JUST SOME WEDDING FUN...


I love weddings!  I love being able to capture THE moment.  And every moment in-between, which are usually my favorite moments to capture.  The interaction, the randomness, the fun, the love, and the happiness between two people.  I've been going thru some of my images from some of my favorite weddings that I have had the opportunity to shoot.  And as I look at these, I can remember each day like it was yesterday!  And my favorite compliment that has been given to me:  "I love your style.  I love how fun you are and how easy you make this for everyone.  You're patient, relaxed, fun, and easy going.."

I just wanted to share a few of my favorites.

ITS A GOOD "NIGHTMARE"


A while ago I was asked by Robin Parrish, a successful novelist, if he could use one of my photos for his new upcoming book.  I immediately said YES!  I think it was one of those instances where no thinking was required to come up with an answer.  I was honored that he wanted to use one of my photos for this newly raved novel.  I just couldn't wait for his book to come out.  It's been months in the waiting!  But the waiting is over..  This week I was finally able to check my mail.  And there it was.  THE book.  "Nightmare."  And it was marked with a piece of white paper where my photo was.  Yep.  At Chapter Eight.  It was pretty much pure awesomeness to see! 

Robin chose one of my images of The Myrtles Plantation.  Last year I was able to visit this famous Plantation in St. Francisville, LA.  If you'd like, you can check out my blog post about it and see why this southern plantation is.. in.. fact.. 'haunted'...  I love visiting this place whenever I get a chance.  It's not only haunted, it's absolutely beautiful and very intriguing.  Definitely a place worth visiting.

Thank you Robin for choosing one of my images for your new book!  I can't wait to read it!  I'm hearing such great things about it!

DICHARRY FAMILY


I absolutely love the Dicharry family!  I'm pretty sure that they are one of my most favorites in New Orleans.  You may remember them from a blog post I did last year, which was the first time I met this incredible family.  And, there's one more little addition...their adorable baby, Legend.  Not only do they have THE cutest kids...Ever.  But they happen to be fun, giving, spiritual, and loving.  You definitely need to check out Joye's blog,  "The Joyeful Journey".  It's a must read.  I may have mentioned this before, but she is truly an amazing example of living with putting our Heavenly Father first and thinking of Him every day...  So if you like to read or just need a spiritual up lift, check out her amazing writing skills and fun spirit.  It's worth it.
And when her husband, Joel, is not working, fishing, or playing in a band, he's talking about his amazing wife with pretty much anybody who will listen.  (One of these days, I'm gonna shoot him playing in that band and I can't wait!) ;)  It's so fun spending time with this family and seriously...their children are simply adorable, each in their own way.  I love seeing their different personalities come thru whenever I see them.  Love it!  And whether I'm helping one of the twins put their shoes on or just listening to their fun stories about life...I simply enjoy every minute.  I can't help it.  I guess you could say that they are kind of addicting.  Really.












A favorite.













I love twins...








I love this!  It reminds me of my twin brother... (He had a look like this too.) ;)





This family is so fun, I love it.








Love this one.

This could just be my favorite...

Thank you so much Joye and Joel!  I'm so glad we got a chance to get together while I was in Nola.  Seriously.  I love you all..
