Meet Dave and his three beautiful daughters, and Lisa his amazing bride! They were married at Watercolor Inn on the beach and enjoyed an intimate dinner in the Wine Room at Fish out of Water. Very, very nice.

We are so excited that two of our recent weddings were featured on Southern Weddings & Style Magazine blog! Our November 2007 couple Brittany and Wilson was featured earlier this month, and our May 3rd, 2008 couple Julie and Andy was featured this week in a two part series that also includes an interview of Paul. Here is part one, and then part two.

OH! MY! GOODNESS! All I can say is we can not wait until May 2nd ‘09 to shoot their wedding in Birmingham AL!

We have been so busy this month with Creative Sessions! Here are a few images from each session we have shot lately.

Diane and her beautiful family in Sandestin

This is Michelle Jenkins of www.michellejphoto.com and her FUN family!

This was a great crowd! We see so many families year after year. The kids get older and new ones arrive!

You may remember Celia and Hank from July of last year. Well now they are having a baby! Here are a few shots from their maternity session.

I think Allison and Bay had a perfect day at Carillon. At first there were huge clouds with thunder rolling and a heavy drizzle right up to the ceremony start time. All the guests were waiting with their umbrellas for Allison to arrive. Victoria with Carillon Weddings made the call to proceed and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The rain had all but stopped, the steel drums played the breeze was blowing and everyone put away their umbrellas as Allison walked down the isle. I felt like I was on a tropical island somewhere in the Caribbean!

First I want to say that Kim and Johnathan had a wonderful day, cool for June, for sure! We met with Kim and Johnathan over a year ago at Carillon sitting in the courtyard talking about how they imagined their wedding, at Carillon Beach. I can’t believe that their wedding has come and gone! I hope what we provided them will help them remember the day as fondly, as they did that very day. The little guy in the second shot is the ring bearer, who was so proud of his Swiss Army knife that Johnathan gave him as a gift. The next few shots are actually shots that I see every time I cull through images but thought I would share the coolness with you too! I am with the bride and her family while she is getting ready and Paul is always with the groom while he is getting ready. It is truly invaluable to have two shooters who can capture the real life that goes on during your day!

Notice how Kim is helping her mom with her wedding garb and Johnathan is helping his dad with his details. Then Kim’s mom is buttoning her dress while Johnathan’s dad is helping him with his cuff lengths! The amazing thing to me is this is happening at the same time! Promise, the file’s date and times are the same!

Kim had a beautiful gold tone throughout her reception. I loved this great chanderlere!

This was during the first dance, Kim was so excited!

What a heartfelt day! So many things I could say about this wedding, wow where to start. First 200+ guests and Victoria at Carillon Weddings did a fabulous job keeping everything running smoothly! The BIGGEST wedding party ever! 16 groomsmen and 6 bridesmaids. Oh and Maris’ exquisite bouquet had a few flowers, if you look closely, created out of fish scales! FABULOUS! Not to mention the connection that was obvious between these two love birds!

This was a hard wedding to choose just a few of my favorites from! Molly and Lake are definitely people who like to have a great time, they love their family and friends and made sure that everyone had a great time too. Lake and his groomsmen walked several blocks to have a toast with his friend who was the bartender. Molly was so cute with her Betty Boop handbag that was given to her as a gift, she carried it on her way to the ceremony.
