When Jessica told me she and Tyler liked to ride bikes at her house in the country, I knew there would be fun pictures ahead. When I saw the bikes were red and well-loved, I was even happier. When I saw Tyler’s argyle socks, I was completely giddy! I think he thought I was teasing him because I kept going on and on about his socks, but what a lot of people don’t realize is that little things like that are what help make the pictures interesting and really “them”! They brought a ton of clothes for me to look through, and also brought along some gerbera daisies to incorporate in the pictures – because once upon a time, they didn’t get to see each other as often as they would have liked, so Tyler would send her flowers to let her know he was thinking of her (to all the guys out there, take notes)..jpg "montgomeryweddingphotographer1")

Every time I look at this one, I can’t help but smile. 🙂.jpg "montgomeryweddingphotographer3")

2010 is shaping up to be another busy year of travels – I’ve already been to Mystic, Connecticut and Orange County, California, and it’s only February! Now that I’ve been home for a bit and am getting back into the swing of things, I can finally share the second of the two weddings I second shot in Toronto for my friend Judy Cormier! I primarily stuck with Carlo, the groom, at the beginning of the day:.jpg "destinationweddingphotographer01")

The ceremony was held at St. Margaret Mary Roman Catholic Church – and Nicole fought back tears as she started her walk down the aisle..jpg "destinationweddingphotographer03")

After the ceremony, we headed to an abandoned farm for portraits:.jpg "destinationweddingphotographer05")

Nicole was stunning in her Atelier Aimee gown – the bottom was made up of layer after layer of pleated chiffon..jpg "destinationweddingphotographer07")

Next, we were off to the reception at Bellvue Manor – where the guests were greeted by a martini bar at the entrance:.jpg "destinationweddingphotographer13")
Inside the reception hall, the silver, white, and crystal decor was truly spectacular:.jpg "destinationweddingphotographer14")

The food was equally fabulous – the antipasto bar was a gorgeous spread, and was followed by a four course dinner:.jpg "destinationweddingphotographer18")

The wedding ended literally on a sweet note – along with the wedding cake, the guests were treated to a decadent dessert bar:.jpg "destinationweddingphotographer23")
Thanks Nicole and Carlo for letting me come all the way from Alabama to be part of your day!
I have to say it – I LOVE shooting in the country! Give me a farm full of open fields, weathered wood, and hay bales, and I’m a happy camper. Lisa & Hunter decided to start their session at Hunter’s family farm, which had all of the above, plus the added bonus of a railroad crossing..jpg "collinsblog7")

This whole series just makes me happy. 🙂.jpg "collinsblog1")

They’re big Auburn football fans, so Hunter went the extra mile and got us access inside Jordan-Hare Stadium so we could finish up their session with a few shots on the field!.jpg "collinsblog4")

AddiBeth (also known as the baby with the cutest ears on the planet) had her second session with me on what turned out to be a cold day – but you’d never know by looking at the pictures because she was happy as a clam. We tried to make it quick, and she brought her best gummy smile to help us get the job done!.jpg "bradshawblog2")

Since they booked me via email for their wedding, I hadn’t met Whitney & Matt until the day of their engagement session. I drove up to Auburn University (where they met), and after chatting with them for a bit, I decided they are a delicious combination of three S’s: a little shy, a little sweet, and a little silly. They’re also observant – when I said I wanted to find a colorful spot, Whitney mentioned a little nook painted orange and teal, and when Matt spotted “you are loved” stenciled on a bit of concrete, I wanted to do a happy dance! Always good when your clients are looking out for you!.jpg "rameyblog7")
