Gone, but not forgotten!

So last year my plate was running over big time....way too much to do and nowhere near enough time to do it in. Sadly, my blog was one of the things I put on the back burner. Needless to say, I still haven't slowed down....and it's still on that back burner! Hopefully one day I'll have a new one up and running - one that's a little quicker and easier for me to update, but until then, you can always add me as a friend on Facebook to see favorite images from my recent events! Click HERE and send me a friend request! Thanks so much!

Lindsay & Edward

Lindsay and Edward were our first couple of 2009. I have been neglecting my blog very, very badly and I'm so thankful they have been very patient. Things have just been so busy finishing up things for the year's end and getting ready for taxes is no fun at all!

Lindsay and Edward were married at the beautiful Ryan Nichols Inn in Simpsonville back in January. Although it was cold, the day couldn't have been more perfect.
Lindsay patiently waiting before the ceremony and chatting with her girls.

Lindsay's dad walking her down the aisle as Edward gets his first look at her.
One thing I love about Ryan Nicholas....it definitely allows for shots you don't typically get at church weddings. This one of their guests.... And this one of Lindsay as she smiles at her groom!
After the ceremony the bridal party had to wait on the back patio to be introduced at the reception. It was a tad cold standing out there, but they had fun while they waited.
Then it was time for the fun to begin!
There were way too many shots I liked of their first dance as husband and wife.
A few shots of the rings!

And then the cake!
I was able to sneak away for a few minutes with the bride and groom for some pictures of them alone!
I think this one is my absolute favorite from the night.
And then back inside for some more dancing!

Mason was having a blast!
The Party Machine did a great job keeping the guests on their feet!

I think these two were all smiles the whole night!

The bouquet toss from the balcony.
And a romantic kiss as the newlyweds headed for their honeymoon!

Lindsay and Edward, thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to be a part of your wedding day and thank you even more for patiently waiting on your sneak peek!

Christin & Brandon

Christin and Brandon have been so patient waiting on their sneak peek....thanks guys for being patient...we've had a LOT going on so the blog kind of got pushed to the back burner. The Saturday after Christmas was Christin and Brandon's big day! Christin was soo excited and Brandon was nervous.....and the ceremony, well, it was gorgeous!

Christin was busy getting ready.....
And ready to go after some last minute hair touch-ups!
Some portrait fun with the girls before the ceremony.
The guys...well, they had a special surprise up their sleeve for Brandon!!!!
The beautiful ceremony and Christmas decorations.

I love the cross - it being lit up in the darken sanctuary made it's glow that much brighter!!Finally, the kiss!

The moment that they are finally together and can relax...the pressure has disappeared!

Then is was time for a little fun at the reception....the yummy cake....and can't forget the bling!Their first dance.

Brandon's dance with his mom....and one of my favorite images....Christin watching and sharing a loving moment with her mom.

The cake cutting got a little messy.

Christin and some friends....

The Party Machine did a great job of keeping the dance floor full!

Guests were dancing the entire reception!

Even Keri and Jeremy (and baby Ava) were on the dance floor!

A picture perfect bouquet toss......and a great catch!

The guy who caught the garter was blindfloded so that he could place it on the leg of the "girl" who caught the bouquet.....that was dirty! LOL!

Little Kayla is not so little anymore! She's growing up fast!

And finally it was time for their last dance!

I love the way Christin was looking at Brandon....I don't think they knew there was anyone else around!
Before the newlyweds took off for their honeymoon, their parents gathered around to give them a big hug....and shed a few tears!

Then out the door they went!

We had the opportunity to follow them to their hotel for some fun shots before we left.

I think this was the best part of the day for me. I love these shots.....

Christin's mom had pinned a sachet under Christin's dress when she was getting ready. It was filled with notes from all the women in her life.

While we were there, the bride and groom had their first fight as husband and wife - a pillow fight!

Finally we were kicked out of their room!

And left the two of them alone!
Christin and Brandon - thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your special day. We had a great time and I don't think it could have been more perfect! We enjoyed it and hope you two had a great time on your honeymoon to D.C.!
