Brittany & Josh

They say that everybody has a connection when you live in a small town. This seems to be a fairly true statement. Brittany & I actually had a connection that we didn't even realize at first. When I met her for the first time I thought she looked very familiar. We finally figured out that she went with my old Church to a camp called "Crossroads." I probably could dig out a few old pictures of that trip, but I know I probably wouldn't want anyone seeing the ones of me so I won't do that to Brittany :)

I really did enjoy the time I spent with Brittany through the whole process. She is just such a sweet person! When I met Josh on the day of the wedding I realized that he also seemed to be just a really nice guy.

I'd like to share with you their story of how Josh proposed to Brittany:

"Josh put my ring in the Christmas tree. We get each other ornaments each year and he told me he put an ornament for me on the tree and that I needed to find it. I had trouble finding it so he helped. I took the ring off the tree and he got on one knee."

Josh, great job on being creative! I love to hear engagement stories! Brittany & Josh, thank you for letting me Photograph your BIG DAY!

Brittany is just such a pretty girl! She looked perfect on her wedding day!

I absolutely loved her dress. The details were gorgeous!

Brittany & I are both HUGE "I Love Lucy" fans! I couldn't resist getting a shot of her slippers :)

This is one of my favorite shots of Brittany.

Brittany received an unexpected surprise from Josh before the ceremony. He bought her a nice gift & wrote her a sweet card. Moments like this is part of what your wedding day should be all about!

Josh & his boys were a few doors down from the girls. I was glad I was able to snap a few shots of Josh & the guys getting ready.

Their ceremony was very beautiful.

Meet Mr. & Mrs. Boseman!

I snapped a few shots of the boys before the Ceremony. I love outdoor shots, so I was glad we were able to take a few minutes to sneak out before it was dark!

I love this moment between Josh & his daughter Kaylie.

Kaylie's hair is just so beautiful!

I also enjoyed getting to know Brittany's mom and sister a little better through the process of Brittany's Bridal Shoot & Wedding. They are a very cute family!

Couple Time!

I had a lot of fun at their reception! The dancing photo's were some of my favorite, so I'm posting quite a few!

These shots were actually at the end of the night before they headed out!

Their cake was very cute! I'll have to say that Brittany has the better taste in sport teams!

I can't quit saying how much I enjoy ring shots! I have so much fun with them :)

Their car was packed full of balloons. I'm not quite sure how they squeezed in there, but they managed! Their Wedding day turned out PERFECT for them! I wish you guys the best!

Alex & Brian's Wedding

I had been very excited about shooting Alex & Brian's wedding this month! I have shot at The Matthews House before and thought it was a great place for weddings! I have come to realize as a Photographer how cool it is to find out more about the couple I photograph and how they got where they are now. Here is Alex & Brian's Engagement Story that I think you will enjoy, straight from Alex herself!

"Brian and Alex were visiting Alex's parents in England for Christmas. During their trip, Brian was insistent that they take a ride on the London Eye. When the Ferris wheel was at its highest point of almost 450 ft, Brian took a piece of paper out of his pocket and gave it to Alex. He explained that hidden among the scramble of letters was the name of the restaurant where they would be having dinner. Alex tried really hard to figure out the puzzle, and just as her frustration was building, Brian told her to turn the paper over. On the back of the paper Brian had written "Will you marry me? , and when Alex got over her shock she looked down to see Brian on his knee."

There wedding day turned out perfect! I wish them the best! Enjoy this LONG picture post!

The Matthew House

Her shoes are from DSW in case you are wondering :) I loved them!

Alex's cute little sister!

Alex's mom.

I love this shot of Alex. She just looks so beautiful and NATURAL! She doesn't even need makeup!

Alex's hair and makeup were done by Finesse Spa. They did a great job! It started off as a one woman team and a few other girls came and helped out with the makeup.

Her Bridesmaids were very good friends! I loved how they teamed up to help he with her dress. They were very helpful through the day.

You know I love feet shots... :)

Gift from Brian...

She's so eloquent!

The man of the day...BRIAN!

I loved their cake! It was perfect for this time of year! I was grateful to actually to get meet the cake maker herself. Her name is Lynn and she owns a company called "Lynn's Tradions." This was actually the first cake I've ever ate at a wedding I shot. I must say it was also the best cake I have ever ate at anybodys wedding! It was AMAZING!

I love this picture of the girls on the right. It's kind of an inside joke...that I now just happen to know about ;)

My favorite ring shot so far!

They are just a beautiful couple!
