Lauren Meeks, Bridals: Searcy Portrait Photographer

A couple weeks ago, my roommate's best friend was in need of bridal portraits before her big day. We were lucky enough to have a perfect, yet crazy humid, afternoon to shoot them. Lauren is from Wynne, AR and will be living up in Jonesboro with her new husband. The backdrop for her portraits was hard to decide on, but since she did not actually go to Harding, we used it as the location since it's so pretty. She is also a fantastic piano player, so we took advantage of the grand piano in the Heritage. It was so much fun helping her carry around her dress, but quite the challenge to keep it as clean as possible! I tried to keep them simple and classy looking, and I think they turned out pretty cute! Here are my favorites, she is beautiful!

Beautiful, beautiful Lauren!

Laura & Sam: Nashville Wedding Photographer

About a month or so ago I received a beautiful wedding invitation from my friend, Laura. I've known Laura since our freshmen year at Lipscomb University when we both pledged Delta Omega women's social club. We have some pretty hilarious memories from pledge week and I'm so glad I got to know this crazy girl during that lonnngg week! Laura however, had no idea that she would be meeting her future husband that very same week. Part of DO's pledge book includes taking so many pictures with the people whose signatures you obtain. As fate would have it, she just happened to take a picture with Mr. Sam Young. A while later, they became friends, and the rest is history. 

I stepped out on a limb and asked Laura what she thought about having a second-shooter on her wedding day, just to get another perspective, and for me to get some extra practice in. She then graciously let me second-shoot her beautiful wedding a couple weeks later, and I was so thrilled to do so! The main-photographer, Derek Lee, was great to worth with, and I know his shots have got to be simply stunning.

Here are a few of my favorites from Laura and Sam's beyond perfect day.

The ceremony was held at Vanderbilt's Scarritt Bennett Wightman Chapel and the reception was at Marathon Village overlooking the Nashville skyline.

Best wishes, Laura and Sam!!
