Rob & Lisa

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! The Andrews family certainly did. On to bigger and better!

Rob and Lisa tied the knot back on December 15th. The ceremony is definitely the most intimate one I've shot yet. Including the bride and groom, there were 15 people in the room (ok, plus me for 16). It's pretty hard to NOT feel like you're being obtrusive when there are so few people in the room!

One benefit I didn't foresee in such a small ceremony was that Rob and Lisa were TOTALLY relaxed through the entire thing! I think they would have redone the whole ceremony if I'd asked so that I could get different shots!

Oh, I forgot to mention! It was also the 61st anniversary of Lisa's Granparents wedding! How cool is that!?

After the formals, we went back to the newlywed's home for the cake cutting and, of course, FOOD.

Thanks so much for letting me be a part of something so special. Rob & Lisa, may God bless your walk together and continue to draw you ever closer to himself and each other!

Jennifer and Andy

Saturday, Jennifer, Andy and I went trecking through a very gray Spring Hill in search of the right place to make some engagement photos. We ended up at a lotation that I had shot previously and liked very much. It looks like it was, at one time, both a home and a store.

Jennifer and Andy were so much fun to work with. They had me cracking up the whole time. To say they're quick witted would be a bit of an understatement. In spite of that humor, I still managed to get them with a straight face, once or twice...

If this shoot was any indication of what's in store for me, I CAN'T WAIT for the wedding!

After Five and a Half Years...

My wife is (generally) one of the most patient people I know. In this, though, she's really outdone herself. Six years ago, as we were planning our wedding, I told her that I wanted to take her bridal portraits. Being the traditionalist she is, she didn't want me seeing her dress until she was walking down the isle. No sweat, right? Just do them once you're back from the honeymoon. Unfortunately, it wasn't long after our honeymoon that we became pregnant with our first son!

To make a long story short, that pattern continued a second time. Now, five and a half years after our actual wedding day, we've FINALLY done the shoot. And let me tell you, it wasn't a day too soon.

My wife is, without a doubt, far more beautiful today than the day we married. When I first saw her in her dress, she looked more like I did that day; Excited and nervous. Today, I see the confidant, experienced woman she's grown to become. She looks more like a queen holding court than a bride.

Ok, I've actually made myself cry. Enough of this! People won't believe I'm the cold hearted shooter that I am if I keep this up... Don't give me that look! I'll take this camera and-

Who am I kidding? I'm a sap. My wife is beautiful. So beautiful, in fact, that she makes me cry.

I love you, Caroline.

PS- The shots with both of us in them were lit and posed by me, but shot by my best friend, Will Underwood. Thanks Will, Daniel, Lindsi, Melodie and Lea Anne!
