Be Happy, and Love Each Other

Where do I start? I'm loving so many things about these pics! Anna, our client from Decatur, AL, was married last month at the Seaside Chapel. She Knows how to take a picture. Let me just say that.

I love her veil, I love her makeup (she did it herself!), loved the dress, the flowers and Christina rocked out some gorgeous hair!

Here's another thing I loved...her photographers! Wes + Tera= Armosa Studios. Great style, great writing on the blog...and she signs her posts Be Happy, and Love Each Other! Ok, yes, I love that, too.









Make your way over to see the rest of the photos, and say hi to Wes & Tera! You'll love their blog, and their bulldog. :)

TFA Bride: Nita

In celebration of one of our clients making Paul Johnson Photography's Top 69 in '09, I present Nita. Not sure of her number down on the list, but nonetheless, this stunning photo made the cut! It's been one of my favorites all year, too. It's funny..Nita's laid back with a quick sense of humor, but in this photo--she just *gave* it to the camera, no? Love that.

Here are a few others featured on Paul Johnson Photography's blog.






It's out of order in the sequence of wedding day events, but I wanted to save it for last. I like the bright colors and the scratched out note on the front. Good stuff.

Completely Unveiled!

Weddings Unveiled just featured one of our brides on their daily blog,

Completely Unveiled ...and we're just tickled to bring it to you!

Emily and I so enjoyed Heather, her bridesmaids and family! We laughed, they drank champagne, and Heather is now the reigning queen of "Best Getting Ready Playlist."

There are so many things that go on behind the scenes at a wedding, that no one has any idea about...except the wedding planner, that is. Shelby had her hands full with Mother Nature on this one! The wind and cold snap just would not go away. It didn't dampen this crowd, though. We were told before hand that this was a partying bunch--and they proved it to be true!

The following photo boards are brought to you by the Completely Unveiled Blog:






{In case you haven't noticed, Kirsten Hawley is the new Blog Director at Completely Unveiled. Her style is shining through, and we love it! You can Subscribe to the blog here and follow Kirsten on Twitter, here!}

Best Wishes, Heather! Thanks for letting us share in your wedding day.

Pure 7...Pure Fabulous!

So, I sat down tonight to put together posts on some of my recent work--mainly brides who I haven't had a chance to put in my portfolio yet. It's been on my to-do list forever.

Then, I see this email pop up from Robin..."Amy :)" in the Re: line. Hmm...Amy, which Amy? Smiley face, Amy who?! Curious, of course, I stopped what I was doing, and opened the email.

Amy was one of Two Fishes' bridal clients. Robin and Christina did hair and makeup for her wedding day last month! I bet Robin's been stalking the Pure 7 Studios Blog for 2 solid weeks!

Tonight, I'm old news. Take a look at Robin and Christina's work below. These girls amaze me--they are such professionals. I can't wait to add this to their portfolio. Amy's hair piece was gorgeous, and so was the up-do. Her skin looked flawless, with just the right amount of glow, soft colors, and totally Amy's style. So Indie-fresh.


Thanks Pure 7 for the post tonight! See more here.

This last one made me smile...she's in her own little world.

TFA Bride: Christina

I loved Christina's vibe the first time I met her! Sweet, fun, happy bride. And her vendor choice was a perfect fit. Rae Lathem photographed this wedding, and she has certainly wowed me--Again.

TFA Bride: Lauren

Lauren and her bridesmaids were so much fun! Although, I will never forget Lauren's mom sitting in my chair...first of all--she's such a beautiful lady with a sharp sense of humor. As mom's, grandmother's and bridesmaids often do when they're sitting in the makeup chair, Lauren's mom began to tell me how special this day was for her. Well, all the emotion of the day had me misty-eyed, and then the more she spoke, the more her eyes welled up. All I could think was Nooo....not after I just put on Indigo Eyeliner and smudged it with N-a-v-y!! Nooo!! So, we quickly gained our composure, and continued on. It all came back when Lauren's dad arrived. I just quit packing my stuff...and got out my powder. When you can't fight 'em, join 'em.
