missy & will ::: wedding

Having trouble viewing the images above? Click HERE for an alternative html gallery.

I'm almost done playing catch up on the weddings I've photographed the last few months.

These images are from Missy and Will's wedding at Monmouth Plantation in Natchez. Interestingly, the last two weddings I've photographed have been at Monmouth. I'll be posting the second very soon.

I had a great time with Missy and Will, and have to say, their's was one of the most laid back weddings I've ever photographed. The wedding was held at the end of July, so it was a bit warm, but that didn't stop anyone from having a blast. The power went out about an hour or so into the reception, but that, too, failed to stop the party or dampen spirits. They just pulled out an ipod and a jam box (can't believe I just typed that!) and kept the music going. And 90 minutes later when the power returned, so did the band. I was really impressed with how everyone didn't seem to miss a beat and just enjoyed the evening for what it was -- a wonderful gathering of friends and family.

As an added bonus, a few of the guests were friends of mine that I'd not seen in nearly fifteen years. Seeing old friends when you're not expecting to do so is always a nice reminder of how small the world really is. And reliving wonderful memories -- well, that never gets old.

Thank you Missy and Will for allowing me to document your day.

Well, it took me a few days to get back to Caroline and Joe's wedding thread, but I made it!

Here are a few images from their wedding. They were married in New Orleans back in July. The ceremony was held at the beautiful Trinity Episcopal Church with a wonderful reception right off of Jackson Square at Muriel's.

Thank you Caroline and Joe for allowing me to document your day.

More from Caroline and Joe's wedding:

After spending the afternoon with Caroline creating her bridal images, we headed downtown to meet Joe. We walked around for just a bit, starting at the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge. Apparently that is the spot to go in Nashville, as there were several other photographers working there at the same time!

Here are a few of the images from the session. Hope you enjoy them. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Continuing on with my "catch-up" from a busy spring and summer, I've got quite a few images from Caroline and Joe's wedding in July I'd like to share with all of you. I'm going to break them down into a few posts though, as it would probably be too many images to share all at once.

First, here are a few images from Caroline's bridal session. I went to Nashville in June (that's where she and Joe live) to work with her in creating these. We spent most of the afternoon at Cheekwood-Botanical Garden creating bridal portraits, then met Joe a bit later downtown for a quick session with the two of them.

The engagement session will be next, followed by images from the wedding in New Orleans. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Wow, how quickly the summer passes. It seems like just yesterday we were in the midst of spring weather. Baseball was just beginning and the weather was warming up. now, it's football season. Baseball is nearing its post season, and (hopefully) things are cooling off a bit. Yet, I still have work to blog that was created last spring!

With that in mind, I'd like to share a few images from Mary Katherine and Peter's wedding.

I first met Mary Katherine's dad a few years ago when he asked me to create some image for his law firm walls. What a beautiful town Laurel is. I had such a great time exploring it while working on that project, and I was very excited when they asked me to come back to photograph the wedding this past May.

The ceremony was held at the First Baptist Church and the reception was at the Laurel Train Depot. Flowers by Catherine Strange and John David Williams of Fearless Entertaining.

Mary Katherine and Peter, thank you for allowing me to document your wedding. I had a blast.

ivey & dean ::: wedding

Ivey and Dean married at the Tunica RiverPark Museum a couple of months back. I love working at the museum. The grounds are just gorgeous and the architecture is really dynamic and unique. And, or course, the view of the Mississippi River is pretty incredible as well.

I met Ivey as she was getting ready at the Veranda Hotel, which is part of the Harrah's Grand Casino development in Robinsonville, Mississippi. Yes, for all of my non-Mississippi visitors, the casinos in Tunica, actually aren't in Tunica. They're in Robinsonville.

Ahhh, but I digress.

Ivey and Dean, thank you for letting me be a part of your day. I had a great time with you and your families.

Ashihai and James married in Cleveland a few weeks ago. This was actually the first wedding I've photographed in my hometown in a couple of years, and I was so honored to be a part of their day. Rain loomed for most of the day, but held off long enough for the newlyweds to get their horse and carriage ride in!

Here are a few images from the day. Congrats you two! Thank you so much for allowing me to record the day for you.

I've been anxious to show these, but had to wait until after the wedding to do so! I spent about four or five hours with kelly and her mom a few weeks ago creating these. We had a great time, and it was so much fun working with them both. I love it when my clients want to push and try new things, and kelly was certainly up for all kinds of fun ideas.

