CloseThis is Courtney Delay from Bloomfield High School (down by Dexter – or if you’re from there . . . “Dayckterrr” . . . I think that’s how them southern folk say it).
Anyway, we had a great session with Courtney today. Here are a few favorites from her session.
These are the Lawfield Sisters. They came in for a session Wednesday afternoon. What a beautiful bunch of lovely young ladies (and twins . . . you two crack me up!)
Here’s an image that will be hanging in the Lawfield home as a 40×30 canvas!
Maggie Thorn came in to the studio today. In addition to being as beautiful as a greek goddess (see the B&W photo below), she’s also an amazing musician. I mean it. Keep an eye (and an ear) out for this girl. She’s going places. Click here to check out Maggie’s music page on facebook.
Maggie brought in all of her dad’s old vinyl albums to the session so we came up with a few “vintagy” shots that should make her papa proud (and ought to make the rest of us, who actually know what a record player is, feel really old).
On a separate note, don’t forget that the 50% off senior sale goes through until Sunday night. Call or e-mail to book your senior session at 1/2 off the normal sitting fee prices.
This year has been crazy busy with weddings. We’ve done 25 weddings total this year (6 in October alone – yowzer!) Anyway, we just haven’t had time to do sneak peeks for everyone so I apologize if you’re wedding didn’t make the blog. I’m gonna try and do better. So here’s a quick sneak peek from Marti and Wade’s wedding out at Water’s Edge in Gordonville. Marti (and her family) were a real hoot! We had a blast on a beautiful day with a totally fun and laid back couple.
Thanks Marti and Wade for asking us to be a part of your day.
Well . . . not exactly. But does anybody else think that Kaley Horst from Jackson High School bears a striking resemblance to Taylor Swift?
Here are a few from Taylor’s . . . . uhm . . . I mean Kaley’s senior session.
Maddy and Brock got married on July 31, and Rachel and I were there to share in the joy (not to mention the heat and humidity). Seriously, I think this was one of the hottest, most humid weddings we’ve EVER photographed, but boy did we have a good time (did I mention that it was HOT!!). The wedding was so unique. All of the guys had muscle cars that they brought to the wedding and then each couple drove off in one after the wedding. We even blocked off the street for 30 minutes or so to do some shots with all the muscle cars.
Here’s a little sneak peek from Maddy and Brock’s wedding day.
Scarlett Patterson is a senior at Notre Dame High School. We shot her senior session yesterday and since she’s a dancer, I had envisioned this shot of her that looked like she was dancing on air. Here’s what we came up with.
We shot Bailey’s senior session this morning and despite the heat, we really had an awesome session. Lots of locations, lots of outfits, lots of killer shots. I must say, Bailey is a great sport (as is her mother). We even did a little trash the prom dress. Shelly, thanks so much for walking barefoot in the creek and holding my lights and stuff. You’re awesome. Bailey, you rock too!
Here are 2 of my favorites from the session this morning (P.S. Bailey’s grandfather built that cross – pretty awesome, huh?)
Mallory Wilson and Ryan Gibson got married on May 29 and let me say I just loved everything about this wedding. From the Victorian style to the 57 Chevy to the super fun wedding party (especially the guys – Ryan your groomsmen were a hoot!)
Anyway, sorry it’s taken me so long to get this sneak peek online (it’s been a little busy around here). In fact, we brought our daughter home from the hospital on Friday and then shot Mallory and Ryan’s wedding on the following day (so to say that it was an eventful week would be a massive understatement!). My wife, Rachel usually comes with me on weddings, but since she had a baby 3 days prior, I let her off the hook on this one 
so instead, my mother-in-law, Charlyn came along to help me out and even 2nd shoot a bit (Thanks Char!)
I shot Holly Balsman and Nathan Moran’s wedding on May 22nd. They got married at Hermann Hill winery in Hermann, MO and it was a beautiful venue. I must say, we were all a little nervous because this wedding was on May 22 and Rachel’s due date was May 19th (and she hadn’t had the baby yet by wedding day) . . . so I was nervous and Holly was nervous and Nathan was nervous and my wife was nervous. I told Rachel when I left the house that she had to sit with her legs crossed all day and that Zoe was forbidden from entering the world on this date. Luckily for all, she waited a few more days and I got to be a part of Holly and Nathan’s beautiful day. I felt so honored.
For those of you wondering, I did have backup. Kris Gay with Bella Vita Studios in Fort Wayne, IN came up to help me shoot and she was going to be my backup in case I had to leave. Luckily, I didn’t and we got to shoot the whole wedding together. (Thanks Kris)
Finally, before I post the sneak peek images, I have to give a shout out to the videographer. He was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! His name is Michael Gebben with Gebbs Wedding Films and not only is he amazingly talented, he is a super nice guy and was a pleasure to work with all day long. If you have a chance to check out Holly and Nathan’s 5 minute video, you should do it. You will be BLOWN AWAY! Not only is the video incredible, Michael produced it on the DAY OF THE WEDDING and showed it at their reception. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house. You can check out their video here (it’s less than 5 minutes and totally worth your time) – http://vimeo.com/12011064
