October is such a festive month, isn't it?! :)

The leaves are changing colors,

It is again that time of year.

When pumpkins, apple pies, and turkey,

Bring smiles from ear to ear! :)

A trip to the local pumpkin patch,

to pick some pumpkins to paint,

scoop out the seeds and carve silly faces,

it's time to decorate!! :)

We made candy corn footprint cards,

and scary BOO ghosts!

With the few days left of warm weather,

We certainly made of it, the most!! :)

Firefighter D and Dalmatian C
All ready for the big day!!

The Newnan Fire Dept was kind enough to let us on their trucks
It was all that was talked about for days!! :)
We rode in Engine 2,

We went to Boo at the Zoo!

We had fun making our own firefighter hats,

And even got to ask the Fire Dept what they thought about that?! :)

This month was filled with fun, lots of laughs, and good times!

Better hang on tight because November promises to be another fun ride!! :)

Meant to be....

What a special event, just got back from my cousin's wedding in Providence, RI to his beautiful bride whom he met in college so many years ago. The two of them were just beautiful and everyone at the wedding could feel their love and admiration for one another. There was not a dry eye in the house during their ceremony and it wasn't just from crying...the priest was quite the comedian and kept us all very entertained!! Of course my trusty camera came along for the ride, here are a few favorites from their day! :)

Justin & Laura tied the knot!!

Can you feel the love tonight?

Here comes the bride...

It's official!! We are married!!

We sure are!! For forever and a day!! :)

This is the beginning of a something wonderful.

Are these two going to have gorgeous children, or what?!

Laura's princess moment....

with her prince!!

So cute!! Best wishes to the happy couple!!

No pressure,

but could you hurry up and make some GORGEOUS babies!! :)

Some favorites....

Remember when...

the bigger the cheeks, the better... it was fun to catch snowflakes on your nose and eyelashes...
tasting fresh picked strawberries was better than a bowl of ice cream... those long summer days filled with smiles and sun-kissed locks... bright-eyed and filled with curiousity, you faced the world ahead...
when you could jump in a foam pit and still make it out okay....
walking on your tippy-toes still required Momma to hold your hands...
"Gerr-ran-nemo" was your favorite word...

and climbing as high as the tree tops made you "king" of the jungle gym!

When "rubbing noses like the Eskimoses"
made you laugh until you got the hiccups...
you ran so fast that you got your kite to stay high in the sky...
you had a "you complete me" moment
and your world instantly became a better place...
and true happiness could be found on a swing....

whether swinging solo...

or with your best buddy. :)

The perfect day for a wedding...

Today I had the honor and pleasure of photographing a dear friend's wedding at no better a place than the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. The weather was perfect, the flowers were in bloom, it was the perfect day for Alicia and Ron to tie the knot!! :)

When Alicia called to ask if I would take part in their special day I hung up the phone with tears in my eyes. But what brought on even more tears was being there today and witnessing their beautiful ceremony between two amazing people who have an unconditional love for each other and an even stronger love for their family. Alicia & Ron's day was truly about them and their adorable son Davis, just as it should be. It was honest and sincere, and even had the staff at the Botanical Garden sniffling during their exchanging of vows.

The beautiful bride just moments before walking down the aisle...
you could just feel the "glow" about her.

Alicia playing peek-a-boo in the gardens,
she really let her personality shine through! :)

Davis giving Mommie some last minute advice..."Kiss him!"

Father and son, best buddies, Ron and Davis were all smiles!!

United as one...

Davis was the best lil' ringbearer!!

You could see the joy in his heart watching his parents tie the knot!

Davis was given his Great Grandmother's rosary beads.

Hand in hand...
Okay Mommie, now it is my turn to kiss the bride!

Smoooch!!

Alicia and Davis are two peas in a pod!

We thought surely one of them would have wound up in the fountain...

It's Official! Mr. and Mrs. L!!!!

Their day was filled with lots of laughter...

and even more smooches!!

Thank you Alicia & Ron for allowing me to share in your special day. You three were such fun to photograph!! :) Here is a little sneak peak of your pictures, now go enjoy that amazing honeymoon of yours and when you get back you can see the other 643!! :)
