We’ve been married for 5 years!!!

Time sure does fly when you are having fun. And that is how I would sum up the last five years…FUN! Yes, we’ve had hard times, but God has blessed us with many more good times! To celebrate our 5th anniversary we took a cruise to The Bahamas. If you have never been on a cruise, I completely recommend it. It was so relaxing and so much fun. Honestly, I came home spoiled and ready to hop on the next cruise ship available. However, I’m back in the “real” world and ready to have fun doing this summer’s weddings and many family sessions. But first I wanted to share some fun pictures from our trip.

We went to the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island where we had the amazing opportunity to swim with the dolphins. I caught the dolphin as she was jumping up to entertain us! I say it’s my post card picture!

Jon & Margaret-Ann…After Session

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

Jon and Margaret-Ann had a very eventful wedding day. They got married about a year ago in Atlanta, on the day of all the tornados. As you can imagine, the weather was NOT picture perfect. The two of them told me story after story about different things that happened to them on their wedding day. Pictures on the other hand did not happen. At least not as many as they would have liked. Margaret-Ann found out about us through a co-worker, and decided that they would like to recapture what they missed on their wedding day by doing an “After Session.” We started off at Toccoa Falls where Margaret-Ann went to college and ventured to several different locations in the area. Congratulations on making it 1 year. May God bless you both with many more!

Brad + Courtney After Session/Trash the Dress!

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Many have asked me what does a “Trash the Dress” session mean. Well I am going to give you the definition that I found on Google. “Trash the dress refers to photography that contrasts elegant clothing with an environment in which it is out of place.” So pretty much NOT your traditional bridal portraits! Before Courtney and Brad’s wedding back in September, I asked Courtney if she wanted to do a Bridal session before the wedding. She said no, but she would rather do some “Trash the Dress” (TTD) pictures after the wedding. Yay!!! I was so excited and couldn’t wait to do this session with the two of them. We visited several areas in the Stephens county area including Panther Creek, Toccoa Airport, Henderson Falls park, and Toccoa Falls. We had an absolute blast during this session. Thank you Brad and Courtney for such a fun session!

Courtney was a bride that I have been dreaming about! One that would be willing to get into water with her wedding dress on! If it were summer I am sure we would have done a lot more and probably gotten even more wet. However, it was the beginning of November and the water was FREEZING!!! Way to go Courtney!!
