They had a small, intimate December ceremony, and are now living their happily ever after with baby on the way! So happy for this amazing couple.

Kim, the beautiful bride just before the ceremony.

I love this shot… Kim has such a close-knit family and everyone took part in the celebration.

The flower girls were too precious for words!

Lucky man!

Gestures Wedding and events in Memphis, TN did the flowers and the decorations for the wedding. Everything was breathtaking.

The bride with her sister and besties getting ready…

Beautiful backdrop, again done by Gestures Wedding and  Events. Gorgeous, right?

Mark with his sons. Such a handsome lot.

Seriously, couldn’t you just eat them up? So. Stinkin. Cute.

Bridgette, Kim’s niece, gives the groom a wink.

This photo just captures the joy in the room. Look at their faces! I love this shot!

 

You may now kiss the bride…

The first dance.

Daddy and Daughter!

Ceremony is over… let the fun and dancing begin!

Sweet Hunter, who was an usher, with Sabrina, one of the cutest flower girls in the universe.

Dancing the night away.

Time for the honeymoon….

Au Revoir!

I just laid my beautiful new rug down yesterday. Sigh. She doesn’t look very ashamed, does she?

Aubrey and Addison were two of the most photogenic and sweetest babies I’ve ever photographed! I had so much fun… Baby Aubrey with her big eyes was a delight to photograph.

 

Big sissy Addison was not about to be outdone by her sister’s cuteness… is she not the most adorable and photogenic girl you’ve ever seen? She’s a natural in front of the camera…

The two of them together, absolutely beautiful. I’d say that mommy and daddy are in trouble once these two begin their dating years.

Baretta is one of the most beautiful people, both inside and out, and I was honored that she asked me to photograph her special day. Both Baretta and Melvin are widowed, and their wedding theme was “God is a God of Second Chances.” Goosebumps, right?

I love how the color changes from grey to blue from one hour to the next. The country is stunningly beautiful, the people are warm and the landscapes picture perfect.

Giggles, dancing, and whispering galore… and oh the DRAMA!

(Of course, it’s what mom lives for…) Here are a few of my favorites. We took them by the lake in our neighborhood at sunset, thus the spectacular colors. What you can’t see in the background, is daddy jumping up and down making a fool of himself to try and get the kids to smile.

The wedding is of our friend, Alissa, and her new husband Jim – runners extraordinaire.  Alissa was the most beautiful bride, and you can see her love for Jim coming through each of these photos. The wedding took place in beautiful Lichterman Nature Center in Memphis, TN.

You would never have believed the day started off rainy. But once the ceremony started, the sun came out from behind the clouds and we captured these beautiful photos!

I love this one. It’s just so real.The Alissa I know and love…

The setting was beautiful – Bartlett Japanese Gardens in Bartlett, TN. Lori and her husband Jim were so sweet and relaxed, the wedding was an absolute dream to shoot.

This is my favorite photo. You can see their daughter Lourdes peeking through them while they kiss. Look at her precious smile!Lourdes and her daddy.
