Wedding & Reception Services Magazine Cover Shoot

2008-09-26T17:15:00.003-04:00

Every once in a while, we get the opportunity to take part in something fabulous! Something that we get lots of exposure from and tons of compliments on. We also have a blast and meet all kinds of other vendors. This thing I'm talking about is a magazine cover shoot. We are very selective with who we advertise with and Wedding and Reception Services Magazine is one of the big ones. We were approached by the publisher, Greg, and asked to shoot the reigning Miss Jacksonville, in a bridal gown, at the new TPC Clubhouse for the new magazine cover. Another photographer, Vincent Pierce, who rocks in fashion photography, came out with us to shoot and we all had a blast! Victoria Boyles did an awesome job with hair and Kimtasha Armstrong did amazing with the makeup. We also had another model with us as well, Tisha Savage, with Savage Model and Talent. Both girls were a pleasure to work with. This is just a taste of the half a day shoot. We'll post more soon!

Something a little out of the ordinary...

2008-09-26T17:11:00.005-04:00

August 7th we headed out to Guana River State park to shoot Angie and Alejandro's engagement session. However, their family wanted to have their images photographed as well, so we did a combo session with the fam and the couple all in about 2 hours total. We started with the family and ended with the couple. It was a lot of fun!

Traci and Joe are Married!!!

2008-09-26T16:53:00.005-04:00

Traci and Joe are such a gorgeous couple, who wouldn't want to take their photographs?! They exchanged vows on August 2nd at Decatur UMC and the reception took place at Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Atlanta, Georgia. It was pretty awesome as you can see from the pictures. There were circus performers from the FSU circus and the reception was right in the middle of everything! It was one of the most unique reception sites we've been to.

No longer on blogging hiatus...

It's been a while and I'm going to try and get this thing updated today and tomorrow. We have been really busy with so many different things. Back on July 29th we did another Kissable Kollection 3 month shoot with Haley! She is so stinkin cute.

Traci & Joe's Engagement Session!

2008-07-23T10:45:00.004-04:00

Somehow we always end up with such cute, fun loving couples. Traci & Joe had their engagement session on July 17, 2008 at Marineland/Washington Oaks Beach area. They live in Orlando and the Wedding will take place in Atlanta the beginning of August, so we were cutting it kind of close. We had already rescheduled once due to the awful Florida weather. But, we took the chance this time and in between rainstorms, took some awesome pictures! Traci was the Maid of Honor at one of our Weddings last year and loved us so much, she booked us as soon as she got engaged. We are thrilled to be a part of her day!

This couple is so adorable! Joy, our office Manager, went to middle school with both of them and they are so easy going and fun loving! We can't wait to participate in their wedding in December! But for now, their Engagement Session took place on June 26th at Guana River State Park. It was a great sunset for photos!

Allison & Adam...Forever and Always!

Once again, the Lord blessed us with the manpower and capabilities to conquer 2 weddings in 1 day! Allison and Adam, another fab couple, promised till death do them part at the Community Presbyterian Church on Atlantic on May 31st. They are such a fun and relaxed couple. We really enjoyed working with them throughout the entire process! The reception followed the ceremony at the Selva Marina in Atlantic Beach. Michelle at Selva Marina was a joy to work with. We always enjoy Chris with Footloose Entertainment who does a great job keeping the reception going! Liz Stewart did a beautiful job with the flowers. And, the whimsical cake, by Classic Cakes, tasted delicious!

Susan & Forrest Exchange Vows!

In a small ceremony on the beach, on June 21, 2008, Susan and Forrest said "I Do!" The reception followed at the Comfort Inn Oceanfront. The decor for the beach ceremony was provided by Sun and Sea Beach Weddings of St. Augustine. It was a quaint affair!

We had the pleasure of working with one of our good buddies, David Hanscomb, of Y? Entertainment who always keeps the crowd entertained!

Jenna's Bridal Session

We love doing Bridals with our girls! We call it a dry run before the big day. It's a chance for the Bride to get all the elements together and see exactly what they'll look like the day of! Jenna's took place in our studio on June 12, 2008. She has beautiful strawberry hair and wore a very elegant strapless gown!

Jennifer & Craig get married!

We were blessed and able to cover 2 weddings in one day this month! Our second May 31st wedding was Jennifer and Craig! The ceremony was held at Lakewood United Methodist Church with the reception immediately following in the church's Gymnasium. We had the privilege of working with Hurst Florist, Wade Thigpen as the DJ, and Classic Cakes who always do a beautiful job!

Amy & Ruben say "I Do!"

2008-07-14T11:23:00.013-04:00

It was a perfect day, May 31, 2008, for Amy and Ruben to tie the knot. The 2pm full mass ceremony at Resurrection Catholic Church on University Blvd was the ideal setting for such a glamorous couple! The reception took place at Bolero's on Atlantic and was also lavishly decorated! What a joy this couple was to work with the whole way through! We provided full day photography as well as videography! That video will be FUN to edit! The beautiful flowers, decor and coordination of the day were arranged by Royalty Events in Jacksonville Beach. The fabulous food and beverages were catered by Cobblestones Catering in Julington Creek. And, props to the man who kept the reception alive, Walter from the Latin Radio Station! We can't wait to design the album and watch the finished video...it will be like reliving the fabulous day all over again!

Katie & Mike tie the knot!

2008-05-20T10:12:00.017-04:00

May 17, 2008, at their home off the Intracoastal, Katie and Mike exchanged vows and forever proclaimed their love in front of many family and friends! The ceremony began at 5pm outside in the backyard. As you can see it was beautiful! The reception took place at Casa Marina. We left at 10pm, but they were still having way too much fun! With roughly 300 guests in attendance, there was hardly any room to move, but everyone had a blast. We love doing these kinds of weddings...the ones that are high-energy, full of personality and run oh so smoothly! The bridal party was rather large as well, but everyone was so easy to work with and we really enjoyed sharing the day with the happy couple and everyone involved! We captured some amazing images!

Welcome...

I told myself I would never be doing this, however, we've decided to succumb to the pressure of trends and blogging. We thought it would be nice to have a place where we can feature each and every wedding, engagement, bridal, family, child, senior, and any other event fathomable that we participate in. The pictures will tell the stories, obviously, however there is always something more that can be said! And, of course, we love feedback and kudos! So, enjoy our newest addition to our everchanging business!
