Jason and Jessica Married in Montevallo

On: Wednesday, July 30, 2008




Jason and Jessica were married at American Village in Montevallo on June 22. What a terrific location! This was our first wedding in this venue, and we really enjoyed it. It was a hot day, but the wedding party was up for playing outside. These are a few of my favorite images. You can see their wedding highlights here.
Thanks, Jason and Jessica for being so much fun! You might recognize this couple from the first page of my website. We photographed their engagement session in Jessica's home town of Helena, also home to my studio.

OMG, what a wonderful wedding and reception! Kim and John are such a fun couple, and their friends and families made this special occasion even more special. We had a great time with them and are happy to share their "highlights" slideshow here.

Let us know what you think!

Thanks!

An update: Just received this from Kim--The slideshow was great!! I just finished looking at the last of ALL of the proofs. You and Buddy did a great job. There are so many good ones we can't wait to see the book.

Thanks Gretchen!

Recently I entered this photograph in a local competition--the subject was "Water's Edge." This image, made in Helena on Buck Creek, won Honorable Mention. Yeah!

Paula and Steven Tie the Knot!

On: Sunday, July 6, 2008






Paula and Steven live in Helena and were married at the Helena Baptist Church on 060708. It was so hot that day that we did most of our photos inside the church and the annex which has two beautifully decorated "living rooms" on the second floor. We wanted to do some casual photos in front of the waterfall in Helena. We knew the light would be fantastic around 7:00 so we asked the bridal party of hang around (I think many went to Incahoots for refreshments :)) about an hour after the reception ended. We had a great time with Paula and Steven including being invited to their house where we photographed Steven carrying Paula over the threshold! Congraulations to the both of you. You are terrific!

First Wedding of the Season






This couple spent a great deal of time at a beautful park so we did their engagement photos there a couple of months before their wedding on May 10. Here are a few of my favorite images from both sessions! Congratulations Rebekah and Matthew!!

Recycling

My photographs are printed by an out-of-state professional lab. The images are delivered to my studio in boxes that I had been stacking up--they were in too good a shape to throw away! I called a friend of mine who owns a shipping store, PakMail in Hoover, and he has picked them up to reuse at his facility. If a customer doesn't want to buy a new box, Jeremy will provide him with a used one from my studio. Sure makes sense to me! BTW, if you're moving and need boxes, I get more every day! :)

Thanks!
