The Wedding of Alexis and Jeff! BluOrchid Photography ~ Memphis Wedding Photographer

This is Alexis and Jeff. They have such an interesting story. They met each other at the church where they were married out in the playground (they met when they were children). They both grew up and went their separate ways. It was in the last few years that they found one another again and they knew that it was the love of a lifetime. I was so happy that they decided to include me in their day. Alexis is an artist herself and was very interested in our work...and I am thrilled that she "got" me! She planned a beautiful reception at the Memphis College of Art. I've not worked there before, but it was great! They had a gorgeous ceremony and a blast at the recpetion. I can't wait for them to see these....so here is a peek of many beautiful portraits to come! Love you guys!

I absolutely love it when the bride and groom see each other before the actual ceremony. It is so much more intimate....look at the looks on their faces as they saw each other for the first time.

The other cool part about seeing each other before is that you actually get to enjoy it. They were so comfortable and just really looked so in love, it was great to be part of that.





The church had amazing chandeliers! I love the sparkle of light over the ceremony.

Courtney and Beau's Memphis Engagement Session

Meet Courtney and Beau. We will be doing their wedding in January. They just came in for their engagement session viewing and LOVED it! I'm so glad because not only is Courtney one of our most beautiful brides, but she is also a very good friend of mine. We did their session on a VERY cold day, but they braved it and we went all over Memphis. It was so fun to work with them.....and so sweet. Look at the one where Courtney is looking at him so lovingly. This is one of the things that we are really good at....catching emotion and capturing feelings. I love that! They were sweet and romantic. I can't wait to do Courtney's bridals (her dress is sooooo beautiful and unique). And I really can't wait for the wedding. Without further ado.....

Memphis Botanical Gardens Wedding! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Photographer

We had the opportunity to be part of a very beautiful wedding last month at the Memphis Botanica Gardens. The day started a little crazy for the bride, but it all worked out (like it always does) in the end. This is Amy and Brice. I'm so behind on blogging that I don't even have their engagement session up yet, so I know this is backwards, but I just love their wedding pictures! Amy has got to be one of the most gorgeous brides I've ever seen, much less that I got to photograph her! And Brice is just such a sweetheart....you can see that in the photograph where he is carrying her dress. And I have to give a shout out to David for all of his help that day...he actually got some amazing shots that are included here. Well, here they are....
