Summertime Fun | Erin Rachel Photography

Summertime Fun!
My niece and nephew go back and forth from their little pool to the slide...back and forth...back and forth. Loving every minute of it!!

I got a new camera this week...the Canon 5D Mark ii and had to try it out!
I thought these
were some perfect little models:-)

Melissa and Michael say "I Do" | Erin Rachel Photography

Almost a week ago Melissa and Michael said "I Do" and it was all southern and charming!
I was honored to be a part of their day!
As I stood in the wedding to witness their marriage, I was still able
to shoot at their first look and at the end of the reception.
Since the two of them chose to see each other before the wedding ceremony, they
had a "first look", with just the two of them and of course photographers :-)
This was a special time for them to be alone for a few minutes.
Their day was beautiful, I'm so happy for them!

Cassidy Brooke | Erin Rachel Photography

This past weekend Cassidy came in from Colorado, to shoot one of my best friends wedding.
We met almost a year ago, at an internship with Sarah Barlow, in Nashville, TN!
So when two photographers are together what do you think is going to happen?
Yep, an all out photo session at one of the most amazing places around here!
We couldn't have asked for better lighting and more fun!

Amber + Brandon. May 1, 2010

It was close to a year ago that I spent the day with Erica & Brad on their wedding day, shooting their love story. It was then that Erica's twin sister, Amber, met Brad's best friend Brandon.
Did you catch all of that?!?!?!

Well almost a year later Amber and Brandon said "I DO".

Two weekends ago, I got to spend the day with Amber and Brandon shooting their love story.
Everyone was scurrying around, busy as ever, prepping and dodging the rain.
As I looked at the weather channel and saw that there was an 80% chance of rain, I prayed h.a.r.d.

When Amber and I met up for coffee three months ago to talk details about her wedding and catch up on life, one thing she really wanted
was outside pictures. We had planned on taking the wedding party to a spot and spending some time outside for pictures. Well...yeh that was plan "A"
Onto plan "B" for pictures!
As I took the guys outside we literally were out there for 5 minutes and it started drizzling raining...
we ran inside, took some family formal shots...then the rain stopped...so the groom and I ran outside...
here it came again so we hid the groom and brought the bride out for some formal shots...about 20 minutes before the ceremony...the rain stopped so all of us girls ran out back for some quick shots! Thankfully they had planned the ceremony to be inside and it was beautiful and sweet.

Man I am loving these...I had to stand on a chair to take these pictures!
O.K. for the record...he's tall but I am short:-)

They chose to not see each other before the ceremony!
So we snuck this one in:-)
This is my all time favorite...
I get nothing but
smiles!

Yes! When a Bride and Groom trust me enough
to sit on the ground...uh huh, I like and I think they will too!!!
I was thanking the Lord for this 10 minute gap in the drizzling rain.
for the two of them to have some time together and get some portraits.
A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

I hope California treated you well on your honeymoon:-)
