Jonathan & April – Married

April and I were destined to become friends….and for me to photograph her wedding of course! You see, my Mom, Cathy, travels for her job. She’s gone 3 weeks out of the month and loves to promote her favorite daughter’s business (sorry sissy Missy!). She carries around my little business cards just waiting for someone to utter the word engaged. Funny thing though, when April and my Mom met on an airplane, April wasn’t even engaged yet! Fast forward a year and after Jonathan asked April to marry him, she remembered that business card my Mom so lovingly placed in her hand.

April described Jonathan as her everything and someone that she was very connected with. I experienced that connection when I first met Jonathan at their engagement session. April put so much thought into her engagement session I knew her wedding would be just as special! They were married over Memorial Day weekend at the Chattanoogan and over 200 people were in attendance. Because of the weather we didn’t get to shoot outside, but that didn’t put a damper on fabulous images that we captured! It certainly helps when you have professional models (:

April and Jonathan, congratulations on your marriage and the beginning of your new life together! We appreciate you letting us into your lives to share in your special day.

Humphrey’s flowers knocked it out of the park with these colorful florals!

He, he…..I know April will like this one (:

April’s idea for their First Look was to come down the elevator and have Jonathan waiting on her….talk about putting the man in a spot of intense anticipation! It was very sweet and emotional (:

Stop it April!!

This one is my favorite of the day.

Believe it or not, this is a conference room at The Chattanoogan Hotel. They can transform any room into a wedding dream!

I love this shot….Brittany you’re awesome!

This girl means business!

Leave it to April to have flowers to throw!