Here's a few from teh day.

kelly & dan ::: wedding

Having trouble viewing the images above? Click HERE for an alternative html gallery.

What a day!

Kelly and Dan were married in Greenville, Mississippi in a Catholic ceremony. because they were marrying in the Catholic church we had a tiny dilemma of the church holding regular mass about two hours before the ceremony, meaning it would be occupied until about an hour before Kelly and Dan were to be married. So what do these two do? They rent a limo bus to carry the wedding party around Greenville and the surrounding area for some really fun wedding party pics. We created a few images near a cypress swamp, on the river levee, and even on the new bridge being constructed over the Mississippi River. Which was very, very cool. It hasn't opened yet, and won't for a few more months. It was quite an experience being the only ones on top of such a large structure!

Here are a few images. Hope you like them. Kelly and Dan, thank you for letting me be a part of your day.

I spent this past Saturday in Rosedale with Lynn and Matt. It was another beautiful spring day. Perfect weather. Awesome skies.

Rosedale is such a wonderful old Delta town. You can just see the history everywhere. And so many cool places to create images. We wandered around town a little. Drove an old '57 Chevy up to the levee. And, of course, had some beautiful homes and a beautiful church with which to work.

The reception was held at the Blue levee, one of my favorite restaurants in all the Delta. If you ever reach the western end of Highway 8, or are headed down Highway 1 tracing your way along the Mississippi River, stop by and enjoy the wonderful food and awesome feel of the place.

Lynn and Matt -- thank you both for being so easy to work with. Here's a few of your images. I hope you enjoy them!

What a beautiful day for a wedding!

Melissa and Todd were married at the Old Place in Gautier and it could not have been a more perfect day. The weather was just over 70 degrees, the skies were perfect, and the light -- especially at the end of the day -- was just fantastic.

Meilissa and Todd, thank you both for allowing me to be with you for your wedding weekend. I can't wait to catch up soon. Here's a few images. I hope you guys enjoy them.

I was on the Mississippi Gulf Coast two weeks ago to photograph Melissa and Todd's wedding. On Friday night the rehearsal dinner was at Mary Mahoney's in Biloxi. It was such a beautiful night, and the toasts were such wonderful tributes to not only melissa and Todd, but their families as well. I had a blast and was very honored to be asked to help record such a moving night.

I had the pleasure of helping Janee' and Jemar record their wedding a couple of weeks ago. It was a wonderful night, filled with guests from all over the country. Janee' is from Kansas City and Jemar from Chicago, so this was a slightly different "Delta" wedding. Not many locals at all! Which was great. I hope all of you non-Deltans had a blast down here!

Here's a few images form the day.

I had the incredible pleasure of photographer Eloise and David's wedding the Saturday right after Christmas. It was such a wonderful night. And so much fun!

The ceremony was actually in the home of Eloise's parents -- in McComb, Mississippi. Then we all loaded up and headed to New Orleans for a reception that night at the Loews Hotel downtown. And what a party it was!

Hopefully, these images an give you a little glimpse as to all the fun and emotion that was shared. Thank you Eloise and David, for letting me be a part of such an awesome day. Can't wait to see you guys soon.

Sally and brian were married a couple of weeks ago in Senatobia, Mississippi and had their reception just a few miles away in Como. This wedding was one of the most genuine and most fun that I've ever attended. We talked before the wedding about doing group shots a little bit differently, so for the shots of the wedding party we pulled a bunch of trucks into and open field to add some light. They were certainly different than shots at the front of the alter !

Sally and Brian -- congratulations ! Thank you both so much for letting me be a part of your day. We need to visit agin really soon.

I'm back in my gallery today after a long weekend in New Orleans. What a blast! Carla and Chad were married in a beautiful ceremony at the Maison Dupuy in the French Quarter. Everything was absolutely stunning, and I do believe that everyone from North Mississippi and Omaha got a chance to experience New Orleans at its finest. The weather was outstanding, and since Friday was Halloween, the Quarter had the atmosphere of a mini-Mardi Gras.

Chad's parents Sheila and Marv treated everyone to a wonderful dinner and tons of fun on Friday night. The dinner was held at the Bourbon Vieux. The balcony overlooking Bourbon Street was perfect for the festivities -- especially when the parade by the Krewe of Boo came marching by.

I'll be posting images from the wedding soon!

I've been editing photos this week from Nancy Margaret and Andy's wedding. I first met Nancy Margaret and Andy earlier this summer at their engagement session in Oxford. I also spent a few days with them in D.C. as we did another session up there. I've really enjoyed getting to know these two, and I really look forward to working with them in creating their album once they get back from their honeymoon.

