It’s pretty exciting when friends contact me to capture their wedding, birth, family, or what have you. With someone I know there’s always magic with the camera. When a stranger invites me into their lives it’s surreal. A couple of weekends ago Andy and I met some of the most incredibly warm people. First, I need to exclaim how incredibly wonderful it was having my husband as a second shooter. Before, I wasn’t really into the idea of traveling for weddings often, but Andy and I had a blast together at Case and Lindsay’s wedding weekend. <\/p>\n

The wedding took place at Terrapin Creek Lodge<\/a>, near Piedmont, Alabama. It was a little over 2 hours away, but the route went through lots of old, historic Alabama towns. It was a very pleasant drive! We left Huntsville around noon and rolled into the campsite just in time to get a tour with the videographers (also a husband and wife team – Kinora Films). There were cute little sleeping cabins (which we got to ourselves – yay!), a gorgeously decorated Lodge and outdoor area, and lots of trees nestled creekside among the Appalachian Mountains. <\/p>\n

After unpacking the car, we pulled out our cameras and headed to the party. Apparently, Case, Lindsay, and their friends had been camping for a few days already. So swinging off a ledge into the creek was all part of a day’s fun! We spent the afternoon laughing and meeting new friends. As the evening approached, a lot of the family made it to the campsite in time for rehearsal, dinner, and sweet toasts. The night ended with a giant group hug – it was beautiful!<\/p>\n

The wedding day (Cinco de Mayo) was rejuvenating. I’m not sure exactly how to describe it except for everything felt so completely right. Even though the day was long, I still managed to wake up at 5am on Sunday morning. We ended up leaving early to ensure I’d be back in town with enough time to prepare for a wedding that afternoon. <\/p>\n

I’m still working on the blog post of the “real” wedding photos, but you can bet I instagrammed the hell out of the weekend! Here’s proof: <\/p>\n
