In no particular order, and for no particular reason, here is a smorgasbord of yummy awesomeness from the last month! I’m not going to lie here - I have no clue how to kick off this blog with a bang in 2010 - and this just seemed like a completely nonsensical and yet legit way to do it.

Every image included in this post is one that just kind of grabbed me for some reason or another - a little bit of film, a little bit of digital, and a whole lot of diversity.  The hope here is that I may actually be motivated by this post to blog the overwhelming amount of work and sessions from 2009.  And right now I am!  I have loved looking through the last month and grabbing images that jumped out at me.  It will be so much fun to share the stories behind these, and the many others that are backed up a bit more…

So, here’s to 2010, Los Angeles, new endeavors, and the wonderful encouragement that I was unexpectedly given today…(more on that later).  Enjoy - critique - be confused - embrace the randomness - and leave some love!

A few images from The Holmes - Spencer Wedding in Birmingham, Alabama. They were married at Covenant Presbyterian Church, with a beautiful reception following at The Summit Club.

Amanda, a cutie from Houston, met Wes, a Birmingham native, while in school at The University of Alabama. Their courtship carried them both back to Birmingham, where they eventually decided to marry. They joined Covenant, and became close with Danny Giffen, who actually ended up marrying them. This was particularly special for me too, as Danny has played a major role in my husband’s spiritual walk - leading his bible study for three years.

DeAnna Morgan, planner and director extraordinaire put together their stunning day. Everything came together so well it was unreal. Every time I work with DeAnna, I feel like I’ve missed something because she makes my job so easy! She has a plan for everything…everything.

I loved being privy to the spiritual beliefs that were prevalent in this couple’s ceremony. Amanda and Wes are both so grounded in their faith, and that is always refreshing to see. After they tied the knot, we partied the night away! Literally. As a side note, this was the first wedding I decided to inhale Red Bull while working - totally worth it, I think.

Congratulations to a lovely couple. I am blessed to know you and be a part of your life! All the best.

Congratulations Amanda and Wes!
