We went to so many amazing places on our trip. One of my favorite days was in Rhodes, Greece. We spent part of the day at BY FAR the most beautiful and serene beach I've even been to. St. Paul's Bay, (near the city of Lindos) is where the apostle Paul was shipwrecked on the way to preach Christianity to the Rhodians. Beautiful!!
Yes, that's right. Tomorrow I'm headed to the Mediterranean with two of my favorite ladies on the face of this earth: my mom and my grandmother (aka "Honey"). All I can say is I am so thankful to have this opportunity, and I'm feeling so incredibly blessed right now. I'd tell you more but since I have to leave here in 5.5 hours (and somewhere in there get some sleep and finish packing)...I'll have to fill you all in later!
Brooke Turner Photography will be running at about 25% while I'm gone. My fabulous assistant will be toiling away on some outstanding items, and (unfortunately) I won't be completely disconnected from the world. Emails and phone calls will be returned starting Aug 3.
Woops, I realized I never introduced you to my assistant! Her name is Lara Beth Hardwick and she's been training and working with me for the past 6 or so weeks. So if you get an email from her you'll know! She has been a blessing to work with and y'all are going to love her! (picture coming soon!)
From the first time I met with Carlee and Parker, I just knew their wedding was going to be fabulous!! Carlee has a background in event planning, and to say she is detail oriented would be the understatement of the year!
Carlee and Parker both have such vibrant personalities...I had so much fun working with them both! Everything about their wedding was so 'them'. From the converse sneakers that Parker sported during the ceremony - to the Dolce & Gabbana heels Carlee wore for the ceremony (and then changed into her pair of converse for the reception) - to the hashbrown bar (they celebrated their engagement by going to Waffle House) - and finally their New Years send off (they met NYE). Everything was just perfect and so thought out.

Here are a few from their wedding day:
Getting ready at Carlee's Parent's home:
They decided on a "First Look" which is where the bride and groom see each other pre-ceremony. It takes some of the stress and emotions away, and reduces the amount of time needed for pictures after the ceremony.
My friends, Heather and Brian, just had a baby! A sweet little boy named Bailey. I had so much fun hanging out with them last week and spending some time with the little man. You may remember Heather's maternity shots I did a few months ago. It's hard to believe Bailey is already here! Enjoy!
