Dove Wedding Photography

I wanted to share an image from Sandi & Scott's wedding last weekend in Georgia. It was at the beautiful Carl House, and everything was wonderful. I loved how excited they both were to be getting married! I will sure more later when the images are finished processing, but for now, here is one of my favorites!

I posted an image right after Jennifer and Matt's wedding here, and now we are complete with their entire wedding. When I first arrived at the hotel in Peachtree City, GA, there were fire trucks everywhere, and everyone was standing outside of the hotel! When I finally got a hold of Jennifer, they had snuck back into the hotel and were finishing getting ready. I tried to sneak in after them, but was caught :( Luckily, the fire was nothing serious, and I finally made it up their hotel room. I was expecting Jennifer to be freaking out, but no, she was calm and ready to enjoy her day... and that is exactly what she did! Even though things were running behind because of the fire fiasco, she stayed calm and knew how to get things done! Their wedding at Fayetteville First Baptist was beautiful, and the had such a fun reception! I grew up with Matt, and it was so great to see his family again. My mom still has a picture of me, Matt, his brother Luke, and my sister Jessica all sitting on Santa's lap together! But enough about old photos, here's the ones you've been waiting for...


I love this super cute and super happy picture of Jennifer!



and a super happy Matt!






This is during a toast at the reception... everyone was either laughing or crying the whole time, it was one of the best toasts I have seen!

I love this moment between Jennifer and her Dad...

The DJ at their reception was Kevin Nichols from DKH Entertainment, and he did such a fabulous job. He kept things running smoothly and made sure everyone had a great time... this photograph attests to that!

Is this kid cute or what!!!

And at the end of the night, Jennifer and Matt rode away in a golf cart! For those of you who don't know, Peachtree City is filled with golf carts, and they even have special roads for them around the town.


Thanks for letting me be a part of your wedding, I had a wonderful time!

It has been over a week since I have posted, but for good reason! This past Saturday I drove down to my hometown of Athens, GA to attend my good friend Megan's bachelorette party. Megan is getting married this Friday and we are excited to be able to photograph her wedding! Tomorrow we will be doing a shoot of just her and Sean around Athens, and we have some fun things up our sleeves for it! Sunday I was able to hang out with my good friend Karri, who used to shoot with Dove. Karri was in China the past year, so it had been forever since I saw her. Then I was off to stay with my sister, Jessica, who just started her first year teaching elementary school. It was so crazy seeing her in her own classroom. She really loves what she does and you can totally tell! I hung out with my other sister, Ansley, last night. She is in her first year of college which is even crazier since I still remember the day she was born! And today I am off with my mom to the Georgia Aquarium, which I can't wait to see. In between all of this, I have been working as much as I can on my brand new MAC book! Here are a few photographs from my week so far... fyi, some of them are from a point and shoot.

Yeah, this is the only one I'm going to share of the Bachelorette party :)


This is Karri... we did a whole series in the middle of a coffee shop downtown. I love this image because it really shows what kind of town Athens is- Notice that no one is paying any attention to us, even while we're laughing hysterically and everyone is quietly studying. You could run around naked and I doubt anyone would notice...

Karri grabbed this one of me... I really like it :)


I have some more of my sister, but I haven't downloaded them yet. I'll share them when I return from the Aquarium!

This summer Peter and I headed down to Douglasville, Georgia for Whitney and Dustin's wedding. Whitney found us through my sister, Jessica, who was roommates with Whitney. It was great to finally meet her! And yes, it did get confusing at times when Jen would yell "Look at Whitney(me)! and they would look at the bride :) Whitney and Dustin had a very sweet wedding and then headed to the Douglasville Cultural Arts Center for their reception. Everything was so classic! Here are some of my favorites from throughout the day, starting with 2 fun mirror shots!




I love how Whitney's eyes just sparkle in this one! They are beautiful!
This is my favorite of the two of them together!

We had a great time being part of your day!
