Lacey and Jacob

2008-09-22T10:16:00.000-07:00

When Lacey first asked us if we were available to do a wedding for her at The Crowne, in downtown Pensacola, we were excited. We had wanted to do a wedding there for quite a while. The day was beautiful, the bride was beautiful, and the hotel was beautiful. One of the prettiest weddings we have ever had the fortune to photograph! Here are just a few of the best ones from the day.

Andraea and Clint

It was absolutley beautiful on Saturday in Seagrove beach for Andraea and Clints wedding. It was small, quaint, and lovely. The ceremony was sweet, and the sun set was incredible. Coming from out of state, they couldnt have ordered up a prettier day for their wedding. Enjoy a few of the images we made for them.

Bragg mansion bridal show.

The weather was warm, and it was a beautiful day at the Bragg Mitchell mansion in Mobile on Saturday. The brides were out in huge numbers, and we enjoyed chatting with them all about their special day. We had a drawing for a free wedding coverage and $300 in portrait coverage. And the winner is......Erika Trussell! Congratulations Erika! All other brides who registered with us can get 10% off of our wedding package should they choose to use us. Here are a couple images from the day!

Melissa and James

2007-10-17T07:59:00.000-07:00

We had a long drive up there and back, but it was worth it. Melissa and James' wedding, in Hoover, Al. was beautiful, the church was beautiful, and everyone had a great time. Photos were important to Melissa, and she set aside a lot of time thru the day for them. Well, it paid off. We created some wonderful images, and cant wait to get them to her. I said I would never post this many images from a wedding. Well, never say never. Can you guess which one of these was the grooms idea? LOL.

Saturdays wedding in Pensacola

2007-10-08T12:29:00.000-07:00

The afternoon was beautiful, as beautiful as Stephanie, the bride. The wedding was at the Pesacola Hilton, on the beach. The sun was out, and it was amazing. The clouds came in on our way to the reception, and it poured buckets, but everyone still had a blast. The bridal party was a ton of fun and Stephanie and John smiled the whole day. Here are a few of the ones we did for them.

Renees portrait session

2007-10-04T07:20:00.000-07:00

A couple weeks ago, a family friend of Renee's asked us to take a portrait of her daughter. She is a beautiful 11 Y.O. girl, and when she came in it was decided we would go with my favorite lighting, window light. After doing a few myself, i handed the camera over to Renee and she had a great time. Renee is very pleased with the way they turned out, and the mother loved them. These are some of the ones that Renee did, that the mother ordered.

A photo for a friend

A very good friend of mine gave me the ultimate compliment. Even though she is a photographer herself, she asked me to do some portraits of her as a gift for her husband. I was feeling creative, and have many images to go through, but this is the one that i envisioned, and it came out EXACTLY as I saw it in my mind. I know she and he will love it, cause if you know her, you know this shows her character.

Saturdays wedding

Renee and I did a BEAUTIFUL wedding in Destin on Saturday. When we arrived, the weather was just terrible. A tropical storm was visiting, and it was raining buckets. Poor Heather wasnt sure if she was going to have the wedding outside as planned or inside. She decided, literally, at the last second to do it outside, and the sun came out just as the ceremony started. It was georgeous. The guests stood around the lake-sized puddles, and Renee and i stood in the beach access pool to get the shots we needed. The bagpipers were a HUGE surprise! And i will have to say the officiate started the ceremony unlike any I have ever been to. MAWAGE!!! It was lots of fun. Here is one of my favorites from the day. We took advantage of the amazing indoor design elements and had fun!
