Christina and Graham Ware wedding

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to take pictures at Christina and Graham's wedding.  Christina was a good friend at Berry, so I was very happy when she asked me last year to be apart of her wedding by taking pictures.  Christina and Graham got married in the historic town of Chickamagua, Georgia.  Being a full time Georgia history teacher, I know the significance that Chickamagua played in our state's history during the Civil War; but don't worry,  I will not be giving you a history lesson today!  I had a great time and had some great help from Kendall Hudgins.  Thanks Kendall for all the help!  :)  Oh... and there are a lot of pictures to look through!




Below is a picture with the crayons Christina had set out for the little kids to use with the coloring books.
Here is the front cover of the coloring book.





The girls jumping high... look at the air they got!
Now the guys turn!


We took Christina and Graham to the downtown part of Chickamagua and found a railroad track.  We took a lot of pictures there.  They were awesome and even willing to climb up onto a parked train! 






You may now kiss the bride... love how Graham dipped Christina!
First dance :)
The flower girl was the cutest!

Annie and Matt Aycock wedding

This weekend I had the chance to take pictures at a wedding, but not just any old wedding.  This wedding was for Annie Blackwelder and Matt Aycock.  Matt is a childhood friend of mine whom I grew up with all throughout elementary to high school.  We worked at Chick-Fil-A together and went to youth group together, so I was very excited to be apart of his wedding.  Their wedding was at Dunaway Gardens in Newnan.  It is such a beautiful and amazing place to get married and take pictures- a photographer's dream!  I was glad Carrie Jo of Texture Photography asked me to come and help her out.  Even though it rained most of the day, we were still able to get some pictures outside and even have the ceremony outside.  Annie and Matt made the most of the day with the rain!  :)



I loved the rings and flowers so much that I couldn't choose just a picture to show, so I posted a lot!









We found some caution tape and just had to use it in the picture!
They were laughing at me doing my stupid laugh I do a lot to get bridal parties to laugh.  They think I am completely stupid, but it works!  Gotta do what it takes to get a good picture!  Haha!
Some pictures from after the ceremony  :)



Annie was so much fun!  Right before the wedding, the bridesmaids were trying to figure out whether or not Annie should walk down the original center isle because there was so much mud.  Annie clearly stated that she was not going to wear the dress again, so she didn't care if she got mud on the dress; and boy did she get mud on her dress!  So she took advantage of it and suggested climbing into one of the goldfish pools!  She was awesome!!!




Annie was apart of Alpha Gamma Delta at West Georgia, and her sorority sisters were there to sing her a song at the reception.  I picked up that it is a tradition they do at all of their sisters weddings.  It was really sweet.
