Ashley & James's Chattanooga wedding

Who doesn't love a Thursday wedding? Ashley and James were married recently in Chattanooga at the Patten Chapel and the DoubleTree. We were thrilled to photograph their wedding!

James was actually a groomsman in Jon and Sandra's wedding that we photographed in Florida about five years ago.









Isn't she a beauty?




James is pretty cool too. ;-) He told me that he had been practicing so that he'd look good in front of the camera. I appreciate him trying to make my job easier. I guess he's thoughtful like that.




I love these next two:




Ashley and Chip as they enter the back of the church








At the DoubleTree we were able to get some fun portraits.






One of my favorite images of the day is this one, grabbed while everyone was watching a slideshow of Ashley and James' childhood.


Congratulations Ashley and James. Your wedding was beautiful and it was a joy to be there with you on such an exciting day. We wish you God's richest blessings as you begin your new life together.

Lani & Scott's Winter Park (Orlando) wedding

It's always an extra special treat when a bridesmaid from a previous wedding hires us for her wedding. I first met Lani at Maureen and Colin's wedding in 2006, and of course we were thrilled when she called to tell us that she was getting married.



The beautiful bride...










Married!


The florals were done by the talented Tommy Murphy from Greenery Productions


The newlyweds


I love the Winter Park Racquet Club




Lani's father also celebrated his 60th birthday that day


Lani and Scott's wedding was coordinated by the lovely and talented Dawn from Tickled Pink Brides. We always love working with the gals at Ticked Pink!

Thanks Lani and Scott for letting us be involved in your special day. It was truly an honor and we wish you many years of happiness and blessings together.

Joy's new Cobblestone Rue blog will highlight a variety of things ranging from children's fashion, simple in-kitchen recipes, great family vacation spots, favorite boutiques and shopping excursions, interviews with notable moms, amazing giveaways and more. I couldn't be more excited for her and proud of her.

Please check in frequently as she will update often. Cobblestone Rue blog promises to be an exciting adventure.

Kristy and Johnny's e-session, just outside of Chattanooga

There's a beautiful field that I started riding past on my bike route last summer. At 7 am the summer light coming across the tall misty grass is extraordinary. So I was excited when Kristy and Johnny said they wanted to shoot somewhere outdoors and in the country.

















Thanks again, Kristy and Johnny. You guys did great! We're really excited about your wedding next July in Norway!

Allison and Reid, married in beautiful Captiva

Ally and Reid could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding in Captiva, and we were thrilled to be there with them at the always fun Tween Waters Inn to celebrate.










Congratulations!!!!


There's something so comfortable and satisfied about Ally's expression here. I love it.


In case you're wondering, no, they are never not laughing.


Sunset...kind of




Hey, the guy likes his cake, so what?!?!


Thanks, Ally and Reid for letting us be a part of your special weekend. It was an honor to spend time with your amazing family and friends. We wish you all the best with your upcoming move to New Jersey. Cheers!
