Chic Country Wedding: Charmayne + Patrick

I was truly honored to be a part of this wedding day.

September is one of my favorite fall months to shoot in.

The weather is always amazing and the day's are perfect.

I knew there was going to be a lot of love 

and positive energy surrounding this day

with so many wonderful family members and friends in attendence.

It makes me love my job that much more, when I see family and friends

supporting the decision this young couple has made to love one another endlessly.

Everyone there had a story or memory of Charmayne and Patrick.

And I'd be lying if I said I didn't tear up a time or two.

(I'm a bit of a softy when it comes to love and weddings)

We also had a few laughs from the grooms brother to lighten the day.

Over all, I'd say the day was flawless. 

Thank you C & P for letting me share this day with you.

Franzia's Quinceanera = Poplar Bluff, MO

I had the honor of documenting

the quinceanera of Franzia

 a couple weekends ago in Missouri.

It was a day of celebration in her honor.

I can't explain the love her family has for her.

I was truly blessed to witness the love,

joy and happiness that surrounded the day.

It was a day full of events, all in Franzia's honor.

From her walking down the aisle with her parents,

the blessings,

the giving of the cross pendant,

butterfly release and horse drawn carriage,

 outfit changes and 

choreographed dance,

confetti guns, pink anything,

gorgeous pink decor and centerpieces,

two bands including a mariachi,

3 candy bar tables full of nothing but pink treats,

a cotton candy maker with pink cotton candy,

marble slab creamery,

the father-daughter dances,

 a photo booth, 

an endless buffet of delicious food,

tons of sequins, glitter and

rhinestones dripping off of everything,

and last but not least (my favorite) 

a combined height in

 high heels, so high it could

equal no less than 100 feet. 

No joke, I was in shoe heaven,

wishing I could just look at a pair

and they would magically appear in my

closet. Sadly, it did not work. ;)

Anyways,

to say the least the day was perfect and pink.

I enjoyed being apart of this family

for such a joyous celebration.

Thank you for allowing me to capture your memories.