I was assisted in this wedding by a wonderful photographer from the Los Angeles area, Deb Tracey. She was such a help, and we had a blast working and visiting together. Thank you so much for all your help Deb. It was an honor to work with you.

We began the weekend at Nancy Margaret and Andy's rehearsal dinner, so we wound up with lots of images. I've decided to split the posts and do one for the rehearsal dinner and one for the wedding. So here is the first one!

Kate Barron of A Bash Events coordinated the wedding and did an outstanding job. She really had a lot on her plate, and she and her team handled everything beautifully. I was also excited to see my buddy David from Oxford Floral. David was like a little brother to me when we were younger. My brother and Dave were best buddies, so he was always at our house. This was the first time we've had a chance to work together, and it was really nice getting to visit with him a bit as we started our day. And I'm so glad to see him doing so well. His work is absolutely beautiful.

So here you go. A few images from the dinner at City Grocery. I'll be posting pics from the wedding day soon. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I met Nancy Margaret and Andy a few weeks ago for an engagement session. Things went so well we've got another planned for this Thursday in DC. I can't wait. It should be a ton of fun. This session was in Oxford, MS near Nancy Margaret's home, and I'm sure Andy will be thrilled to create some fun photos exploring the DC area near his home.

They'll be marrying this October in Water Valley, Mississippi and the wedding is going to be absolutely gorgeous. Kate Barron of A Bash Events is coordinating and I'll be assisted in my photo duties by Deb Tracy, who's flying in from California to second for me (thanks Deb!)

So I'll be leaving first thing tomorrow morning for a quick trip to DC, and be back in Cleveland Friday night. It'll be a bit tiring, but tons of fun. Nancy Margaret and Andy -- see y'all tomorrow!

Nancy & Roger : delta wedding

Having trouble viewing the images above? Click HERE for an alternative html gallery.

It's been a few weeks now, but I wanted to post a few images from Nancy and Roger's wedding. I was assisted at this wedding by a great photographer from Indianola named Mickey Mallett.

Nancy is from a small Mississippi Delta town named Inverness, and they were married at the Episcopal church there. It's a wonderfully quaint church. So simple and true. They spent most of the weekend at the beautiful Alluvian Hotel which is owned by the Viking Range company. It, too, is one of the Delta's gens. If you're ever passing through and looking for a hidden gem, this is the place. The cooking school and spa are as nice as you'll find anywhere.

The reception was held at the Greenwood Garden Club and was absolutely awesome. Take a look at a few of the detail shots above. I really liked their "guest book" as well as the jars they used to serve some of their drinks. And the band, Azizz -- they were incredible. If you are looking for a live band, give these guys a look.

Nancy and Roger, thank you both so much for letting me be a part of your day. I wish you both all the best!

Mandy & Matt ~wedding

Mandy and Matt were married a few weeks ago in Greneda. They rented cabins at the state park for the weekend and held their ceremony on the edge of the lake. It was quite windy leading up to and during the ceremony, but as the day slowly ended the weather became incredible. We made our way back down to the wedding site as the sun was setting and created some really great images. The light was perfect!

There were so many things I loved about this wedding. I loved the way Mandy and Matt tied in his south Louisiana heritage with her Mississippi Delta upbringing. The food was such a great reflection of this -- jambalaya, gumbo, catfish and hush puppies. And of course, much more. But it was how they made sure to include things that were important to each of them -- and their families-- that I found very touching.

Another thing that I found really unique and special was Mandy's version of the father-daughter dance. She told me a few weeks prior to her wedding that her father had an aversion to dancing. But she had a great solution and wanted to be sure I got photos of it.

Mandy was a college softball player. Her father coached her for years until she reached college, and he got so much pleasure watching his daughter playing ball. So when it came time for the father-daughter dance, Mandy took the DJ's microphone and told her father how much she loved him. She told him how much she appreciated his coaching and support throughout the years. She told him she knew he really didn't want to dance, so she had another idea. Then she led him outside where her best friend and teammate for so many years had gloves waiting for Mandy and her dad. So Mr. Russell and his little girl proceeded to have one last "catch" together. A fitting way to "dance" with your father, mentor, and friend if I've ever seen one.

It was all I could do to keep from getting watery-eyed as it reminded me a lot of my younger days as well. Such a special and touching idea. There are a few photos included here of the "father-daughter" dance.

