Happy Anniversary!

Today is such a wonderful day...it's our ANNIVERSARY! Three years ago I was thrilled to marry the sweetest man alive and begin this wonderful adventure that we call life. He puts up with so many of my crazy ideas and dreams (ie. see below), and we both love to explore what this life has for us. It has been such a fun ride and I am so thankful for my loving and supportive hubby--I just pray that every girl is able to marry their best friend, too!

The old English song, "Daisy Bell", also called, "A Bicycle Built for Two", was a favorite when I was a little girl. So naturally I wanted to leave the church on a vintage Schwinn bicycle built for two!

The lovely Michelle made sure my train didn't catch...

Beau was a LOT more skeptical than I was and wasn't so sure we'd get moving...

But we prevailed and took off towards the road---corset strings flying and all! This is my favorite picture and it hangs proudly on our wall!

Inviting Chattanooga!

So... I wanted to share a little bit of blogger-love and give a shout out to Christen over at Inviting Chattanooga (http://www.invitingchattanooga.blogspot.com/) . Christen has a love for all things wedding-related and she LOVES to research ideas and concepts for your big day! What an awesome, and easy, way to check out all that Chattanooga has to offer for all of you Chatta-Brides (like my new word?)! Be sure to stop by and check out her articles.

Happy Monday!

New Designer Boxes!

I literally squealed with joy yesterday (and I'm not usually a big squealer) when I opened the front door and found our studio's newest addition waiting for me! Sometimes I have suspicion that Fedex delivery guy is secretly SANTA CLAUS! jk

So please say hello to the hottest new photo boxes out there! We customize your box from your big day and allow you to showcase your prints in uber beautiful style. The quality and design are out of this world and I just love that you will have a personalized designer box to keep your memories stored. Call the studio today to get yours!

Erica and Andrew

On June 28th Erica and Andrew tied the knot at UTC's Danforth Chapel. It was by far one of the sweetest and most intimate ceremonies I've seen. Their personalities matched one another so well and I really enjoyed watching as they solemnly pronounced their vows! Their afternoon reception was held at Chattanooga's Reflection Riding Arboretum (http://www.reflectionriding.org/). Erica was stunning in pearls and a empire waist wedding gown. I am so honored that they allowed me to capture such a monumental occasion!

Bridal Show!

What are you doing on July 13th?
Come visit us at our booth at the Premier Bride Bridal Show! We've been looking forward to this and are so excited to meet all of you amazing soon-to-be's! We will be having AMAZING drawings and information available so please drop in and say hi! I love meeting my blogstalkers. :)

Ok, Beau just reminded me of the time so it's off to bed...

AND THE WINNER IS...

Leave it to me to wait until 11:45 to announce our lucky winners!

We had such an incredible response with our Lovestory contest that about half way through I realized how much I hated trying to determine whether one lovestory was better than another. I would receive the stories throughout the day and they would never fail to make me smile, laugh or sigh with contentment. You guys are great writers!
So I decided that I would have to draw names from the box. AND to sweeten the deal I chose two couples instead of just one!

A HUGE congratulations to our hopeless romantics:

Lindsay Drake

AND

Lauren Harvey!

We will be in touch soon to arrange for your photoshoots. I am SO looking forward to them!

Baby Caden

Last week I met up with Amy and her husband Kyle for their son Caden's very first photo shoot! He was such a sweet little spirit, fully enjoying the opportunity to nap, cuddle and eat through it all. Thank you again Amy for contacting us, we are so excited to capture this next year of Caden's life, and beyond!
