Thank you!!!

I've been a bad blogger...

...and I'm sorry:(
I am trying to get the new blog up and running but I've just been so busy lately (October is the new June!). I promise I will have it up next week sometime. But this weekend, my husband Ben and I are going to the mountains! Woo hoo!!!
I have promised him I will do no work and will just relax, breathe in the mountain air, drink a glass of red wine and maybe cheer on my Dawgs! We are bringing his mother, sister and brother in law as well and it should be a lot of fun. So, if I don't respond to your email right away, please be patient. I will be back Tuesday morning.
To catch you up a little on what's been going on in the world of weddings, here are my latest slideshows! Have a fabulous weekend:)

Sneak Peeks!

Just a short mini blog here to share a couple of my favorite moments from my past 2 weddings. I'll do a full post for each later, but for now...here's a few nuggets.
The first 2 come from Sarah and Ryan's super fun wedding in Watkinsville. It's a good example of why it's a great idea to have 2 photographers at your wedding. While I was on a chair getting this pic of the dancefloor...
Angie, my second photographer was getting this!

Amanda and Salem's wedding was so fun too. Here's Salem making one last attempt to escape;)And more reception fun...I love garter shots!

Stay tuned for more!

Nakisha & Michael-Kimball Hall

Nakisha and Michael's wedding at the gorgeous Kimball Hall was fabulous. The day started out with a few hitches, but quickly smoothed out and turned into a dream wedding. Julie, the director at Kimball Hall has a way of getting things taken care of without sweating one drop. She's so great to work with because of her laid back attitude and sweet southern accent, but she's truly a machine behind the scenes.
Here are just a few pics of Nakisha and Michael's big day back in September.
The beautiful Nakisha



And the very handsome Michael









And check out the slideshow!

Things are still really crazy busy here, so just keep checking back for more posts!

Rebecca and Zach-Dahlonega

Dahlonega is such a beautiful place to have a wedding. Is such a quaint little town away from the hustle and bustle of Atlanta, but not too far of a drive! And, like always, it was such a great time, with some awesome people!
You may remember Rebecca as Jessica's maid of honor back in June! It was great to see all of Jessica's family again. It was also great to get to meet Rebecca and Zach's families who cracked me up with their killer dance skills! Their wedding day was so perfect and here are a few pics from the day...
One of the bridesmaids alerted me to this awesome shot from the parking lot!Becca's comfy shoes
I had to do something with this awesome piece of art.
Becca has the best smile
...and I wonder where she gets it?!
Becca's nieces weren't quite sure what to think of Aunt Becca all dressed up.But they soon discovered how fun her veil was!
Meanwhile Grandpa was getting his hair done too!
Just love these little munchkins!
We had some fun with her veil too...
