A Lake Wedding {Jen + Tommy}

I had such a wonderful day shooting this wedding with Hillary Gamble last month.  It’s a bit of a challenge to capture the essence of a wedding using words, I much prefer my lens.  But this wedding was simply beautiful.  Jen and Tommy chose the lovely Children’s Harbor at Lake Martin for their ceremony followed by a charmingly southern reception just down the road at The Stables at Russell’s Crossroad.  It was clear that the bride and groom did a wonderful job creating a wedding day that truly reflects who they are.

 

 

 

 

The bride and groom opted not to see each other before the ceremony.  We were able to capture their portraits on the way to the Stables.  Wooded trail and horse drawn carriage.  Perfect.

 

 

 

 

 

My favorite series of the day.

Jenn - Amazing photos, Lauren! Amazing! Made me get teary remembering my own wedding day.

An Engagement {Leslie + Greg}

Leslie contacted me a while back about her engagement session, and I was thrilled to finally meet these two this past weekend.  We weren’t sure if the weather was going to cooperate, but we met anyway and had a great (although a little chilly!) session.  These two lovebirds met at work and definitely wanted to incorporate their building and the surrounding courtyard into their session.  I love it when my couples bring their own story into our shoot.  I’m not interested in simply taking pretty pictures, but telling good stories as well!

 I love how Greg proposed.  He sat outside on the porch and told Leslie not to peak.  He was making a surprise for her.  Little did she know it was a BIG surprise…this sweet plaque with a cut-out just the perfect size for a ring!

 

These two are so giddy-in-love and obviously crazy over each other!

 

 

 

Congrats on your upcoming big day, guys!!

I {heart} Spring

More glorious, yellow spring flowers, as promised.  After getting rained out for our Friday afternoon sessions, Saturday brought it’s A-game.  Forty-eight hours and a couple of Claritin later I bring you some pretty, yellow sneak peaks.

Magical Spring Mini Sessions

“Magical light and beautiful yellow flowers everywhere” was the gist of the text my sweet friend sent last week.  She knows my style and is always on the lookout for good spots.  Oh man, did she ever come through!  We were headed out of town the next day, and I was trying not to dwell on the fact that it might all be gone by the time we returned.  Well, I packed Little Bit and my camera up this morning and trekked out to the spot…it is certainly still there in all its glory!  I am hoping the color will last through the week.

 

If you are interested in an early morning or sunset mini session this week in this beautiful spot shoot me an email (laurenwinter@bellsouth.net) and we will make it happen.

$75  {30 minute Session+Disc of 10 images in this setting}
