A Busy...that I'm not used to! | Erin Rachel Photography

Early mornings, late nights, messy clothes, three baths a day, swimming,
sand, water, snacks, juice, cries, laughs, shopping, splash pads, swim suits,
running through the condo, squealing contests, dirty diapers, nap times,
coloring, feeding ducks, eating M&M's, playing with tractors, going up and down stairs,
taking walks...
hopefully you get what I'm saying. I have been busy...a busy that
I am soooo not used to!

But all of that to say...I had {FUN} the last 4 days with my nieces,
nephew, sister, sister-in-law and parents in Destin, FL.

Mr. & Mrs. Doug Kellum | Erin Rachel Photography

May 29. 2010
This day started a new journey for Doug and Kelly.
It was a day filled with family, joy, emotion, fun, worry, tears, laughing and love forever.

As the girls were busy getting all gorgeous, we would look through
the window trying to predict what the weather was going to do.
At the time it was raining and dreary.

As the girls drove off to the venue, Vintage Court, it was still raining.
With the help of umbrellas, strangers and friends we got the girls
in the car safe and most importantly d.r.y.

Kelly made one of the best decisions of the day when she decided
to keep the ceremony outside. It had stopped raining and the sunlight was amazing.

The guys arrived at Vintage Court at 6:30pm and we ran outside
skipping over the rain puddles and to find dry land!
Wah-lah...
I absolutely fell in l.o.v.e. with these images.

A few mintues after 7pm Kelly and her Dad, arm in arm, walked
down to meet Doug.
There, Doug was nothing but smiles...peeking around the trees
to see if he could see her.

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:-)

With rain comes wind and I won't complain about that!

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:-)
