LAUREN + STEVE ENGAGED!

Because baby Tuck is on the way (and therefore my limited bookings next year), I didn't have many opportunities this fall to shoot engagement sessions, which makes me a little sad because it's my favorite season to shoot engagements! Enter: Lauren and Steve. : ) We met up at Berry College for their session and goodness gracious! Fall must've known my camera was missing it dearly. : ) This day was particularly gorgeous -- clear, crisp air, colorful leaves and a gorgeous sun to boot. Throw in a cuddly couple (and their pups!), and I'm living my dream. Here are some of my favorites, y'all!

SO glad they wanted to add their pups, Buddy and Miller, into some of the shots. : )

MORGAN + DREW ENGAGED!

Give me a fun-loving, adorable couple and a double rainbow, and I'll give you some magic! I had SUCH a refreshing afternoon photographing Drew & Morgan and their sweet pup, Fischer, at Berry College. We had to dodge some rain showers, but it was nothing compared to witnessing the gorgeous rainbow it produced afterward. : ) Can't wait for their wedding in Athens next spring! This is when we got caught in some rain...! They were good sports. : )

THE COX FAMILY

Photographing young families is quickly becoming one of my favorite things to do. I met Addie Kate and her mama through photographing kiddos at the Rabbit's Nest of Rome last spring. I adored this little one's smile, and to my delight, she showed up full of 'em on the morning of our shoot! Witnessing the love in this sweet family made my heart grow a couple of sizes that day. Thank you, Cox family, for sharing your sweet one with me! Check out this adorable family, y'all, and Addie Kate's perfect little chunky legs and precious outfits! : )

LOVE this one so much! It really shows her sweet personality.

Look at those teeny-tiny espadrilles! LOVE!

Cute little ruffles on the tush!

MEGAN + ADAM - Berry College Wedding

I have lived in Rome for a little over a year now, and Megan + Adam's wedding is the first that I've actually shot IN Rome. Crazy eh?! I'm so glad they found me! I loved shooting at Berry College. It's a beautiful campus, and it's only a 10-minute drive from my house. : )

These two are WONDERFUL. One awesome thing about them is that they both share my unabashed love for the Avett Brothers. : ) Also, the wedding party wasn't afraid to have fun. Enter: superhero shirts and a Bridesmaids movie pose. You'll see what I'm talking about. ; )

Bride's dress: Jasmine Collection Bride's shoes: Mossimo Bridesmaids' dresses: Mori Lee Groom and groomsmen attire: Republic Tuxedo Hair: Salon 210 Florals: Bussey's Florist Planner: Kathy Bowen Ceremony music: Caroline Ennis Cake: Barbara DeFoor DJ: Mike Sounds & Associates Caterer: Kathy Bowen and family friends Invitations: Wedding Paper Divas Programs: bride & Kayla Holsomback, bride's sister-in-law Rings: Knights (engagement ring), Kay Jewelers (wedding bands)

Megan & Adam got married at the College Chapel, and the reception was held at Ford Dining Hall. Thank you SO much, y'all, for inviting me to share in your day. It was oh-so-memorable!

Searching Instagram for available unique hashtags - love it!

Gorgeous, Megan!

Yes... just...YES.

The ladies need an animation too. It was a HOT day, so they found a genius way to cool off. ; )

Deer! So close!

Loved their programs. Never seen it before!

These ladies were walking up to the ceremony, and I loved their reaction when they saw me taking their photo. So adorable.

VERY LARGE boutonnieres! ; )

LOVER OF LIGHT

It's no double rainbow, but it made me pause and smile while editing this morning. I took this at Berry College in late June while shooting a wedding. Happy Monday!
