Beth and Josh | Wedding in Forsyth Park, Savannah Ga.

Category:WEDDING Tags: Forsyth Park Wedding, Savannah Wedding Photographer, Savannah Wedding Photography, South Georgia Wedding Photographer, Valdosta Weddings

What up Blog Peeps?

You might remember Beth and Josh from their engagement session posted on the blog in January. You know – back when it was cold. Ah, those golden days when it was cold! It was not cold last Saturday when they got married in Savannah at the lovely Forsyth Park. It was beautiful though – the weather cooperated by not raining (there was a huge chance it would), tons of family/friends/people showed up, and four photographers got angry with us because our bride had the audacity to actually reserve access to the Fountain (she’s a smart girl). Let’s take a peak at some teasers from their wedding day!

Beth was cracking up all day long with her girls!

Individual Pocket Cooling Fans for the girls - good idea – wish Lisa and I would have brought one! Perhaps mounted on a bracket system? Hmmmm…..

This is Beth. She’s going to be rockin’ the scene the rest of the wedding day…

Told ya…

Beth and her ladies!

Logan did another outstanding job as a ring bearer (his first gig was back in 2009 when he was 9 months old). He made a few brief stops to say “Hi” to his peeps…

Mr. Utter and Beth start the four mile walk down the “aisle”. It was probably only two miles – the lense I was using compresses the background just a tad…

After sprinting the last quarter mile – they arrive – still looking fresh and relaxed.

Some bling-bling action!

Followed by the Kiss… I love this sequence shot by Lisa.

My perspective from the back of the park…

Heading off to the Reception via one of Savannah’s many trolleys!

Can you spot me (Tony) in that mass of people? Told you it was a big turn out!

Have a great time on your honeymoon guys! Stay cool!

Annie and Mike | Wedding on Jekyll Island at Faith Chapel

Category:Uncategorized, WEDDING Tags: Driftwood Beach, Faith Chapel Jekyll Island Club, Jekyll Island Photographer, Jekyll Island Wedding Photography, Jekyll Island Weddings, St.Simons Lighthouse Wedding

Hi All,

Meet Annie and Mike! They tied the knot last Saturday at the very lovely and historic Faith Chapel on Jekyll Island. Located on the grounds of the Jekyll Island Club, the chapel features some amazing stained glass. This was a destination wedding for Mike and Annie (they’re from Wisconsin and Illinois) , with guests arriving from all over the U.S. With Terrica of Cocktailsdetails running the event - things ran smoothly, and everyone had a great time!

Here are some shots from Annie and Mike’s wedding day. We also have some images from their Day After Session at Driftwood Beach. Special props to Annie’s mom for not yelling at us as soon as Annie got into the Atlantic while wearing her wedding dress.

The pictures are amazingly beautiful! We couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Especially glad we did the 7 AM shoot, even though it doesn’t look like it in the one picture. Ha ha. Thanks again, you guys did such a great job of capturing the beauty and excitement we felt all day. They are perfect.

Tony & Lisa – I love the shots at Driftwood Beach. I have to take them over to where we bought the dress. They want to see them. I still feel sorry for the beautiful wedding dress, but great pictures.

Christie and Matt | Wedding at Pebble Hill Plantation

Category:WEDDING Tags: Pebble Hill Plantation Wedding, Thomasville Wedding Photography, Valdosta Wedding Photography, Valdosta Weddings

‘Sup Blog Stalkers and Peeps!

Christie and Matt got married at the fabulous Pebble Hill Plantation in Thomasville, Georgia. Temps soared to 105 degrees during the day – but Matt and Christie stayed cool. Even surface-of-the-sun heat couldn’t stop this wedding! The party started at noon – and lasted late into the night. This wedding was also a kind of a reunion for us, as we had photographed Christie’s twin sister’s wedding back in November of 2009. It was great seeing everyone in the Heard family again ~ along with some new additions to their family!

Let’s take a peak at some images from Matt and Christie’s day!
