Lisanne + David | 4.12.08

Saturday morning was a beautiful day with the looming afternoon forecast of rain. Welcome to Savannah in April — unpredictable weather and brides scurrying around all over downtown. It’s crazy to shoot on a day like Saturday because people are checking the forecast and worrying over the weather, but at the same time, the clouds make for dramatic photos and gorgeous filtered light. All in all, the weather cooperated for us though and let us make really gorgeous portraits for Lisanne and David that showcase their day as it unfolded.

When I arrived Lisanne had taken care to hang her beautiful dress in the front window. It was gorgeous with clean lines and simplistic details that allowed her beauty to be showcased. Just exactly as I had pictured her dress being.

Lisanne’s older sister was doing her makeup while her bridesmaids were coming in and out of the room getting sashes tied and family enjoying some lunch before the big day began.

A last look before heading over to the Cathedral and slipping in the dress and adding a final detail.

For the second weekend in a row, I got to work with the ladies from Colony Bay Flowers. They do amazing work and this weekend was no exception.

One of the details I love about my job is working with historic architecture. As many people know, before becoming a wedding photographer I worked in places like New Orleans and Charleston to document historic buildings for the National Park Service. I love letting that influence carry over but get to stretch my creative side a whole lot more.

After the ceremony and some family pictures in the church, the bridal party loaded into a trolley and headed over to Forsyth Park. The azalea flowers were all gone but the trees were blooming and the glory of the park was in full swing.

It’s really hard being cuddly and romantic when the trolleys are coming by screaming, whistling and honking! You can’t help but laugh though.

After almost getting rained on at the Park, we headed over to Ships of the Sea for the reception. To see some of the fun that was had you’ll have to check out the slideshow. Two parting shots to show you what a sweet couple Lisanne and David are and what an awesome, party they threw for family and friends.
