Middle TN Wedding | Savannah and Daniel

March 25, 2017

   I've known Daniel since he was little, and Savannah just happens to be my long lost cousin on my mother's side (long story!), so I was thrilled to photograph their beautiful wedding.  From the getting ready stage to the reception, it was fun and emotional.  Their relationship is centered around faith, and I know they will have a long, loving marriage.  I can't wait to see what happens next!

   Savannah started out with her bridesmaids at Beauty Boutique here in Lebanon.  Check them out here:

   The ceremony was at First United Methodist Church, where Daniel's family has attended for a long time.  One of my favorite sweet parts was when Daniel sang to savannah during the ceremony.  It was awesome!  The music was pretty, and the dresses were gorgeous!  Savannah was a beautiful bride.

   Scroll down to see some favorites that tell the story of their day...and to see some crazy dancing!

Summer Mini Session {Burress}

These three sillies were a hoot!

Summer Fun Minis Lebanon, TN {Caleb and Mary}

My sweet friend, Tonya, has the cutest kids! Caleb tried so hard to do a good job and Mary stole the show with her silliness. Check out the ones where Mary is sticking her tongue out. So funny!

Summer Fun Mini Session {Everhett and Parks}

Check out these two brothers. They are always fun to photograph and I'm always tired afterward! Haha! Everhett and Parks always make me laugh and smile with their energy. It doesn't get any better than this!

Lebanon 3 Month Session {Baby Bond}

Sweet, sweet! It rained on us a bit, but she didn't care.

Lebanon, Tn Maternity Session at Cedars of Lebanon {McFarland maternity session}

This was the perfect place for this session. The trees filtered the light just so. I'm so happy for you, Courtney and Matt!

Greer Family {Spring Mini Session}

These big brothers were so "helpful" with their sisters and the animals. Hee, hee. Actually they both were good assistants. I'm glad we got some smiles out of the girls, too!

Allison Family {Spring Session}

What a sweet little family! ...and sister makes five. I did get a couple of smiles from her!

softball! {Sports Session}

Someone had asked me about softball pictures, so this is a throwback from last year's season. We had fun with this on the field as well as on a secluded road.

Luke, Sam, and Isabel {Spring Mini Session}

These three munchkins are always a blast AND a challenge to photograph. They are so energetic and curious...I wonder what would happen if the bunny hopped away? So fun, but I got a workout! Haha! I LOVE the one where Sam is talking to his chick, too, Mandi. I am pleased that they are so photogenic.

Nina and Eliza {Spring minis}

I've watched these two grow up. They have become so beautiful! It amazes me that Lisa has a blonde, a redhead, and a brunette. Sadly, Abby's not in these pictures. The funniest thing about this session was when I asked the girls to look at the camera with a serious face. Giggles would immediately erupt and have the totally opposite effect of what I was going for. Oh, well. Those are the ones I like best with the natural smiles.

Marlie and Mattie {Spring mini session}

Oh, my! Love little girls in Spring dresses. Mattie was just as polite and did everything I asked of her, no problem. Marlie would NOT have anything to do with those ducks! She was polite about it, too, though. Makes me laugh. Luckily no animals pooped on her. Or pecked her. We had a good time and I love how these turned out!

Birthday fun {event photography}

Thinking about birthday parties makes me hungry. Love, love, love cake smashes.

{Maternity Sessions}

Looking back at a couple of maternity sessions today. Just thought I'd share the collages I made!

Baby Clair {Newborn Session}

Our hard work paid off with Clair. She went to sleep at the end of the session, of course. There was so much going on she didn't want to miss it, but the wait was worth it! So sweet. Happy for this little family of four.

Lucy {13 year old pictures}

I can't believe I'm a mom of a 13 year old! She is so excited to be a teenager. I have been hearing about it for a year. I'm happy to have gotten her pictures with snow since her birthday is in December, and I found this great spot thanks to my sister! Lucy looks so grown up to me, but I think she will always have the heart of a sweet little girl.

Callie {strawberry patch}

This mild weather today made me long for warmer temperatures, so I turned my thoughts back to last May when I followed Callie out to the Circle K Farms strawberry patch to pick some fresh berries. It may be cold tomorrow, so enjoy this little reminder of sunshine!

I can't believe this baby is a year old! Sweet Luke is growing and I can't tell some of his pictures apart from his brother's. The resemblance is amazing. Of course, Izzy looks like them, too. Isn't it funny?
