Wow!  I know I say I am blessed all of the time...but it's SOOOOO true!  Kathy has been a huge fan of BerryTree Photography for a while now and when she got engaged, practically the first thing she did was contact me to see if I could shoot their wedding next June...how sweet is that?!  Of COURSE I said yes!  A destination wedding in one of my favorite areas of the country?...yes please!   She and her fiance, Mike, live in Portland, OR - it is SERIOUSLY beautiful here!  (and the no humidity thing...I could get used to this!)  While out in Portland for a photography workshop with some awesome photographer friends of mine, I decided to fit in an engagement session for this sweet couple! Kathy's dad is a pilot and owns a plane, and so we decided it would be incredibly cool to use it as a prop for

Sigh...Berry College...my alma mater and namesake of BerryTree Photography!  I LOVE this place!  It is seriously one of the most beautiful places on earth.  What I love best about it photography wise is that I think I could shoot there forever and never have to use the same locations twice!  For this engagement session we start out at the oh so popular picture taking spot...Swan Lake.  I don't normally shot here, but this is where Kelsey and Will got engaged...right there at that little swing.   So sweet!  Swan Lake has beautiful swans...and mean ducks!  You'll see what I mean!  I had a traumatic experience with one of them trying to kill me in college...so I usually avoid the lake at all costs...but...for the sake of pictures!  Next...a little more rural/rustic side of Berry...and my favorite shots from the day!  I feel like I'm in another country when I look

Seriously...love these two!  What troupers!  We got stuck in some BAD traffic and couldn't make it to our originally planned location for this shoot.  So...what did we do?  Pull off on the side of the road!  Literally!  We shot these images in a neighborhood that had been cleared and not built on.  There were some weeds that had grown up that kind of made it look like a field and some gorgeous light...so we ran with it!  Pretty impressed with how they turned out!  Of course...Jess and Jason are the perfect models!  They understood how to ignore the camera and just be with each other.  As you can tell from the images below they both LOVE life and each other!  Enjoy! First...just for fun...the "location" side of the road abandoned neighborhood... and now...to the images!

Brittni and Joby just moved here from AZ and decided it was the perfect time to get some much needed pictures of the two of them in their new environment!  They wanted GA woods and nature...and we found it here at Sope Creek!  This was an unbelievably fun shoot hiking through the woods and hunting for the best locations!  It was great working with you two...be of luck in your Georgia adventures!

...and...the engagement session!  I had SO MUCH FUN with these two!  I just LOVED that Tori followed my advice to a T with their wardrobe selections...they look so darn cute!  Enjoy!

Well...2010 was a pretty amazing year for BerryTree Photography!  I officially left my corporate job in August to make BerryTree Photography my full time career and everything has been amazing since then!  I got to shoot a wedding in Maine and was also flown out to shoot a wedding in San Diego - how cool that this photography job (that I LOVE) allows me to travel to some amazing places!  I've had AMAZING clients and really...just a fabulous year!  So...I meant to do this in early January...but...the last day of January will have to do!  Some of my favorite shots from 2010 (in no particular order)!  I hope you enjoy!  Sarah
