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….

Married! Mr & Mrs. E

Saturday was such a beautiful September day…a perfect day for a wedding! As you know Alleisha and I always have such a blast  when we shoot weddings. It is so fun to be immersed in the couples lives for the day. By the time the speeches role around I feel like I am apart of the family…you may even see a tear or two if the speaker is telling a heartfelt story! When the Mother of the Bride told me that the bride and groom enjoyed their picture time with us it made me feel so happy that we could contribute to their day in such a positive way.

Congrats and enjoy your honeymoon Mr & Mrs E!

insert little giggle here|wainwright wedding photographer

When I looked at the forecast and saw that it was calling for rain today I was secretly delighted. I have been wanting to do a wedding in the rain but how can you say to a bride..oh man I hope it rains on your wedding day!?!

I couldn’t have asked for a better group of participants than the wedding party from today. They stood out in the rain and kept on smiling for us. The pictures are so fun and I cannot wait to share some of them with you…but I am heading up the stairs and calling it an early night tonight. I will however share one image with you from the ceremony. It is just to priceless to keep to myself ;)

Mr & Mrs Bun|wainwright wedding photographer

Last fall when I got a call from Miss J I was thrilled.  I used to teach both her older sister and her  piano lessons when they were younger.  I was so honored that she wanted me to be her wedding photographer!  I have been waiting patiently all year for this wedding!  You may remember her engagement photos, both R and J made such an impression on me. You can view them {here}.  Their day was amazing and everyone looked so beautiful…especially Miss J.  Enjoy your time away with each other…maybe bring some of that warm tropical weather home with you.  Everyone would love you even more if you did! ;)

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Z |wainwright wedding photographers

These two amazed me when they showed up for their engagement session.  They are sooo in love and absolutely perfect for each other!   I was very excited to head out on Saturday for their wedding.  I was a little nervous when it rained all night on Friday but when I awoke to the sun-shine I knew it was going to be a perfect day.   Alleisha and I had so much fun!  Thank you A & D for choosing us to photograph your love story.   I have not seen Alleisha’s pictures yet but I had a box of kleenex with me as I was choosing the pictures to show you.  There are some that are so full of emotion that you cannot help but be drawn into the love you share.  I am posting more than I normally do…but it is because I just had to!

A’s dress was so beautiful…

jeff & shanna | wainwright wedding photographers

It was a beautiful day for a winter wedding on Saturday.  Alleisha and I had so much fun with Jeff and Shanna and their families/wedding party!  The ceremony was very moving…as you will see from the look on Jeff’s face when Shanna came around the corner and he saw her for the first time in her dress.  Make sure you notice the twinkle in both of their eyes as they leave the church… they look so happy!! After the ceremony we even managed to stay fairly warm as we took some outside pictures at the studio.

Congratulations Jeff and Shanna!
