A VERY Merry Christmas to you and yours from Alyse French Photography and the Morrissey family! :)
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. Isaiah 9:6-7a
And a very belated Merry Christmas to you! Looking forward to everything 2012 brings… :)
I love that verse, it gives me chills to know that Christ’s birth was prophesized in such detail so many hundreds of years prior to.
love that you took the time to post on Christmas…. hope you had an amazing one!
GORGEOUS. Happy Christmas to you three as well! Love that beautiful puppy smile :)
LOVE. Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
I feel like I’ve been holding onto this little gem for FOREVER. Sara and Robert’s December 10th wedding was held at the Giddings Stone Mansion in Brenham, TX – and I barely have words to describe its beauty. So, there are – well – a LOT of pictures. ;) This bride left no detail untouched. And the anticipation with which this day has been so long-awaited was so completely exciting and joyful and just plain fun. I was SO blessed to capture it. S & R – Thank you for trusting me with your wedding day images! I hope you love browsing through your sneak peek as much as I did prepping this post! :) XOXO!!
Sara’s Alvina Valenta gown was easily one of the most beautiful dresses I’ve ever seen.
The glowing bride. Sara. You are breathtaking.
Happy Thursday! Which image is your favorite?

Beautiful photos, Alyse! I’m having my wedding at the Giddings Stone Mansion in June, and I’m wondering if you wouldn’t mind sharing–how did the bride come down the aisle? The venue recommended that we pull up in a limo/car or horse-drawn carriage, but that’s not really my style. The other option they offered is to come down the stairs in the house, but I want to walk up the center aisle through the guests. Did she come up in a car? Thank you!
I have seen many wedding photos, but never as beautiful as these!
Your images are like butter. Absolute butter. Always such a treat!
I love how true to life your colors always are. And your focus is so crisp! That’s definitely one thing I miss about shooting Nikon!

Alyse, you are so talented! All these pictures are goooorgeous and that could be one of the coolest bridal party shots ever! I’m so incredibly excited to have you shoot our wedding in, oh, seven more months:)
amazingly beautifully spectacular!! awesome job, alyse!
I have to agree with you! My favorite is of the couple sitting at the steps. Beautiful shot! :)

Yes, I feel a bit ridiculous. But because it’s my blog, I just have to tell you… My heart is buh-reeeaking over the fact that I won’t be seeing my baby dog for the next nine days. In fact, whenever I think about it, my stomach drops like I’m gearing up for a legit roller coaster ride. It takes thinking about chocolate cake to stop the tears from overflowing.. Sully really is my best (and sometimes worst) friend every. single. day. while I work from home. But we know he’ll be in the absolute best hands while we’re in NY! His breeder is taking him in, and he’ll get to spend quality time with his doggy mom and dad. :) (I can do this!)
CHRISTMAS!! It’s in four sleeps, 12 hours, and 15 minutes! Don’t get me wrong – I’m STOKED for the 25th – but I’m most excited for the days leading up to and following it. We’ll be spending the first four days with my family, and for the first time EVER, all of us kids have a significant other at the same time. I’m feeling a TRIPLE date, yo! I’m also most excited for huge meals prepared by all and eaten at the table for hours and hours and hours. OH! And my most recent obsessive idea is to document our family togetherness by setting up a photo booth in the living room. So get ready, blogosphere! This is going to be AWESOME.
You know… My dreams may make me out to be totally fabulous and brave and brilliant, but I’m kind of over crashing into windows because I’m running from some guy chasing me through an unfamiliar house with a machete. I’m happy to report that last night, however, I woke up just slightly before dying. :)
So I sort of debated posting this as I certainly don’t want to toot my own horn, but ultimately the pride I have in my alma mater won out. The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University was just named the NUMBER ONE journalism school in the country by NewsPro! Suddenly, all the frustration and tears spent on newswriting and portfolio reviews has been redeemed. :) I really did have the BEST experience there. BRAVO, Newhouse!! Bravo!
Song of the Week: Hero by Bethany Dillon. I’ve been re-falling in love with Bethany Dillon lately. Okay, let’s be real. I’ve always been in love with her. Heck, I’ve wanted to BE her. But this song specifically resonates with me. He’s the hero we’ve been waiting for. He has done the impossible! Check out Hero HERE!
I am just DYING to show you this week’s wedding post!! All the blog images are ready and waiting for the publish button, but seeing them on Christmas Eve’s Eve’s Eve will make it so much better, right? ;) Here is another sneak peak of Sara and Robert’s completely wonderful day and sweet first look!!
Happy Tuesday!!
