Chayse and Whitney were so much fun during their engagement session so I knew we were going to have a great time at their wedding- and of course we did!  The day was a bit (lot) colder than expected, so we didn’t get to go outside for any pictures, but the church was lovely and Whitney looked radiant and happy all day long.  Chayse looked handsome, of course, but as always, I have to say I think I get the best grooms!!! He was just so sweet and loving towards Whitney- and wow did he dance a great Foxtrot!  

My Associate, Jeanette, drove down from Atlanta for their wedding, and she took some amazing infrared shots of the church for us… just one of the many reasons I love working with her!  Whitney’s lovely bouquet & flowers were designed by Rodney at  Kabloom.  She and Chayse were married at Unity Church and held their reception at the beautiful Heritage Hall.  They arrived in style at their reception, in the back of a beautiful antique Packard, to find a gorgeously decorated room full of friends and family.    Dancing, eating, drinking, and fun soon ensued… and the party didn’t end with the reception! One of the nicest things about Heritage Hall is its proximity to Seville!  Despite many offers of free drinks… Jeanette and I just couldn’t hang- but I know that everyone had a great time (even without us ).

Whitney & Chayse- thanks so much for being such a wonderful, fun-loving couple!  You made our job a pleasure!  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

What’s better than having a beautiful bride? Not much… except having one who is completely oblivious to how beautiful she is!    Whitney is one of those rare girls who is pretty without working at it. Nathan is handsome and a perfect gentleman… and obviously his parents had something to do with it since his 2 brothers are just as wonderful and helpful!     And everyone who surrounded them on their joyous day was so happy and excited for them, that we couldn’t help but get excited as well.  Weddings are so enjoyable because you get to witness the beginning of a new family- and by the time we have finished our coverage we can’t help but feel as if we are part of their family… and theirs is going to be a great family to be a part of!  

Chyrel and I were honored to be able to document Whitney and Nathan’s wedding at the Historic Old Christ Church in downtown Pensacola, FL; with a beautiful reception immediately following at the Lee House.   Patti Hutto did an amazing job planning the wedding and was an invaluable help – the whole day ran smoothly and on schedule; and everyone looked relaxed and happy! We started our day by meeting Whitney at the Lee House while she finished her preparations and slipped into her dress.  The Lee House also made for a beautiful backdrop for Whitney’s formal bridal portraits.   Chyrel soon ran over to meet the boys at the church- and it was nice to be so close to both locations!  While Chyrel took the groom’s portraits, I was able to finish up with Whitney’s family before we headed over to the church.  The church was beautiful and Whitney looked radiant; Nathan never stopped looking at her!  After the ceremony they left in their horse-drawn carriage for a romantic ride.  The Lee house was the perfect location for their reception and everyone really enjoyed themselves.  The food was AMAZING!!!  So we definitely need to give a quick shout out to Nancy’s Haute Affairs- Melissa did a fabulous job!  And the cake was both beautiful and delectable- but what else would you expect with  Betty Weber designing it?  (I have to admit I didn’t get a chance to taste the gorgeous wedding cake… the chocolate groom’s cake was soooo rich and yummy I didn’t have any room left!).

 Nathan and Whitney- we wish you joy and happiness and a life filled with love!  We hope you enjoy this sneak peek… the full gallery will be ready soon.  Thanks again for entrusting us with the most important job on your most important day.  And most importantly, thanks for being so wonderful to work with- it was a pleasure!

Crystal was not only lovely and sweet, but was incredibly fun to work with!  She came all the way from Texas to have her senior portraits taken in the beautiful Pensacola area.  I have to admit I was flattered that out of all the wonderful Gulf Coast photographers we have here, she chose me as her Senior Portrait Photographer   She did all the legwork herself and even stopped in Pensacola a week early for a scouting trip! So she was well prepared and knew exactly which outfits she wanted to wear at our 3 locations.  Because of this, not only does she win my award for furthest to travel for senior images- but also gets my vote for most prepared! I can tell she is going to do wonderfully in College… now she just has to decide which of her top choices is going to be the winner

Crystal- I was so honored you chose me out of the hundreds of photographers you had to pass to get here (I’ll pretend our beautiful beaches had nothing to do with your choice ).  Thanks again for trusting in me… I hope you love your sneak peek and that you enjoy your full gallery even more!

Ms. Sonia was a treat to photograph.  Full of attitude and mischief, she was a ham in front of the camera- and we had a blast!  I loved how she rocked her glasses, but was even happier when she pulled them off to show her big blue eyes!  I can’t wait until she is a senior!

Sonia- thanks again for allowing me capture your true personality. If you hadn’t been “you”- the pictures wouldn’t be nearly so good… and I think they rock! I hope you do as well
