Life as Art

Alyse - Bridal

I love bridal sessions!  I hate bridal sessions!  No, I'm not bi-polar (well not diagnosed anyway..)  But we always have so much fun and get awesome pictures - then I have to wait forever to post them so the groom doesn't accidentally stumble on them ( I don't think too many grooms stalk my site)! But here FINALLY are some of my favorites from Alyse's (Now Mrs. Woodlee) bridal session.  

These are some of the very first shots - I just love this girl!  We did have a bit of a hard time with the "serious" shot at first...

 

 

 

Alyse has such a classic look...

 

 

I told Alyse to bring along her most comfortable accessories....SO...she brought her hikers and her backpack - This is the shot that inspired my Gracie to be a "runaway bride" for Halloween!

 

 

  
   
 
 

Allison's Bridal - The Reveal!

Finally!  Last evening, Miss George became Mrs. Moore, so I can finally post her bridal pictures!! I thoroughly enjoyed ALL of the George women on this session - and their assistance was invaluable.  They were up for anything - and made sure Allison was "camera ready" - whether she was in a chapel, kicked back on the steps or on an old rope swing.  :)   I could go on and on about Allison, but I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.  

Hannah's Bridal!!

Woo Hoo!  I finally get to show this! I've been waiting FOREVER to be able to post these pictures.  But as of 6:00 last evening - Miss Higgins will be Mrs. Gambill! So I've scheduled this to post - early on Sunday~ 

Here is what Brad got to see coming down the aisle - I think just about anyone would consider him a lucky man.  I happen to know Hannah feels she's the lucky one - which is just the way it should be! :)

Rhonda Maynard - The Reveal

Now the she's become Mrs. Maynard and is on a cruise ship somewhere warm and sunny, I can finally show a few pics from Rhonda's bridal session.  We drove up to Sewanee - which is beautiful and a great place for a bridal session - unless you forget something - like the bouquet.  OOPS.

Rhonda's mom Ann, scooted back down the mountain and got the bouquet and made it back before we were done shooting. So we got to use it  in some of our shots (beautiful).  We won't talk about how fast she had to drive - I happen to know two policemen that occasionally read this blog! :)  We love Ann and don't want to get her in trouble. 

A shout out to the best maid ( yes, I meant to write that) Dena for holding the dress and helping with the shower curtains and moving when I asked her too ;)  We had a ball and I think Rhonda looks just gorgeous...

The infamous bouquet...

The shot Rhonda chose for her portrait...

A couple of my favorites...

Courtney Chisam - The Reveal

Now that the "I do"s have been said and Jeff has seen Courtney come down the aisle, I get to reveal her bridal session. Isn't she stunning?! We started at her grand-parents house and finished at the home of the most gracious Melba Bonner. They were even so kind as to place a ripe wheat field beside the house just for me. Well, maybe they would have done that anyway, but when we pulled up and I saw it, it felt like a gift! :)

My friend Miles Wilson of All-o-k-sions limousines drove out in his antique Ford so we could use it as a back drop. How cool is he?! The car is awesome too; you add that to the beautiful Courtney and I was almost unnecessary. But someone had to press the button! ;)
