Kimberly and Chase are getting married next year – and they’re going to help us create one of the coolest shots we’ve ever done for a wedding! We had a great time with them, shooting around the big metropolis of Ray City for their engagement session. Let’s take a peak at some favorites!

Just hangin’ around the swamp… stylin’.

Everyone digs our cotton field shots – and dang, don’t Kimberly and Chase look awesome?  Fo’sure.

Boo-yah! Ever in search of adventure – we met up with Kellie and Josh in downtown Valdosta on the day of the prom. Needless to say, the area was packed with couples (and photographers). After some quick shots, we loaded up and headed to Adel. First stop was the Parrish House - where Josh’s family tempted us with awesome bacon wrapped filet mignon. Honestly – we came back and dug in after the shoot – it was awesome! Here are some images from their session…

Amelia and Zac got married last Saturday – and we were there!  Filling up the congregation at Azalea City Church of God – Zac and Amelia’s family and friends saw them tie the knot in a ceremony filled with laughter, tears, singing, and some borrowed religious traditions that made the entire thing awesome.  Enough of my chit-chat… you came for the images.

Amelia and her ladies…

Zac and his guys…

Sigh.  You know if a wedding has kids in it… Lisa will be there shooting them.

A quiet moment just before Amelia goes down the aisle…

Amelia escorted down the aisle…

Zac serenades his bride…

Lighting the Unity Candle…

Mazel Tov!

Smoochin’ Time…

We’re Outta Here…

Zac and Amelia’s First Dance…

Krispy Kreme trucked in for the wedding.  These are my people.  Honestly – Lisa and I sampled from this table.  A couple of times.

Awesome cakes.  Yet again I didn’t get to try any.  Such is the life of a wedding photographer…

Zac’s attempt to smear cake on Amelia back-fired just a tad…

Bouquet Toss!  Some people seem to be more excited than others.  Biggy Smalls wrote a killer rap about this as I recall.

Blog exclusive – I make an appearance as a hand model!  I know!  Bear witness to my manly wrist – hefting a Nikor 70-200mm aint like dustin’ crops boy.

Zac and Amelia bustin’ out to a bubble good-bye!

Zac and Amelia left – but the love fest continues.  Really, don’t ask…

We had the pleasure of photographing Sarah and Matt’s wedding at the Ravine this past weekend!   There is always a chance of rain – but the tiny 30% chance on Saturday turned into a Monsoon!  Good thing Matt and Sarah are so laid back – they weren’t phased in the slightest, and the wedding went off without a hitch.  Here are some images from their big day!

Sarah checking the skies for rain…

Sarah and her ladies…

A quiet moment before the ceremony…

A sudden downpour forced everyone inside… Matt (the DJ) helps save the day by keeping the tent standing!

The rain didn’t stop the ceremony though!

Thankfully the rain stopped, the sun came out – and we were able to get some cool outside shots…

You know if there are children at a wedding – Lisa will find them – and be photographing them.

The cutting of the cake!

Sarah’s icing removal technique drew quite a bit of laughter!

A tender moment during Sarah and Matt’s first dance…

And a final quick shot at the end of the night…

Meet Jarred and Lauren – one of our couples getting married in April of this year.  And, as you can see – they weren’t shy, and busted out some goodness for us!

Lisa and I seriously dug this 1970 Chevy Truck…

We’ll see you guys in April!

Jessica’s mom got this handkerchief two years before Jessica was born – it was destined to go with her on her walk down the aisle on her wedding day…

Bustin’ out the sass with a Shotgun, Hunting Jacket, and Boots.  I could clearly hear Lisa saying “You go Guurrrllll!”…

Jessica and Abby working it for the camera…

Jessica’s Mom lighting their side of the Unity Candle…

The Kiss!

Jessica adjusts Jame’s aim…

The single guys employ several strategies to insure that they don’t actually get the garter…

EEEWWWWWW! …  Um, can I give this back???

Smokin’…

Last shot of these two love birds before they head off towards St. Augustine…

Have a great time guys!

Greetings Blog Peeps!

Welcome to 2011! We started the year off with a bang ~ rockin’ out at Jimmy and Laura’s amazing Thomasville wedding. Incredible weather, awesome people, cakes beyond Tony’s ability to control himself, and two people in love. You really can’t beat that…

Let’s look at some images from their day (especially before Robin kicks my butt for being a couple of days late on posting this).

Grandpa helps out…

Jimmy bustin’ the GQ out in front of Laura’s house…

Laura took my “you’re a panther” direction a bit more seriously than I expected.

Check out Laura…

A tender moment during their First Look…

Laura’s Dad escorts her to the altar…

The Wedding Party ready to enter the reception…

The wedding party entered dancing – it was awesome!

Their First Dance as a married couple…

Laura and her Dad had a tender and sweet dance…

Then they kicked it…

Their dance generated some questioning looks…

But the majority of the crowd loved it.

Jimmy’s dance with his Mom was less flashy – but just as sweet…

Awesome cake!

And the dancing continued into the night…

Another young photographer was working the dance floor with us…

The dancing started to wear out some of the wedding guests…

And some smoochin’ at the end of the night…

I know, another blog post on the same day! I like to space them out – but Christmas has me running behind!

Let’s say “Howdy” to Sarah and Matt. Matt and Sarah are getting married here in Valdosta in April of 2011. The first thing you’ll notice about this couple is that they love to laugh. Matt was keeping Sarah smiling throughout the engagement session (which is a good thing), and knew how to bust it down when mackin’ was required.

Let’s take a peek at some of the images from the session!

TIGER FACE!

SMILEY FACE!

Classic couples portrait…

April is going to be awesome!  Ya’ll did great!

Hi All,

Meet Jessica and James!  A plucky young couple who are very calm and collected, and aren’t fazed at all – say for instance when their photographer completely screws up the directions going to a shoot location (just down the road) and has them all end up in Florida.   I would like to blame Lisa… but I got completely lost.

Anyway, James and Jessica are getting married in February 2011, and we have the honor of shooting their wedding!   Let’s take a quick peek at some shots from their session!

[  James is a natural model.  He was bustin' out a new look everytime I clicked the shutter.  I honestly just stood back and watched him work in awe.  Epic.   Jessica?  She's no James,  but she did alright.   ]

We asked them to practice kissing a few times…

From the “Look seriously into each other’s eyes.  You are consumed by the firey passion of your love..” set-up attempt.  Not the looks I was going for – but it’s still pretty darn sweet.

And some epic imagery…

We’ll see you kids in February!  We had a blast shooting ya’ll!

We had the pleasure of photographing Kelly and Jarrod’s wedding out at the elegant Alcyone Plantation a couple of weeks ago.  The day went off without a hitch, and Kelly and Jarrod were surrounded with friends and family!  Let’s take a peak at some images from their day!

We loved all of Kelly’s flowers…

The Cabbage Patch?  I feel it best not to speculate too much during the getting ready portion of the day…

Kelly looked amazing in her wedding dress!

Kelly was working it…

The Man.  The Legend.  The J-Rod.

Kelly and her lovely ladies…

Getting into position just before the ceremony in the late afternoon sun…

Jarrod smiling as Kelly is escorted down the aisle…

Kelly’s Mom and Dad prepare to give her away…

Love this shot of Kelly trying to keep it together.

After the wedding we got some formals in the dark. Good thing Kelly’s Dad rented the sun.

Kelly and Jarrod finishing up their first dance…

Kelly bustin’ out some moves with her Dad Doug.

A bit of smoochin’…

Closing out the night…

We hope you two had a great time on your honeymoon!  Your full gallery goes live this week!
