Thanksgiving weekend we got to shoot Ginsey Paulk and Atlanta Braves pitcher Blaine Boyer's wedding. What an extravaganza! We had so much fun and everyone was so much fun to work with. We actually dusted the cobwebs off of Amanda so that she could help us out and get out of the office or wherever she's been. I actually started photographing the day before at her bridesmaids luncheon where I got to meet some of the girls, there were about 17-18 of them! Then, it was on to the rehearsal dinner and the wedding. There had to be easily over a thousand people at the wedding, what a show of friendship!! Ginsey and Blaine are 2 of the nicest people that you will ever meet and it was easy to see how many people their lives have touched.
Ginsey's mom, Ginger said that a Ladybug was good luck.
I knew this was a winner the moment I saw it. They were supposed to be handing out programs to the guests, but a little suggestion from a guy with a camera and whammo!!

Not sure I can't explain this one. I think that is a Boar's head.
I apologize ahead of time ladies for not knowing all your names, but here's Brian McCann, his girlfriend, Adam LaRoche and his wife, Ginsey and Blaine, then another groomsmen(sorry I can't remember your name) and his girlfriend.

22 Groomsmen!!(not sure they are all here though)
Dawn's favorite shot from the wedding. She is also a big fan of Brian.
I am sure that someone will correct me, but this is Brent(maybe Brett) with his daughter.

This is Trav, I hope. I really tried to remember everyone's name!

This shot is for you, Ginger!

Alot more blogging to come...

In Mobile, Alabama

We're in Mobile at the Hotel about to leave to shoot the totally awesome Melissa Moorehead's Engagement and Bridal session. We had dinner late last night with her and Jennifer Simpson, her coordinator. I think we are going to have a great time today. I will post the images when I get back to the office. Maybe I can get her in the parking garage...


Oh, a very special thanks to Kristen who worked late for us last night on Melissa Jackson's engagement picture. I hope she has a wonderful time in the Dominican Republic!

Talk to you guys soon!!

Shooting Ginsey!!

I can't believe the last few weeks. It's already December, we have hit a record number of weddings for this year and have almost booked more than half of next year! My Thanksgiving went by in a blur of Ginsey as I spent a good portion of the week photographing this girl and having a blast! I shot her bridals the Monday before her wedding, so I tried to be tame for fear of messing up the dress.

We started in her bedroom, how much does that rock!?!
On the porch, overlooking the lake in front of her house.

Ginsey was goofing off on the staircase!
Back to her bedroom for some pics on the bed. Here she is playing with her Manolo Blahniks.
I love this one!



There is so much more to come. Her wedding will be the next thing that I will put on here, I think. It rocked, but more on that to come. We have a busy few weeks ahead of us. We are off to Mobile, AL towards the end of this week to photograph a kickin' chick. We haven't got to meet her yet, but I loved getting to talk to her and I love getting to talk to Jennifer, her coordinator. Melissa, here I come girl!!

Elizabeth and Gentry's wedding is an example...

...of why I absolutely love this job!!
After a long awaited overdue time period, here is the sneak peek to Elizabeth and Gentry's wedding. This was a fantastic wedding, I don't even know where to begin describing it. First of all, I am so thankful to Elizabeth and Gentry for giving me so much playtime before the wedding. We got some amazing images from it! Elizabeth is gorgeous and so very cool. Gentry is fantastic, speaking of fantastic, he is a fantastic singer,you should check out his website Gentry Morris. As soon as we get the song downloaded we are going to feature his music on our website! We are so going to use their wedding as a sample album, I knew that before we took the first image.

Elizabeth getting ready!

WOW!!
Gentry is easy to photograph, too.
"M" is for Morris. One of the table decorations at the reception.

After the ceremony
This was so special, after the horse and carriage took them away, we hurried over to Elizabeth's parents house where there was a gazebo set up. Elizabeth surprised Gentry with their first dance! Everything was set up by the time the horse and carriage got to the house. I think they knew I was there, but I was trying to hide in the bushes anyway. Problem is I'm a lot of person to hide, even in the dark.

I have been working hard this week. I am about to post a teaser for Elizabeth and Gentry's fantastic ceremony. Can you say sample album spectacular!!

I have been working on several things at the same time, though. I love this couple, Sarah and Paul. They are so cute together. A couple of weeks ago, we went back after they moved back from New York and shot some more bride and groom pics.

Here are a couple:

More to come...

Kristin and Courtland

Ceremony: First Methodist Church
Reception: The Crescent
Band: The Dirk Howell Band
Caterer: Covingtons

I just can't seem to keep up. We shot Kristin and Courtland's wedding on the 4th of this month. It was our first wedding back from our brief hiatus and I was ready. Kristin and Courtland were a lot of fun. They had a beautiful ceremony at First Methodist followed by a fun but brief reception at The Crescent. We started at the Crescent with some nice and easy bride and groom pics. Then we were off to the church for some chicken nuggets and stomach aches! We had a hard time finding a parking place at the reception. We had to park at a salon that was next door. At the reception, Jason(I think was Quin's boyfriend, could be wrong) wowed us all with his mad skills on the guitar. Hope you enjoy the pics!

Here is another portrait session that we shot during our "time off". This is BeaJ Grant, one of our beautiful brides from March '04. This is her baby boy. I was really glad that Beaj's mom and sister came with her that day to help keep the baby occupied. Sometimes I think I have a big blinking sign on my head that says "I'm scary". If you don't believe me, ask John Halter. He says that I have been scary ever since he can remember and his daughter Megan shares his opinion. Anyway, had a great time at this session and I look forward to some other baby sessions that I have on my calendar!!

HERE ARE SOME PICS!!
