Sydney and I first met at a Starbucks inside Barnes and Noble. I couldn’t help but notice her adorable brown doe eyes. Basically the best and most accurate way to describe Sydney or ‘squid’ as her friends and Chris call her, is simply adorable. She really is.
We actually happened to know a lot of the same people, even though we didn’t know each other. When she hired me and told me they booked the Cadre, a Memphis favorite, I was a bit nervous because the Cadre is its OWN kind of beast. I loved it though, and I’m eager to shoot a few more of my upcoming weddings there in the future.
I met Sydney at her hair salon the morning of, and she was as cool as a cucumber. It turned out that her hair stylist, the one she did her hair trial with was sick. Where a normal bride would have either fainted, turned into bridezilla, or sobbed, Sydney shrugged her shoulders and just rolled with the punches. I love that about her.
For those of you who don’t know, the Cadre is in downtown Memphis and the architecture is just lovely. I actually wish I knew more about it, I must call Ted Mosby from ‘How I Met Your Mother’ and ask him.
I’ll let these pictures do the talking =]
Enjoy.
I love Sydney’s expression.
Sydney wrote Chris a note, and gave him Lucky 7 scratch off cards since they got married on June 7th!
Sydney’s yellow canary diamond was pure perfection.
I wanted to snag that coral vintage suitcase, it was too perfect!
Holiday Flowers did SUCH a great job with the flowers and Holly Burris of South Holly Road did an incredible job bringing Sydney’s vision to life. http://southhollyroad.com/
I wish I would have had enough courage to rock a birdcage veil on my wedding day. Sydney, you are fierce!
The bridesmaid on the right is named Cricket. That’s her real name. The cutest name I’ve ever heard.
Sydney is a doe eyed beauty!
I love grooms/groomsmen with personalities
Apparently John and Chris BOTH share a love for penguins!
Sydney warned me ahead of time that she and her dad were silly together. She said it only made sense that they walk down to the bridal march remix. Needless to say the crowd got really involved.
Chris couldn’t help but laugh at Sydney breakdancing down the aisle.
I get to shoot these cutie’s wedding in October of next year!
Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Gully!
