Jennifer and John got married!! YAHOO!!! {Georgia wedding photographer}

I am so excited to share this wedding preview!!  This wedding was beautiful. Every wedding is beautiful, really. But this one...this one I knew would be REALLY gorgeous. Why? Because Jennifer is one of my bestest friends and I know she has incredible taste! I mean geez!? We wouldn't be friends otherwise, right?! ha ha  I've photographed Jennifer before so most of my blog followers should remember the really fun engagement session I did of Jennifer and John at the Cherokee County Fair in Canton in October (I think.). Honestly, I love that session! I want to do a family session with my kids at a Fair! I've been inspired, once again!
So, for anyone new that's reading my blog (Welcome!), Jennifer is one of my awesome ZTA sorority sisters. She and I met at Valdosta State University way back when. I'd definitely say our friendship is one of a kind. She and I have always been honest with each other. We've had our moments...believe me! Two hard headed women are bound to butt heads once in a while! lol  But, there is always a level of respect and it's always out of love. We might have needed a few days to cool off here and there, but in the end, she's my friend. If I need her to listen, she will. If she needs me, I'm here. :) Which was why I was especially excited I was able to save her some crazy wedding day stress.  J & J got married on a Sunday. It worked out perfectly for me in theory. The 2 weeks prior to their wedding were crazy! I shot a wedding, did sessions in Milledgeville and Atlanta, went to Savannah for a little girl time (Sugarland concert was awesome! But it had been planned MONTHS ahead of time...if I'd known that week was gonna be off the chain, I probably would have passed. But...it was paid for and you know how that goes!), came back to Milledgeville to shoot a wedding on Saturday and was heading to Barnsley Gardens in North Georgia on Sunday to watch as my girl married the love of her life. Very busy, but each event was awesome and well worth it! Saturday morning Jennifer called me. And it was early. She's pretty aware that I'm a night owl and mornings aren't always my best time! haha  I don't remember if I answered or called her back, but when I got her on the phone I could hear the panic in her voice. Her photographer had broken her foot.  She didn't know what to do. Well...I KNOW WHAT TO DO!! TA DA! Your best friend is a wedding photographer. She is coming to your wedding. She is now going to be your wedding photographer. Easy peasy. No question. She was worried about me not enjoying myself and didn't want me to be "working". Well, I'm pretty sure most wedding photographers feel the way I do....when you go to a wedding without your camera you feel totally lost.  I had every intention of shooting parts of the wedding anyway, so really...my plan wasn't changing all that much. What was happening is that I was given the opportunity to give something awesome to one of the people in my life that has meant the most to me. Jennifer has been a true friend to me. She probably knows too much...no, she definitely knows too much! Now I was going to be able to put my creativity and talent into something for her and John to have forever! I was thrilled. I was honored. I was excited. All of those things plus more! :) God had blessed me with a fantastic friendship and I couldn't wait to use the talent God has given me to do something for my friends.
So...I will now shut up. If I keep gushing over how excited I was to be able to do this for Jennifer and John I will just get all emotional. This little redhead ain't got time for tears right now!! So...enjoy this preview of their gorgeous, beautiful, perfect day! The only thing that would have made this a little better would have been if I could have fit myself in their suitcases and gone with them to photograph their Honeymoon trip to Ireland! I mean, it'd been a heck of a sacrifice, but I've had done it for my girl! ;)

Love y'all!!
