Our friend Stephanie asked me to document her mother's private wedding on Saturday.
I enjoyed being a part of their day!
Robert & Stephanie are both amazing musicians. This is the first time I was able to hear either of them play. They were great!

Mrs. Hettie & Mr. Don were waiting for their wedding music so they could walk down the aisle. They were so sweet waiting & listening.

I loved being able to move around wherever I wanted to get the best shot during this ceremony. I'm not often able to be towards the front. With the small group & the layout of the auditorium, I was able to do so.

Stephanie & her mom

The Happy Couple!

This was my favorite shot of the day!

I hope you all enjoy the slideshow!

I finally have Candace & Josh's beautiful wedding day ready to blog! I don't know if I wanted to share so many because they have been so patient (May is NOT a good month to get things done if you are a teacher!) or if they are just that fun to share! I tried to choose "a few" & somehow had 40 images in a folder. I have narrowed them down for now; you will just have to watch the slideshow to see the rest!

Candace was my student teacher in the fall-I was so excited that she & Josh allowed us to be a part of their beautiful wedding day! The forecast was for major thunderstorms-I prayed so hard for good weather for pictures & not one raindrop fell until we were leaving the reception! :)

Candace had told me months ago about how much Josh loves Pal's. I was not one bit surprised to see him enjoying Pal's for lunch!

You all know how much I LOVE a First Look. :) Candace & Josh's First Look was extra sweet for a couple of reasons: 1) Candace made sure that no one (besides her parents & photographers!) saw her in her dress until Josh did. 2) Her daddy walked her down to see Josh for the first time.

Brittany & I always snap a few shots & then leave the couple alone for a few moments. Candace & Josh were so sweet-they just smiled huge smiles the whole time!

Handsome Groom

Beautiful Bride

One of my favorites

Another favorite-I think Brittany captured this one.

Might be my favorite from the day :)

I stumbled upon Candace & Josh sneaking a kiss right before the ceremony began.

Thanks to Brittany for this great shot of the girls.

This was our first "flag bearer" wedding. I LOVED it!
(The other side of the flag says "Just Married.")

One of my favorite ring shots ever!

This groomsman-Matt-is going to be a great daddy one day! He was so good with the little boys! This was taken at the Double Tree while we were waiting on the bride & groom to arrive.

Candace & Josh,
*Thanks for allowing us to capture your beautiful day!
*Thanks for being so wonderful to work with!
*Thanks for patiently waiting for your slideshow & gallery!
*Please come back & visit soon! I miss you!
**Enjoy your slideshow!

Candace & Josh Sneak Peek 2 {Johnson City Tennessee Wedding Photography}

Last week was super busy and so was this weekend. Just a little sneak peek for Candace and Josh as they return from their honeymoon. :) More coming soon!

I told you there would be more blog posts from Doug and Elizabeth's big day! Here is the "Getting Ready" Post. :) The getting ready images are almost always my favorites. Everyone is so excited about the big day and it really shows.

The image below is Elizabeth's sister, Alisa, sewing on one of Elizabeth's wedding gowns. I LOVED how resourceful the Doan family is! There were alterations being made in the hour or so before we started pictures-and not with a safety pin or tape (which is how I would alter something!)-they used real needle and thread! Wesley asked me, "Did that make you wish you could sew?" I won't tell you what my answer was. :)
If you were paying attention earlier, I said "one of Elizabeth's wedding gowns." Yep, she had TWO. What a lucky girl! Elizabeth's grandfather wanted one of the granddaughters to wear her grandmother's wedding dress. She had dreamed of wearing the dress for years, so they were pretty nervous last month when the gown was nowhere to be found. They found it two days (I think) before we did her bridal session! It was in a dry cleaner bag in a box! I was so amazed with how beautiful and well preserved the dress was. Elizabeth's mother and aunt also wore the dress on their wedding days. At the reception, there was a table with pictures of each bride wearing the dress and the story (written by Elizabeth) of the dress.

Chantilly lace. :)While the grown-ups were hustling and bustling around getting ready, the ring bearer and flower girl were taking care of what was most important......PLAYING!

The "booster seat" cracked me up!

Elizabeth's mom crocheted beautiful shawls for each of the girls. They were amazing.

Sisters, mom, and aunt help ready the beautiful bride.

Hope you enjoyed Part 2.
More to come!
