Natasha's Bridal Shoot

Drum Roll Please!!!

Back in February I announced the winner of my bridal contest. Over a 1,000 friends and family put their votes in & Mrs. Natasha from Georgia was the winner:) May 7th was the shoot and we had a blast. Perfect weather, great lighting & stunning bride!!!! I have to say that Natasha she sure can work the camera;)

We started in the morning at Sheer Joy Salon. I scheduled a manicure and pedicure for Natasha. After her pampering she had her hair and makeup done by Sherri Cole and as always Sherri ROCKS…thank you so much Mrs. Sherri!!!

A very special thanks to the following vendors….


*Dorene made all the veils you see here. If you’re looking for a beautiful and unique veil give Dorene a call! The Flowerman: Provided this gorgeous bouquet of light green hydrangeas, light pink roses and ivory open roses.

{Eleni + KJ}

Last week I went to the Dayton Art Institute to meet up with Eleni and KJ for a late-afternoon engagement session. The weather, lighting, and couple were beautiful! These two look like movie stars….I swear. Eleni was telling me that they are going to Georgia next weekend to KJ’s parents and that it’s a family tradition that they throw a huge party and play this game to vote Eleni into the family…hahaha. That’s funny! Please email me some pictures;) And I have my fingers crossed that they vote you in!


You guys are awesome! Nice to finally meet you KJ!







Sorry...please don't kill me! I think I'll have every couple give the camera fish kisses at the end of the day.
