Isaiah and Rachel Haynie

Isaiah and Rachel are so gorgeous together that it shouldn't be allowed...I'm serious. They are Brandon's and my dear friends and we were honored to get to be a part of their big day! Rachel is the daughter of Dr. Larry Greene...the pastor of River Cities Community Church...the church where I have grown up and the place where I now work full time as the Children's Director...so of course I have a special place in my heart for this family!

Y'all know that I'm a sucker for a groom who is crazy about his bride...and Isaiah was the perfect example of this! All you have to do is mention her name and he giggles like a little girl. It's precious. Their wedding was gorgeous! Black and gold with lights and crystals everywhere...it was a winter wedding to remember! Not only was it beautiful...but it was a blast! :) This post is my longest one yet...but when you see the pics you'll know why. :) I'll probably throw in a few captions, too.

The rings are hanging on the "Wish Tree" they used this instead of a traditional guest book. The guests wrote wishes to them on little cards and then hung them on the tree.

Rebekah is Rachel's twin sister and quite the little wedding planner. :) She was such a big help to Rachel and has already been a big help to me! And I've only been engaged for 2 weeks!

The youngest and most precious guest...Jonathan Duncan (son of RC3 Associate Pastor Scott and his wife Jennifer) :)These next few pictures are the attempts to take a good picture of Isaiah, Rachel, and their three nephews...the boys didn't want to take a picture...hilarious!
Isaiah LOVES to hunt...almost as much as he loves Rachel...so his groom's cake was PERFECT! And the stump is real...Sweet Caroline...I love this one...so precious! Rachel and her daddy.
Congrats Zeke and Cheech! I'm so happy for you both! You deserve all the happiness in the world and I'm so thankful that God has brought you two together. I pray that He will bless you with a long lifetime of happiness together! Love you both!

I had to add this picture in...check out that handsome groomsman! :) I think I'll keep him.

Mason & Maddie

Mason and Maddie are so cute....They have been dating for a few years and now they're seniors! Mason's momma (Vicki) is one of my dearest friends and Mason and his family (which includes sweet, precious Maddie) are very special to me. So....it was an honor to get to take their senior pictures. We took a lot of them individually and then we took some of them together. They are such great kids and their pics are adorable. :)

Winter Wedding

Jason and Ashley got married on a COLD and SNOWY Saturday with NO power at the church! It was probably my biggest challenge thus far as a photographer. We got creative and even took pictures OUTSIDE. Yes...we were crazy...but the pictures turned out great. Ashley was so laid back about the power situation and was just excited to be married already! She is such a beautiful and sweet girl and she looked stunning on her wedding day! I hope you guys enjoy your preview! The precious ring bearer fell smack asleep during the ceremony! How cute is that?? Precious!

Congrats and best wishes to you both! Keep loving each other and loving Jesus! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your big day!
