Shelby Beddingfield is competing for Miss Teen Alabama, and she just won Most Photogenic for her category and overall! I am so delighted for her! This is the image we made that won the competitions…isn’t she simply beautiful?! We had a great time in the studio, working together to get just the right look. I’m pleased that our efforts paid off. She’s off to another competition in Orlando! Good luck, Shelby!

Joey and Liz along with Liz’s parents just left the studio with a copy of the wedding highlights DVD and over 600 proofs! Joey and Liz were married in a beautiful ceremony at Prince of Peace with the reception at Hoover Country Club. The cakes were two of the most beautiful and delicious I’ve seen (and eaten!) by Jan O’Donnell. The flowers were gorgeous by Joann Bunn and Carolyn Pate. Joe with Feel the Beat Entertainment did a great job mixing exotic traditional music with contemporary dance music. The wedding coverage was a bit different in that there were a lot of people from out of town who wanted to celebrate with Joey on the wedding day. Buddy went to the Danforah home to photograph their traditional dances between the formals and the actual wedding. I stayed with the bride and her wedding party at the church where we were able to get some very cool images. The entire day and night were much fun with lots of dancing and laughter. Many guests were not only from out of town–they were from out the country! Enjoy some of my favorite images (I’m having trouble with the slideshow upload…I’ll post that later). Feel free to comment!

What an incredible wedding! The weather was perfect…the venues are beautiful…the bride and groom are so much fun…I love my work! Trey and Kristen came by today to watch their wedding slideshow and pick up their proofs. Here are a few of my favorite images and their slideshow, too. Let me know what you think. We had a blast working with Trisha at The Tutweiler, Noona at First United Methodist Church, Carol with Lillie’s Flowers, and Jennifer at The Summit Club! The band was very good–I think their name is “The Next”…anyway, hope you enjoy these images and their wedding highlights slideshow! Also, Kristen and I had such a good time at her bridal session, I’ve included a couple of those images, too.

Classic...you should see this on canvas!

Sam and Hannah were married yesterday in a most beautiful ceremony in the gorgeous First Baptist Church of Birmingham. The church was absolutely packed! Their attendants are all so sweet and so much fun. We had a terrific time with them making some fun images from yesterday morning where the girls were getting ready at Generations in Gardendale (including a limo ride to the church!) to the last wave good-bye from Riverchase Country Club. I’ll have a complete list of vendors, but I do know that Magnificent Cakes were incredible! I had a slice of the strawberry, and Buddy enjoyed a piece of one of the groom’s cakes (there were 3!). Gary Rush with Rush Video was a joy to work with. Anyway, I’ll have a complete list of everyone who worked together to make Hannah and Sam’s wedding dream come true.
Here’s a sneak peek!
