Oh and check out the 2nd shot I took! I don't think James appreciated me putting him right on the park bench!!

I have been chatting with a super sweet April 2011 Bride and just sent her several links to past engagement sessions and I had an idea! Why not share those here again!?

Here are a few links to past sessions on Jones St in Savannah.

Savannah Bridal Event!

Happy Valentine's Day! {Remember your first Valentine?}

2010-02-13T04:40:00.000-08:00

What a week!! Emma turns 11 on Tuesday but that pales in comparison to what happened to her on Thursday! Her boyfriend, YES, I said boyfriend, Tristen, sent her roses for Valentines day! There's is a love story that was written in the stars!

You already know Tristen! I have been photographing him since he was, oh goodness, 6 or 7? He and Emma met this Summer on Tybee the very day we finished our brief stint as movie stars (HA!) on the Miley Movie, The Last song. They had so much in common, like their love of all things Twilight and waterparks, you know the usual! Little did Angela and I know that young love was in the air!

Fast forward and here we are. We have ourselves with what Emma tells me is an LDR. That's a Long Distance Relationship. Her twitter account recently said... "80% of LDR's don't last, we're that 20%!" Positive thinking, that's my girl!

They are young, but they also live hundreds of miles apart. I think we may have the perfect first love!! ;)

Happy Velentine's Day. See you in April guys!

That's Alana in the background. You know, my other son, Kevin's sister.

I am sitting in Baxley and my head is spinning from what we accomplished today, well not what we accomplished but what LeeAnne accomplished. I won't even bother introducing LeeAnne to you, because if you read the blog you know she is my GA BFF and was one of my very first Savannah Brides, so we will skip the introductions and get straight to the exciting news.

LeeAnne is training to the be the BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER!!! ;) No really, check out her new blog and you will see what I mean!

I am so proud of all of her hard work and research. This has been a huge leap of faith for her. But just look at what her first bridal session produced. We've got far to go, and lots to learn, but I am so stinking proud to call LeeAnne my friend and now, protege. {That sounds so funny!!}

This takes me back to when I had an idea and a dream and a camera...

The Wedding Cake Room Charleston, Sc

2010-02-02T18:31:00.000-08:00

{I borrowed this post from www.theweddingstudios.com}

Am I allowed to have a favorite wedding studio room?

I spent today in Charleston at the studio working on the wedding cake room. I have to be very honest with you. This is my favorite room {EVER} of all the rooms at the Wedding Studios! I can’t say why. It might be the sweet little size or the view (gorgeous Broad St) or maybe it’s the feel I tried to give it (a sweet 1950’s vibe). I don’t know what it is, but I ADORE this room, and the good news is I have found the *perfect* Charleston cake artist that I adore as well! I can’t tell you anything more about her just yet as she is launching her new website SOON, and we want it to be a surprise, but I know you will love her too!
In the mean time check out her adorable “kitchen” where she will meet with Charleston Brides and hold cake tastings. I have a few more touches to add (like chairs!) but the only thing missing is cake!!

What says 1950’s more than pink silk flowers?

I told you I liked this room!!!

Savannah Wedding Hair & Makeup Artist

2010-02-02T02:59:00.001-08:00

(I borrowed this post from www.theweddingstudios.com)

There’s NOTHING worse (ok there’s are a lot of things actually) but at the very moment that you want information, there’s nothing worse than a website that is down, but I promise you this one won’t be down long. We are completely re-branding Hair Comes the Bride for a new Fun look that reflects Jenny’s fun personality and I KNOW you will love it!! Here’s a peek for you. I promise to blog it when the site is live again, hopefully by this Thursday 2/4. In the mean time you can reach Jenny via email or cell 8 01.966.4859 with any of your Savannah wedding day hair and makeup needs!

Carrie's most creative cake yet {in my opinon!} Savannah, GA wedding cake artist

2010-02-01T10:00:00.000-08:00

Saturday we were invited to Carrie & Bryan's new (OLD) house for a painting party. Bryan's birthday was last week so Carrie very smartly threw party where the favors were paint rags. We've never been to a painting party and other than knowing we needed to be dressed ready to help, we had no idea really what to expect, how many people would be there, etc. Well, it was SO MUCH FUN. Emma and I really got into it. Mac watched cartoons with the other kids (that's my boy!) and well Toby takes anything he does very seriously and worked on trim like it was his job.

