Spring has finally sprung!  This year it took a while for spring to really get on it's feet.  But, as I look out my window and see all the beautiful green, it is a reminder that the rain is worth it.  This next wedding is extra special to me because the bride is an extra special girl.  Katherine was one of my Young Life girls at Webb.  I met here when she was just 14 years old and 10 years later, here she is as a STUNNING bride.  All day the words, "This is the day that the LORD has made.  I will REJOICE and be glad in it..." rang over and over in my head.  And oh how true of a statement that was.  Katherine and Brian, it was an absolute honor to photograph your wedding. I have no doubt that the Lord is going to bless you a million times over.  THANK YOU for allowing me to capture your very special day.

The form of transportation from Cherokee to the church was AMAZING.  And then Justin Timberlake was just icing on the cake :)

It snowed!  It snowed!  It really snowed!!!  If you are like me and never left your house today then you are in goooood company!  We snuggled up watching yo gabba gabba and ate pop corn and homemade snow cream.  It was the perfect snow day and wouldn't mind if it happened again a time or two before spring came.  

For now, I suggest grabbing a nice hot cup of coffee (or hot chocolate!) and get nestled in to see this next wedding.  If you like sweet family heirlooms, charming details, and most of all lots of hugs and kisses and smiling faces on a wedding day, then this is going to be your cup of tea!  I had the privilege of photographing James and Melissa's wedding last Saturday and it was an absolutely perfect day.  It was 70 degrees and sunny for starters!  This sweet, intimate, family wedding had all the makings of what make you want to say "i do" over and over.  James and I have been friends for 10 years and he is the singer of the band "The Dirty Guv'nahs" that my husband has been in for for the last 6 years.  James has literally become like family to me.  We have spent so much time together over the years, taking trips, riding in "the mule", and hanging out backstage at countless guv's shows.  I am so happy that he has married Melissa who is an absolute DOLL!!!  She is beautiful inside and out and I couldn't be more excited to welcome her to the band family!!  Sooooo happy for you two!!!

I don't post a lot of jumping photos, but when an entire family asks to take one, it's too good to not share.

Nick and Lisa were married this fall in one of my favorite places on earth!  Savannah, Georgia!  I absolutely LOVE photographing weddings in this beautiful city!  It has so much character and history and beauty everywhere you turn.  This wedding had the perfect nautical touches to tie in their love for the city and boating.  First City Events and Urban Poppy did such a fantastic job and were so great to work with.

I wrapped up the wedding season with a beautiful wedding at a new venue, The Barn at Chestnut Springs.  Nestled in Sevierville, TN, it is a fabulous barn that has been built with love and no detail was over looked.  It is perfectly rustic, yet updated to meet any wedding need.  The owners were fantastic to work with and really have a heart for brides.  It was a joy to photograph there.  Thomas and Kara were so sweet and so happy to be married.  It was the perfect fall day for a wedding.

Rachael and Blaine got married at the end of September and it was such an amazing day!  I just love shooting weddings of people that I know and love.  I have known Rachael and her family for several years now and having the opportunity to photograph her wedding was such an honor.  I just adore her and she is seriously one of the most beautiful people I know.  Inside and out!  I am so happy for her and Blaine.  Their day truly was a reflection of who they are as a couple.  They were both just beaming all day and were so happy to start their lives as a married couple.

0001_wedekindblog copy.jpg0002_wedekindblog.jpg0004_wedekindblog copy.jpg0005_wedekindblog copy.jpg
if you know Rachael, you know that she LOVES Christmas.  This was one of the best "pre-wedding husband to wife" gifts I have ever seen.  It was FULL of all things Christmas.  Christmas movies, Christmas CD's, and hot chocolate.  I'm pretty sure it was Rachael's favorite thing she saw all day.

These next few are some of my favorite moments from any wedding, but especially this one.  Look at Rachael's sister's face as they kiss for the first time as husband and wife!
1703_rachaelandblainwedding copy.jpg
and then, those first few moments that they couple have together as everyone else is coming down the aisle are always so sweet.  first moments alone as a married couple!  I love how excited they were to peer around the corner to see what was going on!

and this was probably the greatest, happiest, first dance ever.
