So... I'm back. :) And it's full speed ahead. I had a wonderful vacation with my family and I'll post pics on that soon.

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing a fantastic wedding. I wanted to post a few of those and then it's off to another wedding. Amy, if you are back from your honeymoon...I hope you love these!

She wanted fun shots.... this is hilarious!

Lots of rain on June 14th... but, we had a great time! I'm so glad everything worked out for Deanna and Cameron's big day. We had a beautiful setting in the gardens at Richmond Hill Inn. It would have been a shame to come inside. :) Thanks for making me feel like family! Love you guys.

I've been home with a sick little boy for a few days and I haven't been able to post like usual. I escaped to my office for a little tonight and started to edit my atlanta sessions from last week. This little newborn was perfect in every way...

Career Day at my office. :)

katy_cook@charter.net (Katy Cook Photography) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:06:00 +0000

I had a great time today with the Career Camp! Several kids came to my office to learn about me... how fun! I'm not the best teacher, but I hope they had a good time. I took a picture of "Abby" and showed the kids step-by-step what I do. :) I'm posting an after of Abby and a pic of me and the class. Thanks for coming! I had a great time and it was a welcome break.

So, I'm finally posting Asheley's wedding from June 7th!
What a day! It poured rain for almost two solid hours. I've never seen a bride so relaxed about the rain. What a blessing the weather was... I had beautiful light.

Liz and Chris ~ Charleston Wedding

katy_cook@charter.net (Katy Cook Photography) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:09:00 +0000

this pic of the bride is my favorite shot of the day....we had a lot of wind.

I wanted to post a few sneak peek pictures for Liz and Chris. What a beautiful day we had in downtown Charleston, SC! This family is so warm and welcoming. I loved every minute of the day. :) I was also happy to share shooting with my husband, Marc. Who knew we could work together so well? ;)I was hoping to post these on my new blog, but it's not ready yet.... Here you go!

blog updates...

katy_cook@charter.net (Katy Cook Photography) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:26:00 +0000

i'm trying to update/pimp my blog a bit and I'm getting frustrated. Might be ugly the next couple of days. :)

a happier post ~ Jeremy and Maggie

katy_cook@charter.net (Katy Cook Photography) — Fri, 30 May 2008 17:08:00 +0000

I wish I could have posted these sneak pictures earlier. I had a great time at this wedding in Ohio. I know the Ramsey family very well and what a pleasure it was to get to know the McCoy family! Thanks for having me to your little town! Hope you like your glimpse.

this is a tribute shot for memorial day. :)

a sad time for my family

katy_cook@charter.net (Katy Cook Photography) — Wed, 28 May 2008 14:29:00 +0000

An update: My father-in-law passed away yesterday at 1:30pm. We were all with him at his bedside and it was very peaceful. Thank you for your prayers.

I am saddened to write this post. I have been unable to work or respond to e-mails for the past few days. My father-in-law has been fighting a long and hard battle and it seems he won't be with us much longer. I've been at the hospital with my husband keeping vigil at John's bedside. Please say a prayer for my family. I ask for your patience as I forsee a delay in my phone/e-mails over the next week. God bless.

Tristan ~ Maternity Session

Katie and Jeremy - Grovepark

katy_cook@charter.net (Katy Cook Photography) — Wed, 14 May 2008 01:39:00 +0000

What a weekend! I really have so much I could say about Katie and Jeremy and their beautiful union! What a fabulous mix of family, friends and warmth. I felt as if I was part of the family. I witnessed a rehearsal dinner that could have easily passed for a wedding reception in it's own right. I documented a family football game prior to the wedding that had many laughing to the point of tears. And then of course, I witnessed a ceremony that committed to wonderful people together for a lifetime. I was moved by the whole event. What can I say? I love weddings! Such a great start to the season.
Special thanks to my assistant, Kerry Puckett and also to the wedding planner, Tara Jordan. www.weddingswithtara.com
On with the wedding...

Happy Mother's Day!

katy_cook@charter.net (Katy Cook Photography) — Mon, 12 May 2008 01:30:00 +0000

I just wanted to wish a happy mother's day to all the mommies out there... I have been so blessed with two beautiful boys...and I love all the kids I've had the pleasure to work with. My best wishes to the mom club! :) I've posted a pic of my youngest, Cole. He was a sweet 2 weeks when I took it. How I just love him.

My cute nephew, Alex

This one is so sweet! That head to the left is my nephew, Matt, loving on his brother.

I finally get a chance to post a few pics of my sweet nephew. I saw him in Atlanta last week and couldn't resist a few shots. I can't believe he's 3 months already!

Stuart and Jeremy... Engagement!

I had the pleasure of photographing Stuart and Jeremy this evening. I have to say a big thank you to Kerry my new and lovely assistant. She will be helping me with some weddings this year and it was great to shoot with her. Stuart and Jeremy had a paparrazi of photogs today! Anyhoo... on with the sneek peek. ;)

It's always a pleasure to photograph a little one again! I had a great time with Ella at the botanical gardens last night. We looked at all the rocks and fish and she shared her snacks with me. Becky, it was great to see you and your lovely family again! Enjoy the sneek!
