Cory and Lauren's beautiful fall wedding...

This afternoon, Shana and I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful wedding held on Lake Oconee. Our bride and groom, Lauren and Cory, were just the perfect couple to entertain this beautiful weather with an outside wedding. The pictures were so much fun, I hope this sneak peek will offer a little insight into our day! Thank you Lauren and Cory for the opportunity to share this special day with you! Love in Christ, Kyle and Shana

An unforgettable wedding this weekend...

I adore this picture of Morgan...as soon as they kissed and she knew she was a married woman, she looked at her guests and gave them a huge thumbs up!!! It was priceless!
This was really sweet...Morgan and Michael were inside one of the barns at Morgan's parents house. It is rustic but so classy...I loved this shot..just before they kissed, it was so evident that these two were made for each other!
This was a shot of Michael when he saw Morgan for the first time...looks pretty awestruck for his bride!
Finally...a shot of the newlyweds... can't you just see how happy they are?

Well, this weekend was extra special. It is always a compliment to be asked to do pictures for someone you know...and this weekend was no exception. But Morgan was a special person in my life growing up. She and her sister Mariharden were very close to me and my sister. It was wonderful to be close to her and watch her blossom into this beautiful woman that she has become. It is also such a blessing to know that her marriage will be filled with so many happy days... I enjoyed watching Michael look at her...it was so obvious that he just adores her, you can see it in his eyes. So to have the opportunity to be a part of this day, and document moments for them, was wonderful! The wedding was held in a beautiful home and was outside on the porch...the weather could not have been more beautiful and the guests all appeared to be on cloud nine along with the couple! Thank you again Revel, Matt, Morgan and Michael for letting Rachel, Shana and I be a part of this glorious day! Love in Christ, Kyle

Whitney and Ben's Wedding Preview

What a wonderful evening it was last night as we all celebrating Whitney and Ben's recent wedding. They were actually married the first week of August, then went on their honeymoon to Panama and lastly had this great party to celebrate the marriage...after last night, I am convinced this is the way to go! They were able to still have a great time with their family and friends but without the stress of the wedding itself. It was a wonderful party, complete with Celebration, the band...who was AMAZING!!! Shana and I had a great time at the reception and we both look forward to editing these pictures! Love in Christ, Kyle

Sneak peek for Tiffany and Steven's wedding...

Today was an amazing day in Macon. Courtney, Rachel and I shot a wedding for Tiffany Brooks and Steven Bloodworth. It was amazing! Tiffany was, by far, the most laid back bride I have ever seen...it was more than enjoyable to just do what we do and love how much she trusts us in the process. I am so excited about working on these photos in the next few weeks, but thought this might hold over for a bit for these precious families! Thank you again for allowing us to be a part of your day! Love in Christ, Kyle

Emily and Evan's wedding

I was not the photographer for this beautiful wedding, but you know I had to whip out the camera anyway! This is Emily and her new hubby Evan. Emily and her family went to the beach with my family for 22 years and we had a great reunion this past weekend at her wedding in Florence. The children are now the products of three of us girls and now we need a few from Emily and Evan! They are relaxing in Italy now for 8 days... and we had an amazing time and lots of fun memories! Congrats you two...lots of fun to look forward too! Love in Christ, Kyle

Check out a preview of their photographers pics at http://www.cmsmithportraits.com/blog/. They are AMAZING!!!!!

Courtney and Paul's engagement!

What a blessing it is to see one of your best friends become engaged to your brother-in-law! I mean, I couldn't have picked a sweeter sis-in-law! This is Courtney, as many of you already know, she is also a very active photographer with the company and she has been dating my brother-in-law for a year now. Well, this week at Rosemary Beach, he popped the question! It was precious that he let me be a part of their engagement moment as they watched the sun rise on the beach on Monday morning. I am just so thrilled for both Paul and Courtney as they are the most precious people and deserve each other so much! All of their friends and families are thrilled that they have found each other and plan to be together forever! I will be posting more of their engagement session in a few days when I return home to edit! Congrats you two... God sure has a special couple in you! Love in Christ, Kyle

An unforgettable weekend in Macon!

This weekend was wonderful! Courtney, Rachel and I had the pleasure of photographing Jan and Andy Clark's wedding at the beautiful catholic church downtown. The church itself is so beautifully decorated, the ambiance of the wedding just added to the scenery! These pictures are just a short preview of the fun we had. Jan and Andy were a lovely couple to work with. The ceremony was perfect and the reception afterwards was just as lovely. Many many wishes to Jan and Andy on a happy life together!

We also participated in the Tour of Kitchens sponsered by the Junior League. My sister, Courtney, was so gracious to help out during the wedding on Saturday. Today, Courtney S. and I catered to over 600 people who came on the tour. In all 944 people came through our home on the tour. We had some wonderful responses to the photography and gained many new friends. We also held a drawing for a free sitting and our Grand prize winner was.... Mrs. Gwynell Davis. After speaking to her on the phone tonight, she is super excited about getting some pictures of her three precious granddaughters. I cannot wait either! This event was another blessing in this journey. Thanks to all who participated. Love in Christ, Kyle

A lovely weekend in Florida....

Here are a few shots from the beautiful wedding Courtney and I photographed this weekend in Florida. The wedding was on the beach and it was breathtaking! I love the second picture of the grandparents holding each other as they watch Joe and Carrie's marriage begin. It was such a precious ceremony and weekend to be a part of! We are so blessed to be in bible study with Carrie and so excited that we were able to photograph this weekend. We always really take the time to get to know our couples getting married...how they met, got engaged and some fun stuff in between...these details help us to know what personality their pictures will bring and what also is special to them during their wedding weekend. Anyway, I hope you enjoy these pictures...more to come in a few weeks! Love in Christ, Kyle
