Josh, waiting for the ceremony to begin
Harriet’s Family
Josh’s mother shared her beautiful musical skills, singing “At Last” before the processional.
More to come!
Harried and Josh, whose engagement photos are here, were married at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia. It was the last weekend in June, and it was HOT! We still managed to get some great (and quick!) photos outside before the ceremony began.
I absolutely love the colorful flowers Harriet picked for the bouquets. I couldn’t resist taking a photo of the rings on them.
Apparently Harriet has won the “I love you more” contest by inscribing this message inside Josh’s wedding band. Cute!
More to come.
I introduced you to Winter just after he was born in this post. These photos were taken when he was about 9 days old, which is a great time for newborn photos. Within the first 2 weeks a baby is still sleeping a lot and is comfortable in those cute curled up positions. These photos were all taken on location in the comfort of the new family’s home.
Winter is a thinking man!
Can’t resist this little cutie!
Here he’s asleep in his daddy’s arms.
And looking into Mama’s loving eyes.
He’s already a happy boy!!
This is one photo/pose that clients often request. It calls for one strong arm and one very sleepy baby.
The happy family.
(You may recognize Mama Amy from the front page of my web site. Winter’s older sister Lucinda was the model for that photo, just over a year before!)
Jackie and Greg’s reception was held at a ballroom at The Foundry Park Inn.
The First Dance.
Enjoying a toast.
And of course, the father-daughter dance.
Jackie got these adorable favors on etsy. I just love them!
Their beautiful rings.
The flowers for the wedding were done by Gardenia Floral Design. They always make perfect arrangements that fit the couple just right!
Jackie’s friends were all hoping to catch that bouquet!
Tony from EPO is a great DJ who keeps the party going from start to end! Here he’s showing off his dancing skills to The Cupid Shuffle.
One of Jackie’s bridesmaids made this fantastic prop for photos. We had so much fun!
Thanks Jackie and Greg for throwing such a fabulous party and having me there to capture all the moments. I had a blast!!
Jackie and Greg got married at the Catholic Center at UGA.
Carrie Scruggs played the Harp for their ceremony. Carrie does a fabulous job and adds such beauty to a wedding! (Carrie can be reached at 706-369-1902 or carriescruggs@bellsouth.net)
The groom sees his bride for the first time!
The bride and her father.

The Foundry Park Inn in Athens, GA is a fabulous venue for a wedding. They have a few ballrooms for your event in addition to the Hoyt House Pavillion, the Melting Point, and the Hoyt House private dining room. There is a spa for relaxation and getting ready for your big day and great rooms for you and your guests to stay in.
Jackie & Greg’s Rehearsal Dinner was held at the Hoyt House Pavillion and it was fabulous! I love it when a couple hires me for the rehearsal dinner in addition to their wedding. The rehearsal dinner is usually the closest of the couple’s friends and family, including those who travelled to the wedding just for you! There are also some of the best toasts which make for perfect photo opportunities on this more casual evening before the wedding. Here are some of my favorite photos from Jackie and Greg’s Rehearsal Dinner.
Greg’s Dad toasts the bride and groom.
And Greg’s friends “Roast” him!
Good friends = Good times
Rose and Adam had their reception at Pat’s Kountry Kitchen. They had a great room for the reception and some of the best fried chicken I’ve had in a while!
The mother of the groom (in the middle, also my aunt) and her friends giving the couple a congratulations.
Chris, who introduced the bride and groom, makes a speech.
Adam’s sister, my cousin Robin, also made a touching speech at the reception.

They are off! (Note to brides and grooms to be… bird seed hurts!)
Ready for Mexico!
Some more photos from Adam and Rose’s Wedding in Blue Ridge, GA
Rose gets her makeup done at the salon.
I love the colorful flowers!
No words are needed to describe the joy and love in these next few photos…
It was quite a hot day, but we stopped for a quick photo in front of the church before heading to the reception.
More to come!
My cousin Adam got married over Memorial Day weekend in Blue Ridge Georgia. We all love his beautiful and loving bride Rose! I was excited to have the chance to be their photographer. I’m always capturing such special moments for my clients and their families, and it was a moving experience to be able to capture those moments for my own family.
On Friday afternoon we had a bridal luncheon for Rose. All the ladies wrote down two of our favorite recipes for Rose to start her a collection so that she and Adam can enjoy cooking together in their new home. I thought this was a fabulous idea, and I pitched in two recipes from my Italy trip in 2004 – including one for tiramisu! (We did it ahead of time, they sent the recipe cards in with the invitation.) Here are the ladies.
Next we went to the rehearsal. I love to see Rose looking into Adam’s eyes with such love!
And excitement!
Rose’s sister sang in the ceremony.
The rehearsal dinner was held at The Toccoa River Restaurant.
The mother of the groom (also my Aunt) gave a great toast at the rehearsal dinner.
As did Adam’s best friend and best man.
More to come soon!
