While one of our owners celebrates her fifth wedding anniversary the other celebrates her first anniversary! A year ago we all gathered in Connecticut to celebrate love and laughter! With the wonderful support of one photographer to another, we had great fun dancing, singing, and cake smashing. What a wonderful wedding! Here’s to many more years of love for the newly weds!
We had the opportunity to photograph a wedding at the end of the year for one of our friends from church. We always see it as an honor when a friend wants us to be a part of their special day. It was a small ceremony where the attendants were the bride’s sister, and the groom’s sons. The love we witnessed that day was evident everywhere we looked. At least we live here in the south so when we went outside to take pictures, it wasn’t too cold. The bride even had a lovely fur shawl to keep her warm.
When one of our photographers got married last year, we were asked if we had time to shoot another wedding in the area two days before. So it was a huge week of weddings. Not only did we find out about this wedding last minute, the bride and groom put the whole thing together in a month! When the bride is from another country, and the visa gets accepted, you only have a short amount of time to pull everything together. So even though the bride had only one person come from China, the entire night was full of love and fun. The bride even changed into a traditional Chinese dress for the reception. And I have to admit, in all the weddings I’ve attended and photographed, this was the first one where I started tearing up during the speeches.
It’s Memorial Day! To many Americans this means an extra long weekend full of bar-b-que, friends and fun. Most of us neglect the real reason for this holiday – remembering and honoring those who have served our country. So to do our part to honor our veterans, and those currently serving, here is a collection of pictures from the past with a patriotic flair. We always love photographing weddings and portraits, but we also enjoy finding the beauty in the every day. The last photo in this post is actually a black and white photo we’ve colorized ourselves. We’re excited to debut this new technique we’ve learned on such a special weekend.
A big thank you to all those serving and God Bless America!
One of the great things about living in Marietta is being so close to the Marietta Square! We’ve done a few family shoots there, but this was our first wedding! Even though it was toasty outside, we had a lovely day photographing this wonderful wedding at the Marlow House. From the small, private ceremony to the exciting sparkler send-off, it was a fantastic first Marietta Square wedding. We can’t wait for more!
We photographed some head shots for this little baby girl for the beginning of her career. She has so many faces for the camera! We also captured a few casual shots to update mom’s scrapbook. She’s a quick little doll as we followed her around the park!
About a year ago I was able to photograph a friend’s newborn son! The happy parents waited to find out if they were having a boy or a girl and were delighted when Peyton arrived. This cutie has now turned 1, but here he is at one week old.
You can’t find a more all-American couple than a firefighter and a teacher! I was so pleased to be able to photograph my twin brother and his fiancée. We wandered around downtown in our hometown in Texas and found some great spots. I loved being able to see how happy my brother is with his sweetheart.
Nothing like getting the chance to be in front of the camera for a change! This Valentine’s Day one of our own got engaged and so begins her journey to her wedding day! This past weekend we had a little engagement session at Marietta Square. The wind didn’t even scare us away but instead added to the smiles and the laughter!
Defy loves the chance to travel to a wedding. This was our first trip to California! The bride and groom love nature and tried to bring the outdoors into their reception as well. Perhaps the sweetest part of their story is that the groom was the bride’s first boyfriend! So her first kiss was also her last first kiss!
