A Southern Wedding

I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful couple or wedding for my first wedding. I went down to Savannah, Georgia and shot with a dear friend, Meghan from Meghan Cavanaugh Photography.

Neither of us has shot a wedding before, and this gorgeous couple made it wonderfully easy work!

John and Deedra, Congratulations on your marriage! I hope you enjoy this peek at all the beautiful moments of your wedding day! Sit back, and enjoy- it's definitely a large share ;)

And then for a few minutes, the rain poured down and decisions had to be made. Deedra decided she was willing to risk the rain for her ceremony under the live oaks at Forsyth Park.

Time to eat! Their menu was delicious; a carving station, make your own mini-burgers, shrimp and grits! And the cake- oh my word was it delicious!
