Stand back folks, I won a merit and a Distinguished Award on one image and a merit on another. I am stunned and amazed! There was some awesome competition and I really enjoyed viewing everyone's images at the Florida Professional Photographers Convention in Orlando last week. And now the moment you have been waiting for....here are my extern Megan's Senior pictures!! She rocks. We still have one more to do...I'll post that one when it is shot :) In the meantime...enjoy!!
Ryan and Sara got married yesterday in Grayton Beach. They rented the home Atypical there. What a great fusion of beach and Asian style. And might I add a photographer's dream!! The wedding went great. There were a ton of friends and family attending. It looked like an LSU football game. Even the beach flags were yellow and purple......LSU colors!! Sara's sister Lauren designed all of the graphic elements (save the date cards, invitations, Jones soda bottles...etc.) and they were awesome!! She owns her own graphic arts company and is very talented. Check it out!! http://www.laurenholley.net Let's get to the photos though. Sara looked beautiful and there were no hitches in the wedding. Chef Todd from Stinky's Fish Camp http://www.stinkysfishcamp.com rocked the food. There was plenty and it was fresh and very good!!! The ladies from Bella Flora http://www.bellaflora30a.com made the event flow with flawless ease...and the flowers were stunning as well!! And you know you must be very careful when choosing an event coordinator. Some of the less reputable planners chose to use vendors that will give them a good kick-back and not worry about quality. These ladies were on the up and up. Now enjoy the images!! This was Megan's first full wedding to assist and she did just a fantastic job!
So here it is, come and gone, 8.8.08. While most of you were out watching the opening ceremonies at the Olympics, Michelle, Keith and their two dogs Jersey and Joe were getting married. The weather was picture perfect and the two K-9 wedding guests were very well behaved. Here is a little sneek peek of the wedding. ENJOY!!
It's been a hectic few weeks. During this time I have met new friends and seen quite a few old ones. I can't believe that my little friend Stewart is now going into Kindergarten!! I remember him when he was almost to small to walk!! How time flys for sure. Erica, a local high school student came to visit me this week. She wanted something a bit more funky and fresh for her senior portraits than the school contracted photographer was able to deliver. We went over to Baytowne Wharf and had a total blast!! Two years ago I photographed her sister with a water theme for her seniors. Erica was a bit shy at first, but then worked into being an awesome model!! She was a ton of fun and I just am loving the fire reflection on the wall. How cool is that? An urban setting in the middle of the little old beach town?
Another thing I did in the last couple of weeks was photograph the funeral of Okaloosa County Deputy Tony Forgione who was slain in the line of duty on July 22, 2008 leaving behind his wife, two daughters and a community of law enforcement and civilians trying to cope with the loss of "one of the good guys." Rest in Peace Tony!! Please remember that donations to help his family can be made to the Deputy Sheriff Tony Forgione Benefit Account: 17 S.E. Eglin Parkway Fort Walton Beach, FL 32548 Ph. 850.244.9900 | Fax 850.244.9901 Toll-free: 1.866.36.BEACH Let's show his family how much his service and their loss means to all of us.
