Melissa and Joseph 03-10-07

There are so many awesome images, I wish I could show them all. To be honest, I am not sure how we pulled this one off. Dawn and I were both horribly sick and Kristen had her first outing where I was not even available by phone(since I was sick in bed). To sound even stranger, this wedding couldn't have been much better, I just wish I had felt better so that I could have enjoyed it more.

Melissa and Joseph, we love you guys. You would do absolutely anything that we asked of you and didn't complain when you might have felt silly. You guys rock! There are no other words to describe you. We are sorry that the whole thing is over with. Here are the pics!

I will probably get in trouble for this, hahahahaha!

I love this. Melissa and Dad have a moment before the ceremony

The girls!!

I know I am out of order, but here's Melissa before the ceremony again. Couldn't keep the camera away from her.

I wish I had a shot like this of me and Dawn

This one is going in our gallery!

Dawn loves this series

I love this one even though it is pretty much a window light

Tadaa!!!!

Now I have to go so I can post her wedding online and take Dawn to work as we are down to one car again.

The Answer...

Thanks for playing along everyone...

I actually didn't see these until it was editing time as I was outside during the rehearsal. Great job, Kristen!

Isn't he cute?

So Melissa, are you ready to see your wedding?!?

WHAT'S IN THAT BAG!!!!!!!!!!

This is from Melissa and Joseph's wedding in Mobile, Al this weekend. Kristen actually took this shot as I was outside having an argument with my stomach. I ended up with the same virus that Dawn got Wednesday night which put her in the Hospital. Because of that, this was one of the coolest weddings and one of the most enduring that I have ever photographed.

Ah yes, the above question, the answer to come...who has guesses???

Lanee Etheridge

This little girl belongs to Kristy and Gary Etheridge, one of our couples from '05. Wow, I have been getting busier taking these baby images for our couples that have apparently been getting busy! Here are a few from her session!

This reminds me of sailing...hmm

Lindsay and Hank March 3, 2007

I'm a little behind since Dawn and I have both been sick(explain more later, well at least not into more detail), so I will be uncommonly brief. We travelled to our stomping grounds of Ocilla, GA on March 3 to shoot Lindsay and Hank gettin' hitched.

This is Presley, a flowergirl
She thought the wedding was her runway!

WPJA Competition results!

The Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) is a professional organization composed of photojournalists and wedding photographers from around the world. They hold 4 competitions each year, for each season. We entered like 4 images and we won with this one. We are very tickled as it was our first time entering this competition.

A DAY WITH PATTYANN!!! and Eric :-)

I've known Pattyann for something like 10 years or so. She is one of Kristen's friends, which is how I knew her. Then some years ago, she up and left with her family and moved to Augusta. The last thing I remember Pattyann and I doing was sitting in the back of a church during a funeral, trying to be serious but cutting up anyway! I got to spend the day with Pattyann and Eric as I did a rarity for me and shot Engagement and Bridals on the same day! I only wish we could have gotten to go out to eat after the meeting we had that night, but they had to drive back home. I can't wait, their wedding is going to be so exciting and fun. That's what matters anyway, right?

I started them off in the dirt. Hahaha

We had a lot of fun trying to perfect this shot!

Playing around in their hybrid car. They suck!

Wish I could post pics from her Bridals, but I'm afraid that Eric would accidentally see!!!

Ginsey and Blaine Part 2

On his way down to Spring Training, Blaine and Ginsey made a quick stop to do some more portraits. I only had about 30 minutes as he had to get to Orlando and I didn't want to be the reason he was late! I could have shot the two of them all day, but I'll take what I can get. I wish I had the bandwidth to show them all, but this will have to do for now.

Ginsey playing in the wind
Perfect moments. You can't plan them or fake them, you have to be good enough to get them! This was one of those where Dawn and I both had the same reaction when we were editing these. "This is the shot!"

Snuggling together

How cool is this?

The wind got carried away, actually so did Ginsey. (I know it's corny!)

This was Blaine's brainchild with a little help from me!
