Introducing…MRS. CARTER.??? I had to open up with this shot because is this SO Jamie or what?? :)? She was? doing the happy dance all day.
As you know, I choose not to shoot weddings – not the area I want to specialize in at this time of my life.? Obviously, I made an exception this time for my cousin Jamie (but please don’t anyone else ask – family or not!).?? However, I will shoot GROOMALS!? IGroomals are essentially shots of Bride and Groom in their wedding attire either prior to the wedding or post wedding (meaning not on the day of the wedding).
Because I was in the wedding as a bridesmaid and the wedding photographer, I was in quite the quandary when trying to figure out what I would do for the ceremony and bridal party shots.? My wonderful precious friends Erin and Janelle came to my rescue as my second shooters.? I AM SO GRATEFUL!? Couldn’t have done it without them.??? If you need a wedding photographer, give one of them a call – Erin McFarland or Janelle Zeller.
And now…onto a ginormous posting of bride shots.? :)? I can’t even pick a favorite.
Yes that would be me on the right.? 🙂
Hope you love them Jamie!? Next up will be Groom and Bride First Look.

Gorgeous Bride, Gorgeous Hair, Gorgeous Make-up, Gorgous shots!
GORGEOUS 🙂
Love love love them Doni! It helps that she has such a tremendous personality and unbelievable coloring! Hard to choose but my two faves are the very first one and the black and white.
Stunning!
WOWOWOWOWOW!!! Jamie is such a pretty bride/woman inside and out. great job with the photos. you all did a great job capturing the day. love all of them
Ooooh, all you early birds…I LOVE THEM ALL! When I woke up I rushed in to the office to look on line and my computer needed restarting because it had done some updates – man, did that take some patience training!!! It was well worth the wait, these truly move me to tears. Jamie fished what she wanted – the look on her face says it all. She wanted to be relaxed, have fun, and enjoy the day. Looks like all those things were accomplished, right?!!!!!!! (Doni (and Erin & Janelle) you did a most excellent job of capturing my girl. Thanks for giving her a re-cap of this most important day. Her book will be treasured….a I want one too 😉 )
You are absolutely right, it’s impossible to pick a favorite when they are all soo amazing. That smile of hers is just infectious. And my oh my, she looked absolutely perfect from her hair, to her make-up and that dress!!! So glad you had your “crew” to help you capture this day. You three did a fantastic job!!!
I want/need details on the bouquet. You know me, my eye was immediately drawn to the little details like the pictures hanging on the bouquet. Love it!
Beautiful! 🙂
Jamie is one HOT bride!!! This was so much fun to shoot with you girls and such a fabulous bride, groom & wedding party!! Amazing and Beautiful!!!
gorgeous Doni!! i love that first one of Jamie! she was such an amazing bride!
Absolutely STUNNING Jamie!!! I am virtually speachless in aww! (These are a million reasons why I have always wanted green (or blue)eyes too!)
Sarah R. – Jamie was very sad to have this day without some very important people in her life that passed away before seeing her married, therefore she asked that we find some lockets and put picutres of her “Poppy” my dad, “Grandpa” her dad’s dad, Uncle Bob who she would always call and discuss her sports with, and lastl;y Shane’s Grandma Carter who passed this last year. We thought it a precious idea and did indeed make the lockets to be close to her heart and present at her wedding! That’s my girl 🙂
stunning… striking… ridiculous… can’t think of a word that actually does justice to the beauty of such a bride… wow… oh jamie… you are a beauty beyond compare.
These are beautiful! Jamie you are BEAUTIFUL!! Shane is definitely going to have one of these in his wallet! 😉 Doni you are seriously the most amazing photographer I know! You are able to catch the essence of personality, perfect lighting, and beauty in one photograph! Jamie will be so happy to have these photos in fifty years from now-it is such a beautiful blessing that you could do this for her. 🙂
