When Kelly and Dusty got engaged, I am honored to say I was ONE of the first to know. It was New Year’s Eve, and I was sitting on the computer editing pictures. (No way right?) I got a text from Kelly that said : “I’ve got news for ya Kelly Ginny Ginn” My response: “SHUT UP!!!! Engaged?!?!?!?!?” And then Dusty and Kelly sent me this:
Dusty painted on several canvases “WILL YOU MARRY ME?” which is precious because the love birds had planned on going out to a painting studio, but the times conflicted with their busy schedule.
When Kelly announced that she wanted to use ME as her wedding photographer I gasped. This girl could use anyone in the world, and she liked my work enough to want me! I’ve been thrilled ever since. I met Kelly at the University of Memphis during sorority rush. She is always SO incredibly supportive of me and all that I do/try to do. Over three years ago, when we had just become friends she posted a FB status for me on my birthday, and we’ve been friends ever since. She and Dusty even came to our wedding, so needless to say, we LOVE the soon to be Warrens. I personally am a BIG fan of the Rash family. (Kelly’s side) Although I have yet to meet momma Rash, I feel like I know her because she too is VERY supportive and personal, now we know where Kelly gets it from. (I can’t wait to meet you momma Rash!)
We planned on using the FedEx forum for part of Kelly and Dusty’s engagements. Why, you ask? Because Kelly is a Grizzly Girl, and the forum is a very special place to her. I was SO excited to be able to use it. I would like to give Thomas Carrier a big THANK YOU for letting us use the forum for part of Kelly and Dusty’s engagement session, you ROCK!
Kelly and Dusty met through one of Kelly’s mutual friends from elementary school. One night Kelly’s friend was DJ’ing at an event and told Kelly to come meet Dusty, or Dizzy D, as some know him. (Yes, Dizzy D is a very talented musician.) Kelly was already a fan of his music so she decided to go meet him. I’m sure glad she did because she said they clicked instantly and haven’t stopped laughing ever since. Kelly and Dusty are getting married THIS September, and John and I are simply thrilled for both of them. We cannot wait to be a part of your day!
We hope you enjoy these!
Kelly found this amazing mural online, and emailed it to me. I had gone by there a time or two to check it out and saw tons of signs that say ‘no trespassing.’ So she emailed the company and they gave us clearance to use it! Don’t be afraid to ask, people!
I love this!
Can you tell I was a bit obsessed with this gorgeous stained glass window? This is actually someone’s home, and he was nice enough to allow us to use it!
These next set of images are my favorite. When I saw Kelly and Dusty’s personalized sign, I screamed. It was HUGE!
Love Kelly’s sparkle grizzlies jacket
Shout out to John Ginn for this gorgeous image!
We then headed to the Peabody Rooftop.
Kelly and Dusty were dressed PERFECTLY for the Peabody Rooftop.
Kelly’s dress was AMAZING
How romantic?
Thanks for spending an entire evening with us! Can’t wait for September.
Tommie Brown - Dusty and Kelly,
So very happy for you both! Praying every good gift from God over your future!

Lizz - I was one of Dusty’s cooperating teachers when he was going through his student teaching and just think the world of him. And, knowing him, I’m sure Kelly is awesome! You have done a great job with these pictures and I can’t wait to see their wedding photos!
