C’mon, baby! Time to come out and play with us!!
becca & brooks | an adorable CAMPING wedding!!!
There are no words. But I will try anyway. Let’s start with Brooks. Anyone can tell by the genuine joy on his face that he has to be the best groom of all time. Then there’s Becca. Gorgeous, yes? the MOST laid-back bride on the planet? YES! But then there’s the wedding details…..oh……my heart…The bunting! The paper cranes (1000 of them hand-folded by the groom). The yard games! The pot-luck dinner! The pie-contest! It’s all so good. I can’t go on…just go look.

springfield baby shower for my little bird :)
My friends BLEW ME AWAY this past weekend for my baby girl’s first shower. Seriously. They went all out incorporating the bird motif that I’m using in her nursery. I still can’t believe my eyes. THEN to top it all off, they had an organized craft where everyone made baby hair bows. My little lady now has about 50 custom-designed hair bows and they are CUTE!!!!!
Hosted by Allison Slone, Megan Smith, and Andrea Murphy. Invitation designed by Molly Fowler.
August 10, 2010 - 9:10 am - who designed your invites and printed tags and such? can i get them to design EVERYTHING i ever want printed EVER??! congrats, katie! :)
August 10, 2010 - 9:23 am - THANKS DUDE!!!!!!! One of my besties, Molly Fowler did the invite (wigwagstudios.com). I did the chocolate-bar-favors and wine-bottle-hostess gifts.

August 10, 2010 - 11:11 am [...] can see quite a few more images from the day right here. And, if you haven’t already, be sure check out her recent, and equally colorful, maternity [...]
our maternity shoot at the fair!!!!!
Okay, so I’ve been obsessing and visualizing this photo shoot like for 6 months, ever since I realized that the fair would be in town while I was 33 weeks pregnant. I’m super excited about it and it exceeded all of my dreams! And I got my husband to wear suspenders!!! DREAM COME TRUE!!!
A HUGE thank you to my friend, assistant, and lover, Molly for taking my camera, putting up with my bossiness and no-double-chin angle requests, and giving me this shoot as the BEST baby gift ever!! See previous post for my Molly-pimping.
August 4, 2010 - 11:29 pm - I have tears running down my face right now. You guys make me so happy with your happiness... I'm so excited to see your family grow! (Now I'm wiping my tears away feeling silly...) i want what you have someday!
August 4, 2010 - 11:45 pm - Oh Megan! you are SO sweet!!!! I adore you!!!!!
August 5, 2010 - 11:42 am - yay! they turned out so good! I'm so happy you like them!
August 5, 2010 - 3:08 pm - Katie these are just precious!!! LOVE the cotton candy series.
August 14, 2010 - 1:03 pm - You look so cute!!!! I want to go to a fair now! HAHA!
good golly, miss molly!
My only wish in the world was that Molly would never realize that she was WAY too good to be my assistant. Well dang it. She figured it out!!!
I’m super proud of her and her massive promotion to interactive project manager at Noble Ad Agency, AND for starting her photo and design biz, (wigwagstudios.com) which will no doubt be a great success. I’m selfish. I don’t want her to go. I ‘d like to keep her in my pocket forever. We’ve done two wedding seasons (over 40 weddings) together and have shared in life’s most awkward moments, witnessed the world’s most inappropriate father figures, and mastered the cupid shuffle.
So Molly, I wrote you an original song describing my feelings for you. Enjoy:
I will never find another lover sweeter than you,
Sweeter than you
And I will never find another lover more precious than you,
More precious than you
Girl you are close to me you’re like my mother,
Close to me you’re like my father,
Close to me you’re like my sister,
Close to me you’re like my brother
You are the only one my everything and
For you this song I sing
And all my life I’ve prayed for someone like you
And I thank God that I, that I finally found you
All my life I’ve prayed for someone like you
And I hope that you feel the same way too
Yes, I pray that you do love me too
I said you’re all that I’m thinking of
I hope you like. It was actually really easy to write. It just came to me. Weird.

