Sue and Darrell Blount – 11-25-06

Filed under: weddings — amberwright @ 2:49 pm

About a month ago now, i was out in vegas shooting my aunt sue’s wedding. My new uncle darrell is everything she has ever wanted in a man…not to mention everything we have wanted for her! He genuinely loves and cares for her…and it shows. From sweet kisses, to winks from across the room, to passing hand grazes, they are everything you would imagine a newly in love couple to be! I was so honored…and a bit surprised…when sue called me 6 six weeks prior to the date to tell me her and darrell were getting married and they wanted me to photograph it for them! I was so excited to have the opportunity to photograph such an intimate and important event for someone so dear to me…not to mention the rest of my family that would be there! It was a beautiful backyard wedding at sue and darrell’s home with their closest friends and family there to support them, with my cousin, sue’s daughter, Rayne as the maid of honor and darrell’s son, Ricky, as the best man. Before i get to the photos i have to give my mom some public credit for being the wedding planner and decorator, most of which she made herself, for not only my aunt’s wedding…but mine too! You’re amazing mom and you dont get the recognition you deserve for being so creative and such a great party planner! (email me if you have any party decor needs…i will pass them on to my mom). ok now for the reason you are here….the photos!! enjoy :)

we did all the preceremony shots at a little pond around the corner from sue and darrell’s house. i loved the weaping willow tree and all the large stones! they made for perfect backdrops and seating.

from left to right…my dad, he walked sue down the aisle…Ricky, darrell’s son…and darrell, the love of my aunt’s lifetime!

  4. My darling Amber….if the preview is just a taste of what is to come….you have certainly out-done yourself. Your talent is from your MOM. My sister Cindy. She is the artist in decorating and putting on a spread…and you are the artist that captures moments in time.I have been blessed to have you as part of my family. I love you!!!