Check out this cake Carrie made. I mean REALLY???!!!! the brush bristles were.... SPAGHETTI NOODLES! she is one of the sweetest, kindest, (tiniest), most talented people you will ever have the pleasure of knowing!

When explaining the rain drops Carrie says one should never ask a 4 year old to hold an umbrella over a cake. I concur.

Henry was craking me up on Carrie's back. He doesn't even try to help by hanging on.

I'm not even afraid of Bryan... (anymore) ;) And Jackson is just perfection!

How much do you LOVE my cap? Toby went digging for an old (and apparently nasty) cap he could paint in and found this THING. Well, you know I just had to wear it. ughhhh!!!!!!
I don't know if she's found it yet, but I left it hanging in one of the closet's for Carrie. Just a little house warming gift.

Toby and "Henny" just hanging out.

Thank ya'll so much for sharing such a fun day with us. We can't wait to see the rest of the transformation!!

Dutch Island Savannah, Ga Home

2010-01-30T11:59:00.000-08:00

I was asked to photograph this Gorgeous home on Dutch Island this week for my very first client in Savannah. I decided to play more than photographer for this special client that is really now a friend and created a blog and twitter for the home as well. Check them out and let's get this home sold!

The house is listed with Judy McDougal of ReMax Savannah

More photos coming next week of the Marsh view.

Here are a few pics of the inside of the Charleston Wedding Studio. I am working on one room at a time, and this one is about 90% complete. I just need to hang a few more photos and get a couple more chairs! Emma was a HUGE help, but I think I wore her out!

Lisa & Nick's Savannah, Ga engagement session

2009-12-29T15:57:00.001-08:00

I don't even know how, in the space of this blog post, I am supposed to describe how very, very special this bride is to me (and I ADORE nick too of course)! I met Lisa at open house in 2005 when she was Emma's 1st grade teacher. It was Lisa's first year teaching and we both acted "grown up" for a few weeks before getting real and being ourselves. {Ourselves being total nutballs, of course!} I spent nearly every day (seriously, I did) in that portable with Lisa and that fun group of first graders. We pulled teeth, went on field trips, checked heads for liceand laughed SO much. Lisa became more than just my child's teacher that year. I count her among my very best friends and I am so very thankful for her and Nick! (they began dating that year too, what a great year, Lis!!) When Nick proposed to Lisa I crossed my fingers, toes and eyes hoping they would pick a date that I had available, and after a little switcharooing, THEY DID! ;)

I can't do a lot of things in this world, but I can pick up my camera and look through it and see happiness, so that is my wedding gift to Lisa and Nick. And forever and ever and ever I will give them the gift of photography as long as my eyes can see. Love you both!

The surprise everyone already knows!! The Charleston Wedding Studio

2009-12-29T05:12:00.000-08:00

{{Thank you so much Nicole and Vance for participating in my wedding shoot in Charleston on Sunday and Thank you Heidi and Natalie for the AMAZING bouquet!}}

Here it is, my BIG announcement. HA! If you've been within 6 inches of me in the past 6 weeks or so I have told you, so it's not news to many but I will spill it anyhow!

As of 1/1/10 I will be opening another Wedding Studio in Charleston! South Carolina that is. I won't go into all of the reasons, because there really aren't a ton. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Savannah Wedding Studio! I love how these (non-exclusive mind you) businesses came together in one location and offered their amazing services to Brides getting married in Savannah, Hilton Head and Tybee Island. We share rent, advertising, ideas, passion, laughs and from this friendships were forged that I now count as some of my best! Watching these businesses grow became such a passion for me. Anyone that knows me and has spent time with me or who has been to the studio knows that. At the ripe old age of 32 I feel like the grandmother willow of the wedding studio. Do they need photos for their website, DONE, need a new website, I got that! I don't' say these things to boast, I just freaking LOVE these people and what the studio stands for! I hope and pray they feel the same. ahh heck I know they do! ;)

So back to me and a day trip to Charleston to shoot Tatiana and Joey's engagements. I thought, oh now wouldn't it be nice to have a Charleston Wedding Studio. Well dangit, look where that got me! ;)

