WOW, I could on and on and on about this wedding in Folkston Georgia but I have almost 50 images to show so I won’t chat as much as I usually do.  But first let me just say THANK YOU to everyone there.  It was a amazing day and night and Wesley and I had a fabulous time!  Thank you so very much for making us feel so VERY welcome!

We had a few “local” vendors there which I thought was super cool and as soon as I get all the other information from Cheree about all the others that were there to make her day so perfect I will blog more.  But first and foremost let me thank Wesley Leytham of www.raeleytham.com.  Rae just gave birth to two of the most precious baby girls in the whole world and was so sweet to let Wes out the house to go all the way to Jacksonville with me an I will never be able to thank him and Rae enough.  Thank you for the AMAZING work Wes, the great fun and for introducing me to the Cheesecake Factory.  GOODNESS GRACIOUS it was fine, and so are you!

Betty ANN Weber!  We love you Betty.  I also wanted you to know that Cheree had them wrap up two boxes of cake for me and Wesley for the ride home.  LOL, “B” ate mine of course!

Jonathon Clark and Virgina Clark of Clark and Company.   As always GREAT seeing yall.  Your babies are PERFECT!

I said I was not going to talk alot right?  One more thing.  Cheree’ and Hampton you two were just totally BEAUTIFUL, SWEET, WONDERFUL and well just a JOY to be around.  Thank you for trusting me with your most important day.  And thank you to your WAY FUN wedding party and your families for making us feel so welcome!   I sure hope I get to see yall again and again!   God Bless you both!






Ok, maybe that is not quite what I was trying to say because I am not even sure you can prepare yourself for my friend John Dye!   John is my new friend and it’s like we have known each other for like EVER!  He is beyond funny, hysterical even, smart, cute, talented.  I mean seriously he could be a whole new reality show in himself.  John is just one of those guys that is just genuine to the core and would give you the shirt of his back if need be.  Oh, wait better not ask him right of the bat though.  <wink>  Well my friend John (makeup artist extraordinaire by the way) has started a blog of sorts.  Actually his blog is face book because he feels he can reach more people that way.  I mean really, what better way for the whole world to see something or someone than face book right?   So if you love all that juicy, gooey gossip and want to hear or read it like no one else in the world in my opinion can tell it go friend John Dye and visit his face book page.  You will love him I promise!   He is just funny…lighten up people it’s just in fun!   LOL…here is his link to his page  http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=5230762 and also if you click on his name in this post that will get you right to him too!   Read, have fun, laugh, wipe tears from your eyes from the laughter…REPEAT!  <wink>

Yall hear what I say…this young man WILL be famous…kinda like “Andy Cohen got the 411…”

Oh and again because no post is great without a picture…my friend John!





Well, there are MANY reasons I do what I do.  I ADORE my job.  I live with three men so the testosterone is pretty thick here.   Ok, so it’s a little thick.  LOL.  I am not the most feminine of all women but when the mention of a wedding comes up…OH MY I lose all control.  LOL.  And I LOVE it.  But the number ONE reason I do what I do is this post that was sent to me via face book just a few seconds ago.  I must admit I teared up and my chest stuck out with pride beyond belief!   Thank you to all who trusted me and trust me in the future for their upcoming events!    I am humbled beyond belief and just so proud to know you all.  Today I love me some Carrie the most.  <wink>

I was just looking through some wedding pictures and had to tell you again how thankful and blessed I feel to have had you there that day. Because of you, I will have these GORGEOUS photos to look back on for years to come and to show our kids one day. Thank you so much for that. Love you, Patsy!

And because she is beyond stunning and EVERYTHING is better with a picture…the stunning Carrie and her gorgeous husband Jared!





It was a rainy night in Georgia…LOL, wait, I meant Alabama!  Most of you probably do not even remember that song right?  Anyway, it was a wet, rainy, night in Mobile, Alabama but that of course did not stop Dana and Ray  from having a beautiful wedding!   We started at the BEAUTIFUL Battle House Hotel in Downtown Mobile!   I just have to get back there soon.  Can you believe in 11 years of this fabulous job I have I have NEVER shot in downtown Mobile?  I pretty much loved the town…well until we got lost!   We then proceeded to the Bragg Mitchell Mansion!   LOVED it too!  Sure wish the weather had been better but we still have some beautiful moments!

Dana was lovely and Ray such a handsome, SWEET young man!  They sure had some awesome vendors there too.  As always Namans was OH SO GOOD!   Such a joy to work with also.

Oh and Tiffany with Cherished Unions was quite the life saver.  Thanks Tiffany!

I am ashamed to say I did not get everyone’s names but truly it was lovely!  Mike was the DJ and he was GREAT.  I hear he travels too.  Thanks Mike, so nice meeting you!   You did a GREAT job keeping everyone going strong!  And one more time thank you LUKER Smith for always being there with me.  Luker and I have been traveling/shooting all week and we really did love it, but we are oh so ready for a tiny little break!  Right Luker?

Stay tuned soon ( I hope) for the new website…coming soon!

Thanks again Dana and Ray!  Safe travels!  God Bless!





Yes, that is right, Luker and I went to St. Petersburg to be with the WONDERFUL families and Christy and Clark.  We had a BLAST!   I think it goes without saying that I LOVE me some Daniel family to bits!  This is the THIRD Daniel wedding I have had the honor of shooting and again it goes without saying that I adore the whole family!  Oh, and Clark’s family was quite a joy to work with too.  He has quite a few cousins so I hope I get to see them again…and again!  (wink)   I could bore you to pieces with tons of stuff but from all the emails I have been getting I think it best I get right to it right?  LOL.

Christy and Clark were so very beautiful and you can tell they just love each other to bits!  Thank you Daniel family for remembering me once again!  I feel like family now.  Luker and I cannot thank you all enough for being so good to us.  We love you all!

Now for a few little shout outs!

The Vinoy Hotel!   Can I just say WOW!  WOW, WOW, WOW!  The food, the cake, the decor, the people that helped make this wedding perfect…it was just WOW!

Bloom Garden Shop?   I think that was the name.  Forgive me if I got that wrong.  I did not get to meet them but the flowers were just STUNNING!

http://granthemond.com/….what a doll he was.  Pretty easy on the eyes too if you don’t mind me saying so Craig!  (wink)

And the one that made us feel most at home was Cara from Hearts Video!   Thank you so much Cara, you were very kind!  I hope to see you again and I can’t wait to see something from Christy and Clarks Wedding!

I think that is it except of course for my wonderful right hand man Luker Smith!  He is so the bomb and everyone always just loves him!  Thank you Luker, LOVE you so much!

Ok, now on to the images…there are quite a few…





Well now that Christy and Clark are married and having what I know to be a fabulous time on their honeymoon I can now post a few of her bridals we took ONE week before her fabulous wedding in St. Petersburg!  Stay tuned for some of their FABULOUS wedding REALLY soon!
