She was a little uncertain about what was going on when she first woke up.

But she checked things out and was her normal, happy-self in no time.

Seriously, she’s one of the happiest babies ever!

No doubt she knows she’s incredibly loved from her Mom and Dad!

These next few are probably two of my favorite kid photos of the year! Thanks to Hannah’s parents for trusting me when I asked if I could put their daughter middle of the coffee table!

Hannah was not impressed at first when we bundled her up to get a few shots outside.

But she came around!

Up first, the gorgeous details.

Emily, just as she was in her bridals, was absolutely stunning.

This image sums up Emily’s calmness the entire time she was waiting to marry Brandon.

Brandon and the guys spent time getting ready upstairs before they headed outside for photos in the snow with Higs.

One of the things I loved that Emily & Brandon did prior to their ceremony was steal a few minutes alone together, but stood on opposite sides of a door so they didn’t see each other.

An embrace between Emily & her dad just before walking down the aisle.

Emily & Brandon were all-smiles after saying “I do” and walking back down the aisle.

It was so sweet when Emily & Brandon went back into the sanctuary so they could walk their parents out after the ceremony.

Up next, part two of Emily & Brandon’s wedding, including their Just Married session and reception images!

Nathan loves his daddy!

This is such a fun age for photographs. They’re slightly mobile and want to explore everything, but can’t run away from you yet!

Biiiiig yawn! It’s hard being the center of attention!

Renee is such a beautiful mother.

Ha! Love Nathan’s “over it” expression!

Be sure to check out Renee & Jonathan’s McCardell Photography blog and website.

I love these next few. Andrea & Michael were amazing. The light was amazing. And the Fall breeze decided to cooperate!

This is perhaps one of my favorite images ever. I think I squealed when I saw it in-camera!

Andrea & Michael look like they should be on a cover a of a bridal magazine!

Love!

While I was getting this…

…Higs was getting this!

They’re so cute!

Andrea & Michael’s four-tier wedding cake was incredible!

It wasn’t until I got up close to shoot the details that I realized the flowers on the cake were hand-made from sugar!

Andrea wore a white fur wrap for the cocktail hour on the balcony of the Ballantyne Country Club.

A variety of friends and family gave very beautiful and personalized toasts which brought on both laughter and tears.

Andrea & Michael had a beautiful first dance…

…which was interrupted by a surprise Lady Gaga detour…

…and then ended back on a romantic note!

Andrea’s dance with her father was also very beautiful and moving.

Congratulations Andrea & Michael! We had a blast and cannot thank you enough for letting us document such a beautiful day!

No denying Travis loves his bride!

We were just a few days past peak color on the trees, but luckily some color hung around for us.

I think these two images are my favorite of the day.

Typically, we try to shoot with natural light as much as possible, but because there was very little to be found that evening, we utilized what artificial light we could find and tried some things that were out of our comfort zone. We can’t thank Ann & Travis enough for going with the flow and being up for whatever!

Hello, gorgeous! I can’t decide which ring shot I like better, and chose to post both because I think they compliment one another.

Congratulations, Ann & Travis! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your day and best wishes for years of happiness!
