Weddings this Summer and Fall are plentiful for us and we’ve been busy shooting, editing and posting beautiful images! I am slightly behind with the website bog posts – so I am trying to play catch up. We shot the wedding of Kate and Rod mid June and we knew this one would be different. Having worked with Kate and Rod shooting their e-session last summer, I knew that their wedding day would be one filled with laughter and fun. What a great group!
This past week I had the distinct pleasure of shooting Senior Portraits for two very special guys. One being my dear friend’s son, Chad. The other being our own son, Alan — so TALK about a tear jerker! Still dealing with the anxiety and denial of having a child who will graduate next spring, I am still struggling with the mindset that I am shooting our own child’s Senior Portraits. We travel every year with our best friends and their children and every vacation gets better and better. This year the eight of us traveled to San Francisco, CA, Lake Tahoe [California side - although Nevada was directly across the street] and Sedona, AZ. Spectacular vistas and numerous great opportunities for photographs were constant. At times we felt a little guilty [not really] stopping the boys for photo ops. By the time we got to the airport to head home, we were making jokes about stopping for a few last photos. Not to leave out our other boys (four boys – two from each family in all) we got some real stunning shots of them too. It just goes to show that photos are so important! They help us re-live moments and take us to memories we hold dear in our hearts. This trip was definitely photographed plenty and I am so thankful! A big shout-out to our friends the Hensleys for once again helping us create awesome family memories not only for us, but for our children as well. Enjoy a few of the Senior Portraits we shot while on our trip!
What an extraordinary afternoon! We were honored to be able to shoot photos for Rev. Marvin Taylor’s retirement party as Pastor of the Chapel Hill Wesleyan Church in Weirton, WV. It was obvious how much his parishioners love him and his sweet wife, Katheryn.

Sincere thanks to Pastor Taylor’s family

Simonton Court (Key West, FL) turned out to be such a fabulous stay for us we booked our next visit before we checked out! Know anyone getting married in Key West in November? Send us a message – we may just have a fabulous deal for them
Here are a few more photos!
Now that is some beautiful Key West lodging. I sure wouldn’t mind staying there for my honeymoon (provided the hubby doesn’t mind). I have actually always want to visit Florida, so maybe I’ll do that on my own after I graduate. Are there places like this near the ocean? I really want to visit the beach while I’m there, and maybe go running on the sand.
We’ve been coming to Key West 2-3 times per year for over 12 years now. We love it here! As you can imagine, we’ve stayed everywhere preferring the B&B experience as opposed to a hotel. We haven’t stayed in one we don’t like yet! However, worth a big mention, is where we are now; Simonton Court. We have walked through the property many times and marveled at the beauty as we were totally wrapped in tropical splendor. We knew we HAD to stay here. Upon our check in, we were greeted by Will. We definitely have to say, the staff here is incredible. Will and Ben were so helpful and all the employees are so nice – you truly feel like they love working here as much as we enjoy staying. Since I’m predominantly a wedding photographer, I have to mention that this little gem of a property would be a fabulous place for a small wedding. Coupled with the incredible staff and awesome property, it would create very special wedding memories.
Here are some photos – more coming!
