• I have many journals that sit on the shelf at home. They chronicle many aspects of my life. I love to look through them, enjoying the things I have written or the pictures there in. It is my hope that as you look through these pages, that you too will enjoy the things placed so lovingly here.
    It has been a journey that has seen me through many joys and a few heartaches. From the start of Crimson Chickadee and my growth as a person and as a photographer. From the realization that how many fans I have on my facebook page does not merit my worth, to the swelling in my heart as I hit publish to a post that I know will mean so much to the intended recipient.
    I hope you join me often, with a good cup of coffee, and enjoy these pages as much as I do creating them.

true love | wainwright wedding photographer

One of my favorite parts of a wedding day is sneaking back to talk to the Groomsmen prior to the ceremony. They have such a unique type of nervous excitement…a little bit of electricity in the air. It was no different when I walked in and had my pre-ceremony visit with Mr.S and co. With the men was the ring bearer. He sat in his chair with his feet dangling, nervous as can be. I went over and knelt down in front of him, introducing myself and asking if I could straighten his tie out…we started chatting and I must say he is a character. I asked him how he was doing…his reply simply was cranky and cross! Trying to contain a chuckle I inquired as to why…he looked at me, placing his hands on his hips and said “I do NOT want to get married today!” I reassured him the Mr. S and Miss A were the only ones tying the knot and we settled into a real good chat. He got over his nerves and did an awesome job, so good that he even gave us the best impromptu dance display from the front of the church during the signing of the registry.
Mr.S and Miss A both looked amazing and it was a beautiful ceremony.
Thank you both for letting myself and Miss L be apart of your day. I wish you a lifetime of happiness…and the pitter patter of little feet!!

Lovely | Wainwright Bridal Photography | Photos by Nicole

I am crazy over Miss C’s bridal session. Every time I turned around I saw beauty. Miss C is so gorgeous…I absolutely love every image Alleisha and I took of her. We had such a good time…so much in fact that it was getting dark before we knew it. Thanks Miss C for being such a good sport…and putting up with us two silly chickies!

hitting the road

I laughed most of the way into town yesterday. The other occupants of my vehicle did not find my laughter so amusing. You see I had the pea pod stuffed as full as I could get it. I even had to have the boys get into their seats and then piled stuff around their feet. They were more than happy to get out when I got to town. It was one of those moments you want to file away into the category of “when you need a good laugh please remember when”! After dropping them off I headed on to pick up Alleisha….and we packed more stuff in where the boys once sat. From there we made our way to the Elegant Event Rentals Bridal Showcase.

We enjoyed meeting all the brides. It was so fun to get to hear about their weddings and the plans they had.  The fashion show was a hit. And everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves!  We especially liked sitting a table away from the catering table. Yes, we admit it, we were more than willing to try the wonderful food she had prepared…And man was it good…I could have eaten it all!!  Don’t worry I will list all the  vendors on the wedding website(It will be live in a couple of weeks). If you are interested in names sooner message me and I will send you what you need.

I still need to unpack the pea pod so I best get a movin…

for those of you who did not make it out to the show here is a glimpse of our table….

the scoop

Alright, here it is…the big project, the secret that Alleisha and I have been working on.  We had an appointment with Thomson Creative Video Productions last night.  Yup… you read that right,  VIDEO!  We had Jenny follow us around on a shoot so you can see exactly what we do and why we are always saying we have so much fun!  Of course we had such a blast doing it!  We are so excited to show it to you…but until then here are a couple of the pictures for you to see,  I wish I could show you them all!!!

speechless| Wainwright Wedding Photographer

Sometimes in life you are blessed with opportunities that are so special and touch you deep  in your heart. I was blessed with one this weekend. This is my friend “L” in her mother’s wedding dress. I feel honored that I could share something so meaningful with her. She is the most beautiful person I think I know! Here are two from that session…I think you will agree!