I know there are wedding professionals in Charleston that are working so hard to get ahead, they may be working a full or part time jonin addition to running a wedding business. They spend nights emailing brides and meeting at starbucks or wedding venues to meet with potential clients. It wasn't too long ago I was meeting all of my brides and grooms right in my den! (Remember that, Katie?) I want to find those wedding professionals! They are talented, hardworking and just as passionate as we are and it's time Charleston knew it! I want to share this AMAZING space at 91 Broad St in Charleston and open new doors for them. I was once given a sofa at a frame store (crying now) on which to meet my brides and that feeling of pride took my business to a whole new level. Now there's a fushia sofa at 91 broad (and tons of other seating) waiting on a team of dynamic professionals that have that same drive!

I am beyond corny today, aren't I? I am just so darn excited. I want to thank EVERYONE who has made this possible. Every bride, groom, vendor and friend. I especially want to thank my best friend and husband. When I called him with this INSANE idea he scared the red out of my hair and responded with, something along the lines of "that's a great idea". I won't lie to you, my ideas aren't typically "great"! Even I admit that! ;)

So there you have it, my secret little suprise that everyone knew! I hope you'll share my enthusiasm for the Charleston Wedding Studio!

Here are some FAQ's I've received.

Are you moving? HECK NO!
Why Charleston? Have you been there? really? sighhhh....
Will you be shooting weddings in Charleston? yes, a few! Hunter will shoot there too! Thanks, Hunter!!
Are you crazy? YEP!
Will there be changes to the website? yes and no. Over the next few days, beginning immediately, you will notice a change in links and logos. The new Charleston Wedding Studio site will launch within 48 hours. There will be a new blog soon for the wedding studios. change is good

The Winners!!! The V's!

2009-12-23T12:45:00.001-08:00

Today Em and I met up with the winners of my mini session, the Vittorio's, at Forsyth Park. They drove from Florida for their session and I am so tickled they did. We've been twitter friends for some time now, and it was so great to finally meet!!

The session was so much fun and we took a TON of pictures!! Here are a few that stood out to me.

It was SO great to meet y'all! I hope we can hang out again soon!

Kacie & Stephen's Savannah, Ga engagement session

2009-12-16T02:58:00.000-08:00

Yesterday the rain FINALLY let up in Savannah! I am so glad too because I had portraits scheduled at Forsyth and for once in quite a while they weren't cancelled! I won't show Ryder's baby session here just yet, because I know Jenny will want to surprise her family with Christmas presents, but I can show you my adorable engagement session with Kacie and Stephen! They are getting married next September and it was the perfect day for pictures. Forsyth was the image of FALL in Savannah even though it's Christmastime and 80 degress! You gotta love living in the deep south!

I am so happy I got to hug a soldier yesterday (and a very sweet bride!).

Gloria & Kevin's Mansion on Forsyth Park Wedding Savannah, Ga

2009-12-14T06:50:00.000-08:00

Saturday was a wet, wet day for a wedding. But the rain didn't dampen the spirits at the Mansion! Gloria and Kevin were married in the courtyard to a soundtrack of raindrops, laughter and beautiful songs sung by a dear friend.
Gloria & Kevin, I am so happy I was there to witness your wedding story. Thank you for trusting me! And thank you Kevin for SMILING! ;)

I have so many favorites!!!

These group shots of the guys crack me up! Especially Zachary and Kevin's faces in the third one.

This is kevin's brother, and I LOVED his cap, but I probably shouldn't have told him looked like JJ from good times. He didn't seem to mind though!

Gloria's boys!! Aren't they handsome? And so sweet too!

SEEEEEE???? He's smiling! I WIN!!!! ;)

Gloria is so beautiful. She was such a calm, sweet bride!

the flowers are by kiwi fleur in savannah!

The above is seriously one of my favorite images ever!

the cake is by custom cakes of savannah!

Nobody make any sudden moves! Kevin is SMILING again! I caught him! tee-hee! I love it!

