Happy Friday everyone! Hope it was a great week and you have some time to relax and get away this weekend. It is summer after all and what’s better than a little road trip on the weekend to be inspired. Today, I’m starting a new series on the blog called Happy Friday! I travel so much and *sometimes* I get to explore a little and take some fun photos of all the places I visit. So, I’ll be posting one image every Friday from a beautiful location that I’ve traveled to. I have so many…what will be first???

SUMMER IS HERE!!!  And I can’t believe that it’s already July and half of this year is already over?!  Where did the time go?  Well I’ve been extra busy with weddings this spring and have had a crazy, crazy travel schedule.  Let’s recap where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to! 

4,610 Miles Driven
12 States
5 Islands
12 Weddings
8 Flights
13 Cities
Atlantic to the Pacific

I’ve been from the big city to the countryside, remote islands to cool mountaintops, sunny beaches to lush farmland.  So many different weddings all packed into one spectacular year already.  Can’t wait to see what the remainder of 2011 has in store.  Here’s a few more peeks into my travels:

The year started off right away with a beautiful winter wedding in Atlanta at The High Museum of Art - and we even had SNOW!!!

Spring sprung into action with this sweet couple at King Plow in Atlanta:

The dogwood trees were in full bloom for Kelly & Dan’s wedding at The Greystone in Piedmont Park:

In addition to all of my weddings, I also found time to second shoot for the talented Katie Murphy in Nashville.  We photographed at the beautiful Belle Meade Plantation: 

Next, it was back to the big city of Atlanta for this stunning wedding at The Pink Palace:

April ended with a spectacular & charming farm wedding that certainly beat out The Royal Wedding for my top pick of the weekend.  This wedding was so fun and so over the top gorgeous, that you’ll have to wait awhile to see it, as it will be published this fall.  Trust me, it is definitely worth the wait!!!

After the heat arrived in the South, it was a welcome respite to travel up to Highlands, North Carolina for a beautiful mountain wedding at Old Edwards Farm:

Then, it was off to Florida for a gorgeous, gorgeous island wedding in Boca Grande, Florida at The Boca Bay Pass Club:

Then, off to another great wedding with Katie Murphy in Nashville, Tennessee at The Barn at Loveless Cafe:

***Images coming soon!!!***

A beautiful and elegant Atlanta wedding at The Biltmore Ballrooms:

I had been waiting for this Jekyll Island wedding for a long time - so worth the wait.  It was such a gorgeous venue!

Then, to round out the first half of the year, I ended with a fun wedding in St. Simons Island, Georgia at a private residence on the river. Magical! 

What a great first half of the year!  Don’t forget about all of the exciting things still going on at MSP:

-MSP now has an office in PHOENIX!!!  I’ve hit the ground running and am now operating all summer out of the Phoenix office.  If you live in Phoenix or the southwest / west coast, please check out my website and contact me for details on my wedding packages. {There may even be a special going on for anyone who books a Phoenix Wedding - or west coast wedding - right now…hint, hint!}

-To celebrate the opening of my new office, there’s a big GIVEAWAY…check out my blog for more details!

-Editing, Editing and more Editing!  Lots to edit, so I’m keeping cool from the 110 degree temperatures and editing up a storm from all of these beautiful spring & early summer weddings.

-Lots of clients are designing their albums right now too.  I love designing albums and creating heirlooms for my clients to have for years to come.  New sample album photos are coming soon!  Also, don’t wait until the fall to start your album, contact me now to get an early start!

-MSP is currently booking for 2012 Wedding dates now!!!  As usual, May is filling up fast! CONTACT me today about your wedding and to reserve your date!

Well that’s all for now folks.  As you can see things are pretty busy around here and there will be lots of blogging with all of these gorgeous weddings very soon!
