The End of my 2016 Wedding Season!

It seems CRAZY to say that I’m done with weddings for 2016… most photographers are ramping up for their fall wedding lineup and I’m just wrapping up my last wedding of the year.  It’s not how I planned for things to happen, but each year is so different with how and when weddings fall that some days I just have to laugh!  At the beginning of the year, I was hoping the lack of fall weddings meant that we’d be having a baby in late October or early November.  Except that I tend to forget how God’s plans are generally very different from my plans :-)

I’m still not completely sure why I’m finished with weddings so early this year except that it’s freeing me up to do a few things I may not otherwise have been able to do.

  • Ben and I get to leave the country for our 5 year anniversary!  We did actually have a handful of inquiries for November 5 weddings, but since it’s our anniversary (and our 5th one at that!), we decided to not take any weddings that day.  And then the opportunity arose for us to travel to Paris again… which may not have happened if we’d not decided to NOT work on our anniversary this year!
  • I’ve booked a birth for November and another for December (or early January… their due date is December 31 so we’ll see when he decides to come!), which I may not have done if I’d had weddings those months.  This also means (if this NYE baby comes in December) that I’ll have shot 7 births this year!  How amazingly wonderful is that?!?  #ilovemyjob
  • Our weekends between now and Thanksgiving are full with family and friend things (and maybe 2 work/family things) :-)

All of that said, here’s a quick reminder that my Anniversary Mini-Sessions are coming up a week from Saturday!  I have THREE spots left, so check out all the details HERE!

I also have ONE spot left for a session in Paris the first week of November (anniversary, engagement, bridal, wedding, proposal… I’m up for any of these!).  So if you will happen to be there or know someone who will, check out this post HERE and email me for more details!

And because I’m editing Kayla and Nick’s wedding and DYING over these florals by Kayla’s grandmother…
I’ll leave this photo here for you guys today!

Mary Kathryn + Jamey | A Spartanburg Indigo Hall Wedding

The closer their wedding day got and the more she and I talked, the more excited we both got about their wedding day!  Mary Kathryn and Jamey put so much thought and work into their day, but everything was so organized that once the day arrived, the only thing that happened that wasn’t accounted for was how warm the weather was!

These two were so laid back and relaxed on their wedding day that it exuded to everyone else that was there to spend the day with them.  Smiles and laughter abounded and the only nerves that I saw all day long were in Jamey just before he saw his bride for their first look!  But all of those nerves were wiped away as he soaked her in and they began their wedding day together.

Their black and white black tie wedding was one for the books and I’m so excited to share it!  Between Mary Kathryn in her gorgeous gown and Jamey in his white dinner jacket and black bow tie, I have a feeling I’ll be sharing their images for years to come!

Thank you both so much for allowing us to capture your wedding day.  I hope Italy is still treating you well and that you’ve had some extra gelato for me and this baby while you’ve been there ;-)  Congrats again you guys!!

We took a short break inside from the heat, so we took full advantage of this stair case while we were there.

Mary Kathryn wanted some time with her parents before the ceremony so we did a First Look with her dad…
and it was the sweetest!!

They say “I love you to the moon and back” to each other, so they had moon pies for their guests to take home with them.

We Have a Name!

It seemed so much easier when I was younger to come up with baby names.  Of course I couldn’t be set on them since I didn’t know what my last name would be… or what my future husband might want to name our children either!

It also seemed way easier to name the first one than the second one.  The only stipulations we really had for our baby names were that they also work in French and Spanish (since I speak French and Ben speaks Spanish).  So, that limited us, but not tremendously.

All we knew when we found out it was a girl was that her middle name would be Grace.  God lavishly pours out His grace on us through His Son, even though we don’t deserve it.  And we want our daughter to have that with her for her entire life.  But coming up with a first name to go with it?!?  Holy cow!  We went through all kinds of names, some serious, some a little more funny, but when we landed on Isabella with the potential of calling her Isa (and Catherine calling her Isa), our hearts kind of melted.

So, we’re excited to introduce to you, in all of her (now) 19 week glory, Isabella Grace!
