Trash the Dress Session, Jekyll Island Wedding Photographers

Ok, so I know they are in fact called "Trash the Dress Sessions" but really ours should be called "Not Being Quite So Careful With The Dress Sessions".  Well any way that is what we typically do. However when Rebecca gave us a call she knew exactly what she wanted and that was pictures of her and her husband in the water. Her husband Ryan was getting ready to be deployed and they wanted to put their wedding outfits back on and have a session on Jekyll Island's stunning Driftwood Beach. Paul and I jumped at the chance! What an amazing fun and creative photo shoot that was going to be. So we set up a date and got rained out and set up another date and it was freezing but we were running out of time before Ryan left so they wanted to go ahead anyway. I was so worried that Rebecca was going to get hypothermia, she must have been ice cold laying in that water with the wind blowing a gale as well.  Besides the cold it was AMAZING!!!! We loved every minute with them and had so much fun creating these dramatic images with such a lovely couple. Ryan, we salute you and your entire family for the service that you give our country so selflessly. Thank you both Ryan and Rebecca!!!!!!

Featured on Elizabeth Anne Designs Wedding Blog.

Within days of release our styled Southern Elegance inspiration shoot was picked up by Elizabeth Anne Designs Wedding Blog for a feature. We styled the shoot to highlight the elegant charm of South Georgia. It is a perfect and romantic backdrop for a dream wedding. The shoot was a mix of The Reynolds Mansion on Sapelo and downtown Brunswick. 

All of the vondors involved have a link at the bottom of the feature if you want to contact them. They are all seriously talented!!!!

A huge thanks to our models Janele and Merlan who were a joy to work with (Neither is a professional model, bet you couldn't tell could you? They were fabulous.)

Inspired Shoots, The Golden Isles of Georgia Wedding Photographers

Sometimes it is just really nice to have time to play. With our crazy schedule we often don't get a lot of time to take pictures just for fun. That is one of the reasons that I was super excited to be able to shoot 3 inspirations shoots for the Golden Isles Magazines Bridal Issue. There is an absolute wealth of amazing vendors in the Wedding Industry in this area and we loved working with many of them on these styled shoots.  Since the shoots have been released they are getting quickly snapped up by some of the industry leading wedding blogs for features. I will post the links as they are published. Since I just can't wait to at least give you a taste of what is coming here is one of my favorite pictures from the Nautical Inspirations Shoot.

We are doing some updates to the blog so it may look a bit strange for a few days while we move everything around. Sorry for the mess!!!

Please Excuse the Interruption......

I am so behind on my blogging. We have been out of the country over the holidays and it has taken a back seat while we made sure everything else was taken care of first. I have so much to share that I don't even know where to begin. Actually there is a shoot that I am excited above all others so let me give you a sneak peak at that to start. 

We were incredibly lucky to be traveling through Paris and have the opportunity to shoot a mock Bridal Session at night under the Arc de Triumph. Talk about a gorgeous, romantic and iconic location. One of our focuses this coming year is to start doing more destination weddings. We were beyond thrilled to be listed by Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine in their on-line Platinum Vendors for 2011 and 2012 for the UK. If you are not familiar with Grace Ormonde it's kinda like Vogue but for weddings. You can see why we were excited. 

So without further adieu here is the Arc de Triumph Bridal sneak peak:

St. Simons Island Villa De Suenos Wedding, St. Simons Island Wedding Photographers

What a beautiful wedding. The December weather was threatening rain or sprinkling on us most of the day but it did not dimnish at all this gorgeous event. From start to finish Laura and Jonathan were a joy to work with and as you will see in the pictures are a crazy photogenic couple. 

Many times couples have the debate about wether to see each other before the ceremony or not. I know it is a long standing tradition but I have got to say this wedding is a perfect example of why the tradition is starting to fade. We still have couples who want to hold to traditon and wait until she walks down the aisle and that is totally fine with us....we are happy either way. However check out what an amazing variety of images we got with Laura and Jonathan by having a private photoshoot with them before the ceremony and by having extra time after the ceremony since the family pictures were pretty much done. I just love them!!!! 

The Ceremony was at the St Simons Island United Methodist Church and the Reception was in the elegant Villa De Suenos. Enjoy this peak into their wedding day. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sea Island Cloister Wedding, Sea Island GA Wedding Photographers

What a wedding!!!! This specatular Sea Island event topped anything I have ever seen before. From start to finish every single detail was so well thought out and executed...just flawless!!! I could go on and on about how amazing it was but I will just let the pictures speak for themselves. The Ceremony was held on the lawn of the Cloister Gardens with the glamourous reception following in the Cloister Clubroom. Keep an eye out for another post to follow soon with pictures from the Rehersal Dinner in the Cloister Wine Cellar, it was stunning. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

St. Simons Island Lighthouse and Heritage Center Wedding, St Simons Island Wedding Photographers

Paul and I were delighted to join the very sweet Aron and Lucy for their gorgeous wedding and reception at the St Simons Island Lighthouse and Heritage Center. Lucy looked absolutely stunning, her dress was so different and unique. You have got to check out the gorgeous jewelry pieces that she wore from her family's business Redfern Jewelers on St Simons Island. Some of my favorite details were the lanterns suspended over the outside patio area and the ice cream bar that was made out of sculpted ice....how cool is that? Even mother nature was smiling on this event. There had been a huge cloud hanging over the island all day and just as Lucy started to get ready to put her dress on the clouds literally rolled back and a clear sunny sky was exposed. It was extremely dramatic. So a huge congratulations to Aron and Lucy for a stunning event!!!! It was so much fun and we are so excited for your new life together.

Jekyll Island Wedding Photographers, The Beachview Club Jekyll Island GA

Paul and I just loved Jennay, Jacob and their entire wedding party. Talk about a fun group of people! We laughed the entire day with them and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It's hard to consider what we do work when we get to hang out with such fun people. The weather was glorious and the location of the Beachview Club on Jekyll Island was beautiful as always. Can't wait to share more from this fun and fabulous event.
