If coming from a strong family is the key to a happy marriage - these two have it made! Both come from large loving families and there was so much joy and celebration this day. Here's a peek at Samuel + Chelsea's Beautiful Day...
This one is so sweet!
A kiss for dad just before walking down the aisle...
"Waiting for My Turn"...
I love little country churches. So I was excited when I pulled up for Justin and Danielle's wedding, because the church was just so perfect.
Now small churches don't generally have a lot of "getting ready" room and it was a bit warm that day, but Justin and Danielle remained cool & calm and so obviously in LOVE. : ) Danielle's smile as she waited for him to turn around and see her during the "first glance" session was glowing - truly glowing! Justin's face when he saw her did not disappoint - he was stunned - how cool is that?! Here is a little peek...
I Love this shot Sara (my talented second shooter) got of the guys hanging before the wedding...
Mr. & Mrs!!! They seem happy about it! : )
The Cakes were Gorgeous!!!
The golf ball mints were a perfect touch! and yummy!
One last peek of the happy couple! More to come!
A beautiful day with family and friends - Steven and Courtney's wedding at a rural country church was lovely. Her maid of honor - Krista saved the day by helping me gather folks for pictures and I think I may have to hire her on an on-going basis! :) Here are a few special shots from their day...

Dean & Whitney's wedding day was sunny, happy and HOT. The wedding was at the beautiful First Baptist Church in McMinnville - but of course I wanted to drag everyone outside for some of the pics. Everyone did it; and no one complained!! Thank you! Thank you!
It would be impossible to describe Whitney in one word. But if I had to take her wedding day and use just one adjective it would be "ADORED" - mainly by her father AND her new husband. The emotion as her dad kissed her and gave her hand to Dean was just amazing.
Here are a few pics from the day...Enjoy!
the rings....
The beadwork on Whitney's dress was AMAZING!!
Dancing Flower Girls...
The Handsome Groom...
Whitney, breathtaking...
My wonderful second-shooter (who happens to be my husband :)) took this incredible shot where Whitney's dad offered her a "P" monogrammed hanky to wipe her tears - saying "You won't be a "P" anymore...Whitney's reply "I'll alway's be a "P"!
That moment as Dad walks away and Dean takes her hand...
A few of Dean and Whitney from the silly to the serious...
Is it just me - or does it look like they are surrounded by a heart of light...
It was a beautiful, sunny - glorious day - for a beautiful, glorious wedding. We had such a great day with Allison and Michael - they are so obviously crazy about each other. The details of this wedding were just stunning - and so thoughtful. From the hand-painted aisle runner, to the silver tussy-mussies embellished with each bridesmaid's initial, to the choice of songs sung by Michael's brother, the details made this wedding shine!
I believe Barbara Jane, Allison's mother, is my new hero for her impromptu bustling of Allison's dress at the reception - using the spare safety pins I always keep in my car. It was a work of art! :)
Here's a sneak peak of their day...
Did I mention that Allison painted this herself? - Beautiful and Talented!
The rings...
The bridesmaid's bouquets...
More beautiful details...

Tim got this great shot of the guys...
Love Allison's face in this one - I think she's happy! :)
Yep she's happy!
Just love this last one....
When I first met with Hannah & her mom Lisa almost a year ago, the plans for the wedding were just forming, but the one thing they both said is they wanted it to be fun - not stressful. In fact, Hannah played me the song she wanted to play as she walked down to Brad and it was Heavenly Day by Patti Griffin. I fell in love with the song and I've probably listened to it a hundred times since then because I left their house and immediately bought the CD!
Here's a sneak peek of Chrissy & Terry's - beautiful wedding day. They were married at a small church in Irving College. They were high school sweethearts and both families seem to already be one. : )
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.
Well, they said it would rain, and it did. They said it would pass, and it did... long enough for the ceremony anyway! Justin & Tara are truly dear to us - we just LOVED being a small part of their wedding day. I saw so many folks I knew - friends and family working so hard to make this occasion perfect. Unfortunately Mother Nature decided to throw a bit of celebratory rain and we all got a bit ...um..muddy. But I've never seen it affect anyone less. Tara would look beautiful in ANYTHING. and Justin - well you just have to know him to know how little a rainy day would affect how he feels about marrying Tara. Here are a few from the editing table - much more to come! :)
When our dear friends Mitch and Angie got married last month, I had the honor of taking a few pictures. These two have known each other since High School, but rekindled their friendship after years of losing touch. When the friendship became something more - we were so thrilled!