The first family

2009-12-09T03:56:00.000-08:00

I couldn't resist that title! I've told the story before but I met my GA BFF in Feb 05 at the Savannah Wedding Expo and then photographed her wedding that June, all things have since come from this girl, I swear. Some of my favorite brides, my first little retail location, Collin and Emie, etc etc. She is so precious to me and so is her family. This session was soooooo much fun! I laughed until I hurt, truly. It was nearly impossible for me to choose some to blog from the OVER 800 images that we got. (REDICULOUS!) There are more here of Emily than of Collin, but please don't think I have a favorite Ewaldsen kid. Colin was just, ummmm, making some interesting faces and gestures, so I will save those for our consumption. (HYS-TERICAL!)

here we go!

Love yall!

Jamie & Jason's Savannah, Ga Portraits

2009-12-06T17:03:00.000-08:00

Today I was finally able to meet someone I felt like I have known for years! Jamie and Toby worked together for almost 5 years and Jamie has kept up with my blog for sometime, so it was so great to meet her and Jason and get some fun portraits downtown!

can't get enough of those boots!!

Jason checking the score! The redskins were in overtime! What a guy to leave his game for pics. Jamie was just putting on with the face she was making, these two are so in love!

I won't share your "surprise" pics here, I'll let you two once you get your dvd!! ;)!

Haley & Ross' engagement session downtown Savannah, Georgia

2009-12-05T06:15:00.000-08:00

yayayayayayay! I am so excited to blog these pics from yesterday. This is Haley and Ross, Ross is BFF to John Paul who is hubby to my GA BFF, Leeanne, so by way of osmosis, they are like our BFF's once removed! (and we both have amercian eskimos, so really it's FATE!). We met up on Jones st just before the rain came, and had so much fun shooting these pics. We were a bit anxious to look at the pics so we all (the Ewaldesen's included) met up for dinner and then headed back to my house to peek at the pics! We laughed SO hard looking through all of them (and wow were there a TON to look at). Haley, here are just a few of my faves.... I can't wait to see your Bleu Belle gown and take your bridals in Charleston!!!

Ross had some funny and interesting interpretations of my posing suggestions.

This series of pics, CRACKS ME UP!! I put my glasses on Haley and told her to just act like a silly school girl, well she ran with it! There were a ton more, but here are some cute ones. The first one kills me!

below I told Ross, act like you are so over it. I love it!

Still spots available! Savannah, GA portrait photographer

2009-11-30T18:26:00.000-08:00

This evening I met up with this awesome couple for a mini engagement session of sorts. It was really a great chance for us to get to know one another before their wedding at the Mansion and see how they fare in front the camera, and I will tell you they were just fine. Kevin was hysterical and I can't wait till next weekend to tease him just a little more.

Here are a few shots that jumped out at me!

This other handsome guy is, Zachary, Gloria's son!

See ya'll soon and GO RAVENS!!! tee-hee!

So I shared the bride with you yesterday, well today I give you the two special men in her life. Mike and Ashton looked super handsome and Ashton was SO proud of his tie!!! Ashton has his Daddy's heart and it's no wonder Stacy fell in love with both of them! Just check out Ashton's reaction below when Stacy arrived. There wasn't a dry eye in sight! Did you see their special family portraits last month?? I LOVE this family of three!

Soon, very soon I will blog the ceremony. SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!

2009-11-22T09:11:00.000-08:00

Stacy and Mike were married in the MOST BEAUTIFUL ceremony at Tom Triplett Park in Pooler yesterday. I cannot wait to share a ton of pics here with you, but alas, I have another beautiful wedding today, so I am going to give you a teaser of Stacy's bridal portraits. I can't get over how gorgeous she was. What a perfect fall wedding they had! I am tickled to have been a part of it!

A big thanks to the amazing girls @ A to Zinnias for the flowers. You completely transformed a simple park pavilion into the most breathtaking ceremony and reception site!

Much more about this very special couple and their wedding to come soon I promise. I can't wait to brag on my (and stacy's) amazing group of friends that pulled it off!

yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Emma bought herself a mini bundt cake, how cute is that? Be sure to call 24 hours in advance to place your orders!

I have TONS of goodies from todays shoot that I am selling for Carrie if you are interested, email me!

