Liz+Andrew

Wow wow wow! Liz and I met my freshman year of college and we graduated college this year! When I found out that Liz was engaged.. and then married, I knew I was going to take pictures of her and her new fiancé no matter what!

Below are some of my favorite pictures of them and I hope everyone loves them just as much as I do. I really do think that their love shines through their personalities and it's a beautiful sight to see the two of them together!

Happy Monday (Merry Christmas) :)

Gabi | Senior (Full Post)

Hello world, yes I am still alive. In the past month I have:
-finished my first semester of my second year of college
-finished about 3+ sessions of photography
-worked a ton more
I worked really hard on all of those things and with that being said, one thing had to take a small break and that was my blog :( But now since I am back in school and have taken on a smaller load on my plate, I am able to continue blogging on a monthly basis!

So enough about me, on to the Gabs!

This is the full post on Gabi! She is a senior at Talawanda High School, a saxaphone-ist on the marching band, part of the mock trial team, and helps out with kids with disabilities after school! Gabi is one of my best friends, and she has been since her freshman year of high school. It was an honor taking her senior pictures and capturing her beauty!

Happy Thursday!

EVERYBODY, I SHOT MY FIRST WEDDING UNDER BRIANNA NIXON PHOTOGRAPHY!!!

It was so extremely awesome having it all to myself and picking out poses that I thought the bride and groom would love. I got to choose my second shooter, and of course I had to pick someone with a close eye to me since the bride liked the pictures that I had taken at my cousin's wedding. So after debating back and forth, I had chose Gabi. She did such a great job with handling things and listening to me and coming up with her own ways, I think that I'll keep her as my second shooter. After all, she did help me with Casey's. And she did such a great job with that too! So I know I have been waiting to post this so I could have as many pictures possible on here, but I can't wait any longer! (Oh and I shot this wedding at the end of August, and yes, I just am now finishing it up... School has taken over my life)

Introducing Mr.& Mrs. Roy

This weekend my best friend, my partner in crime since '95, MY COUSIN got married to the man that makes her the happiest she's ever been. The bridesmaids got there at 11 am while the guys just lounged around until 1 pm when they were supposed to get ready. It was so wonderful being a part of her bridal party. I've become really close with her over the past few months and I'm so happy I could be there for her on her special day.

Here are some of the few pictures I was able to take. I had to get ready myself and she also had a photographer there and I didn't want to take up all the goodies!

Here's the link to the photographer at the wedding: http://mykindofyellow.blogspot.com/2013/10/pretty-brides-puppy-teeth.html .
She hasn't put up the photos from the wedding yet, but I will be sure to post the link when she does!

Okay, so my cousin made all of the center pieces and the cups for the bridal party. She worked so hard on them and all of her hard work paid off. Everybody loved them! We set up the reception room the night before and with almost all of the bridesmaids helping, we got done in just a few hours!

This is the day of the wedding, bright and early at 11 am. Aleshia, the maid of honor did Hailey's hair and was done in enough time to get ready herself.

Hailey did her own makeup because it was way cheaper!

That's Hailey's mom, Lisa. She couldn't have been more proud of her daughter.

Hailey couldn't put on her shoes so her mom had to help her. And see that girl in the back with the pretty hair, that's Celeste. She's one of the bridesmaids. She helped fixed Hailey's dress to make it fit how Hailey wanted it.

This is after she was done getting ready.
She couldn't stop smiling and looking at herself in the mirror.
Now her smile-- pure happiness.

Getting a few pictures before she's officially Mrs. Roy!

My absolute favorite of her. She was stunning.

Aleshia made all of the bouquets.

She even made the burlap roses! How awesome is that?!

One of Hailey's close friends face timed Hailey right before her dad came in for the first look. She was very emotional because this friend is down in Texas right now for Airforce Tech school. It was a very emotional time for everyone that hasn't seen her in a while.

That's her dad, Dean. Hailey was already in tears from face timing her friend and just seeing her dad made her even more emotional.

The bridal party!
