Charleston, WV Wedding w/ Michelle Waters

In the fall, I helped Miss Michelle Waters shoot the wedding of Kama and Chris in Charleston, WV.  It was a fantastic wedding and reception with a ton of energy and a whole lot of love (not to mention, amazing potato soup and hot apple cider!)  When Michelle asked me to shoot with her she told me that Kama was a bridesmaid in another wedding she had shot, and that she was the orneriest person alive, so I knew I wanted to meet her! We danced our booties off with the Dance Crew from her DJ company (which was a really cool touch) and had a blast creating the images.  Nothing but the best to Kama and Chris!

February.. digital deal and love talk.

With February starting today, lots of things are going on in my mind. We are having our baby shower next weekend, followed by a Valentines trip to see my sister one last time before we have this baby! Then the last two weekends of February are full of classes to prepare for the little arrival in April. =] It's going to be a busy month!

February is always associated with love because of Valentine's Day but for me, it is the month that Tim & I got married.  2/22/08, a Friday, 9:15am at the courthouse in Kanawha County, WV.  It poured the rain as soon as we said "I do" and we booked it to the car for our honeymoon weekend in the Smoky Mountains where we celebrated with Tim's bro and sis in law and a cake from Food Lion.  My wedding story isn't typical and there were no white dresses or tuxedos.  Just two people looking each other in the eye and agreeing to spend forever making it work.  I will never forget our wedding day and as we come up on 2 years of wedded bliss, I can't imagine ever taking back the vows we made that rainy February morning.

It is no secret that I love weddings.. big ones, small ones, elaborate, simple. it doesn't matter.  The end result is always the same and I get giddy everytime we book a wedding.  I always find it strangely wonderful when a couple allows us to be their photographers, I feel like a trusted confidant and try very hard to serve the couple perfectly. I am always taken back to my wedding day and can channel the bride and groom's nervous excitement that is so beautifully mixed with 100% utter certainty that what they are committing to is real and will never die. Tim & I are most definitely excited to see who will allows us into their day in 2010.

With new albums, new photo on fabric pieces, new paintings.. this year we are hoping to offer nothing but the best of the most unique to our amazing couples.  If you have questions or would like to come by and see some of our new samples, please make an appointment and we'll chat =] 

Also- please note that we will be at the Bridal Expo at Elite Sports Center on March 7th. Come talk to us there! Great deals on 2010 weddings and lovebird sessions - PLUS we will have samples to touch and feel.. PLUS this guy will be there...

I love you Timmy! Thanks for being the most honest, trustworthy, hard-working man I know.(and for letting me take this photo of you in the rain..) seriously folks, my husband rules! =] Happy 2 years!
