I met Andrew and Yumi earlier this year. Their story is so sweet. She is from Japan, and he is a world traveler. They met at Union University in Jackson, TN. I attend the Germantown campus for my masters program. So we had an instant connection. As a photographer, a couple like these two are a dream. She is such a gorgeous girl... One of the most gorgeous girls I've ever photographed. I'm so inspired by Asian culture, so a Japanese bride had me absolutely beside myself. Then you add Andrew... or should I say... Chris Pine. These two are bound to have beautiful babies. Andrew's dad officiated the ceremony. It was such an emotional ceremony. Andrew's face when he saw his bride walking down the aisle to him was priceless. Then, at the reception, Yumi (who is an incredible pianist) did a piano duet with her mom and then did a duet with Andrew. Andrew played the guitar in their duet. The song they played was Taylor Swift's Love Story, hence my song choice for their video below.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LIZZY!!! I TOTALLY meant to deliver your pictures on your birthday! I love you, sweet girl! I hope your day is as sweet as you. Now to the good stuff...S o this wedding was a unique one for me. I knew the whole wedding party. My brother-in-law was the best man. I've known these kids since they were in high school and seen them all grow up practically. Lizzy was adamant that she wanted me to take pictures the whole day, but then at the reception she wanted me to let my second shooter take over so I could get my crunk on. And, boy, did I get my crunk on. You will not be seeing those pictures. Ryan (the groom), told me last July that he would be proposing in August. I was there for the proposal, and I also did their engagement pictures. Now they are all grown up and married. I cried a lot at their wedding. The Maddox Foundation house in Hernando, MS was an absolutely stunning setting in Desoto County for their beautiful day. Though it did start off a little hectic with the rain - which ended up significantly cooling things down outside once the rain stopped - the day ended perfectly.

If you are looking for a cuteness overload, look no further. This sweet couple was so relaxed from the beginning to the end of their session. Jennie ROCKED her beautiful green dress. We started around their downtown condo, and then changed and made our way down to Riverside, Mainstreet, and South of Beale. They are getting married this fall at the new Beale Street Landing, and couldn't be more thrilled that they chose us to capture their wedding day. I can't wait to see how this couple's Memphis Wedding goes down! It's going to be a blast for sure! Check out some of my favorite images from their engagement session below. This is why I love photography.

Before I met Lauren, I didn't think it was possible someone could love Disney as much as my best friend and me. She kind of looks like a Disney princess, if I'm being honest. I realized this once she was all dressed up on her wedding day. Their wedding was at the gorgeous Kingsway Christian Church followed by a sweet ending at the beautiful Balinese Ballroom in Downtown Memphis.
