beth + kreg ... take two











 This sweet couple holds such a special place in my heart 1. because I'm the sister-in-law to Kreg 2. because I'm best friends with Beth (my soon to be sister-in-law... We're not sure if it really works like that but I'm calling her that anyway). and 3. because they both are just awesome in so many ways.  I have been friends with Beth since elementary school and we were roommates at Troy University. This is where Skot and I had the FABULOUS idea that these two should date. The rest is history after that pretty much. They have been head over heals for each other ever since! I love them both so much individually and even more as a couple! I am so excited about their soon-to-be marriage. Their wedding is just 54 days away!!! Yay!!! 

So on why its called "take two" ... I took some "mock" engagement pictures of them the day after they got engaged last September. They were sweet enough to be my guinea pigs because that was the first "shoot" I ever did. A few of those pictures turned out O.K. but honestly I hardly knew a thing about DSLR cameras ha. I shot all the pictures in manual mode and it was definitely a learning experience.... I feel like I know a whole of a heck a lot more about my camera now (a year later) and I asked them if I could please give them better and official engagement pictures. They happily agreed and I am much more pleased with the round two... I hope they will be too :-)  

Congrats and I love y'all so much!!!!

amy + andy = married

 











I had this wonderful opportunity to take a few pictures of my sweet friend Amy on her wedding day. Our friend Phillip Crum was the main photographer for the event and he was nice enough to let me tag along for part of the day. You can check out his amazing work here.  Amy was such a GORGEOUS bride! Their wedding day was beautiful and unique. It fit their personalities just perfectly. The venue was  Doe River Gorge, a place that holds a special place in their hearts. At their country-picnic themed reception, there was line dancing, apple pie, and coke in a bottle. It was definitely one of my favorite weddinsg I have been too! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Wooten! Y'all are great!