Jennifer & Brett's Hilton Head Island, SC Wedding

2009-11-17T08:24:00.000-08:00

This past Saturday Hunter photographed Jennifer & Brett's BEAUTIFUL Hilton Head Island Wedding ceremony at St. Gregory the great. I absolutely love getting a dvd of images from Hunter, I've said it before, but it's like unwrapping a gift. I had met Jennifer, but not Brett, so it was so fun to see him and see how he interacted with Jennifer in the images. It's so clear how much they love one another. Below are just a few of the images that stood out to me. Congratulations to you both as you begin your life together!

t (for Hunter!)

the reception was held at windows on the waterway.

My favorite Veteran

2009-11-11T03:47:00.000-08:00

My Grandpa, John Marshall Little, is not only one of the sweetest people I have ever known he is my hero! In 1941 when he was only 16 years old he lied about his age so that he could enter the Navy to fight in WWII and went on to survive a kamikaze attack while stationed on the USS Wilson!! This survivor and tens of thousands of others deserve our thanks today and every day.
Grandpa Marshall, today I honor you and your comrades. Thank you for your Service, your Sacrifice and your Courage. I love you so much!

weesie gayle

You can learn more about his service here.

The shot above was from his trip to the the WWII memorial in DC he is with Joe Bonner U.S. Congressman from Alabama

These pics are from last year
The ones below are from the Little family reunion this October

Soon I will blog the ceremony!

Cora & Charlotte (and mommy & daddy too) Savannah, Ga Portrait Photographer

2009-11-08T16:48:00.001-08:00

Today was the PERFECT day for family portraits at Wormsloe Plantation! I met up with Cate and Toby and their {PRECIOUS} girls at noon and we had so much fun getting these, and several hundred more, pics. You may recognize Cate as Natalie's beautiful (and TALL!) red headed sister! I adore this family and consider it an honor to be their photographer and friend!

I would love to say here are a few of my faves, but who am I kidding? A few?

An Ashley and Travis teaser (well really just Ashley!)

2009-11-08T04:17:00.000-08:00

Ashley and Travis were married last night and I CAN'T WAIT to blog a ton of pics for you to see, but until I then (super busy day ahead!) I will leave you with a few teasers of Ashley! We did a Bridal session of sorts yesterday near the Mulberry Inn where she and her bridesmaids got ready. sighhhhhh......

2009-11-06T04:53:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing the winner of the Portrait session I donated to the CHS' recent fundraiser. The Keber's invited me into their lovely historic Savannah home where we snapped a few photos before heading off to the nearby squares for some fun pics. Here are a few that stood out to me.
Thank you for your generous contribution to the Coastal Heritage Society!

Mac played his heart out Saturday for his first homecoming game. The didn't win, and it was his first lost, but he is a champion to us! We love you, Mac the truck!!

Cameron & George's Engagements

2009-10-29T15:22:00.000-07:00

Today I met up with Cameron and George downtown to shoot their engagement portraits. They are getting married NEXT MONTH and I can't wait! I have to tell on them, they were so nervous when we started shooting, but quickly warmed up the camera! I can't wait till 11.22.09!!! See you two VERY soon!

Faith & Shaun's Savannah, Ga Wedding

2009-10-29T14:55:00.001-07:00

If you follow me on twitter you may have noticed I updated... oh, about 1000 times on Sunday. I was on my way to Skidaway Island to meet up with Faith and her bridesmaids, but was stopped in traffic at the Skidaway island bridge. Seems the bridge was STUCK! I've dealt with traffic before and other mishaps that kept me (temporarily) from my brides, but this was very different. This was a STUCK draw bridge, and this was Teresa panicking a bit. The police were telling everyone it would be several hours before the bridge would be fixed, and while many just turned back towards Savannah, I stayed, and I PRAYED! Just over an hour into my wait I decided I would head back to Whitefield Chapel at Bethesda and wait on Faith (YES that's her name!! ;)) with Shaun who also arrived at the chapel. All the prayers worked because they fixed that bridge, and Faith and her family and guests that were also on the island were able to arrive only about 45 minutes past the ceremony start time, instead of 4 hours! Can you imagine everyone's relief? You know I was SOOOOOO happy to still have plenty of daylight too! ;)
The ceremony was so beautiful and this sweet couple (who had to change from their original November date because Shaun is being deployed next month), both teared up. I am so thankful I was there to share in there wedding. I was so worried that darn bridge wouldn't budge, but everything worked out just fine!

