WeddingWire Brides Choice Award!
by Mike
We woke up this morning and found the following in our email and just had to share it with you!
WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, just announced that In The Moment Photographs has won the 2009 Bride’s Choice Awards™!
In its inaugural year, the Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and honors vendors from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility. This year’s recipients represent the top three percent of WeddingWire’s vendor community, which includes over 100,000 wedding vendors from across the US. That means In The Moment Photographs is one of the very best in Wedding Photography.
Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride’s Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds through surveys and reviews.
“We are excited to launch this annual award program to honor high-performing vendors based solely on the experiences of our WeddingWire community,” according to Timothy Chi, WeddingWire’s Chief Executive Officer. “This year’s recipients have set the bar high, exhibiting excellent service and expertise in the wedding industry.”
Catherine and I would like to thank our past clients for speaking on our behalf and helping us win the 2009 Bride’s Choice Award!!!
Ready To Rock In 2009!
by Mike
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!

Saturday, our good friends Crystal and Jonathan tied the knot in a simple, outdoor ceremony in Carrolton. Having contemplated just running off somewhere exotic and getting married, we are glad they decided to stay close to home with a few family members. This gave us the chance to capture a few images for them before they headed off for Charleston for their honeymoon.
Friday it was raining cats and dogs, and we were wondering how Saturday might be. But as it turned out, it was a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding! After dirving around the block numerous times, we finally find the little park where the ceremony will be held. We must have passed this park 5 times and did not realize it! Once we caught up with the couple putting on the final touches for the ceremony.
Once the park was decorated, we took Crystal and Jonathan on a short photoshoot starting out on the town square.
This next shot was taken in this great alleyway. Jonathan informed us that this alleyway used to be a building, and in fact it was a barber shop where he used to get his hair cut as a kid. I think they are standing where the barber chair used to be!
When we first got into town, we did some scouting and found this old abandoned caboose sitting on a railway track. When we got inside, we all went WOW at the light coming into this trashed out caboose! (Crystal, can't wait to come back and shoot in it again soon!)
Totally in Love!!!
Almost ceremony time, Crystal freshens up a bit sitting on the park bench!
I think at this point everyone had just about arrived, and Crystal was ready to get things rolling 20 minutes early!

Here was the first guest to the wedding! He followed us around and even tried to climb in Cat's camera bag and come home with us.

Finally the moment arrived, and you could see the emotion on their faces as they said their vows.
Jonathan's sons were in charge of the rings and 'delivered' them on cue
She was all giddy just before the kiss! I know she was so excited to finally be Jonathan's wife.
on the way "out" Jonathan's mom pelted them with rice she brought along for the occasion.
Jonathan had fun getting his picture taken with the girls... first with Crystal and her mom
then with Crystal and his mom
The new family... Crystal, Jonathan and his boys
Stolen moments... yes we are there even when you don't think we are... stealthy are we...
Instead of a guest book, they had their favorite image from their engagement session matted for their guests to sign, it was a perfect setting to show off their rings. I love what Jonathan's son wrote on it!
Crystal & Jonathan, we hope this ties you over till the rest of the editing is complete. We can't wait to show you the rest so we will have to plan to meet for mexican very soon!
Jena and DJ's Wedding Preview
by Mike
A few weeks ago we received a message from Jena's mom looking for wedding photography for her daughter's upcoming wedding. When we met with Jena and her mom, we knew we were in for a treat with a beautiful outdoor September wedding ceremony with a family and friends that sounded like they were going to have a lot of fun. And this definitely turned out to be the case!
The wedding was being held in a rustic outdoor setting at the Hightower Falls Events Facility nestled in the hills in the Cedartown area. This turned out to be a great place that definitely matched the beauty and bubbling personalities of this beautiful bride and her handsom groom.

We started out the wedding day with an early appointment at J. Tanner Salon & Spa in Cartersville with Jena, her mom, and the girls.
Once we were done at the salon, we all headed towards Hightower Falls for final preparations before the ceremony. The facility contains the ruins of a 200 year old grist mill and the beautiful cascading falls coming down the side of the mountain.
Once we arrived at the facility, Jena and the girls took over the cottage for final preparations while DJ and the guys were hidden away on the other side of the property in the rustic cabins. Jena's dress was beautiful and was perfect for this gorgeous bride!
the handsome DJ waits for his bride to appear!
After the pictures, it was time to head to the reception, food and of course dancing. There were some tender moments and some fun ones during the first dance.

While getting ready, Jena & DJ's little daughter entertained us as she found lots of things to play with...
Mom had to sneak in a kiss before getting her makeup done
Once dressed, she needed to get some shoes to go with the pretty dress, I'm not sure which of the ladies they really belonged to
As the ceremony drew close, Jena donned her beautiful dress and prepared to meet DJ for their vows by the waterfall.

Just before the ceremony began, daddy was spotted....

Jena & DJ said their vows outside next to a waterfall, it was a beautiful spot for the ceremony.
The bridesmaids had red dresses and their flowers really were a beautiful collection of reds, orange, yellow and greens.
I love this 'exit' shot from the ceremony, they could not stop smiling!
During the formals, we had a small helper with her camera, I wonder how these turned out?

at one point, it became a first "family" dance
Jena and her dad at the end of the Father/Daughter dance
Jena and DJ are popular with their family and friends, as the cameras came out for the cake cutting!
The cake topper was the perfect setting for a ring shot! Lots of bling...
After some food and drink, it was time for more dancing. I'm not sure who was having more fun
Jena and DJ, we had a great time at your wedding and we apprecieate you including us in your special day! We wish you both the best and hope you will enjoy this brief preview of your wedding day while we finish up your wedding day gallery!
