A Love Story in Pictures: Joanna + Austin May 9, 2009

I love to tell a good story, the kind that makes my friends want to laugh, smile, reminisce, cry... That's why one of my favorite things about being invited along to shoot a couple's wedding day is getting to tell the story of their love through photographs. It's almost like being a fly on the wall, watching and listening for those special moments that even the bride and groom might miss. It's all of those moments that help to tell their story. The wedding day can be such a blur, surrounded by friends and family, dancing, eating, loving, and laughing. It goes by so fast and after it's all said and done you are left one thing: your story in pictures.
A few weeks ago Brandon and I got to shoot Joanna + Austin's wedding. J + A are students at FSU and with family in the Destin area they decided to have their wedding in Fort Walton Beach. The backdrop of their beautiful day was the Fort Walton Beach Yacht Club {http://http://www.fwyc.org/}. They had a lovely ceremony outside at the pavilion by the bay and then headed in for the reception and an evening full of making memories with their friends and family. Oh and there was dancing. A LOT of dancing...they even had a couple from a dance company come to show the guests a few moves to help them get out on the dance floor. It was an ingenious idea, I have never seen so many guests at a wedding get up and dance! I could go on forever about all of the little details that J+A thought of to make their day unique and special but I will let the pictures tell the story... {and as always click on the picture to make it BIG!}







I love this one so much...it's so melty and soft...it's like butter!
















J+A, I hope you enjoy the preview of your pictures! We wish you all the best in your new journey as man and wife:)

Well, I better hit the sack, it's getting late. B+I shot a wedding this last weekend and will hopefully be getting a sneak peak up soon!
goodnight!
