Guardian Angel!

I listed this 16 x 24 inch print on Canvas yesterday on Etsy if anybody is interested. Besides wedding photography I love creating beautiful art pieces with the help of my photography. This print is stunning and it is is stretched and ready to hang. One of my clients has one of these prints hanging right by her front door to protect her home, I thought that was such a nice idea.

Not Wedding Related..........but so true..........

You all need a laugh......... I went to Ingles today and thought a nice fresh baquet would be nice for dinner. When I reached into the basket they all felt really hard, so I went to the bakery person and asked them if they had fresh ones. She told me with a very stern face............."THESE are fresh" :( well I said....... "they sure seem very hard" and I proceeded to hit my poor husband with the "FRESH" baquet over the head........WOW you should have heard THAT BANG, I swear you could hear it all over the store and I felt sooooooooo bad for my poor husband, I knew it was hard, but I had no idea it was hard as a ROCK. :( I am still checking his head for damage............ TRUE STORY
At least we had a good laugh on the way out of the store ;)!

Splendor Mountain Wedding!

I just loved the colors of this wedding........everything was so bright and beautiful. The couple had chosen Splendor Mountain for their wedding and it was the perfect backdrop for this wedding. I just had to share this wedding even though it has been a couple of years since I photographed it. One of the things that I thought was so nice was that the bridesmaids had solid dresses and the maid of honor a floral dress, it set everything off so nicely.

Chota Falls Waterfall!

I was at Chota Falls yesterday photographing an autism workshop and party for young adult autistic guys and girls and while there I was able to get these shots of the waterfall early in the morning. It was a great day all the way around..........a beautiful waterfall and happy smiles all over the place.

Talking About Flowers!

Every time we shoot a wedding I am always in love with the flowers and beautiful table settings. I loved these specially since they were not the usual flowers in a vase type of center-pieces.


Great Article by a Florist and so TRUE!

We liked this article by a florist, not only is it true for them but it blends over into photography too. You can always get things cheaper, but will you get what you want?!?! Do you really think a photographer that charges $600 for an entire day has the equipment and insurance that a professional does. Forget about them putting in the time after the wedding to make your photos stand apart from so many so called photographers, the ones that have A CAMERA and took one or two little photo courses and they think now they are ready to shoot weddings. Wedding Photography is an art and not something that is just thrown together on a fly. http://flirtyfleurs.com/let-me-clarify-you-can-always-get-it-cheaper/
