I know I say all of my wedding couples rock, but these guys seriously do!    Their wedding party also rocked, and I think this was the first time I got an awesome sincere smile from each of the groomsmen in all the photos they were in!  (It is often rare!)  This church was absolutely the most fabulous church I have photographed a wedding in.  I just adored it.  Congrats to Alisha and Marshall!!

Even though this lady here does not like her photograph taken in the least, she is SO photogenic!  That’s right, Jennifer, I’m letting the world know your secret!    I loved how all the photos came out from her bridal session and it was mighty hard to pick out my favorite five to post on here.

Many many congrats to these two!!  It was a very beautiful wedding and I had a wonderful time getting to know them and photographing them!  But, I have to say (and I know they would totally disagree) the best part of the day was at the end when everyone threw birdseed.  Now, normally when you think of that, you think, “Awww, that’s sweet.”  But everyone at this particular wedding took the opportunity to ferociously release every single ounce of birdseed imaginable for like ten straight minutes!  It was so hilarious; I think I was the only person there that didn’t get completely pelted with birdseed.    Everyone threw it at everyone else, and they even chased down Ashley and Jessie to continue the attack!

This lady here rocks; she has a dragonfly tattoo, need I say more?    This was another 10,000 degree heat portrait session at Will Rogers Park, but I was super happy with how the photos turned out!!  And it was one of the last days that all the grass and everything was pretty and green, so we definitely planned it just in time.

It was so hard only picking out 15 images to post on here!  I totally would’ve liked to put them all, but the 7 hour loading waiting time would get pretty boring.    I had a wonderful time getting to photograph Shlonda and Michael!!  They are such a wonderful couple, and I was so delighted about how many loving friends and family they had that attended.  I haven’t ever seen such a packed church for a wedding ceremony before.  The reception was in one of the ballrooms at the Cox Convention Center- SOOO amazing!  Many congrats to you two!!