August 5, 2010 - 11:43 am - Awww! Thank you! I can't believe we shot that many weddings together! It seems like it just flew by. This makes me happy...and it makes me sad....and it makes me happy.....
August 5, 2010 - 11:44 am - Oh! and you are the cheese to my macaroni...always remember that

andrew loves tara : the wedding!
You may recognize Andrew and Tara from their AMAZING New York engagement shoot here. And you may remember reading the story about how Tara single-handedly made all of my dreams come true here.
But today is the day that you get to see them get married! This wedding was special in so many ways. Many of them personal to me. I’ve yet to find someone as caring and thoughtful as Tara Copeland. From little things like booking my hotel room and inviting my husband to come, to big things like sending me hilarious daily emails for the past year, and talking me through the darkest winter of my life after I had the miscarriage with my first pregnancy. She has truly become a dear, lifelong friend to me, and i can’t believe i never would have met her if not for her finding me to do her wedding photography. Oh great, I’m crying now…..
So being emotionally invested in Tara and Andrew, it made this whole wedding day all the more meaningful to me. I’ve never laughed harder at any other wedding, and oh good lord, I was balling all the way through their ceremony. I’m shocked I got anything at all through my streaming tears. But at least I wasn’t alone, everyone was crying.
I blame Tara’s adorable grandmother whose 65th anniversary with her late huband was that same day. Tara and Andrew had a special tribute her as Tara’s ” ‘mo of honor” (yah, you heard me), Kenneth ( a beautiful man with a beautiful voice) sang their wedding song. Oh man. It was heartbreakingly wonderful.
And then there was the wedding details themselves!!! The whole thing couldn’t have been more Tara and Andrew. Bright happy colors, small children in tutus, snow-cones, the most epic candy buffet anyone has ever seen (made by the bride’s wonderful momma), parasols, mustaches on sticks!
If I had to pick a theme, I’d call it “pure joy”.
I also got to do the stationary and all the little graphic signs and things you see throughout.
Take a look. Fall in love with them. And especially enjoy the photo of my husband busting a move. He’s an epic dancer and a bada$$ second shooter, too. I was a proud wifey that day.
July 29, 2010 - 12:55 pm - Love it! Spoken for I bet ;)
July 29, 2010 - 1:28 pm - Love the Arkansas moonshine!!!
July 29, 2010 - 2:29 pm - I am crying and I've done nothing but look at these all week. I love it so much, Katie, and I love you.
July 29, 2010 - 9:08 pm - OMGoodness what a fun wedding for sure! The pics are AMAZING!! Thanks so much for sharing them! Congrats to the most happy couple too!
August 1, 2010 - 11:22 pm - What a beautifully, sweet, fun wedding! Georgeous shots! I can see the fun through your lens.
August 4, 2010 - 4:26 pm - What a fun wedding, love it!
August 5, 2010 - 9:05 am - Blown away Katie! You perfectly captured every detail...especially the love that was apparent on everyone's faces. Great job.
August 5, 2010 - 11:34 am - These photos are amazing! I'm tearing up just looking at them. What a fun couple!
August 20, 2010 - 2:08 pm - So much gorgeousness! Where in the world did the groom get those amazing collar stays?! What a great groom's gift!

nicole & jeremy | epic vintage eclectic wedding
This wedding. Oh, this wedding. It’s as if someone broke into my brain and found out every color and flea market find I’ve ever adored, and then made a wedding out of it. Seriously. I love everything about this wedding. There were rotary telephones, and telegrams, and vintage furniture, an amazingly quirky smile booth… the boutonnieres were made out of buttons and feathers. All of the cupcakes had little magical stamp feather things sticking out of them. the bride had amazing taste and then hired the brilliance of Sharon Taylor Designs to help her pull it all off.
Enjoy the magic, the whimsy that is Nicole and Jeremy….
July 22, 2010 - 12:32 pm - Oh my goodness! Love it. Sending you an email now - would love to feature it on the Inspired Bride!
July 22, 2010 - 1:00 pm - Love, love, love, love, LOVE it! I just shot a wedding at the Fire House a couple of months ago, SUCH a gorgeous venue!!
July 22, 2010 - 2:14 pm - Holy wowza!
July 23, 2010 - 12:13 am - Awesome.
July 29, 2010 - 8:00 pm - Brilliant and so much Fun...I was so privileged to do the Personal Bouquets...Thanks for letting me share in such a Joyful Celebration...
July 29, 2010 - 8:01 pm - Brilliant!
tara | senior amazingness
Tara defines the word “quirky”. Making her my very favorite kind of senior. Let’s see, she showed up with a 1980’s blazer, bubbles, waterwings, oh and she legitimately plays the kazoo. As in, “Hey, Tara, do you play any musical instruments?” “Why, yes, I play the kazoo.”
She’s legit. And super-hot. Check it.
July 22, 2010 - 1:28 pm - LOVE the water fountain pics! All of these are super stellar!
July 23, 2010 - 4:26 pm - i used to live in the building that she blew bubbles next to. :)
addison | 6 months and ALL smiles!
Oh, this kid makes my job EASY!!! Look straight at the camera and smile? Okay!!!
