laura and robby’s wedding was like one of those weddings that you read about. (and i don’t just mean because you are reading about it, either.) ;) what i mean is, every detail and every moment of that day seemed perfect — as if the world were literally revolving around these two amazing people in honor of their marriage. not to say that the big day was “scripted” in the least, or that it even went to plan. (few weddings ever go to plan, and i’m not sure that they should. what fun would that be?) for instance, one of my favorite images from the day consisted of the groom and groomsmen standing outside their locked hotel room after checkout, calling for some merciful employee to let them back in for some last minute preparations — such as getting dressed. and certainly no one expected the inside sprinkler system to come alive during the reception at the st. simons casino. but after wine glasses were thrown over the sprinkler heads and the chairs were patted dry, the plants in the place really did look lush!
of course none of that could dampen the spirits of life-loving people like laura and robby, or of their fun-loving families. quite the opposite! we had a ball! arriving friday evening, we were so happy to be invited for an exclusive pre-wedding shindig atop the honeymoon suite courtesy of laura’s godfather at his amaaazing hotel. i packed my camera, as always, but mostly just enjoyed meeting everyone who had come together to celebrate and love on laura and robby. despite the wet weather that evening, things cleared up beautifully for the wedding day. i couldn’t get enough of the fresh, salty air — and we were blessed with even more beautiful weather on sunday, the first full day of laura and robby’s wedded life which we were lucky enough to spend with them for a very special encore session. don’t sweat it; those portraits will be up soon. until then, here’s a peek into a few moments that made history…

welcome back, everyone! after a long — and very hectic — holiday season, we couldn’t be happier to be blogging with you once again. we’re especially excited to be hearing from so many of you who got engaged during the break. congratulations!! our 2010 calendar is really filling up nicely– even interest in a couple slots for summer 2011 already. (talk about early birds! but, hey, that’s how ya catch them worms, right?) we can’t wait to meet all the new, creative, crazy-in-love couples who we know will make 2010 a year like no other!
you probably remember jesica and matthew. theirs was our last engagement shoot of the past year, and we can’t wait for their wedding! (you’ll be the first to see images of that blessed event later this year.) until then, enjoy the new pics in their slideshow! here it is…

it seems like ages ago when we first heard from dennis, a doctoral student transplanted to uga from california. he wanted to plan a special portrait session for his very special girlfriend, julie, and her daughter. as he confided in us, moving from sunny california to the deep south was, at first, a daunting prospect — meeting these two made it an indescribably worthwhile venture.
after scheduling conflicts and weather delays, we finally got to meet dennis and his lovely ladies in person, just in time for the holidays. it was pretty evident why dennis felt so fortunate. we could have spent the whole day with this mom-daughter duo quite happily! julie’s an awesome mom. we loved the carefree spirit she had while playing and laughing with her daughter.
the phrase “like mother, like daughter” is true in so many ways with this pair. julie’s daughter was so fun and creative! and she already digs photography, too. (our kinda kid!) once she realized how much we liked working with her ideas, there was no stopping her brilliantly imaginative vision! (to be young again, eh?)
we couldn’t have asked for a more charming trio than you guys! thanks for letting us join in on all your fun! merry Christmas!
julie tried very hard to avoid making silly faces at the camera, in spite of our prodding. but we still got one! (it’s hard to hide when you’re having this much crazy fun.)
that’s right.. don’t mess with this “wonder woman!”
oh, i almost forgot. one of the best things to come out of this photo shoot — the egyptian walk. we never met anyone who could walk like an egyptian so well — not even an egyptian. but this girl has got it goin’ on! nice work!

in my humble opinion, the best thing about this time of year is the way families come together. one of the sweetest perks of our job is getting to share some of that family time with new people, like the cool crew you see here! well, not exactly new people. only one of them was “new” in the true sense of the word. (she’s the little one, in case you’re wondering.) but new to us. and now it’s hard for eileen and me to imagine what this Christmas would have been like without them.
the three campbell kids and their significant others are separated by a long distance most of the year — from washington state to georgia. but to watch their warm interactions, it’s clear they’re as close as ever. thanks for letting us share in your holiday cheer, you guys. it’s certainly contagious!
and to everyone else out there, merry Christmas to you, too. enjoy it!
who could resist that baby face? this kiddo was such a cutie. always smiling. (she must have already figured out that santa’s on his way.)
remember the game “one of these things is not like the other?” well, let’s just say when it came to electing black dress shoes for the family photo shoot, adam didn’t get the memo. and we all had fun giving him a hard time about it. (actually, i thought his kicks were great! the red and green were very festive.)
