Brady & Whitney – Married

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 Posted in Weddings

I’m so excited that Brady and Whitney were our first wedding of 2012! We knew it would be an amazing day as we were greeted with perfect weather as we arrived at the Doubletree Hotel. The girls got all dolled up with the help of Candace Hernández and then we headed over to St. Paul’s Episcopal for pre-ceremony photos. Whitney’s flowers were designed by Humphrey’s Flowers and they sure had an amazing set up at Fairyland Club for the reception! A-town A-list seriously kept everyone (us included!) having a wonderful time the whole night….if you’re looking for an extraordinary band check these guys out!

Brady and Whitney, I’m so happy that you guys chose us to photograph your wedding….your positive energy, laid back attitude and fun personalities made it so fun to document your wedding day. We adore you both and congratulations!

Ben & Melissa – Married

Wednesday, January 4, 2012 Posted in Weddings

Ben and Melissa were married in Savannah, Georgia New Year’s Eve which happened to be our first New Year’s Eve wedding….and what an amazing day it was! The day was perfect, 72 degrees with plenty of sunshine. Ben and Melissa decided to see each other before the ceremony, finding each other in Forsyth Park, surrounded by the sound of applause from all the observing tourists taking in the sights and sounds of the afternoon. We were treated to a wonderful experience, shooting with these two, against the back drop of the old town section of Savannah.

Following a few short hours of relaxation, they were married in Melissa’s Aunts home, followed by a beautiful reception on the property. The night was magic! Surrounded by loving friend and family, they celebrated the entrance of a new year and a new life together. What a thrilling way to end 2011! Opening 2012 with new beginnings and so much love.

We are thankful to have had the opportunity to witness this event and celebrate the New Year with this group of people. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Barnett!

2011 Year in Review

Wednesday, January 4, 2012 Posted in Weddings

Wow 2011 flew by! As we use this time to reflect on an amazing year and reconnect with our family, we want to also take the time to thank (you!) our amazing clients for such a magnificent year! We are overjoyed and ecstatic from the words of encouragement that have come across our desk in the form of email, notes and phone calls. It’s because of your love of our photography and your support of our growing business that we can call 2011 our best year yet.

Thank you, sincerely, from the bottom of our hearts.

xoxo

Meghan and Eric

Let me add that it’s was VERY hard to choose just one single image from a wedding to choose as a favorite. I also surprised myself by choosing so many exit photos, I guess I’m partial to the happiness that is displayed in those images! Below are some of our favorite images from all our 2011 weddings, enjoy!

Tony & Abby – Married

Thursday, December 8, 2011 Posted in Weddings

I’ve known Abby for several years since her friend Hollie got married, so technically I have Hollie to thank for the introduction! Tony and Abby were married at Abby’s sweet Mom’s house at an intimate ceremony with close family and friends. The ceremony was actually officiated by Hollie’s Dad, go figure! These two are an 11.11.11 couple, who say that they actually didn’t even think about it begin 11.11.11, sure you didn’t! Totally kidding, I believe them (:

Congratulations to you both, we are thrilled to have been there to document the start of your marriage!

Beau & Beth – Married Beau & Beth – Married

Thursday, December 8, 2011 Posted in Weddings

What a special day Beth and Beau and how proud we were to be a part of it! The day started out at Level 10 Salon with the girls, followed by meeting up with the guys at Beth’s home church, St. Timothy Episcopal Church. After a beautiful ceremony with friends and family, the party moved to the Sheraton Read House to celebrate these two in grand fashion.

Tina Player with TP Events did a great job keeping everything running smoothy. We were thrilled to work with Laurel Powell with her floral design company, Poppy….the flowers looked amazing Laurel! The Infinity Show Band was absolutely amazing and they kept everyone dancing until the very end.

Congratulations Beth and Beau, we’ve enjoyed getting to know you two over the past year. You are near and dear to us and we thank you for choosing us to be a small part of your wedding day!

Luke & Alexis – Married

Sunday, November 20, 2011 Posted in Weddings

Luke and Alexis were married last weekend at their home church in Crossville, Tennessee. It’s our second visit to Crossville this year because Luke’s sister, Lynsey, was married last month and we had the honor of photographing both weddings!

It was a tiny bit chilly the morning of the wedding, but the weather was just perfect for all our pre-ceremony photos. Some of my favorites from the day Eric captured of Alexis and her Dad right before walking down the isle, I love the emotion! Also, thanks to Lynsey and Chad for helping with Luke and Alexis’ portraits afterwards, it was a little windy and they were the perfecting lighting assistants!

We’ve quickly grown very attached to both families and we are thrilled that we were a small part of your wedding day….thank you all so much and we hope to see you again soon!

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Myers (:

Ben & Melissa – Engaged

Wednesday, November 16, 2011 Posted in Engagement

Oh dear, where do I begin with this one?! First, Melissa has been dreaming about being “blogged” for a while and she confessed the other day at our session, so I’m making this happen to fulfill her wildest dreams….I hope I can deliver on the hype Melissa!

I first met Melissa at the MAC make-up counter years ago through a great, mutual friend, Olivia. I photographed her and her sisters the same year I purchased my first digital camera….this was like 2006 people, she really had some faith in me and I appreciate that Mel! Almost 6 years later, I feel like my little sister is getting married,,,,cue the awwwwwww!

Melissa and Ben will be married this coming New Year’s Eve in Savannah, Georgia and Eric and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be photographing it. Come on New Year’s, we can’t wait!!

Melissa you are stunning!

Tom & Heather – Mr. and Mrs. taking the plunge

Wednesday, November 16, 2011 Posted in Mr. and Mrs., Portraits

Oh come on, I had to name it that! They figuratlvely and literally took the plunge after their wedding on October 22nd…..Tom and Heather had the crazy idea to jump into the freezing cold water the North Chickamauga Creek blue holes…..so who am I to deny them their photo receiving rights?! Let it be known that it was actually their idea, I would technically never suggest that someone jump into this cold of water, but really who want’s to wait until next summer when you have a good idea?!

I’m sure her bridal shop, Monica’s Bridal, and the dress maker would pass out after seeing what she’s done to her dress….my theory, it will wash out (:

Thank you Tobi with her amazing company, Ivey Handcrafted for providing Heather’s felt bouquet and cute little “Love” banner….you’re the greatest!

Take a look…..

I don’t think any single person (unless they have done this before) can comprehend how cold this water is. Even in the summer it’s VERY cold, in November, probably less than 40 degrees!
