Jillian and Bryan {weddings}: Starkville, MS

In November (I know, I’m way behind in posting pictures) I photographed Jillian and Bryan’s wedding in Starkville.  They are both avid MS State fans.  Jillian actually works in the Athletic Department, and she played golf there!  She got access to a couple of golf carts and we were able to drive around campus and take pictures.  She was also able to get us on the baseball AND football fields.  I love when bride and grooms are fun and flexible and eager to do different things on their wedding day!  Thanks for allowing me to capture your wedding day!

 

Mary Margaret {senior}

We have known the Swain family for the 5 years we’ve lived in Columbus. I love Mary Margaret’s parents. Her mom is super creative and talented. I saw her dad yesterday while I was running. He’s a fireman and a hard worker! I took MM’s brother’s senior pictures several years ago. Such an awesome family!!

Mary Margaret is a great athlete. She plays goalie and stopped the other team from scoring 21 goals in one game a couple of weeks ago! We had fun driving around taking pictures. Rebecca had scouted out some places for us, and we’d jump out, make MM change clothes and take pictures!

Thanks Swain family for allowing me to freeze time in your kids lives!

Mattern family: Jackson, MS

I’m REALLY behind in blogging. Really behind. Maybe over the next month I can post some new pictures. These are our friends Will and Alicia Mattern and their sweet girls. Ali is pretty shy, so we were happy we got some pictures of her smiling. Alicia is a runner, and Will is a triathlete – so both inspire me to exercise more. They are probably two of the most disciplined people I know, getting up extremely early in order to work out. (I like my sleep too much!). We love you guys!

Stephanie and Ben: Jackson, MS engagement pictures

Stephanie and Ben are one of the most genuine couples I’ve met. Stephanie came to the studio several months ago for us to talk about her wedding. We had several mutual friends, and I knew immediately their wedding was one I wanted to be a part of! Their goal is to have a worshipful ceremony in which Jesus is the center, as He is in their lives!

We are also excited about working with Shanna Lumpkin, Tulip Floral, The Cake Diva, and The Atlanta All-Stars.

Here are a few of their engagement pictures. We took some in downtown Jackson before we headed out to Pinelake Church to take some at the cross where Ben proposed to Stephanie! We were hoping for sunset pictures, but it was overcast. The clouds could not have turned out any better! It definitely gives the pictures dimension and mood.

Linley and Jack {engagements}: Oxford, MS

I love Oxford. I love the fall in Oxford. I love taking pictures in Oxford during the fall. The colors are amazing. The lighting is perfect. The weather is beautiful. I was so glad that Linley and Jack could come to Oxford for their engagement pictures. We had one weekend that we could all meet there, and it worked perfectly. I can’t wait for their wedding in 2012!
