MIKE & AUDRA

Sarah is back from Europe and came along with me to Little Rock this past weekend to photograph Mike and Audra's wedding! The day held a few challenges, but it was wonderful overall. We arrived at the church 20-30 minutes before Audra got there to find that the air was not working in the bridal parlor. It was a hot and humid day, and the room felt like a sauna! Once Audra and the bridesmaids arrived, Heather, the church coordinator, led us to a Sunday school room. And what a fun room! Every wall was painted in murals to make it look like a bright, fun jungle! But, alas, it was a HOT room as well. Audra toughed it out though.....she's such a trooper! I also had some struggles......I got sick with a bad infection the night before the wedding, so I shot the wedding ill. I knew it would happen one day. I'm glad to know now that I can pull through shooting a wedding - feeling my worst - and actually have images that I love afterwards! :) What a relief! My husband actually took me to the emergency room as soon as I got home Saturday night where they gave me a lovely shot in my rear and sent me home with lots of great meds. I'm feeling much better now!!!!! :)

Here are some favorites from the day. I have been wanting to border my images and incorporate my new logo somehow, so I am trying that out now. :)

Have you ever seen a wedding gown hanging in a jungle?! haha! I thought it made for a great photo! :)


I loved Audra's shoes!


Fun times in the jungle room! :)


Audra and Mike chose to see each other before the ceremony in order to calm their nerves and get some amazing shots! I definitely respect wishes to wait until the ceremony for the bride and groom to see each other, but I have to say that I love it when my couples want to see each other beforehand! The day always goes so much more smoothly!
