Last Saturday we had an awesome day photographing the wedding of Lourdes and Patrick! The beautiful afternoon wedding was held at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Marietta, GA. We know that Lourdes and Partick would love to see the images so here's a sneak peek at the highlights of the wedding. (click pictures for a larger view)

It was a beautiful and sunny January day, and we caught up with the bride as she arrived at the church to finish some last minute details and begin getting ready for the ceremony.

Lourdes carried a boquet of white roses and orchids made by Julieann's Rose Garden that was just gorgeous.



This beautiful flower arangement contained favorite flowers of family members that had passed away.



Lourdes hurt her finger a few days before the ceremony and had a "stand in" band just in case her beautiful rings would not go on her finger. (We hope it was not broken and taking off the tape did not make it worse)



These chocolate mice from Puri's Bakery were way too adorable, and very tasty! They were packaged nestled in iridescent shreds in little white boxes for the guests to take with them. (We had to bring some back to Emma, they were so cute!)



Lourdes was such a beautiful bride, I just love this shot of her getting ready.

Alex, getting ready. Lourdes reminded him that this is practice for his upcoming wedding!



More getting ready shots...





Lourdes was escorted down the isle by two of her sons, Alex & Quinin while her other son, Goyo was an alter server for the ceremony.





A quiet moment during the mass



A very close friend of the couple played a sax solo during the ceremony.






Lourdes and Patrick said their vows with Lourdes' sons standing with them.



A blessing by Rev. Paul W. Berny



The KISS! (We had many of these moments during the evening as they are so in love!)







Off to the party!






Lourdes and her sons





We snuck the bride and groom away from the reception for a few intimate shots outside the church. The rectory is a beautiful old home so we took advantage of the scenery.






For their first dance, their good friend, Dr. Saunders Jones, Jr played the sax for them.







They had a beautiful cake from Best Dang Bakery Around, topped with a vintage looking topper.





Though they were "dainty" with the cake they had fun anyway!





Another one of those kisses!



Son, Goyo toasted the couple



It brought tears to Lourdes' eyes



Lourdes had a special song to dance to with each of her sons



She danced to "Butterfly Kisses" with Quinin and tears needed to be wiped away.







Now, talk about energy! Lourdes and Patrick closed out the evening dancing to their hearts content.











We had such fun with Lourdes and Patrick and their families and hope you enjoyed this preview. The rest of the images will be up in the gallery soon!

I met Jackson and his mom, Dee, at Elyse's Birthday Party last year.  It was fun photographing his birthday and meeting his family and friends.  He has amazingly blue eyes and a bright smile which he kept me on my toes trying to capture.  Here's one of my favorite images of him as he was crawling into his play house.

The "smash cake" lived up to it's name as he dug into it and ENJOYED!

Happy New Year to All of You! We would like to thank all of our clients, friends, and family for supporting our efforts with an outstanding 2007! We feel really blessed by all the awesome people we met and all the new friendships we made this past year! And on top of it all, we really had a blast doing what we love - capturing your moments for you to enjoy for a lifetime!

With the start of 2008, we are unveiling our new website! We were experiencing some issues with our old website with the different internet browsers, so we have decided to unleash all new flash sites from our web partners at http://www.portfoliositez.com/ and man do they rock! We have split our wedding and portraits into two separate sites, either of which can be accessed from our splash page at http://www.inthemomentphotographs.com/ (our old site is now down, so http://www.mcwarrenphoto.com/ now links to the new site as well).

We are still in the process of adding new images to our galleries, but all information is current, so check them out!



We have restructured our wedding pricing and package offerings to bring you all day wedding coverage so that we can best cover your event. Our new pricing allows us to offer high quality hand made albums from Leather Craftsman, KISS, and Willowbook at reasonable prices. We are continuing to offer our a'la carte pricing so that you can build your own wedding package. All album packages include your hi-resolution digital files for your own personal use! We are also offering canvas gallery wraps in a number of sizes as well as other fine products. Contact us for details!



We have also made some changes to the portrait packages that we offer. Now all of our portrait sessions include a custom designed coffee table book featuring 25 of your favorite images from the session in addition to the on-line slideshow and proofing gallery. All of our special multi-session packages now include a custom designed storybook album!

Once again, thank you all for your support and friendships! None of this would be possible without those!

Mike & Cat
