Collins & Jenna got married on August 20th of this past year. Internet, now you know how behind I am on blogging. Shame on me. Jenna was such a classy bride, and throughout the whole day I just kept thinking about how regal she looked. And the girl loved some bling! It was awesome. :) She & Collins just exude love for each other and were such naturals in front of the camera.

On their day, they were surrounded by some incredible friends and family who take the whole loving and caring for thing to a whole new level. Weddings like this are the ones that get me so excited for me & Aaron’s. Here are my faves!

Can we just talk about how fabulous of a hair style this is?? I basically love it.
Oh, and this is officially example #1 of Jenna’s regalness. :)

Just stunning.

My pictures get photobombed a lot… It happens when you’re shooting in public. This is probably my favorite photobomb yet. :)

Even the cake needed some bling! :)

Ya’ll are just plain fierce.
Sidenote: Jenna & Collins gave me 20 minutes during their reception (while guests were still eating) to do some bride & groom portraits. Brides, if you don’t want to do a first look, this is a GREAT way to ensure you get wonderful pictures of you & your man.

Favoriteeee!

 

As soon as I shot this, I thought, “CANVAS MATERIAL, YO!” Yes, I screamed it in my head. And then I found out that this is one that Jenna & Collins are having made into a canvas. My heart = happy.

Hey, look! It’s Justin & Grace!

Congrats, Mr. & Mrs. Pace! :)

Tony & Heather are such a sweet couple who are married and have 2 beautiful baby girls. Okay, so they’re not babies, but I just feel like that’s what adorable little girls should be called. Right after Thanksgiving, Tony & Heather renewed their vows, which will be blogged very shortly… Instead of the normal engagement session, I shot a ‘Just Cause’ session for them. It makes me so happy to see couples that prioritize getting pictures taken after getting married, and holy cow… These people are just beautiful! Take a look at some of my faves from our session… :)

Yeah, he loves her. You can just tell. :)

Ya’ll know I love a good pair of shoes.

Favorite #1.

But this one is for realsies my fave. :)

And this, internet, is how to kiss.

To say that 2011 was a great year would be an understatement. Finished school. Met a boy. Had some rockin’ clients. Yeah, I’ll take it. Was it a crazy busy year? Yeah. Only 5 of the 15 weddings I shot were in Jacksonville, which meant lots of early mornings, delayed flights, rental cars, GPS failures, and probably about 500 gallons of Starbucks’ Cinnamon Dolce Latte. Yummm. But hey, what’s life without a little adventure? :)

Last year, I shot 3 weddings (2010 recap here), and I knew I wanted to blow that number out of the water in 2011. 2012 holds a lot of unknowns. I’d like to shoot 20-25 weddings next year, but moving 1100 miles from home is probably going to make the pretty difficult. So Internet, I would ask you to tell all your engaged Arkansas friends to hire me. I would be eternally grateful. :) All that being said, I am so blessed to be able to look back on another great year. The Lord has been good to me, and I am so thankful for all the love and life I was able to capture last year. :)
