I’ve seen billboards for Harmony for ages. Their “sleep under the stars” slogan with photos of Celebration-type homes always made me want to visit! Jocelyn and Kevin’s wedding finally gave us an excuse. :)

They were introduced through a friend a few years ago, kept in touch, and didn’t begin dating for a couple of years. It’s hard to see how it took so long as these two just fit so perfectly together, but clearly things ended up just as they should!

We met Jocelyn at Harmony Golf Preserve where she was surrounded by adoring family members. (No, seriously- This girl is loved by all, and it’s easy to see why!)

Nate and I fell in love with Jocelyn’s sweet dad!

Jocelyn’s an only child, but you’d never know her 5 cousins weren’t her sisters when you’re around them all!

While Nate was taking bridal portraits, I snuck these of Jocelyn’s veil holder-downer without her knowledge. :)

Smartest move of the day? Having the girls and guys swap places because of the crazy wind coming off the lake!

Favorite. :)

Jocelyn, you’re gorgeous.

My favorite thing about Harmony? The on-site stable!

Loved this idea- Kevin and Jocelyn’s guests signed what will become their family Bible.

Oh, and I love that she changed into this little number for the reception!

Another favorite. ;)

Jocelyn and Kevin, thank you so much for having us! We wish you the happiest of ever afters!!

You can read about my love for Robyn in my post about her engagement session here.

I find the older I get, the pickier I get about people around me. Wait- That sounds sort of awful, let me start over. You know when you love someone so much that no matter who they choose to spend their lives with, that person can never quite match up to your love and admiration of your friend? And it’s not that you don’t like who they choose to marry, it’s just that you adore your friend so very much that no one could ever quite match up?

Well, Robyn’s wedding was extra special for me, because the second I met Jake, he reminded me so much of Nate and I was immediately as in love with him as I am with Robyn. These two truly have something special and seem to share that “thing” Nate and I have- I really look forward to seeing a long, happy happy happy marriage between these two kids. :)

Robyn and Jake were married at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in my hometown, Germantown, TN!

Right after Robyn and Jake’s first look, we drove them to Oaklawn Gardens for some portraits. There’s a very cool feeling about photographing weddings where I grew up- Here’s to many more Memphis shoots! :)
