My sweet friend and one of my favorite second shooters, Candice Plunk, became Mrs. Candice Phelps yesterday. I'm so happy for her and her hubby. She was absolutely stunning.
I wasn't the official photographer. Candice asked me to come as a guest to her wedding, but she also wanted me to nag a few pics before the ceremony, so I happily obliged. I can't wait to see the amazing work her wedding photographer produced. I'm sure it's going to be stunning. Till then, I got permission to post a sneak of her big day! :) Enjoy!
Read moreI've waited a very long time to share this story with you. The story of the day I became a mommy.
A few things you should know before watching Sidney's journey:
- We didn't know the gender. I'm a control-freak. Letting go of this huge thing in my life was a challenge. Since Sidney would be the name for either gender, that made it a little easier - Seriously, the day I met Ryan, I knew we would get married, and the day he told me his middle name (Sidney), I knew that'd be our first child's name. My hubby went to every single doc appointment to make sure I didn't crack. The 9 months of torture was totally worth that one beautiful moment.
- Sidney James is named after our two grandaddy's in heaven - Sidney (Ryan's grandfather - and also Ryan's middle name) and James (my grandfather). When you see me tell the gender and name to my father, it's an extremely emotional moment. We kept the middle name a surprise to everyone, so that's the first time my dad found out Sidney's middle name was named after his dad. You'll see he looks over at my grandmother, that was her husband. I wouldn't trade that moment for anything in the world.
- The hairspray bottle at the beginning. Ummm yeah sorry. Ryan and I got preggo about a year before we were planning. When I found out, I was pregnant, I threw my phone down when I heard Ryan coming and pressed record. He can read me like a book, so I knew I couldn't hide it.
I'd like to say everything went as planned. Of course, it didn't. But God's Plan is perfect.

Read moreThis wedding was emotional for me. It was my last wedding before becoming a mommy, and I could not have picked a more perfect, laid-back couple to end my wedding season. If it isn't obvious, Rebecca and Austin are head over heels for each other. I'm obsessed with their wedding and all the subtle, glittery details. I hope you enjoy this sneak peak of their amazing day!
Read moreEric and Kara's big day was so full of God and God's Love. It was such a beautiful ceremony. They had their wedding at the stunning Cedar Hall. Kara was full of smiles all day, and Eric was absolutely overwhelmed by the beauty of his bride. I was so blessed to be a part of this beautiful day. I hope you enjoy this sneak peak of your big day!
Read moreKristina was the happiest bride. She giggled the whole day. I shot this wedding recently at Germantown Country Club and was in love with the details. She wanted a white and black wedding with hints of pink. I think it all turned out spectacular. Check out the sneak peak from Kristina and Brandon's big day! :)
Read moreThese two love birds are getting married this fall. I remember when Candice was just only 'talking' about this new guy in her life. Candice has been one of my go-to-girls for helping me shoot weddings for a long time now. She is an incredible photographer, and I can't wait for her to photograph my sweet baby in August. She's one gorgeous girl. It's so obvious that Stephen knows how lucky he is. They were giggling and flirting the whole engagement session.
What better way to top of her birthday weekend than a little sneak peak of their engagement session at the Collierville Square.
