So I finally finished Ginsey's wedding!! I am so excited and I think it's fabulous. Speaking of fabulous, let me introduce you to Elizabeth Jones, the definition of fabulous. This girl is a bundle of energy. We had a wonderful time together and I am very excited about their wedding coming up in May. Here are a few shots from their session. Odd tidbit, once we got to the laje house, I ripped my pants, so I shot the rest of the session with a breeze!

A very strange building, I have always wanted to use it.

What you can't see here is a tux in the window that she likes for Tony.
Jack-in-the-Box!! In a back alley.




Still more to come...and Elizabeth, I am still sorry.

So...I am still working on Ginsey's wedding. Finally got the reception done, so it's on to family and then bride and groom. However, I thought I'd share some of our favorites from the sessions that we have been shooting since then.

This is from Melissa and Dennis engagement session in downtown. We were so excited that it didn't rain, although there was a shot that we had wanted to do in the rain. Still, the plan went from shooting in hotel lobby's to inside and outside hotels. I am really looking forward to their wedding at The Biltmore Ballrooms in June.

Here we are getting started.


Loved this shot, the minute I took it. She is so beautiful, I can't wait to see her in her wedding dress!!


A little lean this way or that and this could have been dangerous! Ha, I laugh in the face of tradition and danger! Hahaha.




More sessions to come...

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!!

Shiloh farms at night!

Becky dancing with one of the flower girls. By the way, Becky owns Kiss the Bride, a wonderful dress shop in downtown Valdosta. Girls, if you are getting married, definitely check it out.

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.
In the limo
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!
12 of the 17-18 bridesmaids!!(I think the others were small children)
The whole wedding party

Blaine looking quite fashionable
This shot is for you, Ginger!
These are for us!

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!!
