Tabitha and Chris's Wedding Day

Well Sunday turned out to be a fantastically beautiful day for Tabitha and Chris's outside wedding!  They said their vows in front of friends and family at the Limestone Bay Trading Company in Mooresville, AL.

Long-time friends were bridesmaids and groomsmen....

 and they helped make it a fun day for the bride and groom.

Dee Green was the wedding director, and she provided the flowers, catering....

 and the gorgeous and delicious cake!

      
                                     

In a very historic little town, this is the cutest rustic venue ever!

The two Auburn graduates made their getaway through those unmistakable blue and orange shakers, off to a wonderful life together!  Congratulations Chris and Tabitha!

 

Emily and Michael

When she chose her wedding date, Emily wanted a beautiful October day, but forgot to specify that it should also be a warm day.  Brrr... Was it ever cold on Signal Mountain!

 

 I literally photographed her when she was an infant, and have photographed her many, many times since, both alone and with her family.  What a stunning, confident young woman she has become!

WOW!

They chose the Little Brown Church to unite their lives, tucked away in the woods and filled with history. 

Emily and her favorite girls were all decked out in their cowboy boots!

She just couldn't stop smiling!

 ...and they were off to their celebration in this marvelous old red Ford truck!!

 

Along the way, at Coolidge Park, she met up with her students at Coolidge Park from Normal Park Elementary to join in on the fun.

(I'm sure the kids never even knew she kissed him!)

What a fantastic couple, family, and day!

SMHS Cheerleader Calendar

We managed to stop traffic on the W Road just long enough to photograph this enthusiastic group.

For the second year we've happily given our time and resources and choreographed all the photography to support the cheerleaders at Signal Mountain High School.  They produce a calendar featuring themselves, Eddie the Eagle, and local businesses in our photographs to sell as a fundraiser.  It is awesome!

Cheer Camp is a fun time for SMHS future cheerleaders and a great opportunity to learn from the best.

 

 Eddie has a tough life!

Check them out and see a cheerleader to purchase the coolest 2014 calendar in the world and support the SMHS Cheerleaders.

Kristen and Robert got lucky!

...both when they found each other, and when the rain conveniently stopped for their wedding.

The church was beautiful and filled with the light of clearing skies.

Hurry!  We're going to miss the reception.

 

...and they're off!  The sun finally came out just at sunset.

Off to the Bahamas.  (I'm jealous!)

Martha and Nic's Excellent Day

Wow!  Another fantastic wedding, and this time the weather was spectacular!  Martha stressed for months that her wedding would get rained on.  Did not happen!  Martha got her wish!  The Tennessee River Place could not have been more beautiful under the bright, spring sun. 

What a joy to spend the day with her, Nic, and their families.  I've known Martha as family almost her whole life.

Cameron is ready for her CloseUP, now!

 

Nick and Martha were great together!   Their love for each other is obvious!

 Looks like someone has had a great party... and perhaps has Hawaii on their mind!

Chris and Lauren

Dr. and Dr. Mansolf... Has a nice ring, doesn't it?

Totally in love!

The Walden Club basked in the glow of the November sun.  The setting and party were awesome!

Note the Texas connection... They both went to Chiropractic school in Texas, hence the (Dressy white) boots!

Wonderful Windy City Wedding

Allison and Chase planned a spectacular wedding in Chicago on the first weekend in the fall.  The weather did not disappoint and neither did the celebration!

On the water taxi, heading to the Rehearsal dinner at Fulton's on the River.  The evening was breezy and the sunset was rich with color.

Rick was dapper and kept his chin up as he escorted his only daughter to her wedding ceremony!

The setting on the 16th floor terrace was spectacular!

When the view outside the ballroom was unveiled for all and the music serenaded the new couple, night had fallen, revealing the full Chicago skyline against another beautiful sky.

Yum!

Good idea, Chase!

Dave and Allison got married!

Rosie loves her aunt Allison!

All the girls in the family!

...so good together!  
What a blessing to have found each other!

Rainy, Sunny, Magical Wedding Day

Megan and Time got married on one of the rainiest, warmest, muggiest, sunniest, muddiest, foggiest, brightest days we've seen.  All you had to do was wait a while and the weather fairy provided something new.  It never stopped changing!  Despite the weather, all went well and the guests managed to get in and seated at beautiful Signal Mountain Presbyterian Church.  The ceremony was elegantly lighted by the candles in the aisle and the church was filled with glorious music.

Megan was radiant in her soft, flowing gown that seemed to glow like her eyes. The under layer of lace was exquisite.

So Beautiful...

...and SO much fun!

The Read House never looked so good!
