Love some good details :)

I'm stepping back in time a little because some of my favorite pics are from getting ready. It was the best location for getting ready I've ever seen! We were on the porch of Bunnie's cabin. The porch overlooked the lake and mountain but most importantly we had natural light and shade! I cannot stress how important light and especially location are for the getting ready shots ----- Brides, think about where you are getting ready and how it will look on camera.

Mae and Winston were front row during the ceremony. Winston was passed out for most of it! I think B&D had to step over him on the way out!!

Last dog pic... too bad if you are sick of it... it's all about Bunnie and Daniel and they LOVE their babies!

At the end of the reception Bunnie and Daniel thanked everyone for being there. I'm not sure exactly how it happened but someone said something like, "Bunnie sing something!" Bunnie's claims to not be a singer and at first she was quiet before breaking out into full song, "You put your right foot in, you put your right foot out..." and sang like all 67 verses of the Hokey Pokey - really funny. She said afterwards, "That might be the most spontaneous thing I've ever done." Doubt it :)

And bird seed everywhere! The end. Bunnie & Daniel, hope you guys had a great honeymoon! We love you!!

We just got back from my friend's Bunnie & Daniel's amazing wedding at the High Hampton Inn in Cashiers, NC. It was a whole weekend filled with events and LOTS of laughs. There was so much to shoot at this wedding and so, so much I want to post - it's going to be tough to narrow it down.

Let me first start off with the place and tell everyone about Friday - all I can say is WOW!

First, look what awaited us when we checked it - the cutest cabin you've ever seen! Outside our room we had a screened in sleeping porch that overlooked the lake - loved it!

The High Hampton looks like scenes straight out of Dirty Dancing.  This is the view from the site of the ceremony - amazing!

Friday afternoon the girls headed over to the Chattooga Club for the bridal luncheon, followed by spa treatments... (I went with the girls, Dan went with the boys)

Bunnie, Paige Moncier, Sarah Long, and Rachael Sullivan

And the boys played a round of golf at the High Hampton... Nice shot Daniel!

Then everyone got ready for the rehearsal dinner. Here are a few of Bunnie and Daniel. I loved Bunnie's dress, she got it at Bliss in Knoxville.

And of course Mae, their new Bulldog puppy, who was a flower girl on Saturday :)

Yes, she's real.

On to the rehearsal dinner...

And speeches...

And then, well, I don't even know what to say about this - LOL. There were several entertainment acts preformed by Meg, Bunnie's mom's best friend, and her two daughters.... Towards the end of the night, they busted out in Bunny and Chick costumes to the tune of Elton John's 'Benny and the Jetts'. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Dan and I turned to each other and said "We've seen it all!" Once the Bunny and Chick came out, there was a an impromptu dance party - hilarious.

The next morning Bunnie and several friends decided to Polar Plunge into the lake. They jumped from one dock, swam to another, jumped in again and swam back. I was on the first dock and Dan was in a paddle boat. One unafraid swimmer went in a little early, I think by accident...

The second jump...

Jumpers: Bunnie, David, Ellen (Bridesmaid), Jeni, Josh, Rachael (Bridesmaid), and Sarah (Reader)

And yup, that is me - fixing hair!! Bunnie asked me the week before the wedding if I would do it because this place was kinda in the middle of nowhere and there was no one else. So when I told Dan I was going to do it and he was like, "Since when do you know how to do hair?" I was like, "Dan, I'm like known for doing hair! - Duh!" It was a lot of pressure but Bunnie is so laid back I didn't freak out too much!

And this is Claire Poole, who in 5 minutes learned how to curl with a flat iron so that she could do my sister's hair...My sister, Rachael, was a bridesmaid.

Paige took a picture of Bunnie while she was putting on her dress. It was a naked picture and the whole day Bunnie kept saying, "Paige has a naked picture of me on her phone and she won't delete it!" So funny...

We didn't have a big mirror out there so Bunnie kept using the reflection in my camera lens to check herself out - Ha! Here they are lacing up her dress.

Beautiful Bunnie,

We also did a session with Lauren's parents, Pastor Kenneth Carpenter and Penny Carpenter of the First Apostolic Church of Maryville. They are using this image for a billboard for their church. Carpenters, you were a pleasure to work with! Best to you all!!
