On April 30th, I had the privilege of shooting the wedding of Jackie & Derric Maddry. These two have such a sweet love story and testimony, I just had to be apart of their special day. (And, since I had never seen Jackie wear a dress before, I knew this was an event not to be missed!) Being such a gorgeous girl, I convinced her to pose for some bridal portraits right before the wedding. So here are some of those images. Enjoy, because you may never see her in a dress again! :-P

Jenny's Bridal Session (Sneak Peek)

This week I went to the quaint and beautiful Memorial Gardens in Concord for a bridal portrait session with Jenny. And I had some help from my awesome assistant, Toni Blackshire. (Check out her work!)
Jenny is getting married in May to her fiance Tyler and I'm honored and excited to shoot their big day! Jenny's an absolutely gorgeous girl and her dress is equally as stunning. But, we can't spoil the big reveal, so this is all you're getting until after the wedding.

Me in action

Here's a picture that was taken by a photographer from the Herald Sun paper in Durham, NC. I was shooting a bridal portrait session with Katie at Duke Gardens. Just thought this was fun. :)

Monday I drove to Durham, NC to meet up with Katie Pettyjohn and her mother, Karen, for Katie's bridal portrait session at the lovely Duke Gardens. Although many of the spring blossoms had yet to bud and bloom, we still found some beautiful backdrops to photograph Katie against in her gorgeous wedding gown.
It was a great day! The weather cooperated quite nicely. And we even met a photographer from the Herald Sun, who took a few shots of us in action (which appeared in the paper yesterday). So, we're officially famous!
In a few weeks, I'll meet up with Katie again, but this time her fiance Andrew will be there too so we can get some shots of the engaged couple before their big day in April.
Posted above is just one of the fun shots we took Monday. Katie has got a great sense of humor, so we enjoyed goofing off some, too.
