After 4 weeks of agonizing uncertainty, Dan and I finally closed on our new house and moved in last week. (But don't worry, we can still do all the engagement shoots we want out at the farm where we used to live!) And although the task of moving, unpacking, organizing and redecorating can seem a bit overwhelming, we're thrilled with our new abode :). Thanks so much for being patient with us as we've been a little slower than normal on updating our blog. We've got some really great stuff to post in the next few days, but until then here's something that will surely make you smile...

Oh, how sometimes I would love to wave a wand and have a magical, self-publishing blog. One that is fresh with new & beautiful pictures every day of the week! One with which each of our readers could sit down with their morning coffee every day and marvel at all of the happy couples and beautiful places we are so blessed to photograph. But alas, maybe I don't need a magic wand, the last goal of my day is now complete! I have finished editing this gorgeous wedding that I have been dying to publish for about a week.
It is such a rewarding feeling to finish editing a wedding and look back over the photographs and all of the memories that were captured - ah, the magic of photography!
Dan and I always agree (on this topic at least :)) that being a wedding photographer, in our opinion, is the absolute greatest job in the world... We get to work with people at one of the happiest times of their life, on one of the most memorable days of their life and create personalized art for people that (hopefully) encompasses the joy, love, spirituality and hope felt that day.
Now, without further delay... Welcome to the wonderful wedding of Lisa & Ben!
When we arrived in Linville, NC a few weeks ago to shoot Lisa & Ben's wedding at Eseeola Lodge we were quite thrilled with the scene that was set before us (see the image on the right). The light, location and love were all A++.
Now add in beautiful children & dresses. Sprinkle in a rustic arbor covered in flowers, beautiful sweet, sweet people, and touches of green. Oh I loved the green!
And finally, the best part of the day, the icing on the cake ;) - a super cool, down to earth, totally in love couple who we could easily hang out with every day of the week! All of the best circumstances we could ever ask for!
OH, and I almost forgot, an equally entertaining wedding party ;) Haha.
Simple beauty, casual elegance, here are some of our favorite shots of the day! Enjoy!
This just makes me smile :)
I normally post a wider shot of the bride walking down the aisle (so you get a good look at the dress and guests), but since it's a Friday night, let's spice it up! I think this one is far more interesting. It has great movement and I just love the look in her eye...
...almost as much as I love the look in his :)... That almost made me cry just now!
Lisa's mom and dad were just the nicest people you could ever ask to work for.
I always love the moments following the ceremony. Ben and his mother on the right.
Top left is the open-air pavilion at Eseeola where Lisa & Ben had their reception and I'm REALLY in love with it! Bottom right are my girls Michelle & Tyler who were guests and referred Lisa & Ben to us last year -- thanks girls!! (We luuuuve working with our friend's friends and client's friends!!) Y'all will see Michelle's engagement pics at Cades Cove in a couple of weeks and you might remember Tyler & Slate's wedding from May 2009. T, who is expecting a little girl in September, is seriously the most beautiful pregnant woman ever!
Ben is so cute and I want Lisa's lips! and eyes!
The first dance.
A really fun reception. We loved how everything photographed at night!
And rose petals for the exit! The end!!! Congrats Lisa & Ben!! Love to you both and thanks so much for having us!!! xoxo
