You all may remember Sam from late last month and her wedding to J.C. at the Hurlburt Soundside Club. Her mother and I photographed her bridal session.
Can you say natural model??? I'm sure the fact that her mother Debi is a photographer has NOTHING to do with that...LOL Anyway, it was a blast working with my good friend Debi and an absolute honor to be able to participate in Sam's wedding and bridals!! I can't wait to see the images Debi has created as well!!
What a whirlwind of activity!! Desiree and Emmanuel got married yesterday at Beasley Park. The wedding was finalized and done in a one week time period before Emmanuel had to move on to another base. Since he was in school during the time of planning, Desiree did most of the planning herself checking with him via phone to finalize details. Oh, and did I mention she was also caring for four rambunctious (but really well behaved) children under the age of six? Yes, she is superwoman!!
The wedding went through a few time delays in beginning, but it all worked out as it ended with one of the most spactacular sunsets of the year. I guess a higher power wanted them to have those georgeous colors in their photos!!
Yesterday was really a special wedding as my friend and former fellow Northwest Florida Daily News co-worker Debi's daughter Sam got married. Actually, the lead in to this blog should have been "how many photographer's does it take to shoot the wedding of a photographers daughter?" The answer was three....LOL One video, one photojournalist and one traditional and all friends!! Butch and Dave were really fun to work with! It was fun, I think Debi was going nuts not getting to document Sam's wedding. I hope she was able to enjoy her role, for this wedding at least, as mother of the bride. Sam looked radiant and her sister Sarah performed the difficult task of maid of honor. The highlight of the evening was Debi dancing with her two daughters to a Beatles song and the love and fun of the family really came out. Good luck Sam and J.C.!!!!!
My daughter Alexis and her friend Hailey decided to help me out last weekend and play with a great new chaise I bought at the Florida Professional Photographers Convention in Orlando a couple of weeks ago. Little Spotte and her freshly painted paw nails joined in for the fun.
It was fun to just let loose with creative crazy images!!
Last week was a blast!! Dr. Tim Bassett and his beautiful wife Michelle asked me do do some fun images for their office Cornerstone Family Chiropractic. . Oh, and did I make note that their "child" a 20-something-year-old parrot and a starfish also needed to be in the image? As per the man on the beach with the starfish Bible story, Dr. Bassett wanted to incorporate it into the next month's newsletter. It looked like this: PeeWee did just what she needed to do and the Bassetts worked wonderfully as well. They are also very good at what they do.

For Libby and Greg from Indiana, the perfect destination wedding was in a sunny church along the pristine shores of Orange Beach, Al this weekend. It was a scenic and beautiful service with close family and friends sharing the special day. We all had our fingers crossed that Gustav didn't make a special guest appearance. Thankfully as happens more often than not before a storm, it was a sunny wonderful day!
Megan and I enjoyed the elegance of the church and were excited to see the reception site at an old lake house on Perdido Bay! The evening was perfect with great music, dancing and the glow of the sunset on the bay. Let's hope Gustav didn't harm any of these areas today.
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!!