Carrie made the cakes!!! I love that girl AND her cakes!

Heather & Mike's Savannah Wedding

2009-10-28T11:13:00.000-07:00

On Saturday while I was with Mandy and Frank, my thoughts were also with Heather and Mike who were married at the Cathedral! Hunter photographed their wedding and I am having SO much fun sorting through the pics! I had {{almost}} forgotten what a cute couple they are, but the moment I saw all of the hundreds (ok thousands) of images of them smooching and smiling at one another I was reminded!! ;) Congratulations you two!!

Here are just some of the images that jumped out at me!

t (for Hunter)

Mandy & Frank's Rose Hill Plantation Wedding

2009-10-26T08:15:00.000-07:00

Saturday was one of those weddings that I was REALLY looking forward to. I have only known Mandy and Frank since booking their wedding last year, but reeeaaally got to know them at Janel and Gabe's wedding this Summer and I knew right away that their wedding would be FUN! Mandy is so sweet and Frank is just too much fun, so together they make such a perfect pair!

When I arrived at the Rose Hill Plantation House I literally gasped! It was the PERFECT fall day for an outdoor wedding and I am so honored that I was there to capture so many images for this special couple!

Here are just a handful....

Poor Bentley had a little run-in with a car the day before the wedding, so he had to come with mommy and daddy!! ;(

Her jewelry was a gift from Frank

Mandy turned her matching necklace (from bleu belle bridal in savannah) into her hair piece! I love it!

yayyyy Janel and Gabe!!!

That's all for now kiddos!!

Allison & Anthony's Savannah, Ga engagement session

2009-10-24T10:02:00.000-07:00

Today was the perfect day for Allison and Anthony's engagements! We met up on Jones st (I'm loving it there, can you tell?) and had a lot of fun getting to know one another! I can't wait till their June 2010 wedding. Here are just a few I wanted to share with you!

can you tell this was my fave?

Cassie & Shaun's Engagements

2009-10-23T13:56:00.000-07:00

I met this {{gorgeous}} couple today just moments before their engagement session. I opened the door to the studio and Cassie said, "Hi, I'm Cassie" to which I replied,.... "IT'S TERESA!!" I meant to say something like "Hi Cassie IT'S good to meet you", or "Hi, my name is TERESA", but just IT'S TERESA came out, so at least she knows how random I am right from the start, right??

We were going to head right down to the square closest to the studio, but it appeared that Robert Redford had the same idea, as the film crew for the conspirator was setting up, so we parked on Jones St and just walked around. Here's a peak at what we got! I can't wait till next August!!

They are too flippin cute!!!

Kim & Derek's engagements

2009-10-22T04:37:00.000-07:00

I have a soft spot for this couple already! Kim and I have become facebook buddies and have a lot in common, or at least I like to think we do! ;) Kim is quite the runner AND photographer! I don't have the running thing down quite yet, and don't think I will EVER be in Kim's league!
Her boys are as cute as it gets and I can't wait till the wedding to get them all in front of my camera again!

I love a multi-purpose photo-session! ;)

Kim & Derek and boys! part 1

2009-10-21T19:07:00.001-07:00

I was going to wait until tomorrow to share these, but who am I kidding?? I just had to share a few, so here is part one of this precious, FUN, family of four!!

my favorite of the fam!

Tatiana & Joey's Engagements Charleston, SC

2009-10-20T19:02:00.000-07:00

Today was soooooo much fun for me! I spent the day in charleston shopping, eating and just playing all by my lonesome and I LOVED it! I was there to meet up with Tatiana and Joey for their engagement session and actually bumped into Tat on King street a couple of hours before our session. You may recognize Tatiana from her sister Natalia's wedding pics from this year! I can't even begin to tell you how much it means to me when a family comes back to me to shoot another wedding, I just feel so bad for Dad!! 2 weddings in 1 year!!! ;)

I can't wait till next Spring to see this family again! I hope you enjoy a peak at their sweet engagement session!

We met up in Battery Park. Tat and Joey bring Ella here often and it's the spot where Joey proposed!!

Stacy & Mike and Ashton!!!

