We have way too many beautiful images to sort through from Whitney and Jon’s wedding last Saturday, but while we do that, I thought I’d go ahead and share a few from the bridal session.  Whitney had a ceremony dress and a reception dress so she opted to have Jon join her for photos in the latter.  I absolutely love the idea because we were able to get awesome images of the couple at their reception location that wouldn’t have been possible on the wedding day.  So fun!

Here are a few of my favorites…

28 hours there, 26 hours back.

Phuket, Thailand is REALLY far away.

Having said that, Phuket is beautiful.

We photographed Priyanka & Mahesh’s amazing Indian wedding celebration over the course of four days and there is SO much to share!  For now, I’ve picked out a small handful of favorites.

The wedding took place at the 5 star JW Marriott Resort & Spa, which Conde Naste Traveler has rated as one of the best places to stay in the world.

The resort was fantastic, and it’s located directly on Mai Khao beach.

I love this silhouette image from our first day shooting their engagement session on the beach.

I love this closeup of Priya & Mash.

Priya’s wedding dresses were absolutely beautiful.  She mentioned that this dress weighs nearly 50 pounds!

Mel and I are known for our epic imagery and unique art featuring our couples; but lately we’ve been really striving to take our photojournalistic storytelling images to that same place.  I am very happy with what we’re seeing this year; bringing our epic/artistic style and fusing it with photojournalism.

I was on the sidelines as they entered their retro party reception, and I love how the spotlight just cut through everything to only highlight them.

Mel was at the back of the stage as they entered…  Her take on the same moment was amazing!

Priyanka and Mahesh, we so enjoyed meeting you and experiencing your absolutely amazing wedding together–and we can’t wait to share more!

James and Lara’s official union had been 10 years in the making. All that anticipation, planning, and excitement culminated in a beautiful June celebration at Belle Meade Plantation in Nashville. It was a the kind of day that is full of emotion with lots of hugs and tears of joy — a personal favorite for Sean and mine. :0)  Add in one gorgeous couple and an amazing team of wedding professionals led by Signature Events creating a seamlessly flawless event and we are set!

Branching Out did such a beautiful job with the flowers and Crumb de la Crumb’s cake looked just amazing!

I love this one that Sean got of the couple…

For the featured moment of the evening, I have two favorites and since I mentioned all of the emotion, I thought this one was a must. Loving this tender moment between Lara and her dad.

And then I was so excited about this image of James as he lit a celebratory cigar, that I can’t do the blog post without it.  Cigars make awesome photographs…

Lara and James, may the next 10, 20…50 years be even better than the last 10! We loved being a part of your wedding day and we can’t wait to see you again soon to reveal all of your beautiful images! :0)  In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this little sneak peek.
