Katy and Matthew wedding preview

Katy and Matthew have been such a fun couple to photograph. Katy is gorgeous and is extremely photogenic.

Matthew's father is running for governor of Alabama in 2010. Click here for his website.

Katy's parents are great. My grandparents had a sign at their house (that Will and I now have at ours) that says, "The best thing a father can do for his kids is love their mother." That is so true, and Katy's parents definitely exemplify that!

Thanks for allowing me to be part of your wedding!







Matthew surprised his mom and walked her down the aisle. She thought Matt's brother was going to do it. What a great surprise!

Matthew's last name is Bentley. Katy tried to find a black Bentley for them to leave in but couldn't find one. Her parents found one for her and surprised her!


I feel the same way about Alabama, Katy!

I love pictures of a couple's first dance.

Katy's bridals

Bridal portraits are amazing! I love taking pictures of a bride before her wedding day in her gown. I met Katy at a beautiful house in Jackson for her portraits. Here are a few of her pictures.





This is the picture Katy chose for her bridal portrait...

Here it is framed at the reception...

Olivia and Parker Lipscomb

Olivia and Parker got married in July in Greenville, MS. They are such a fun couple - you may remember them from some of their engagement pictures. Here's a few of their wedding photos....












So I've never had this happen at a wedding, but a bridesmaid locked her knees during the ceremony and passed out! It was scary, but she quickly recovered.


The reception was at Parker's parents house in Greenville. It was beautiful.



How sweet is this picture Parker made for his dad when he was a kid?

Sutton

I photographed Sutton a few months back, and I was so excited when Emily emailed and said she was coming back to MS and wanted me to take Sutton's 1 year pictures. They live in South Carolina (Sutton's daddy is a football coach at the University of South Carolina). How cute is she? I mean, who doesn't love a pink tutu and pearls???

Kate and Ann Garvin Rush

I love being able to take pictures of siblings, especially if I photographed one before the other was born. I took pictures of Ann Garvin last May. Since then, her little sister, Kate, was born. The day I went to take pictures, Ann Garvin did not want me to take her picture. She's such a smart, observing child. Kate was precious and had the sweetest smile!
