What a character! Garcia is apparently the class clown and absolutely loves getting pictures done of himself. We started at Toccoa Falls, then moved on to the train station for some “nerdy” pictures. It was definitely a funny session. Garcia I hope your senior year is awesome! Keep making people laugh.
On the same trip we took down to do Megan and Curtis engagement session, we met up with our awesome friends Stephanie and Eric! They are students at Toccoa Falls College and have been gone all summer. Pretty much we needed an “Eric & Stephanie” fix. We met up for dinner and games at Chuck E cheese!! Yes, I still LOVE that place! After dinner we went to Forsyth Park to take some lovey dovey pictures of our sweet friends. I just love these two. I will be so sad when they graduate in May. Well, happy for them and sad because who knows when we will see each other again. Here are just a few from our fun evening!
Love, oh sweet Love! Coley and Jon’s wedding was not only beautiful in appearance, but even more beautiful with all of the love that was invested by all who participated. Jon and Coley honored their family members that weren’t able to be there for their special day with memorial candles, picture, and bouquet. Every detail of this wedding had meaning; even down to the color. Coley chose the color peach because it was her grandmother’s favorite color. During the ceremony Coley surprised Jon by singing to him after they lit the Unity candle. She sang “Let it be Me”. I had never heard that song until that moment, and it was beautiful. The love and passion that these two have for each other is priceless and absolutely beautiful. Congratulations Jon and Coley!
I have to take a moment and commend all of the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen for stepping up after the wedding and helping the family clean up. I’ve been to many weddings and I have to say you guys did a great job being there for both the couple and their families. Great job!
Their reception was held at the newly built Gate Cottage on the Campus of Toccoa Falls College. This new building is BEAUTIFUL!!! Absolutely perfect for a wedding reception.
All the beautiful floral arrangements were made my Megan McAvoy with K&M Handcrafts (visit their facebook fan page).
The amazing and beautiful cakes were made by Elizabeth from EB Cakes! Great job as always Elizabeth!
After Jon and Coley left the reception, we were able to meet back up with this beautiful couple to do some more fun and intimate pictures. I just LOVE it when the bride and groom want to do pictures after the reception. There is no rush to get anywhere. They feel so much more relaxed and are able to enjoy each other while I capture every second of it!

2009 has come and gone, but not without leaving some great memories to carry along with me. It was a very busy year with a lot of new experiences. I wanted to post a few pictures of what 2009 brought to the table, but it was so hard to narrow down to just a few. So here is my MEGA blog of the year and even still there are so many more I would love to post. Here are some of my personal favorites captured in 2009. Hope you enjoy! And don’t be afraid to leave some feedback at the end of this entry!
2009 was great and I am looking forward to an amazing 2010!!!
Jon and Margaret-Ann had a very eventful wedding day. They got married about a year ago in Atlanta, on the day of all the tornados. As you can imagine, the weather was NOT picture perfect. The two of them told me story after story about different things that happened to them on their wedding day. Pictures on the other hand did not happen. At least not as many as they would have liked. Margaret-Ann found out about us through a co-worker, and decided that they would like to recapture what they missed on their wedding day by doing an “After Session.” We started off at Toccoa Falls where Margaret-Ann went to college and ventured to several different locations in the area. Congratulations on making it 1 year. May God bless you both with many more!
Many have asked me what does a “Trash the Dress” session mean. Well I am going to give you the definition that I found on Google. “Trash the dress refers to photography that contrasts elegant clothing with an environment in which it is out of place.” So pretty much NOT your traditional bridal portraits! Before Courtney and Brad’s wedding back in September, I asked Courtney if she wanted to do a Bridal session before the wedding. She said no, but she would rather do some “Trash the Dress” (TTD) pictures after the wedding. Yay!!! I was so excited and couldn’t wait to do this session with the two of them. We visited several areas in the Stephens county area including Panther Creek, Toccoa Airport, Henderson Falls park, and Toccoa Falls. We had an absolute blast during this session. Thank you Brad and Courtney for such a fun session!
Courtney was a bride that I have been dreaming about! One that would be willing to get into water with her wedding dress on! If it were summer I am sure we would have done a lot more and probably gotten even more wet. However, it was the beginning of November and the water was FREEZING!!! Way to go Courtney!!

My sweet sister-in-law, Heather just got married to the man of her dreams, Matt. We celebrated with them on September 26. The ceremony was to take place at Toccoa Falls and the reception at North GA Tech Curahee Campus. Unfortunately it was raining and so the ceremony was moved to the Curahee Campus as well. Dispite the nasty weather and the change in venue, the wedding was beautiful and the couple had a great time. My little angel, Jasmine, was asked to be the flower girl. And if I may, she is the prettiest flower girl that I have EVER seen! No worries I will be posting a whole other blog entry for her. Congratulations to you both. We love you!!
We met Brandon and Laura about 2 years ago when we were asked to photograph their wedding. Now we have the honor of being a part of another new and exciting adventure with them–The road to parenthood! We started the shoot at their home, then headed to Toccoa Falls, and ended at a nearby field. I hope to meet up with them again for some fun newborn pictures! Congratulations Brandon and Laura!
