Brandy + Justin

Brandy and Justin were married 6.23.2007 in Arkansas. Justin is Ray's nephew so it was really cool to be able to play such a huge part at his wedding. Justin has always been a planner so we knew everything would be just perfect... and aside from a monsoon right when we got to the venue (which he couldn't have stopped if he tried!)... it was! They had so many neat little details that really showed who they were.

Congratulations Brandy and Justin! We love you guys!

Suzanne + Todd

Suzanne and Todd were married 7.7.2007 at Wolf Mountain Vineyards in Dahlonega, Georgia. Poor Suzanne had the worst luck right before the wedding but it all came together perfectly! They are such a fun couple. They really incorporated themselves into a lot of the details. My favorite was the lottery ticket favors with the stamped penny scratchers. SO cute! We also had a lot of fun with their rings on the grape vines. We may be single handedly responsible for ruining Wolf Mountain's wine for this year but we sure did get some great shots! :)

This picture is a perfect description of Suzanne and Todd's personalities!

Amanda + Jeff

Amanda and Jeff got married 6.16.2007 at Chateau Elan. I love weddings at Chateau Elan! Unfortunately, the vines were pretty bare because of the weather... but that didn't stop us from using them! The flowers at their wedding were AMAZING. They really decorated the atrium so beautifully. I had to add a few extra than I normally do just so you could see the flowers.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love bulldogs. (Not because of UGA... I didn't go there :) While we were doing the photos of Amanda and Jeff after the ceremony it came up in conversation that when they got back from their honeymoon they were adopting a child... a little baby girl bulldog named Lucy. I made them promise they would bring her to our meeting when we gave back their pictures... and they did! So the last photo I added because I Love Lucy. :)

Enjoy!

And what's a wedding without the Thriller dance... really? :)

Merrie Beth + Ruben

Ok... so I know I've been slacking but we've been really busy trying to get everyone's pictures edited! :) I'm going back a few weeks with these next few blogs so forgive me...

Merrie Beth and I went to school together way back in the day. In fact, we were in the same 5th grade "Program Challenge" class where her dad (an architect) taught us how to make our own blueprints. That's pretty much the only thing I remember from 5th grade. :)

Merrie Beth and Ruben were married 6.9.2007 at Magnolia Hall in Social Circle. This was the first time we had ever done a wedding at this venue and I'm really glad we got the chance! Beautiful house with beautiful gardens made it very easy to find good places for photos. Merrie Beth is so much fun and it really comes out in the pictures. She didn't stop smiling all day!

I'm really glad I got the chance to photograph such an old friend's wedding. Merrie Beth and Ruben... thanks again for letting us be a part of your special day!! Here are some of my favorites...
