jordan & darren | ENGAGED

I really can’t even say enough good things about these two. We had some serious opposition in seeing their shoot happen–rain delays and weather scares made us think it might never happen. But, it did. And it was one of the most enjoyable engagement sessions I’ve had in a while. Jordan & Darren are real and genuine people. No pretenses or facades, they’re just up front about who they are. I dig that.

I can’t wait for their wedding in October, ’cause I know Jess and I will have a blast spending the weekend with them. It’s a wedding I realllllly look forward to shooting. Here’s a few from the engagement session…

I really have the world’s best clients

Just got a thank-you note in the mail following an engagement session I did last week. I tell people all the time how lucky I am to work with the people I get to work with… and here’s a perfect example of why I wake up happy to go to work every single day…

Brittney, I had such a great time with you two. I can’t WAIT for the wedding and, yeah, thanks for putting your faces really close…:)

and, I’m guessing this is probably the shot she was referencing…;)

meredith & greyson | FOTOBOOTH

If you have a reception in the 115 degree heat and need to keep your guests from complaining, the FOTOBOOTH seems to be the best solution. No, we didn’t pour water on each of the guests that came through… it’s just sweat. And lots of it.

My wife’s best friend, Meredith, married another good friend of ours, Greyson, this past weekend. The day was sweet, even if it was super hot. The wedding post will come later, but I wanted to throw up a few of the FOTOBOOTH images to help brighten up this Monday!

Oh, and gotta give a HUGE thanks my office manager extraordinaire Heather and her husband (and one of my best buds) Eliott who manned the booth for most of the evening…

Well hello intimidating:

Megan & Matt | ENGAGED

Megan and I have one fairly unique thing in common: when everyone else is relaxing on the weekend, we’re working. Megan is a news anchor for our local ABC affiliate and anchors the weekend news program. Matt’s a lawyer in Jackson, so you can imagine that as we roamed around downtown Jackson just about everyone we ran into knew these two. I had such a good time getting to know them both better, which will make things even better when their wedding rolls around this December. Another thing better about their wedding day:  it will (thankfully) not be nearly as hot as their engagement session was. Here’s a few from our day together…

Mr. & Mrs. Sharp

Amanda is a bride who prioritized photography in such a wonderful way. She was so willing to let me shoot as much as I wanted, and even when I was tired, she was ready to shoot some more. I loved it. As a result, we were able to get plenty of great portraits of her and Patrick. Their wedding was an elegant down-home-feeling occasion with good friends everywhere.

Thanks you two… had a blast!

Patrick was a cheerleader at USM and made it look like a piece of cake to (literally) throw his bride way up in the air. I was impressed.
