I could not let the month end without a quick look back at my favorite photos from last January.  Happy Anniversary to Erin & Chris, Jamie & David, and Monica & Jofie.  You guys were such a  great way to start off last year and I’m proud of you for making it through your 1st year.  [It gets easier. ;)]  On to the images.

Also celebrating it’s 1 year anniversary is The Mug Machine.  She was but a twinkle in my eye last year and now my baby is all grown up and walking. :)  Seriously though, a big big HUGE thank you to Erin & Chris.  I called Erin about 1 week before her wedding and said something like this.

“Hey I have this big white thing and a box full of strange hats, can I bring it to your wedding and take pictures of people?”  I can’t really show you what it would look like since I have never done it before.  You trust me though right? :)”

Thankfully Erin & Chris’ cool meter was dialed to 11 and they were up for it.  Here are a few of my favorites from their wedding.

I had a great saturday afternoon at Castle on the Lake in Jacksonville with Julia & Robert.  Here are a few of my favorite images.

This is part of a new ceremony area that the are putting in.  It should be done in the next few weeks, but I didn’t want to wait to start shooting there. :)

Sometimes brides get hot in East Texas outside in August.

Thank you two for a great night.  I’ll have an album design heading your way soon. :)

Courtney & Jonathan had a great little wedding at Elmwood Gardens.  I gave a sneak peek a few days ago but here are a few more of my favorite images.

They had a fantastic First Look.  (Jonathan teared up a bit.)

Is she smiling because she is getting married to the man of her dreams or because the minister is using an iPad?
Yes.

Lydia Covey was there with harp in hand plucking, playing, and performing perfectly.

Designs by D’Anne made  yet another great looking awesome tasting wedding cake.

Bridal shows are fun.  They are 8 hours of wedding planning overload.  One of my favorite things is when I get to bring The Mug machine to a show.  I had a blast meeting new brides this past weekend, but I also love getting to see all my wedding vendor friends.  I ran a few of them through the machine and here are the results as well as some contact info.

Tiffany The Travel Girl can help you plan for after the wedding. :)

D’Anne of the ever so tasty Designs by D’Anne was also there with her cakes.

I love a wedding with tons of details.  They are cool to look at, they are a way of really stamping your personality onto your day, and they are fun to shoot.  And let’s face it, your wedding day is really all about me and making it more fun for me to be there. :)

Here are SOME of the many many little things Heather & Rusty did to make their wedding their own.

Designs by D’Anne did an incredible job on these cakes.  Not that I ate a few slices or anything ;)

Instead of a pillow, Heather had her ring bearer walk down holding this little tin.
