2012....was so so good!

I still can't believe it is already 2013!  2012 was a BLAST and I have to say overall, 2012 was a great year-both business wise and personally! We have been in our studio for a little over a year, Steven and I traveled to North Carolina for our second destination wedding while taking a 2 week road trip, we've had some great opportunities this year- engagement session in an apple orchard, first birthday cake smashes, butterfly themed wedding, beach weddings, snow weddings and everything in between.  It’s been lots of hard work to get here, and worth every minute! I can only hope 2013 will bring many more smiles, tears of happiness and moments!

Thank you to all of my clients (both new and returning!)  that I had the honor to photograph this past year.. without you, none of this would be possible.

Now onto a few of my favorite photos from 2012 (in no particular order)!

Thank you for an amazing 2012, I look forward to seeing you in front of my camera in 2013!

{i do}: J&A

Date: May 19, 2012

Where:  Chandler's Restaurant & Magic Wings 

Second Shooter: Steve 

What a beautiful wedding J&A had!   The sun was shining, the bride was smiling and the groom was  filled with anticipation of seeing his bride for the first time.

Steve, my funny & talented second shooter met up with the guys while they got ready for J's big day! 

I met up A's sisters, nieces and mother in the cozy bridal suite at Magic Wings, A met up with us shortly after.  This room packed to the brim with friendly smiles and a few tears of joy.  

When A's father came into the bridal suite, he was so besides himself there was not a dry eye in the room!

Once the beautiful and romantic ceremony concluded, we took over Magic Wings for all sorts of photo ops! 

Y'all know it wouldn't be an nlbCreative wedding without my signature shot! Thanks to A&J for being good sports as I laid on the floor in the common room (anything for the shot!)

A was getting some wedding day love from the butterflies, that's for sure :)

A made such a stunning bride, here are a few of my favorite images of her:

This reception was unlike any other I've EVER attended...both as a guest and a photographer!  There was KARAOKE! I don't know that I've ever laughed as hard!  So many talented...and brave people haha

The butterfly theme was carried throughout the entire wedding and was done so classy:

Me & my bride <3

 J&A- Thank you so much for having Steve and I be apart of your special day, we hope you'll treasure these images for a lifetime.  Cheers to you, enjoy your life together!
