Lauren’s Bridal Session | Florida Bride

Posted in Bridals

We have been itching…. ITCHING to show these for about 3 weeks now. Lauren and Marc tied the knot this past weekend, so we can finally post some of her beautiful bridal session photos. These were actually taken on two different days in two completely different locations, the last with her horse Warrior. We’ll have a quick preview of their wedding soon, so enjoy these for now!

Dress| Bridal Loft Pensacola

The first session was photographed in South Walton County at some of their amazing venues:

This session was photographed on her parent’s farm. It was a brilliantly sunny afternoon and the lighting was amazing….. Warrior was a little grouchy, but Lauren comforted him very well.

Ginny & Brad | Carillon Wedding

Posted in Carillon, Weddings

Ginny & Brad were our New Year’s Day couple for 2010 at beautiful Carillon. The weather started out cold and dreary, but the sun made an appearance right as we were starting their photos and it became a crisp, cold afternoon with the most brilliant light we could have asked for. We always love our Carillon clients and these two were no exception. Their wedding was featured on the always classy Southern Weddings Blog last month. In case you missed it, take a look HERE.

Sarah & Trey at Kelly Plantation | Destin Wedding

Posted in Weddings

Sarah and Trey were married this past December at the First United Methodist Church in Ft. Walton with reception following at Kelly Plantation. You might remember these Auburn Grads from their Auburn engagement session we did last year! We love these two and are happy that they just moved to Pensacola after their wedding.

There was lots of Auburn happening around this wedding! Hmmmm…. What could Trey be doing with that shoe? We’ll get back to that. One of my favorite ring shots from 09′How can you not love these blue shoes?
Sarah was just stunning… How about a formal photo? Or two….. Ah yes, the shoes. Trey was full force Auburn! Their first born…. CUTE dog! Some reception details…. Lot’s of red for the season! I really love this cake. Classic, beautiful, and it tasted really good! Of course this was a masterpiece as well! You’ll recognize this Auburn building from their engagement session. They left in a vintage Ford and it was a great way to end the evening!

Las Vegas Rowdiness

Posted in News, Us

Rae and I spent last week in the beautiful city of Las Vegas, NV at the annual WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) conference & trade show. This was out third time attending this event in the last 4 years, and we always look forward to seeing all the new gadgets the photography industry has to offer while attending seminars from other motivational photographers. We had two prints in the international print competition this year that scored high enough to win awards of excellence which you will see below. We had a really great time as usual and cannot wait to implement some of the new equipment we purchased and some new techniques we learned. Here’s a little photo tour:

First off, let me verify that I am a big nerd and I always book the plane seat with the Grand Canyon view when flying to Vegas (yes, I actually know the flight path to Vegas). Here’s a shot of Lake Mead I thought was pretty cool…

and here is part of the Grand Canyon from 35,000 feet. You can see snow in the higher elevations towards the top. I really loved this too. Puffy little clouds were covering the Arizona desert. This is why I am always willing to fight for a window seat This is just one of the two trade shows at WPPI. Lots of stuff to play with and purchase at discount! This is the wall where our winning prints were displayed. Baby Natalie on the bottom left (Rae-Portrait Division) and our lovely bride Sarah from 2009 on the top right (Wes-Photojournalism Division) as she was relaxing before walking down the aisle with her dad. Here are the actual photos: We also spent some time at night as we always have touring the Streets of Vegas looking for photo opportunities….There’s always a volcano erupting or a water show somewhere!

This is the newest development you may have seen commercials about for the Las Vegas City Center with the Aria Hotel. This was just started on our first visit 4 years ago and it is MASSIVE. I always love the Caesar’s Palace Hotel lobby as well…. No comment necessary on this one…..I think her words were “Look, I’m a picture”. We did however manage a cute head shot from our friend Mrs. Patsy Brown.