2009-10-18T17:29:00.000-07:00

Ok I am not going to write something in this spot right here, because I know Stacy has hit the refresh button on her computer 8,643 times since getting back from Tybee earlier, so why don't I just skip to the pics???
;)

Meet Ava!

2009-10-08T16:53:00.001-07:00

Today I had the pleasure of meeting up with Miss Ava at her home for a few pics! Ava and I go wayyyyy back! I photographed her mommy and Daddy's wedding in 2007 and adore them! You first met this sweet baby last November when she debuted on the blog after our mini session at Forsyth Park.
Well, here she is at 1 year!!!

The Fountain at Forsyth Park Savannah, Georgia

2009-10-07T18:14:00.000-07:00

Last week I arrived a few minutes early for my session with little miss Avaliegh, and just like I do before every session at Forsyth I snapped a few pics of the fountain. This spot is my favorite in all of Savannah! No wonder hundreds of couples get married right here every year!! Just look......

yes that's a rainbow!!!

I have photographed hundreds of babies and brides (and much more) in this spot, but it truly never gets old. It's magical, romantic and timeless all in one. And this time of year is the best because of the weather oh and the squirrels scampering around, and the acorns, watch out! I've been hit by a few! Can you tell I REALLY like this park???

Buffy & Will are MARRIED!

2009-10-06T09:41:00.000-07:00

Saturday was such a beautiful day for a wedding! Buffy and Will along with Buffy's Dad and his friend, Cora, came to Savannah for Buffy and Will's super simple but super romantic wedding ceremony at the Mansion on Forysth Park. Reverand Schulte officiated over the nuptials and I think he would agree these two are made for one another!
I was only with this fun pair for an hour, but we took over 700 images!!! Here are just a few of my faves!

Congratulations you two! Please come back to Savannah soon to see me!!

ANOTHER baby!!!!!

2009-10-04T08:56:00.000-07:00

Yesterday before my wedding, I got a visit from April and Andy (married spring 2007!) and baby Emmanuel!! Seriously I don't think I have ever seen a baby that looked so much like his mommy AND his daddy! You know I had to grab some pics!!!

Christi & Jeremy's Hilton Head Island, SC wedding

2009-10-01T15:39:00.000-07:00

This past Saturday Hunter photographed Christi and Jeremy's wedding on Sea Pines, and I am embarrassed to say I am just now getting to sorting through the THOUSANDS of images. Hunters never ceases to amaze me! This might just be my favorite wedding she has shot to date! Although I had spoken with and emailed Christi for a while now, we hadn't met so I was so excited to get to look at her wedding images. She was a beautiful bride, and just look at Jeremy's reaction when he sees her! Congratulations you two, your dvd is on it's way to Canada!!

t (for Hunter!)

Now for the beautiful beach ceremony...

I love this shot of her beach feet!

I wish I had more time, because there are hundreds more I want to share!!!

Little Miss Avaleigh!

2009-10-01T13:47:00.000-07:00

Today was very special for me! I met up with little miss Avaleigh and her mommy at Forsyth Park in Savannah for some camera time! Jacinda and Josh were married in the exact same spot in 2007!! You know I love me some brides and their babies!! ;)

Thank you Jacinda for allowing me to spend a little time with Avaleigh, she is PRECIOUS!

Sarah and Jeff are married!!!

2009-09-21T10:22:00.000-07:00

I cannot believe I almost left for vaca and didn't blog these pics!! There aren't words to describe the beauty that is Crested Butte or the love that is shared between Sarah and Jeff, so I will *try* to let the photos speak for themselves. We are already planning our return trip in early spring with the kids!!

watching the weather (which literally changed every 5 minutes!)

Sarah asked her mom and Best friend, Tracy to loan her pearls, but little did she know, Jeff had her some waiting!!!

Is this not the most amazing spot for a wedding!!!

Just another note about the ceremony site. I think this is where they make pine-sol. really! When I stepped out of the car, It was like every Christmas memory I've ever had came flooding back to me. It was the freshest pine scent ever. I wanted to stay there and just keep inhaling it.

There's not enough time left in the day to share all of the fun and silly pics we took with friends and family so I am going to skip to the beautiful pics of this sweet couple!

I miss you two already and can't wait to get back to Crested Butte!!!
