Mark and Denise - The Chapel on McEver

When Denise contacted me about photography for her intimate wedding day, it happened to be one of the only Saturdays open on my calendar. Much like everything revolving around her wedding, God was lining things up and orchestrating her day perfectly. We chatted on the phone like old friends about what she desired and how God had been at work putting this special day together. She shared how finding the perfect dress seemed effortless (you know, being 6’3 can really give you some limitations on purchasing clothing) and how the 3rd dress off the rack fit beautifully. And, might I add, that she looked stunning in it!

It was a beautiful day blending two families into one. Mark, Denise and their children all gathered together and shared in this special day. It was such a sweet and intimate ceremony with only their children and parents by their side. Oh, and of course, their amazing friends, Lance and Kate who have been incredible prayer partners and encouragers.. It always amazes me to see such sweet friendships and hear such positive things about how one prayer partner/friend can really change your life.

We ended the evening in the vineyards at Chateau Elan where the grape vines made a perfect backdrop for the newlywed couple.

Gainesville, Georgia Fresh 48 Hospital Session

When I was asked by another local (Buford, Georgia) photographer if I would be willing to take some photos of her new baby at the hospital, I was thrilled. You see when another photographer thinks that your work is good enough for their family, it speaks volumes. Of course I knew mom was a beauty and I’m a sucker for the little “fresh" babies so I couldn't wait for the day to come.

This little guy did not disappoint. He had the sweetest little chubby cheeks and the perfect round face. His skin was amazing and he looked so good in the blue wrap and cap that mom brought with her.

I loved seeing him in the little white t-shirt and hat that the Northeast Georgia Medical Center supplied. (it has to be my favorite look because it really allows you to focus on the baby and all their newborn goodness)

Go ahead and enjoy a few of my favorites from his second day here.
