Alli + Chris | Myrtle Beach, SC | Destination Wedding

and a few from the rehearsal:

Destination weddings have a special energy about them.  I never really know what to expect, other than a good time.  Last September, I met up with some great people in Myrtle Beach.  This group had me at the rehearsal, when the boys showed up in plastic animal pool floaties and shark tooth necklaces.  Then Alli REALLY had me when she essentially gave me permission to execute any visions I had.  That kind of trust is always so refreshing.  Their decision to get married at the beautiful Litchfield Plantation was, I have to say, a super one.  Although an hour long monsoon moved their outdoor ceremony indoors, spirits were still high and since Chris & Alli saw each other before the ceremony, we got all of their portraits done just in time.  As a couple, I would call them perfect.  Beautiful people with amazing personalities.  Alli fits so perfectly into Chris’s arms and he’s always right there, willing to love her.  I think I heard him say numerous variants of , “Just tell me what do do” and “Whatever you want” throughout the entire day.  He even agreed to a day after session at 8am the next morning, which makes my photographer heart happy!   It was an honor to meet Alli & Chris and be a part of such a beautiful weekend AND see one of my awesome 2009 couples for the first time since their wedding day!  So fun.  I honestly don’t have enough words…. just perfection.

Kudos to you! I’m happy that you published this. You need to change and grow, as an artist. Your clients will understand that and love it, too. :) I love that image, by the way. Gorgeous, gorgeous! Can’t wait to finally meet you soon. Keep your spirits up! :)

I love how the bride let down her hair…literally…for the pictures. It was very refreshing and simplistic! Either way she looked beautiful!

Jayme + John | Lexington, KY | Engagement

59 degrees.  That’s what the forecast said.  It’s winter in January in Kentucky, but I really believed it could happen!  Although it didn’t quite make it to that temp, we were lucky enough to not completely freeze or get rained on (much).  Cute couple Jayme + John will be tying the knot in October and I’m really happy we got to spend some time together during their e-sesh because Jayme’s been a long time follower of my blog and I’m unable to photograph their wedding!  Luckily, Louisville has some awesome talent and they’re going to be in good hands! Congrats you two, thanks for hanging out with me!

Ashley + Lance | Danville, KY | Wedding

These are a few favorites from Ashley & Lance’s super personalized, laid back and laughter filled wedding day.  They’re one of the easiest and fun couples I’ve photographed and it was a joy capturing it all.

Stephanie + Levi | Caribbean Cruise Wedding

We set sail last October.  Miami, Key West, Cozumel & back.  The entire weekend was filled with laughs, tears, stories, gambling, karaoke, inebriation, bonds, dancing, more laughs, a bit of sea sickness, some rain and a whole lot of love.  Oh, and of course… photos.  Stephanie & Levi, again, thank you so, so much for inviting Geni and I along to be a part of your wedding.  We really felt like part of the group and I’m so happy to be the one to capture the amazing memories for you.  Watching you both in the craziest or most calm moments, I really say to myself, “They are in LOVE”.  It’s what every couple hopes to find for a lifetime.  As perfect as two humans can be as a couple, I believe you are.  G, thank you so much for coming along.    Steph & Levi celebrated the following Friday with an encore reception in Kentucky.

Janie + Andrew | Louisville, KY | Wedding

Every time I’m working with Janie & Andrew, the lines between work and play really begin to blur.  Everyone involved in this wedding was SO much fun and love Janie & Andrew so much.  It was my honor to spend the day with them, Kristin & I had such a good time.

Another great Jecker/Edelen connection. Thirty-four years ago Steve Jecker fixed Andrew’s parents (Leah and Glenn) up on a blind date. Four years later Andrew was born. Now, on 10-8-2011, another bond with the two families! Where will it all end, no one knows!!!! But it’s sure to go on at least one more generation! Right?? Janie & Andrew? Mom and Dad

One of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen. You both look so in love and happy. Congratulations and Best Wishes.
