{ Dance } Memphis wedding photographer

I could have danced all night!
I could have danced all night!
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things I’ve never done before.
I’ll never know What made it so exciting;
Why all at once My heart took flight. I only know when he
Began to dance with me I could have danced,
danced, danced all night!

- My Fair Lady

Editing The first dance…

Andrew and Catherine put on quite the show for us and I have a million photos of them dancing. The entire time humming this song.

I decided to get out of my comfort zone and shoot film along side my digital camera a few weekends ago. Once again I’m beyond excited with the results.

Here’s a screen shot

{ One Voice } Memphis Photographer

This is the sound of one voice
One spirit, one voice
The sound of one who makes a choice
This is the sound of one voice

This is the sound of voices two
The sound of me singing with you
Helping each other to make it through
This is the sound of voices two

This is the sound of voices three
Singing together in harmony
Surrendering to the mystery
This is the sound of voices three

This is the sound of all of us
Singing with love and the will to trust
Leave the rest behind it will turn to dust
This is the sound of all of us

This is the sound of one voice
One people, one voice
A song for every one of us
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of one voice

Most of you might remember the Miami Chic event with the Social Butterflies, Mahaffey rentals and Haute Horticulture at the Madison hotel ? Well The Pink Toast blog loved it so much she asked Karin to do her own shoot using items she had a t home or easily accessible for everyone to throw a party..
And this is what she came up with… Head over to The Pink Toast and see in detail how to throw your own party.

{ California }

A few weeks ago I went to visit my best friend in Sacramento.. It was my first time flying with Lola ALONE!!! I was beyond scared that she would scream the entire time and everyone would hate me… but to my surprise everyone else was more afraid than I was so every flight there and back the person next to us would move and we would get a whole row. so thank you guys.. she was awesome!! haaahaa

The first part of the trip was spent in Donner, Tahoe… I have to say I just love Tahoe it is beyond gorgeous.

The rest of the trip was in Sacramento. The last two days we went out and took a few photos of Kellie’s family..

So here they are.. an entire trip shot with film!!!

So hop on over there and leave some love.

And be on the look out for a full post of photos from my trip to California…

All film.. no editing.. I am beyond excited

Here is a sneak of Holly and Tripp’s wedding from yesterday.

{ Southern Peach } Memphis wedding photographer

I met Karin of Haute horticulture back in January at the Premier Bridal show.. and fell in love with her magical floral work she is a genius in my eyes. We immediately clicked and started brainstorming ways to work together and one way we came up with was to do inspiration shoots, this way we can both showcase our work… ( we have a mind blowing shoot were working on for the fall.. it’s pure fantasy )
Southern Peach was our brain child, we wanted Midsouth brides to see a gorgeous way to set up their wedding day, from the cake to the dress and lots of flowers in between.
This shoot would not be possible with out the help from these fabulous vendors:

Stevie from Premier Bride (and Allison for allowing us to do this shoot )
