So Last week I took a trip to Southern Georgia to attend and shoot one of my best friends weddings. I was so glad that I could be there and be a part of her beautiful day. The groom is from Georgia and so she chose this beautiful southern location to spend her special day. Gin Creek was an AMAZING location. It is a family run business and I can not say enough good things about the gin creek family. I felt completely welcomed and at home there. I hope that some day I can bring my husband back there. I just know he will love it.
So as far as pictures go… There was another photographer there… the groom’s cousin. I didn’t get as much time with the bride and groom as I would have liked (5 minutes total i think), but I hope that the other images that I captured throughout the day are a true repesentation of the happiness and love that everyone that attended felt.
Congratulations Carol and Shaun!!
Love this one of Carol throwing the bouquet…
it makes me smile
Did I mention that they got married on the 4th of July?
I also have to give Carol a ton of credit for all of th e work that she put into all the details of the day. She made all of the center-pieces, the other flower arrangements, the favors, her bouquet and her sisters, all of the bouteniers and corsages… the list goes on and on. I was truly impressed!
So after my first experience as a wedding photographer, I won’t write off ever doing one again… but i do need to catch my breath before ever attempting another one. My hat definitely goes off to you photographers that do this all the time!!!
Hello my name is Sarah, I found your website through BRClan and I just had a couple of questions about how you got the copyright for your photos and what other legal things should I think about if I wanted to start my own business at some point? I have visited Legalzoom and it seems pretty easy to get my own copyright. I’ve done some photos for friends from our church, family pictures, a wedding, some graduations pictures, things like that, but IF I branch out and do this at some point I want to be able to cover myself legally if something should happen. Any information you have would be helpful. Sincerely, Sarah D
You can e-mail me back at the address I gave as well. :~)
Wow, what great shots. You did such a wonderful job. You gonna start doing weddings? I’d love to be able to refer people to you because weddings scare the hell out of me!
These are beautiful, Amanda!
We both would like to let you know that your work is amazing! If you’re down for the challenge, we’d definitely love to have you as our wedding photographer (when the time comes). Carol’s definitely lucky to have a person such as yourself as a best friend. Keep up the awesome work.

What stunning images. I love that one of her and the bouquet and the fireworks! Just so fun and real.
Dear Amanda,
Your pictures are fabulous!!! Loved them all. So very nice for us all who could not attend. Was especially great that you could be there to share this time with Carol. You have a very busy life with lots of commitments and responsibilities with your family and children. I know this meant the most to Carol that you could share this together. You have a wonderful talent and eye for your photos. They pack a big punch and strike in the emotion category. Best friends are a treasure and you are part of the find. The best to you and your beautiful family.—-Mary Johnson
Beautiful shots! I’m impressed this was your first wedding. They are so intimidating!
oops, wrong address.
Why oh why weren’t you doing this when C & I got married??? These are PERFECT! {And exactly what I wanted 10 years ago!}
