stephanie & jason are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 7 Comments

things are kinda going crazy around here; who would have thought october would be so popular? we have ten shoots left this month and i have no idea how in the world they are going to all get edited before november hits! we’re already taking turns massaging each other’s forearms during editing breaks; isn’t our job so intense?! at least busy guarantees lots of blog posts, right? starting today. rarely do you hear from us twice in a day- i hope this isn’t annoying but really, i have another shoot to put up tomorrow so without further ado, stephanie and jason!

so, matt and i love this couple. stephanie is absolutely the sweetest girl ever, up for anything and secretly a model- i made that last part up, but seriously, stephanie, you’re a model. and jason? he’s a professional bull rider. i did not make that up. he’s also really funny and awesome at loving his lady in front of our cameras- we love when guys just embrace it like jason did. bottom line, if you’re not prepared for a lot of super-hot, don’t scroll down.

lesley & michael are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 4 Comments

i got to know lesley while hanging out with her as she performed her maid of honor duties at anna and jason’s wedding. she kept everyone laughing while making sure everything was perfect for anna- now it’s her turn! lesley and michael will be married in april and no doubt anna will be there for lesley just as lesley was for anna. that’s what best friends are for!

last thursday, after scouring atlanta for gas, we took off for thomaston, ga for lesley and michael’s engagement session. we met at michael’s family’s home for a more personal and intimate shoot. as we explored the property we found out that michael is a probation officer and lesley is a high school teacher on her way to law school- the perfect combo for crazy stories! i can only imagine these two regaling one another with stories over dinner, every night, for the rest of their lives. there will be a lot of laughter in their house!

mallory & marlon are married!

By | Weddings | 8 Comments

there is something magical about watching two lovers and two families become one. that phenomenon has never been more beautiful than it was at mallory and marlon’s wedding. family was the focus of the day and was woven into every detail of the day from the intimate ceremony in telfair square– the only square in savannah named after a family- to the personalized place cards marked with phrases to spawn discussion and friendship. matt and i were both overwhelmed by the tenderness of this couple- the poem they read together as their vows sums up perfectly what i’m trying to say. i could tell story after story about this couple and their wonderful families, but i’ll do that as we go- let’s get started with some images!

after a quick trip to the salon mallory & marlon were up for a few portraits around downtown savannah. they are in love with the city -we are too now!- and they knew exactly a few locations they wanted images taken, awesome!

the staging area was a museum across from the square, the white interior and huge windows made for some of our favorite images of the day!

marlon’s grandparents were too sweet and full of love and advice for the couple as they waited to walk to the ceremony. this is our new favorite image ever:

mallory and marlon were practicing their vows until the last minute and they were perfect at the ceremony!

their reception was held in the beautiful upstairs room at garibaldi’s– walking distance from the ceremony. it was a beautiful day and everyone arrived at the reception ready for more fun:

mallory’s dad looks on as everyone tapped their glasses, encouraging the newlyweds to kiss:

there were some seriously tear-jerking toasts. when marlon talked about the personal gift mallory’s dad presented to him there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.

the rest of the evening there was lots of dancing and laughing and enjoying one another. quite the perfect way to top off a wonderful day.

!

mallory & marlon, thank you for inviting us into your family for a day, we truly felt like we’d known you forever! you two are amazing people and together you’re perfect. i hope we see you again- you helped us fall in love with savannah, no doubt we’ll be visiting again!  thank you again for everything and best wishes!
