Mindi & Andy's Multiplicity Shot...

The Veil Shot..

Listen..I KNOW! You don't need to tell me. I know, I know I know...it's soooo 1985 but I can't help doing it! I really love tulle and especially the really long veils..yeah...I know. Erica and Daniel were just so sweet in this shot. Some girls love chocolate or stilettos...I love tulle. (Well, a really hot pair of stiletto's might trump the tulle.)

Blessed...

One of Erica's bridesmaids had this tattoo on her arm..what a great tattoo to have.

Great Eyelashes!!

Great angle of Mindi's lush lashes!

Lovely Lurkers....

Oh c'mon!! Leave me a comment! Pretty please! Ruthie..I know you check the blog all the time - you can leave me a love note!

Who's got the biggest one?

Son and the other photog's at Mindi & Andy's wedding...

The Amazing, Annoying Race...

So in the middle of me taking Mindi's formal pictures at Drees Pavilion about five yahoo's coming running up and want to know if she is a REAL bride????? And they asked her if she 'had a clue for them.' It was kind of crazy but I think we were told they were from the Amazing Race and they were looking for a clue..which came by way of helicopter a few minutes later. I don't get to watch much TV so I really had no idea what they were talking about...but they did pose for a picture.

Mindi & Andy's Photo Booth

These Photo Booths get more fun each time I do them...We had bartenders and even the Park Ranger from Drees Pavilion jump into the Photo Booth. (Thanks Janine for letting us 'borrow' them!) The bride and groom were fantastic! People always ask how many can you fit in the Photo Booth...well, that's really up to them - how close do you want to get to your neighbor? Sometimes people get cut-out of shots and that's half the fun of the Photo Booth. If they were all in the picture, nice and pretty, it would be called a 'formal' photo. I get so many comments from Guests on what fun the Photo Booth is -and many repeaters too! CLICK HERE for a sample of a few of the photo-strips from Mindi & Andy's Photo Booth:

Marathons..

I have a love/hate relationship with marathons...I LOVE to finish them - there is nothing like the feeling of coming down the last half-mile and seeing the clock ticking away...not really knowing how I'm going to feel when I finally stop - when I cross the finish line - what my body might do at that point. I love it.

I HATE training for them! Ugh! It takes so much time..BUT..I found this website (USA Fit Gwinnett ) and you can train with other local runners - I had a buddy (Bonnie) I trained with last time - that helps to have a buddy! If anyone is interested in running - this is a great site to check out!

Photo Junkies...

in the photobooth - a rare shot of the photographers..

Kristin...

Another one of my fav's from Kristin and Greg's wedding. She was very comfortable in front of the camera and just had a confidence about her that was so much fun to manipulate and work with.

Multiplicity...

Just a little play with a series of images I took at Kristin & Greg's wedding:

Shadows...

Love the deepness of this shot..the way the blackness hugs the flowers and Christa's face...the shadows are perfect.

Cake shot...

I love this angle..I'm just always worried someone holding an overfilled manhattan will bump into me and my camera will do a face-plant into someone's wedding cake...I just make sure to take the shot quickly! And for those of you (like my husband) who need things 'centered'..I wanted the small bouquet in the upper left-hand corner in the shot and centered is soooo last year anyway!

Jen & Bernardo...

They both have such striking features - such a great couple to photograph! Bernardo has these ICE blue eyes to die for..and Jennifer has this natural-curly hair that is just beautiful. We had their engagement session last weekend with their wedding coming up in October. I tried some new material out on them and they were great to work with! Here's a few of my fav's:

How I LOVE the beach...

not so much the sand...I think it's mostly the sound of the ocean..that's my favorite part!
a few more from the same series...someday - I'll have that quiet little beach house I've been dreaming about...

Last year's vacation...

found this picture while STILL trying to get organized since the move...
