I remember asking Tom and Jill what the style of their wedding would be, (vintage, modern, etc.) in a conversation during their engagement session. And they mentioned a couple of things and Tom finished with “…it’s going to be very Tom and Jill.” I’d not really heard that answer before so was pretty excited (and a little curious) for their wedding at Lafayette Park. This one definitely ranks among my favorites. The details and decor were beautiful, everyone was kind and friendly – it was just pretty great all around. Plus, I had the sweet and talented Amanda Turner along to second shoot with me 🙂 Also, you will probably recognize some faces from Christe and John’s wedding at Bee Tree Park – I was lucky to get to work with the Lorentz family twice last year!

Notice how bright some of these leaves are – Tom’s sister collected them and microwaved them to preserve the color. How cool is that?















LOVE the way Tom looks at Jill 🙂

And the way a little girls’ face lights up when she sees the bride:

I will never be able to hear “Home” by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeroes again without thinking of their dance and smiling. It was perfect!