I hope you enjoy looking at all of these images as much as I did creating them.

blessings,

Danielle & Josh ~wedding

Danielle and Josh were married a few weeks ago at Lake Caroline just outside Madison, Mississippi. The ceremony was very intimate and very beautiful. Even though the weather was quite treacherous the night before, Saturday turned out perfect and the sunset wedding was really, really nice.

Thank you Danielle and Josh for letting me be a part of your day. Best wishes to you both.

Danielle & Josh ~the night before

It's the night before Danielle and Josh's wedding. The video above pretty much shows what has gone on around Jackson today. Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes rolled through the area, and over 92,000 homes are without power. Luckily I called ahead to get a hotel room, because this place is swarming with people that have lost power to their homes. Entergy reports that over 20% of ALL it's Mississippi clients are without power. Amazing. And many of them won't be getting power restored until Monday.

I haven't heard if anyone is injured or not. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everyone is safe here in Central Mississippi. I'll be glued to the news here shortly to get more reports. Prayers and warm thoughts to everyone affected by the brutal storms today.

More later.


Blessings,

Dinah & Patrick ~wedding

I spent the weekend in Jackson photographing Dinah and Patrick's wedding. They were married at the First Baptist Church on State Street. That place is HUGE. The main sanctuary is larger than most theaters I've visited. Dinah and Patrick, however, were married in the adjoining chapel, which is so quaint and perfect.

We were right across the street from the Mississippi State Capitol, so we did a lot of our photography over there. The weather was perfect and all of the flowers are trees are starting to come back--it really was one of the prettiest days we've had in a while.

The reception was just down the street at the Old Capitol Inn. It's a boutique hotel that really is one of my favorite locations to work. They handle all of the details of the reception and they do it really well.

Congratulations Dinah and Patrick -- thank you both so much for letting me be a part of your day!

Aimee and Will ~wedding

Aimee and Will were married this past Saturday. It turned out to be a beautiful afternoon and evening, but not without a scare. A tornado ripped through town about 4:00 AM Saturday morning and wreaked havoc on the area, but luckily didn't cause any damage to any of the wedding venues--or to any of the homes of their families and friends.

We had a blast. The wedding party was great and the service and reception were beautiful.

Congrats Aimee and Will. I wish you both all the best.

Aimee and Will ~ esession

Aimee and Will are getting married this Saturday in Tunica, Mississippi. We met a few weeks ago to go over a few details and create some fun images for their engagement session. We spent a couple of hours riding around some of the backroads of the north Mississippi Delta--always one of my most favorite things to do. They are a great couple and I cannot wait to help them celebrate their wedding on Saturday. It's coming at a time when I really need to have a happy day, and it's going to be absolutely beautiful.

They are marrying at a small church in Tunica. It's an old, wonderfully solid small town church. The reception will be held right on the Mississippi River at the Tunica River Park, which is just a stone's throw from the casinos. Everything should happen right around sunset, which will only make things even more magical.

Keep an eye out here. I'll post images from their wedding soon.


Take care,

Nancy & Roger : Engagement Session

I met Nancy and Roger this past Saturday for their Esession. They both live in Birmingham, but will be marrying in Nancy's hometown of Inverness, Mississippi. It's one of our wonderfully beautiful small Delta towns. The wedding is in April and I can't wait to see how gorgeous Deer Creek will be that time of year. If this first run (in January, no less) is any indication, the images from the wedding should turn out great!

OSP NOLA

Part of my trip last week was spent in New Orleans. I met several other photographers in the French Quarter and we spent three days listening to great speakers and roaming the streets. We had several great models assisting us, and boy were they ever patient with us! I can't imagine how tough it must be to model in the first place, much less in the middle of Bourbon Street with 10 photographers yelling different directions at you. Thanks to all of our models for all of their hard work.

On Monday night we had a night shoot in the French Quarter, and Tuesday we went across the river to a cemetery in Algiers. Here are a few images from those shoots.

Amber & Christopher

Amber and Christopher were married a few weeks ago near Chattanooga. The weather was wonderful, the settings beautiful and the couple. . . .well, they were soooo much fun to work with. You can see their engagement session here.

A beautiful night at the Cadre Building

What a great night!

Jennifer and Bob were married last night in a beautiful ceremony and reception at the Cadre building in downtown Memphis. We had a great time and created some great images. I got to meet a lot of really great people and saw several faces that I haven't seen since my time as a junior high English teacher nearly 15 years ago.

