• Guys, I'm trying to decide if Winter is playing games on us or if Spring is actually coming. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Confession time? I hate that we had the lamest winter of my entire life. Not a SINGLE snowstorm this year (and only one in early December)?!?! No ok, in my book. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Buttttt, these mid 50's temps this week have been pretty amazing. I'm tetering between wanting there to be one mega snowstorm, and wanting for Spring to just get here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What about you? #aliciaannweddings

  • “Sometimes you get discouraged because I am so small, and leave my fingerprints on furniture and walls. But every day I’m growing and I’ll be all grown up someday, and all these tiny handprints will surely fade away. So here’s a final handprint for when you need to recall, exactly what my fingers looked like when they were so small. Happy Mother’s day! Love, Catherine. 5/9/91” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Catherine’s Mom, unbeknownst to anyone except the minister leading the ceremony, got up and opened up this pre-school art from 28 years ago, read read poem on it during Themis and Catherine’s ceremony and I swear there was not a dry eye amongst those in attendance. Including mine. In fact, I continued crying like a baby for the rest of the ceremony over this sweet, sweet touch from her Mother. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Catherine and Themis’ wedding is on the blog today. Link in profile for more of this gorgeous, gorgeous day. ♥️ #aliciaannweddings

  • She has tears streaming down her face when getting her hair done, because of all the emotions of her big day. Tears streamed down her face again as she opened the card from her Groom. But when she saw her daddy? She was nothing but smiles....and HE was all tears. Kara’s first look with her dad was probably one of the sweetest I have ever witnessed and I am so very excited to blog this emotion-charged wedding day sometime soon :) #aliciaannweddings

  • As Lee Anne stepped into her delicate and lace filled gown and her mother looped the buttons, one by one, a stream of golden light flooded in. It poured through the large picture window and engulfed every inch of the room where the magic before the magic was happening. The bride’s hair reflected golden tones as she floated gracefully about, getting ready for her dramatic and anxiously awaited debut. Her skin, like precisely painted porcelain, glistened as she shifted her attention to her bridesmaids. It was almost time. As her doting groom stood at the end of the aisle patiently awaiting her arrival, the sun shone on. A photographer’s dream, it highlighted soft beauty in all the right places. Nothing was immune to its touch as it beamed down on an act of great love. Friends and family alike could feel its comforting warmth and see its dazzling effect. The sun provided the dreamiest of light throughout both ceremony and reception. And when it was time for it to retire, it did so in sublime fashion. As it set, and prepared to say goodnight, it left a sky of cotton-candy colors. Pinks, purples, oranges and yellows all working together to create the most treasured of skies. The sun’s light was a constant confidant throughout their wedding day, never leaving their side. A bright reminder that there love and commitment to one another was strong enough to illuminate anything it touched. Lee Anne and Geoffrey are on the blog today! Link in profile. #aliciaannweddings

  • A favorite shot from Wes and Moira’s wedding that I blogged earlier today (link in profile). I loved this moment after they walked down the aisle as husband and wife. The church does opened wide and the sun just poured in on them. It was such a beautiful moment! #aliciaannweddings

  • The look on his face as he was waiting outside Lord Thompson Manor for her to come out was priceless. He was nervous, that you could tell. But more than nerves, Wes was so obviously excited. It was apparent that he couldn’t wait to see the most beautiful woman he knew on the day of their wedding. Moira made her way out the grand front door of Lord Thompson Manor toward her soon-to-be husband and she had the biggest smile on her face. They both did. As they embraced, you could see any nerves just melt away….right alongside the tears of their bridal party and parents. Everyone was just elated, including the amazing staff that were all peering outside the door to watch Wes and Moira during their first look. it was a such a sweet, special moment as the sun bore down on them, reminding them that the warmth of Spring decided to make an appearance for them after a long, cold winter. Wes and Moira’s wedding at Lord Thompson Manor was everything they could’ve hoped and dreamed for. The food, the atmosphere, the decor, but mostly the people who they hold near and dear – all of it came to one big crescendo for their big day, and it was nothing short of perfect. On the blog today!

  • This might be one of my all time favorite bridal portraits that we’ve ever taken. When Josh sent me a sneak peak of this image of Julia on the morning of her wedding, I instantly felt a rush of emotions. I wrote him back and said “THIS IS THE BAR!!” I want every bride to have a stunning, timeless, relaxed, and natural portrait of her on her wedding day. I imagine Julia sitting in a chair with grey hair someday, with this image in a frame, and showing it to her granddaughters as they marvel over the beauty that she was on her wedding day. #aliciaannweddings #aliciaann_josh

  • Those quiet moments just minutes before the first look or ceremony are always some of my favorite on a wedding day. I feel like when most little girls picture themselves on their wedding day, they picture themselves getting dressed in the morning and then walking down the aisle. Because I know that first part is often something little girls dream about, I shoot not only for the bride herself but also for her daughters and granddaughters. So that someday, when they are sitting on the lap of the most beautiful woman they know, they have a tangible portrait to give a visual to their own dreams of someday being a bride. #aliciaannweddings
