Saturday was the picture perfect day for a wedding! And I had the honor of photographing a picture perfect Bride on that beautiful day! Meet Christina and Eric Stratton. This whirlwind romance turned into a whirlwind wedding. I must admit that I was kind of apprehensive as to how in the world these two love birds could pull off a last minute wedding that lived up to the expectations that they had set for themselves. But I was throughouly impressed with the outcome!
I met Christina and her lovely sister at the salon early Saturday morning…it was quite a “Zen” place I might add…you might check it out sometime…Indulge off of CR210. Y’all know me and I am far too frugal to frequent such a high class salon…not to mention I only cut my hair twice a year : ) but nonetheless…for those of you who do “indulge” yourselves…this is the place! We finished up there around 1:00 and headed over to the church.
I have a history with the Groom in this wedding…he and I go back about 10 years. Eric and I worked together at Western Southern years ago. We have remained friends over the years and it has certainly been nice getting reacquainted again! He and Christina are in Aspen this week celebrating their honeymoon and then they are headed to New York City for two weeks. I wish that they could have packed me in their suitcase and took me along with them.
Christina…you were one of my most favorite Brides to photograph and not only because you are beautiful but because you have a smile that lights up the room from a hundred miles away…and hey, if I had that amazing ring on my finger I might be lighting up the room as well or even the world for that matter! But seriously, what more can a photographer ask for in a Bride. You exude a beauty and joy that all Brides should experience on their wedding day.
My best wishes to the both of you and here’s to rekindling a friendship that had taken a backseat to life.
Just beautiful Dawn!!! The bride, the ring, the photos…what a lucky girl to have a photographer as wonderful as you to capture all of the “spectacular” of her day!
