I'm almost done playing catch up on the weddings I've photographed the last few months.

These images are from Missy and Will's wedding at Monmouth Plantation in Natchez. Interestingly, the last two weddings I've photographed have been at Monmouth. I'll be posting the second very soon.

I had a great time with Missy and Will, and have to say, their's was one of the most laid back weddings I've ever photographed. The wedding was held at the end of July, so it was a bit warm, but that didn't stop anyone from having a blast. The power went out about an hour or so into the reception, but that, too, failed to stop the party or dampen spirits. They just pulled out an ipod and a jam box (can't believe I just typed that!) and kept the music going. And 90 minutes later when the power returned, so did the band. I was really impressed with how everyone didn't seem to miss a beat and just enjoyed the evening for what it was -- a wonderful gathering of friends and family.

As an added bonus, a few of the guests were friends of mine that I'd not seen in nearly fifteen years. Seeing old friends when you're not expecting to do so is always a nice reminder of how small the world really is. And reliving wonderful memories -- well, that never gets old.

Thank you Missy and Will for allowing me to document your day.

Well, it took me a few days to get back to Caroline and Joe's wedding thread, but I made it!

Here are a few images from their wedding. They were married in New Orleans back in July. The ceremony was held at the beautiful Trinity Episcopal Church with a wonderful reception right off of Jackson Square at Muriel's.

Thank you Caroline and Joe for allowing me to document your day.

More from Caroline and Joe's wedding:

After spending the afternoon with Caroline creating her bridal images, we headed downtown to meet Joe. We walked around for just a bit, starting at the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge. Apparently that is the spot to go in Nashville, as there were several other photographers working there at the same time!

Here are a few of the images from the session. Hope you enjoy them. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Continuing on with my "catch-up" from a busy spring and summer, I've got quite a few images from Caroline and Joe's wedding in July I'd like to share with all of you. I'm going to break them down into a few posts though, as it would probably be too many images to share all at once.

First, here are a few images from Caroline's bridal session. I went to Nashville in June (that's where she and Joe live) to work with her in creating these. We spent most of the afternoon at Cheekwood-Botanical Garden creating bridal portraits, then met Joe a bit later downtown for a quick session with the two of them.

The engagement session will be next, followed by images from the wedding in New Orleans. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Wow, how quickly the summer passes. It seems like just yesterday we were in the midst of spring weather. Baseball was just beginning and the weather was warming up. now, it's football season. Baseball is nearing its post season, and (hopefully) things are cooling off a bit. Yet, I still have work to blog that was created last spring!

With that in mind, I'd like to share a few images from Mary Katherine and Peter's wedding.

I first met Mary Katherine's dad a few years ago when he asked me to create some image for his law firm walls. What a beautiful town Laurel is. I had such a great time exploring it while working on that project, and I was very excited when they asked me to come back to photograph the wedding this past May.

The ceremony was held at the First Baptist Church and the reception was at the Laurel Train Depot. Flowers by Catherine Strange and John David Williams of Fearless Entertaining.

Mary Katherine and Peter, thank you for allowing me to document your wedding. I had a blast.
