Stephanie and CJ's Big Bluff Mountain Wedding

These folks were here just a few months ago for their engagement photos. Stephanie had a totally different look for her wedding day, don't you think? CJ had pretty much the same look, just add a tux...


Can you tell already it's going to be a fun day???


There was a little dispute between Stephanie and her sister about who was actually supposed to have the heirloom necklace. It turned out OK but was a little touchy for a minute.


Here's one I'll submit to Bride Magazine one day, if they ever ask me...


Here she's sneaking up the stairs out back while CJ and the guys are coming in the front door. We had her covered...






The bridal party was a lot of fun and open to any sort of poses we threw at them. Thanks guys!



And we had some great afternoon sky for a backdrop.



We had a lot of fun with this group. Thanks for finding us here on the mountain. We wish you the very best.

Gwendylon and Lewis

It was an intimate affair for just close family and friends with a lot of love. You can see it on their faces.. just take a look.













We wish this happy couple a long and happy life together. Cheers!!!

Billie Jo and Johnithan

It was a beautiful day for a wedding here today, and these folks took full advantage of the situation!


Prepping and primping...


Evidently the size XXS tux didn't fit this little guy, but he was sure cute.



Billie Jo looked like a movie star! They had a 1920s theme complete with the music of the era.





Quite a smashing bunch of guys, no?








One of the bridesmaids got him on the cheek, but we'll never tell...







As I was walking back to the house following the big day, this guy was hanging out next to the front door. I hear they're supposed to be good luck, so we're hoping that's the case for all involved in today's event. Best wishes to the happy couple and their great family.

Nicole and Justin's Engagement Session

Nicole and Justin came up from Alabama today for a planning session and some engagement photos. We're looking forward to seeing more of them next March. It's going to be quite an affair.. a big church wedding, then a grand reception here at the inn!

Taylor and the Beauty Pageant

This is our friend Taylor. You might remember her from some recent cheerleader shots. Anyway, Taylor decided she wanted to enter the Fairest of the Fair contest this year, so we volunteered to help (it is the volunteer state you know...)


Here she is practicing her speech and poses for the runway.


There were going to be some skates involved, but that got changed at the last minute. She did practice a lot though...

as her loving coach/stylist/beauty queen consultant looked on.


Here she is just before leaving for the fairgrounds. I wasn't sure about the hair thing, but I knew they had a plan.


And voila, instant beauty queen! (we can just imagine Stevie Wonder playing "Isn't she lovely" in the background, no?)


She even got a trophy!!!


And although it wasn't the biggest trophy in the house, she was very proud, and we were all very proud for her. After all, it was her first time. We have a feeling it won't be her last...

Congratulations Taylor! Good job.
