Donnell Probst Photography fans, meet Chrom!  Chrom, meet Donnell Probst Photography fans!

I also want to extend a HUGE thank you to Missy and Andy for taking a chance on me when I had no wedding portfolio to speak of and hiring me as their photographer!  It was an amazing experience and their special day will always hold a special place in my heart!  THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Finally, another big thank you to my second shooter, Traci from Traci Branscum Photography… she was so patient with me through my nerves and I was so happy to have her by my side… even with a very sick 7 week old at home!   Also, my good friend Jen helped me out during the reception and tried relentlessly to fix a temperamental off camera flash!  Thanks to both ladies for joining me on Missy and Andy’s special day!

Here is just a peek at a few of my favs from the wedding – I have many, many more to edit, but these made the top of my list so far!   I will post some vendor information once the happy couple returns from their honeymoon!

You can also view a slideshow of some of my favorite images from the day HERE!

Enjoy!