Settling in for big day tomorrow

So I've just arrived in my hotel room here in Tunica, MS. Amazing how
much this place has changed in the last 15 years. What once was
cotton fields as far as you could see is now filled with neon lights
and tons of activity. Tunica County was once the poorest county in
America. It now is the wealthiest in Mississippi. Amazing.

Anyway, a good friend of mine was nice enough to set me up with a
hotel room for the weekend and I'm now settling in for a big wedding
tomorrow in Downtown Memphis. You should see it. You'd think I'd be
out playing blackjack or something, but instead I'm ironing shirts,
polishing shoes, and charging camera batteries! Oh, and watching
foorball in the background. Multi-tasking at it's finest!

It's about a 20 minute drive from here to the location, so I should
get a good night's rest and be ready to go when I meet Jennifer and
Bob around noon. The weather should be perfect and the venue is
gorgeous. I can't wait!

Amber & Christpher

OK. I'm getting older. As if the hair in the shower drain weren't enough of a reminder every morning, last week I photographed Jennifer and Bob for their engagement session.(I coached at her high school when she was a junior,see below) Well, this week I had an appointment with Little Christopher Card and his fiance' Amber.

Actually Christopher has grown into quite a young man. A tall, strong, Air Force young man. (And Christopher, I use the term "Little" lovingly.) Christopher's parents, Bob and Beverly, are great friends of my mom and dad. Bob was perhaps the finest coach I've ever had (high school football and basketball) and definitely the best history teacher I've ever known. So I've known Christopher since he was just a wee-little thing. It makes me proud to see what he's become, so I can only imagine how his parents must be bursting. And to top it off, he is marrying such a sweet girl in Amber.

The wedding will be near Riceville, Tennessee in September. I can't wait--the weather should be gorgeous and the foliage at that time will make for stunning backdrops.




Christopher and Amber had a very tight schedule as they were in town for only a few days and had lots of parties and showers to attend. So we met early Sunday morning in the cool little Delta town of Merigold and played around a bit. The old buildings there make for great images, but we didn't stop there. Seeing as Christopher would be marrying outside his hometown, and he currently lives in Texas, I though it would be nice to create some images with a reminder of home. So we made sure to visit some crops (usually cotton, but this year it's corn) and Po' Monkeys Lounge--our local "juke joint" made famous by Annie Leibovitz in Vanity Fair magazine.

More from Jennifer & Bob

I've been editing Jennifer and Bob's engagement session the last few days and the images are great! They had so much fun with each other and it really shows. Here is the slideshow.

Jennifer & Bob

Well, I first have to apologize for being so tardy in posting! It's been a busy month--which is a good thing. I have a ton of stuff to put up here so there should be quite a few new posts the next few days.

The first is an engagement session from Saturday (7-7-07). Let me preface this by saying that my first job post-college was teaching 7th and 8th grade English (as well as coaching football and baseball) at Marshall Academy in Holly Springs, MS. While Jennifer was not in one of my classes she was a student (she was a Junior at the time). So it's kinda strange beng called "Coach Jacks" during a photo shoot.

I met Jennifer and Bob around 4:00 PM in Memphis and we didn't stop until around midnight! But it really only seemed like about an hour or two had passed. We went all over downtown--the river (naturally) , a Redbirds ballgame, the trolley, Flying Saucer (one of my favorites!), and of course, Beale Street.

The wedding is in Downtown Memphis on September 29 and I can not wait. It's going to be too much fun!

Cindy & Michael

Cindy and Michael were married recently here in Cleveland. The weather was absolutely perfect. It is not uncommon for us to have 90+ degree days in May, but for Cindy and Michael the weather stayed very nice around the low 80's. The sun was out and the light was beautiful.

Here are a few images along with the slideshow.

Jennifer & Matt

I had the pleasure of photographing Jennifer and Matt's wedding this past Saturday at Cedar Grove Mansion in Vicksburg, Mississippi. It was absolutely gorgeous. The weather was perfect, and the grounds of Cedar Grove were incredible.

Congrats, Mr. & Mrs. Byrd !

Stacy & Frank

I wanted to share a few images from Stacy and Frank's wedding last night in Memphis. The weather was crazy (we had a tornado scare) but by the end of the night downtown Memphis was beautiful! The rain actually created beautiful reflections on the streets. I could have wandered around all night photographing them around the buildings near Beale Street, but of course we had a reception to get to.

You can view the slideshow here.

Congrats, Stacy and Frank. I had a great time!
