Susan and Matt's Engagement Session! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Photographer

Well, last week I posted a teaser for Susan and Matt. Here is the full deal, guys! I love the way several of these turned out and I just know the wedding is going to be too awesome!!!! Bring on the bug spray....we got eaten alive the day of the engagement session, but all in all, I think it was totally worth it. We got some amazing shots of them in some of my favorite Marion, AR locations. Plus we made a few small journeys to get some really personal shots of them. Matt is a firefighter at an Olive Branch station and we went there and played on the trucks for a bit, then headed out to the Olive Branch Airport where he proposed to Susan while flying over Memphis. It was a really fun session with them! Have a look at some of my favorites from the day:

Susan and Matt's Engagement Session Teaser! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Photographer

I am not quite done photoshopping these yet, but got this one completed and wanted to share. Matt chartered a plane at the Olive Branch, MS airport and popped the question while in the air. He and Susan flew all over the mid-south and when they got over Matt's mother's yard, she could see the huge signs that asked her to marry him (he had set everything up earlier that day). Of course she said yes. We went and did part of their engagement session at the airport and I love the drama and romance in this one! Hope you guys like it too! More to come once I return from vacation.

Memphis 50th Wedding Anniversary! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Photographer

This is Mr. Bob and Ms. Lee Etta! They were recently married for 50 years!!!! That is just absolutely amazing to me and they were still just as adorable as ever. They had their anniversary party at the Courtyard Marriott in the Avenue Shopping Center in Collierville. It was very nice with some of the most fabulous catering I've ever seen. They have truly been blessed and loved over the years, as there were TONS of friends there to congratulate them on such an amazing accomplishment. Their daughter, Martha, is a good friend of mine and prepared all the beautiful (and very tasty) food! The cake (made by Kake Deevas of Memphis) was gorgeous as well and was enjoyed by all. I believe Martha told me that there was only one piece left after the crowd came thru. The beautiful flowers were designed my LeFleur. I really enjoyed getting to be part of this with them! I hope you get inspired by seeing this couple as they have made it last thru the test of time! Take a look at a few from their special day!

Memphis Wedding Reception! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Photographer

This is Kristi (spelled just like me...that doesn't happen often) and Phillip. They were married on a beautiful carribean island and had their reception back in Memphis at the Chickasaw Village shopping center. It was beautiful with the ornate way the building is set up and they had lots of friends come and wish them well in their marriage. Kristi is such a sweetie...after she got her photographs she said she loved the ones of the food. I've gotten that before....for some reason I love photographing tasty treats and they always look so yummy...so that's why there are several of the great food there! Their friends and family were a blast and I think the reception was beautiful. Have a look for yourself....
