A few of my favorites. This one definitely wins “Most Dedicatation”.

Brings a huge grin to my face… thanks Dave!
The mustaches are always a hit. Am I the only one that thinks Hallerin has perfected the Old Spice guy’s look? “Ladies… look at me, now look at your man…”
Yep… I can see it!
I agree!
The super-talented Pyxl crew! I was quite startled at Jackie’s ability to leap over everyone… nice form!
Here’s the rest… enjoy!!

I knew the first time I met with Shelby’s mom, Janette, that I was going to enjoy this couple. Shelby Mason was raised on a dairy farm in the hills between Athens & Niota, TN, so she’s familiar with hard work & life on the farm. She’s a country girl. And on Saturday, she married a laid-back country boy. Jake Roberts grew up in Phenix City, AL before playing football in college while attending the College of the South, Sewanee. He later began coaching football at Cumberland University where he met Shelby. They couldn’t be any more perfect for one another.

Shelby & Jake, I wish you two the absolute best. Thank you for the opportunity to be your photographer! And, here’s a peak from your wedding day:

We’ll start with a few images from the rehearsal. I don’t usually shoot rehearsals but we were unable to do a pre-wedding shoot so I was more than happy to attend their rehearsal. It was so much fun & allowed me an opportunity to get to know the wedding party ahead of time. Plus, I was able to capture some of the personal touches that go into the rehearsal dinner.

Following the rehearsal at Keith Church, the dinner took place at the Mason Farm; what a fun place!

Shelby was overcome with emotion as her guests formed a circle around she & Jake while her dad offered a blessing over their marriage.
A good friend & musician, JT Tallent, offered his incredible song, “With You.” You can listen to it via YouTube by clicking here.
Guests watched a moving slideshow of Shelby & Jake’s story.
And here’s my favorite part… the wedding day! Shelby’s dress is in a league of its own.

Black’s Florist did an incredible job with the floral arrangements.
I noticed an incredible field just behind the reception site; it served as a perfect portrait location. What a gorgeous bride!
At one point Shelby said, “Am I supposed to be smiling?” I responded, “Shelby, it’s your wedding day! Of course.” She smiled the entire day!!
I am so thrilled by this picture… wow! There are several from this location that are my favorites!
The reception was held at the historic Keith Mansion. There’s hardly a better reception site in town. It’s owned by chef Paul Carideo & wife, Melanie, who are both a pleasure to work alongside. The bridesmaids spent the night prior to the wedding in the bed & breakfast & it’s interior is perfectly fit for portraits.
Love these moments!
These two absolutely light up when around one another… I can’t help but smile watching them interact.
This picture brought tears to my eyes & conjured up such emotion. The Roberts family had a special memorial candle in honor of Jake’s grandfather who recently passed. Alongside the candle was a picture of Jake & his grandfather. Here, Jake’s father pauses to remember his father; in the background, Jake’s mother is consoled by her sister.
What can I say, Shelby’s got a good arm. She overthrew the “single ladies”; it landed on top of the tent.
Decorations Creations provided the centerpieces for the reception. I loved how they floated pics from Shelby & Jake’s engagement session inside the centerpiece. MP Entertainment provided the music… they are always a pleasure to work alongside. Also, John David Boreing & his video team were awesome!
And yes… we danced to the music!
And yes… we photoboothed like crazy! Here are just some of the crazy shots. If you’d like to see all the pics from Shelby & Jake’s photobooth, check out my Facebook page by clicking here.

I immediately met up with Laura & her bridesmaids & little thought was given again to the weather outside. She was glowing with excitement & looking absolutely lovely. What a wonderful day for Laura & Travis, their family & friends!

Makeup was done by the lovely Kristina Burke of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics.
In case you didn’t know, I’m a huge shoe fan. I love these shoes that Laura chose; they really fit her personality.
These girls were laughing constantly!
Laura was a stunning bride!

In addition to his job at TVA, Travis also works as a Fireman for the Calhoun Fire Department.
My good friend, Lillian Prince, assisted me for the wedding. She hung out with the guys & captured them in the wedding day preparation. Here are a few of her awesome shots!
Adorable!! This is Alyssa… she was the perfect flower girl.
I love sharing these special moments right before a Father leads his daughter down the aisle!
Mr. & Mrs. Travis Lee!
The Bakery, did a beautiful job with the cakes & catering!
The Photo Booth was a big hit during the reception. We provided the props & the guests provided pure awesomeness! These are some of my favs. If you’d like to see the rest, visit my Facebook fan page here or register the guestbook here & you’ll be notified when all the wedding pics are available.
Killer mustaches must run in the family!
