Double header wedding weekends are kind of tough. shooting Saturday and then getting up and shooting again on Sunday and be challenging physically and mentally but Amber and Hart made a double header completely worth it!

I remember the moment right after Amber and Hart were pronounced husband and wife and they spent the first moments alone, as a married couple. Tears were streaming down Amber’s face as Hart held her close and told her how beautiful she was. Hart might look tough and strong on the outside but inside he has one of the biggest hearts and that heart is filled with love for Amber.

We are so glad that we had the chance to spend a beautiful October day with Amber and Hart, their friends, and their family. Much love was shown that day and it continues to be shown in their life together.

To many more happy years together, Happy First Anniversary Amber and Hart!

Cheers,
Savannah and Philip

I can’t believe that it has been a full year since Ben and Gresh’s wedding! It was a glorious October day when they joined their lives to one another.

Over the past year we have had the privilege of becoming dear friends with Gresh and Ben. As we have spent time with them we have seen the awesomeness that makes them such a great couple. Together these two light up a room and can make any event fun and enjoyable. We are so honored that they have allowed us to be part of their lives and see them grow in their love for one another.

Here is a look back on their beautiful day:

The first time we met the Gorman family we fell in love with them. Ainsley, her sister Gresh and their mom all came in to see us about the two weddings they would be planning just 6 weeks apart. I know of few sisters who can plan their weddings so close together and be so incredibly happy for each other. As the each talked about their wedding they all shed tears of happiness for each other. The love that this family had for one another was contagious and later we got to see the love that Ainsley had for Jason.

The day of Ainsley and Jason’s wedding was absolutely perfect. The bride and groom were both super excited to see each other and spend the entire day together. They surrounded themselves with their dearest friends and family members and together they joined their lives to one another.

After our first meeting with the Gormans I told Philip that I wanted to be a part of their family and that wish came true. From day one their family took us in, loved on us, and treated us like we were a part of them. We have come to love Ainsley, Jason and their
family so much. We were honored to be a part of their day and we are honored that they call us friends!

Ainsley and Jason, thank you so much for allowing us into your lives! We have loved every minute that we have been able to spend with you and we can’t wait till the next time we see you. Your love for one another is beautiful, contagious, and something to be admired. Thank you for being our friends! We love you.

I love this image of Ainsley’s sisters Gresh and Allison right before they walk down the aisle. Priceless.

From the moment he first saw her to their first kiss as husband and wife, Ricky couldn’t stop smiling. Laura and Ricky’s wedding day was one of the hottest we have ever photographed but nothing stopped these two from showing their love for one another. I remember laughing and giggling with them as we had their portrait time and watching two individuals who were completely in love with each other.

Over this past year Ricky and Laura have become dear friends of ours! We love every single minute we get to spend with them. Sadly those minutes are few since they now reside in Ireland. But no worries, we will just go visit them . Over this year even from a distance we have been able to see their love for one another grow and grow. We got to see them around Christmas time and it was so amazing to see that the sparks of newlywed life were still very alive in their lives.

Laura and Ricky,
We love you both dearly and we are so glad that we are able to call you both friends! We have loved getting to watch all your journeys and adventures together and we cannot wait to come visit in Ireland. We are coming!!

Happy first anniversary guys!

Cheers,

Throughout high school she swore she wouldn’t go to Union University for college. All her family had gone before her and she wanted to do something different. But come end of senior year Alli was headed to Union. And there was a very specific reason why she was supposed to attend that school, it was to meet Gentry.

The story of how they fell in love is full of laughter, a few tears, and most importantly both falling head over heals in love with one another. We have watch their relationship grow from friendship to a life together as one and it has been a great joy watching Alli and Gentry’s love story.

Their wedding day was absolutely perfect in every way. I remember Alli being so nervous to see Gentry but as soon as she was in his arms all nerves were put aside and they enjoyed one of the happiest days of their lives.

Alli and Gentry,

Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your day! I cannot believe that it has been a year now! We are so proud of all you guys have done together and we cannot wait to see what the future has for you. We were honored to be a part of your wedding day, but we are even more honored that you have allowed us to be your friends.

Here is to 100 more happy anniversaries together!

Cheers,
Savannah and Philip
