Friday Foto: peek-a-boo


Good morning, I'm back. I bet you missed me huh? Today's foto comes from the last wedding I shot. Like a lot of wedding/event photography, you have to be in the right place at the right time. I was just outside of the chapel while the family was processing into the church. The bride stood anxiously inside the bridal room waiting Pachelbel's Canon in D. I love it. It really sums up the bride's joyous anxiety.

So how have I been? Busy. We hosted our annual two-part Soiree last week. Our Holiday Soiree on the day after Thanksgiving was fun. We had a good turn out. However this year lacked a feeling that previous soiree's exuded. Maybe it was the absence of random cameos by long-lost friends, or maybe the absence and tardiness of other not-so-long-lost friends that led to the overall ho-hum-ness that was coupled with the familiar headache come Saturday morning. Oh well, we have December 22 to look forward to and improve upon our effort to produce that super Soiree sensation. Tacky Christmas sweaters welcome.

This weekend could come at a better time. I'm going to my friend's farmland in Dublin Saturday morning to spend the night under the stars. I'll drink, fish, eat and probably drive through a lot of mud. It will be a much needed recharge session for Kelly and I. The arrival of Christmas season is always an anticipated and dreaded time for us. Christmas holds a special place in our hearts, having gotten married a week before. But the looming receipts acquired always bring tension. It often requires us to take a little break. I go camping, she goes shopping. Go figure. (I love you.)

I hope to get some fun photos this weekend out at the farm and will definitely share them with you upon my return. Hope you all have a great weekend and can spend a little time "recharging" before you begin the world-wind season of Christmas. It's here, don't try to deny it. Kenny and Dolly's White Christmas is in my CD player. Watch out!

Friday Foto: Fall Upon Us

Man, am I so glad it's Friday. This week was short, Monday was Veteran's Day and I was driving back from our cabin in Blue Ridge, but this week was a horrible one for me. I was sick the first half and had a lot of crap going on at work the later half. It's all coming to a close thankfully; I feel better too.

I'm pretty excited about this weekend. Kelly and I and another couple are going to the Land Trust Oyster Roast. It's one of my highlights of the fall season. Great food, good people and all at night out at Ft. Frederica. It's a rare treat that we get to hang out at night over at the fort.... it's so neat.

So last weekend was great. We went to our cabin in Blue Ridge Friday night and then skipped up to Nashville to watch Kel's brother play (tightend for Vandy) against Kentucky. We lost, but Jake had his first career touchdown, and it was awesome... 30 yds! We got back up to the cabin around Sunday afternoon and I spend some time in the fall foliage shooting. It was pretty nice. Hope you guys enjoy the montage of fall photos.

By the way, I hope all of yall are prepping... Fall Soiree is now ONE week away!

Friday Foto: Not much new...


Happy Friday, and how happy I am. I'm so glad it's Friday. Today's Foto is fresh out of the camera, I like it OK. I took a lot of photos this morning and this is the first one I processed so I could get it out there for all your hungry eyes. Hope you like it...

So not much is new. My Jeep is back to running, I'm happy. November is here, which means Thanksgiving, but more importantly, SOIREE TIME!!! Who's excited? Evites will be going out soon.

I don't have much going on this weekend. A little dinner party on Saturday night and that's about it. I plan on playing with my Jeep, working on the house and hanging out with the wifey... perfect weekend, don't be jealous.

Hope all is well!
