e-session + Blue Balloons + Jess + Blake = Too many great photos. Take 1







What can I say, we made way too many photos and they were all awesome. I'm still editing away, but to start you out I wanted to show you these awesome balloons. We had tons of fun with them, but let them go eventually.

Definitely be looking for some more to come!



























We started with 8 balloons, and then took one to go make some pictures with it. We had tied the rest up, but when we came back they had untied themselves and flew away. So instead of letting them all go, we just had a chance to let one go. It was sad, but we have some great pictures to remember these balloons!

Griffin and Seana "Remember the Day" Signed Print

Choosing one photo of the thousands I shot on a wedding day is tough. I put so much passion into making every image and I wish I could give Griffin and Seana all of them! Our "Remember the Day" signed print turns a photo from just being a photo to being a signed work of art.

I do a lot of thinking before I decide on a print. The look on their faces, the awesome light and the moment that they were sharing guided me to this one. I hope it finds a place on their wall next to many of the others!




Look how gorgeous this 3/4" Standout mounting looks!

Sara and Bryan's Wedding Part 3

Oh, and did I mention I broke out the red umbrella again! Anyone know where I can get these things in bulk. I would definitely love to get more. If I'm not careful I'm going to get branded by my red umbrellas. Maybe that's not so bad!






Really I am just trying to save it for rainy days. The rain toyed with us, so we were stuck inside for a little while, which means I had to work a little harder to be creative.




Some of the greatness was in the colors, purple and red, chosen for this wedding. The bridesmaid dresses were definitely a hot red! I can't ask for a better color, my biggest concern was that the eye would go right to the red and you might lose the bride in all that color. After I thought about it, I remembered learning about the Gestalt theory, in photojournalism school, which deals with negative space in a photo. It basically says that if you have a dominant color in an image your eye will go to the non-dominant color. So if a page is all white, you will go to the red dot on it or if it's all red, you will go to the white dot. So with all of the bridesmaids being in red, your eye will go to the white brides dress.





It went awesome with those bright red bridesmaid dresses. I could not get enough of them. It may be tough to give them up, but when some of those girls are ready, I am sure I could find use for them on a couple photo shoots. Just send them my way!



The scenery, wow the scenery! The Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa is gorgeous!


And then there was the rest of the reception




Sara's mom is an interior designer, so the centerpieces were from items she found around her mom's house! What a great idea!





Did you see these little glass slippers to hold everyone's name cards?

Bryan and Sara certainly knew how to have fun!





Of course there was the singing too

and Sara knew how to get down and dance!
