Congratulations Cara & Drew!

Somehow, I get blessed with the hottest and sweetest brides and grooms. From the moment Cara showed up to her and Drew's engagement session in leopard heels, I knew her wedding at Jekyll Island Club Hotel was going to be nothing less than fabulous! As I said in the previous post about using Cara as my new business card bride, she is seriously my hot pink soul mate. She also threw into the mix punches of hot green and yellow for a beautiful bright wedding day. However, the weather didn't want to cooperate at first, and after a few rounds of questioning if the wedding should be moved in doors, God finally parted the clouds and revealed His beautiful sunlight so Cara could have the outdoor wedding of her dreams as she walked down the aisle to her high school sweetheart, Drew.

Cara is a huge Sex and the City fan also, so we had fun recreating some hot "Carrie and Mr. Big" shots that were just in a recent Vogue editorial. All I can say is these two are going to have beautiful babies!

It was so hard to narrow down favorites of the day, but here are a sample and their slideshow below!




Were these the most fabulous shoes ever made? When I saw, them, I seriously jumped up and down! Cara's aunt handmade these rhinestone by rhinestone and surprised her with them as a wedding gift. And I'm SOOOO excited because I found out today that her aunt has offered to make me a pair as well!


Cara and Drew's pup, Peyton, ready for the party! Is he not the most adorable thing ever? (Shhh! Don't tell Rhett!)


I love when a momma cries!


Gorgeous! Yes, Cara's eyes are really that blue!


My new business card!
















After a rainy few hours, the sun finally came out just in time for the ceremony!




Peyton wanted to be part of the vows too!


A cool miracle story. Drew's grandparents (front row, far left) originally weren't going to be able to make it to the ceremony because they had car problems. But because of the rain pushing the ceremony back an hour, they were finally able to make it just in time for the new ceremony time! Is God good or what?








We were recreating one of her favorite shots from her engagement session!








Double the love!


The Vogue cover!


All her candy colored details!










With the ceremony pushed back for the rain, the reception had to get cut short, but DJ Joel Rabe of Lethal Rhythms still threw an awesome party!


A sparkling exit!

I, uh, also served as eyelash putter on-er, tie matcher, crouching tiger and dog handler amongst my many duties as photographer for the day. Just kidding, I had a blast and I love doing what it takes to the get best shot! A fab thanks for these candid shots from my second shooter and new friend Stacy Cross who flew all the way from Texas to share Cara and Drew's day.



It was so funny how my Trendy Camera Strap matched one of the trendy groomsman's tie!

Cara & Drew's album!

The most rewarding part of being a wedding photographer is giving each couple the gift of their wedding album when all is said and done. As an artist, it is fulfilling seeing the art I created coming together in one place to tell each couple's story, but for the couple, Cara couldn't have said it any better:

"Scarlett!

You are unbelievable! I just got done looking through our wedding album for like the 100th time since I've been home for like an hour. It is sooo incredible and I love it so much. It is like re-living each moment of our wedding every time you turn the page. You are the greatest and I am so glad you were such a huge part of our wedding day. Getting the album is kind of like coming full circle from the beginning of the entire planning process and I want you to know that you were one of the only things throughout the entire wedding planning that I WASN'T worried about. From day one you were so professional and understanding that I knew you were going to be a constant in my whirlwind of wedding planning. THANK YOU for that, from the bottom of my heart. Your wonderful Scarlett and we appreciate you so much.
Love,
Cara (and Drew too!)"

Sniff sniff. Her words above are why I do what I do. I feel so honored to serve in each couple's life through documenting their precious day and providing them their beautiful keepsake coffee table album.

Here's a few pics I grabbed of their album before I shipped it off and their album design below!








And the slideshow....

Cara & Drew are engaged!

I already posted Cara and Drew's recent engagement pictures on my old blog and got so many amazing comments from everyone, but I wanted to show them off a little longer here on the new blog. Plus, I simply adore them both and they are so supermodel hot, and those diva leopard high heels Cara is wearing deserves a longer spotlight. Enjoy their photos all over again!
