North Carolina Wedding – Sneak Peek

Andy — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 06:10:13 +0000

Wow. Amazing how just a few Christmas lights strung up in the ceiling of a church can change a normal hallway into something amazing. You two rocked the camera so well. Here’s a few images that just jumped out of my monitor and onto the blog!

After the Ceremony, Caitie & Chris stopped for a moment to smooch

Now check out their amazing bridal canvas below!

Crunched for time, I had this canvas drop-shipped to the client’s home in North Carolina. I was just as excited to see it for the first time as they were. All that hard work of scouting, putting on camo waders and helping the gorgeous Caitie out onto the rock was totally worth it. Thank you everyone who was involved with this shoot. I couldn’t of done it without you.

Canvas prints can be wrapped, or painted any color for the edge. We went with black for this one.

Breathtaking - 16x24" canvas on display at the reception

I have to give a big shout-out to Canvas on Demand for their excellent service and quick turnaround time.

Berry Wedding – #1 pic

This past weekend I traversed up to Rome, Georgia for an awesome wedding with Joy & Matthew. I’ll blog more about them later, but I wanted to show you a photo I took on Saturday. We snuck away from their reception for a bit and got a lot of cool photos over at the old entrance. I’m so glad we were able to shoot their wedding. They were a blast.

I also want to give a shout out to Haley Lamb for the deal on the 20mm lens she was selling. I can’t wait to use it on my trip to Alaska. It’s too bad I don’t live closer to Rome. I really miss the beauty of that campus. Did you know that it’s also the largest in the world?

I just want to thank everyone for such an awesome wedding! Proofs will be online within the next two weeks, but I wanted to show you a sneak peek to one photo. This is the combination code for the lock that went around Charlie’s neck! How funny! A few pictures and video (waiting on vimeo… ) are below.

This stayed on the entire night as he didn’t know the code.

{first picks} teresa & lloyd

I’m really just going to let the pictures speak for theirself. This wedding marks the end of a crazy 7 week streak of almost every weekend having something or another going on.
We were in Savannah, GA this past weekend at the Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa. It was a ballin hotel. It was a ballin reception, and Teresa & Lloyd and their families were a blast to work with.

Teresa had an awesome dress. It was simple and beautiful.Â

We noticed Lloyd checking for his ring.Â

Despite his best efforts to get Teresa to wear the cake, she never did. I was rooting for ya!

Teresa’s mother had a beautiful dress on. Check them out on the dance floor!

Thank you everyone for making 2008 great. We have just a few more bookings this fall to fulfill and 2009 is already beginning to fill up.

Teresa was awesome this evening w/her bridal shoot. I just wanted to share just a few that struck my eye from our session. Stay tuned b/c we’re headed to Savannah, GA next weekend for their wedding!

first pick: Christie & Mike

After noticing the awesome foyer @ First Baptist ChurchÂ I immediately began to envision this photograph. Christie had a few moments of downtime while we waited on a pair of shoes to arrive. Hehe Ok, this is my first pick from today’s wedding.Â

first picks – Robin & Yun

Andy — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 02:21:07 +0000

Here are a few of my favorite shots from Saturday’s wedding with Robin & Yun. The weather tried to scare everyone off, but it let up just long enough for them to have a gorgeous outdoor wedding.

Check out that backyard! If you’re local and want info on the place, send us a note. Yun was also very proud of his bride’s ring!

Their ceremony was very sweet, especially in reciting their lines. Robin even jumped the gun on some of her lines.

To top off the cake, pun totally intended, their reception included a disco ball which was a perfect addition to send off their last dance. At first it didn’t turn on, but thankfully they got the ball spinning.

Thank you guys for being so awesome! I think I speak for Sarah as well that we felt very welcome to be a part of their special day.
