Bryan and Teagan got married!! {Georgia wedding photographer}

Last weekend was another beautiful wedding! I traveled to South Ga (Camilla to be exact) to photograph the wedding of Bryan and Teagan. If you follow my blog you will remember their engagement pics from early March. (Click here to see them!)  It was a gorgeous wedding in one of the most beautiful churches I've ever seen! Believe me, when you enter a church with wedding pictures in mind it can be a bit daunting. You just never know what kind of decor/lighting/set up you will find. I was pleasantly surprised when we got there! Teagan had mentioned the beautiful stained glass windows and was she ever right! The windows were breathtaking.

The happy couple is honeymooning right now, but I keep seeing her pop up on Facebook so I wanted to get this preview up for them today. I hope ya'll are having a wonderful trip celebrating your first days as husband and wife. I truly enjoyed meeting y'all and sharing in your special day. Congratulations! :)

There's a lot of love for this princess! {Milledgeville Family photographer}

Recently I have donated several silent auction packages to help support local schools. I sent two to John Milledge Academy and one to John Hancock Academy. Angela was the first winner to get in touch with me. She won the session at JHA's auction. Thank you, Angela! Now here's a little story about our session yesterday at the Greenway. :)

Angela has 3 absolutely gorgeous kids! Two boys, Timothy and Caden (of course, now I realize I don't know if that's spelled right! Please correct me if I'm wrong, Angela!), and a sweet new princess, Josie. Josie is just now 4 months old. She is beautiful!! She absolutely has the cutest little dimple that I've ever seen. When Angela called she said she wanted some images of sweet Josie and her two handsome big brothers. Let me say this....Josie is the most loved little sister on the planet! Her two big brothers adore her.  They were wild, crazy, fun little boys but when it came to their little sister they couldn't have been any sweeter. I hope y'all enjoy this little preview of our session. I had a wonderful time!

















Here are two outtakes I couldn't resist!! You never knew when a brother would have to come love on his little sister! So sweet! :)

Kaytlin LOVES me!! FINALLY!! {Georgia child photographer}

Today was an AWESOME day!!  Some old friends of ours from Atlanta brought their daughter, Kaytlin, down to Milledgeville for us to do her 3 year photos. This was my 3rd official session with Kaytlin and she was the flower girl in Elizabeth and Jake's wedding in November. So I've worked with this pretty girl for a while. :)  Typically Kaytlin gives me "a run for my money". Cute as a button, but she makes me work hard for her smiles. Today, we had a major breakthrough!! She let me hold her hand, give her a hug and play with her. YAY!!! I can't tell you how exciting this is!! Don't get me wrong, she still had me running after her like a crazy woman. But, it was so worth it. :) Here are a few images from today. I especially love the last one. She truly rocks the Yo Gabba Gabba DJ Lance Rock hat! My kids got it a few months ago and wouldn't dare let it touch their heads. But Kaytlin wore that thing forever. We let her take it home with her and last I saw her she was rockin' it hardcore! :)
Troy and Jenica, thanks so much for coming to hang out with us today. Eva loved having a picnic with Kaytlin. :) Come back soon!

Mr. and Mrs. Cross....gorgeous...{GA Georgia Wedding photographer}

This weekend was quite an adventure!! It was Milledgeville Baldwin's Junior Miss weekend AND the wedding of Patrick and Allison. It's not unheard of to book 2 things in one weekend. It was the 3 hr travel time between Milledgeville and Albany that proved I was a little bit crazy. :) Crazy is good, I say! :)

Anyhow...I traveled to the town of Newton (look it up...)  to shoot the wedding of Patrick and Allison. Thankfully I had my brother, Tyler, with me! Those that know me well know that I am directionally challenged. EXTREMELY challenged!! Even with a GPS I will get lost. So, thinking I have this thing covered with my TomTom and my iPhone Navigator what could possibly worry me about getting to the wedding at our agreed upon time, right??? WRONG!!!  When TomTom said turn left, iPhone said turn right. One said turn around, the other said go straight. If Tyler hadn't been there with me, who knows where I might have ended up. OH, and let's not forget to mention that in most parts of that area I have little to no service on said iPhone. Not only was I lost, I couldn't get ahold of anyone on the phone. BUT, we did get there! 30 minutes late...booo! I was pleasantly surprised to find that Allison was the most laid back happy bride. She was ready to roll with it and we did...and I must say that I love these images!! Happy bride + happy groom + beautiful location + awesome families= GORGEOUS images!! I just couldn't stop shooting!! My flash overheated during the reception and that has never happened before!! I have been working on this preview on and off all day long. I just couldn't limit my favorites...so here are some I immediately LOVED!!
Thank you, Allison and Patrick for allowing me to be a part of your special day. Ya'll are truly an incredible couple. Your love for each other is more than obvious. And thank you to your families for being so wonderful, as well! I really enjoyed being there!!  Enjoy these and I will put these plus a few more on my Shana Cawley Photography Facebook Fan page.

The beautiful Bride




She and Patrick chose to see each other before the ceremony. I love when couples do this! Look at the excitement on her face. She was truly like this all day long! And this beautiful location is her parent's home...yeah, I thought about staying. :)







So sweet!



They adore each other so much.

Sharing one of many hysterical moments with her brother, Collier. :)

Really...can you GET cuter than this!?!?



Such an ideal spot to get married....truly a vision of God's beauty!



A stolen kiss from her new husband....



Meet the Cross family...aren't they a good lookin' bunch!?



The mother sister bond is so awesome! I love how this turned out! I asked them to
kiss Allison on the cheek. (totally cheesy, but I knew it would get what I wanted!)

Congratulations, Allison and Patrick!!!
