Julie and P.J……sonnet house in leeds alabama

Round three of the unfortunately/fortunate events of August……the wonderful oil company B.P. and their silly oil spill cost me my trip to the beach this year..but worst the Beach Wedding dreams of a very cool bride and groom. Seeing as things were looking a little funky in the region this bride and groom were fortunate to find one of the best venues in the Birmingham area open and ready to provide wedding services for them. The Sonnett House in Leeds is always a great well run venue and they did a great job once again to transfer beach dreams into Countryside dreams.:)I just loved all the little details of this wedding…I could have posted a zillion detail shots. The weather tried to mess with us a bit but fortunately we were able to see rain from inside when we didn’t really care if it was dripping…the rest of the day was a sunny/hot/beautiful day….and without further adieu, I present (Jp/Pj and Julie…wink wink..and hey man…I bet you reallllllly love me NOW!)

Unfortunately/fortunate…..

I think about these words and can not come up with anyway to kick off a lengthy blog catch up session without thinking how unfortunately-fortunate I have been these last few months. I mean unfortunately I had to have surgery but fortunately I have wonderful parents/clients and family to help me get through it..and fortunately I woke up in complete relief!:)
Unfortunately I lost probably the best dog I could ever ask for because unfortunately I didn’t do something as simple as put batteries in a collar to keep his young wondering behind in my own yard. But fortunately the breeder where we got Cooper happened to have a few step brothers of his needing a home….I miss my Pucky, but this lil furball laying his head on my lap as I type this has me feeling very fortunate.
Lastly, in the 20 weddings I’ve done so far this year my no rain streak has come to unfortunate end…..I really hate a rainy day when I am planning on beautiful garden and picturesque images of a bride and groom in a beautiful country setting, but whats worse is when it rains the entire day and threatens every aspect of the ceremony and reception…so you HAVE to feel fortunate when the skies part and sun rays come out 15 minutes before the ceremony!! Am I bummed that my whole photography plan was scraped, but again I am fortunate…I got several great shots in the end and the bride being the cool chick she is…is going to let me play with her in a dress that most likely is unfortunately ruined due to the wet conditions….again we will make it a fortunate situation! Looking forward to our upcoming play date! Without further rambling here are a few sneaks from this August wet wedding that fortunately I had the pleasure of capturing!!

Something i love about my job…

Who truly enjoys having a camera pointed at them with a person behind the camera saying..”Ok now act normal”…..not many. I love when people say things before we begin a session like..I don’t take good pictures, my smile always looks weird or my personal favorite..”I feel goofy” That only propels me to make the experience of being the one photographer in the world they actually enjoy hanging out with! I REALLY love when I get sweet emails before the person/couple has even seen the pictures…not even a peek…emails like this.. “We were both pretty nervous to be in front of the camera, but you made it fun and relaxing! I quite literally light up at these and Thank God for putting me in the position to not only make people love having pictures created but having the talent to do them.
So with that said I share these from a recent session…..hope they luv em like I do!:)

A beautiful June wedding…

So how lucky are you to have an outdoor reception and have cool weather in late JUNE! April and Buck are living right because besides having a perfect day they had perfect outdoor weather at the reception…we kept saying “Can you believe how lucky we are??!” I am pretty sure I am the lucky one cause this bride and groom were ready for anything! They indulged my field dreams mosquitoes and coyotes and all!:)
As always Matthews Manor out did themselves once again and had awesome food and service!!
