Our new blog site is up and running!!! Please visit us at our new blog home at http://www.ourweddingmoments.com/blog for all the exciting happenings of 2009!!!
Happy New Year to all of you! We want to thank all of our clients, family, and friends that have supported us throughout the year, as all this that we love so much would not be possible without you!

The holiday season was so busy, we hardly had a chance to wish you all a happy holiday. I feel like such a blog slacker! But it was great getting to visit with family and friends, as things were a little different for us this year and involved a bit of traveling. We hope your celebrations were great!

Now with all the festivities behind us, we are ready to rock in 2009! In the coming weeks we will be bringing up a new face to our blogs. Last year we split the portraits into their own space http://www.pinstripes-polkadots.blogspot.com/ to help our clients find stuff easier. We will keep the blogs separate, but make them a little easier to get from one to the other, as well as a whole new look.

We are also revamping our weddings and portraits websites. All new favorites from 2008 will be added as well as a revamp of some of the sections. It seems like we never get to this during the year as we are so busy making sure we take care of our clients.

We are almost 50% booked for 2009 already! We tend to fall in love with our couples, and whether big or small, all our weddings are awesome! We cant wait for our weddings coming up in 2009, and we would love to capture your wedding for you too! If you are considering contacting us about our wedding photography services, please do not wait too long! Even in this sluggish economy, the brides are booking and moving ahead with their wedding plans!

We will be rolling out some new offerings in 2009, so stay tuned for more info on those in the coming weeks!

It seems like some days that the world is unsure of what 2009 will bring. Whatever it brings, I can tell you that we are ready to rock in 2009! Come along and rock with us!
When we first met with Heather and Kevin a few months ago about their upcoming April wedding, we knew that they were a very fun couple! As they put it, "we are just a couple of cut ups"!

This past Sunday, we shot their engagement session, and we really got to see just how much of a fun and loving couple they really are!

We started out at Piedmont Park in the late afternoon for some fun shots. It did not take Heather and Kevin long to get into the swing of things, as we followed them about the park.

We found some beautiful sun rays on the stone steps by the tennis courts and found that flare!




Then we ventured to the other side of the parking lot to a secluded area called the "Reading Circle". Seems reading was not on their minds...



Over at the pond we found some ducks and a chance to get playful!







There was this great tree in the park and with a boost from Kevin, Heather tries to pose gracefully on the large branch. It was short lived as we found out that we could photograph the tree but not climb on it.




After a couple of hours at the park, we took a break and enjoyed dinner together at Qdoba. It was fun to get to know each other better. After dinner Heather & Kevin changed into 'party clothes' and we headed Downtown for some sunset shots. This turned out to be a great time to shoot and we got some awesome images for them.













All in all it was a great shoot and there were LOTS of great images, so as usual more of our favorites have been included in the slideshow! (click the image to start the show!)




Heather & Kevin we had such a fun time with the two of you and look forward to your wedding in April, though we have to get together again sooner than that :) I hope you enjoy your images!!!
We met up with our dear friend Crystal and her fiance Jonathan at the Roswell Mill for their engagement session. It was almost two years ago that we first met Crystal when we made a trip to Savannah to do Trash The Dress sessions in the fountains and streets of Savannah and at the Beach at Tybee Island. Since then, Crystal met Jonathan, the love of her life! Its always a priviledge to photograph for another photographer, and we are so happy to be able to do some engagement photographs for them!



Inside the covered bridge









There was a tree with just the perfect initials carved in it, making for a great shot.



We decided to head down the street for a few more shots at the Big Trees Nature Preserve. The leaves have not really started turning, but the sun filtering through the trees gave us a fun atmosphere.



Jonathan is a musician and brought his guitar and serenaded his beautiful wife to be (and us too!) . We have been spicing up our sessions lately by having the couple bring along something that shows their personality or means something to them. As we wondered the trails, Jonathan was picking and singing as we went and having a lot of fun!











Crystal brought along a prop of her own and it made for a GREAT series of shots!











Crystal and Jonathan, it was great to see you today and it was so beautiful outside! We cant wait for your wedding next week, and as simple as you say it will be, we know that the love that you share will shine and your wedding day will be beautiful!

Well, we told you Jonathan was a musician. He wrote this song for Crystal and they went to Memphis to record it at Sam Philips Sun Studio! Here is their slideshow using Jonathans song for Crystal! We hope you enjoy the slideshow!

I always love when new stuff comes in! Our delivery this week contains two great new offerings we have for our clients. The first is the new Modern Book, a blend of both a traditional wedding album and a coffee table book. This album features nice heavy heirloom quality lay-flat pages in a flush mount digital page layout. The second goodie of the day is our new lay-flat page guest sign-in book. Utilizing stiff lay-flat pages, these are sure to be a hit both in durability and beauty for our couples. Here are some pictures of these great new products!

This is a picture of both, the sign-in book is in the foreground and the Modern Book album in the background (click pictures for a larger view).



This is the lay-flat guest book.













The new Modern Book!






We are excited to offer these new products to you! We are always evaluating new products to bring you the best quality at the best prices so that you have choices that match your personality and desires.
