This is a very exciting post for me. I am so lucky to have been chosen to be the wedding photographer for a couple that is special to me. The bride is the younger sister of my best friend and college roommate. I’ve know Jana since she was about 12 years old. She came and stayed with us in the dorm once on her spring break and we had a blast! She is so fun and reminds me so much of her sister that I can’t help but love her to death too! Jana has met someone and fallen in love and I couldn’t be more excited for her if she was my own sister. When you see these two together you can’t help but be happy for them. Jed is so sweet and very polite. He is in the Army and being married to a military man myself I know that that is one of the things they teach them…..to be polite. Even so I couldn’t help but giggle when he called me M’am. I didn’t get to spend much time with them, but I can tell that Jed is a great match for Jana.

So these two are officially my first “destination” wedding. They are making it official on March 1, 2008 in Sweeny, Texas. Although, they actually live in Tennessee they will be traveling to Jana’s hometown to get married. I can’t wait. I have been told that one of the first decisions Jana made in the planning of their wedding was to hire me as her photographer and I can’t even put together the words to tell you just how much that means to me.

Well, I know you are dying to see the awesome couple so without further ado:

I “heart” this one!!

Jana will kill me for sharing this one, but I just couldn’t help it. I loved the way he is holding her hand.

My favorite!!!!

Thanks Jana and Jed for picking me, choosing me, loving me! Can’t wait until March.

And for my first post on my new blog……lots of big beautiful engagement images of a really fun couple.

These two were troopers that was for sure. We did three locations and it was HOT out. They were up for anything and were very patient with me while I tried some new stuff and I hope they feel rewarded by all their hard work when they see these images. I can’t wait for their wedding in December. It also happens to be on the same day as my daughter’s third birthday. I know that I will ALWAYS remember their anniversary.

This is one of my favorites. I wish I had a picture of me taking this shot. I climbed up on the top of the play-set to get this. I must have been quite a sight!

Some parking garage shots. Here is where I got to play a little. Aren’t they a great couple!

And finally……an image I have seen done a few times, but I just HAD to try it for myself and it was a lot of fun to create!!
