as the summer kicks off, i'm reminded of the cooler temps of fall and of the many fabulous weddings we photographed then. fall has become quite popular here in the south for weddings, as we almost always have pleasant weather that time of year.
jessica & derek's wedding was no exception! jenny & i arrived early at their church to capture jessica & her bridesmaids getting ready, as well as most of the wedding party ahead of time. the church had a nice outdoor courtyard with pretty landscaping - it was the perfect location for photos! jessica & derek had such a lovely ceremony with so many personal touches. one of the sweetest aspects of their ceremony was when jessica's mother walked down the aisle beside her & gave her away.
the reception was held not too far from the church, at a great little place called the dunnagan house. it had an outdoor covered pavilion set up with tables and festive twinkling lights. there was a space indoors where they had a dance floor & the bar set-up too. everyone had so much fun & the food was delicious! one of jessica's bridesmaids carved all of the pumpkins & another made the burlap flowers on the cake and tables. the cake was also made lovingly by a friend.
not only did i enjoy working with such a wonderful couple, jessica's mother nita was also such a sweetheart to work with! she decided to surprise them with an album, which i really enjoyed designing for them. it was so exciting to finally receive the final product & to be able to deliver it to nita just in time for christmas was an added bonus. i found out later that jessica & derek absolutely LOVED it too - and they were totally taken by surprise! i'm so lucky to have such wonderful clients!
