Chris and Becky are married

I normally try to get some pictures up a few days after I take pictures, but I was out of town at Rock Eagle most of last week with the 7th graders at my school. Last weekend, I shot pictures at Chris and Becky's wedding in Dunwoody. Unfortunately, it was raining throughout the day, so we took all of our pictures inside, but we still had a lot of places to take pictures throughout the church. Chris and Becky were a sweet couple to take pictures of. They had a very intimate wedding as well as a nice reception at Aldo's Italian Restaurant in Sandy Springs. Towards the end of the night, everyone had a great time dancing and hanging out! :) Thanks to Katy Swilley who came and helped me out for the day!

I liked Becky's something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue...

She had this sewn into the inside of her dress.





Becky's mom is a very talented seamstress and worked along with another woman to make Becky's dress and veil. It was beautiful!





So at the church, I was not allowed to be inside of the chapel at all. They closed the doors and I could not go in and take pictures. There were windows that allowed me to look in, but I could not see anything, because they were "fogged" over. When the "nice" wedding coordinator walked away for a few minutes, I opened the door for a quick peek and a quick picture! Haha!!

Quick pictures with Becky's niece! She was such a cute little girl!






Becky is from Peru, so much of her family who came to the wedding were of Peruvian heritage as well. The Hispanic music was so much fun and had me dancing while taking pictures! With some late night dancing, everyone got down on the dance floor and had a great time!

The Olson Sisters

And no... these aren't pictures of Mary-Kate and Ashley. :) (I know, I'm lame.) This week, I met with a former student of mine, Bentley, to take pictures of her and her sister, Merritt. Bentley was such a joy to teach last year and her mom and I kept in touch after the school year. I called their mom, Elizabeth, a few weeks ago to see if they would like some pictures done. She happily agree and we met on Monday of this week to take pictures. It was great getting to see Bentley again and hearing how high school is going for her. We had a great time taking pictures! I have never seen a set of sisters get along so well! You might recognize the spot where we took pictures, because it is the same place Katy and Ken got married in my last set of pictures.




First Merritt on Bentley's back...

...now time to switch! :)
