Hannah & Nick are Married – Smithonia Farm Wedding

By | Weddings | 7 Comments

Hannah & Nick had the most perfect southern wedding. There was intricate lace, sweet iced tea, dreamy pastures and golden sunlight- and of course, plenty of hugs and smiles to go around! Oh, and there were popsicles, which is totally awesome but i’ll get to that later. We arrived at Hannah & Nick’s wedding a little earlier than we scheduled to start shooting so that we could scout out the property. We were so excited to notice the amount of time scheduled for couple portraits and we wanted to take full advantage of the beautiful venue Hannah chose! After making a few mental notes of locations to return to later, we returned to find hannah, reclining with her best friends, chatting away and enjoying a light lunch. The chill, fun vibe of the day was set!

The temperature climbed up to 97 degrees as we finished up bridal party and family portraits outside so it was quite a relief to hang out around the huge fans running inside. I love these images of Nick as he cooled off and relaxed before the ceremony:

When the time came for couple portraits we couldn’t wait to get started! Hannah & Nick are such naturals- they rocked every location and pose direction we threw at them! These are some of my favorite portraits ever, so classic:

KING OF POPS! Yes, please. What a perfect treat for a warm summer wedding!

Hannah & Nick, congratulations! You guys had an awesome wedding; thank you so much for having us. Hope you’re loving married life!

my amazing wife’s golden birthday

By | Personal | 6 Comments

i was informed recently that when your birth-date is the same as your age, it’s your golden birthday. who knew?!

think back several years… kate and i had barely started dating when it was her birthday and i really didn’t know what to do. with the help of a friend, i decided to make her breakfast in bed- french toast style, basically because it was all i knew how to do! that with some fresh fruit and powdered suger and some orange juice on the side, the delivery was made, up and back down the hill to her dorm room in brumby. had i known then that i’d be making breakfast in bed a bunch of years later, i might’ve taken the time to figure out that she prefers bagels w/cream cheese. :) i lover her!!!

everyone be sure to wish her a happy birthday below or on her twitter!

now, i didn’t immediately understand the hothlanta joke (i did after finding this wiki link on star wars), but now i love it, brilliant! regardless, we hope that you’re enjoying your snowpocalypse, snOMG, snowcation or whatever you’d like to call it- just don’t call it a state of emergency

only 4 inches?!?!… i’m pretty sure in a couple of years we’ll remember it being like 3 1/2 feet
