Loren and Sam - Opportunity Backfired!

April 30, 2008 | Filed Under Events | Comments Off 

There are tons of great places to photograph in the downtown area, but as photographers we sometimes are guilty of using the same places over and over. I wanted something a little different for Loren and Sam. I arrived downtown about an hour early so I could scout for new locations.

I noticed that people were milling around at St. Pauls Cathedral was excited at the prospect of taking a few photographs in the garden. The gate had always previously been locked, today was my lucky day. Little did I know . . .

As soon as Loren and Sam arrived we rushed to the church so we could get their before they closed. We spent about 15 minutes taking photos in and around the gardens. Satisfied, we headed toward the car to go to our next location.

We discovered that the custodian of the church locks the gates at 4:00. We also discovered that being inside was not a good place to be after the gates are locked. To make a long story short, we had to resort to scaling an 8ft wall to exit the grounds.

Not a great first impression - Sorry guys!! But you have to admit the photos are wonderful!

Thankfully - The rest of our day was much less exciting.

We had a great time visiting Linn Park, Museum of Art, and several other wonderful Birmingham Landmarks.

Loren and Sam are a lovely couple and I am really looking forward to photographing their wedding in a few weeks.

Be sure and check out their slideshow to see the rest of the photos!


Congratulations Julie and Jonathan!!

Jonathan, your not supposed to be reading my blog. Julie doesn’t want you to see the dress before the wedding. So if your reading this, you’re busted!!

There. With the disclaimer out of the way, here’s the photos. Julie chose Cobb Lane Bed and Breakfast for the location of her Bridal Portraits. I’m not sure which is more beautiful, the venue or the bride!!

Sometimes you have a photosession where everything just goes RIGHT! Beautiful day, beautiful bride, beautiful dress, beautiful location, beautiful smile . . . My job doesn’t get any easier than this. Rachel chose the Birmingham Botanical Gardens as the site for her bridal portraits. Rachel’s Mom is a photo enthusist and tagged along as my assistant. I was thrilled that she was able to get some wonderful shots of her daughter with her own camera. Thanks Mom ! Couldn’t have done it without you !



Shearon and Zollie at Sloss Furnace

March 27, 2008 | Filed Under Events, engagements | Leave a Comment 

On April 18, 1882, Sloss Furnaces began producing iron and did not stop until ninety years later. Fast forward 127 years and you can tell that Sloss is still creating some heat!! Shearon and Zollie had been dating for some time when Zollie popped the question. They were at Sloss Furnace. They seem to be made for each other. I’m proud to be a part of a little more history that was made at the Furnace. Carol and I are looking forward to the wedding on April 5th.

On March 8th 2008 - Karlyn and Dario tied the knot. And what a wonderful wedding it was!! We began our day at New Hope Baptist Church. The ceremony went off without a hitch… (oh wait - they DID get hitched).

The second stop of the day was at Linn Park for a quick photoshoot. Followed by the reception at the glorious Tutwiler Hotel in downtown Birmingham. FABULOUS!!


The Dress -

Bill and Cyndi are having a renaissance themed wedding!!! Unable to fine a period wedding dress, Cyndi commissioned my darling Carol to design and tailor her perfect renaissance wedding dress. After numerous fittings, adjustments, alterations, redesigns, and many long hours, Carol is ready to unveil her creation. I’m so proud of her!! The bride and groom to be were quite pleased too!!

Sometimes you can just tell when people are in love!!

Karlyn and Dario currently live in the Washington DC area. The wedding of Karlyn’s cousin, Anjanetta, brought them back to to Alabama for the weekend. This gave us an opportunity to get to know each other and to take some wonderful photos. We had a great time!
