Over two years ago, I photographed Brian and Alexandra’s wedding. Fast forward to today, I’m photographing their loving baby girl, Savannah. Below is a few highlights from the session. To see the full gallery, (click here).

I’m told Savannah is wearing the same beautiful dress that Alexandra wore when she was a baby coming home from the hospital.

Every so often, we try to make it out to a nice dinner. With my parents in town, we took the opportunity to go to Canoe. Everything was great, but I must say, the service was the best. Here’s a few pictures of the awesome meal we had. Unfortunately, I can’t really remember the exact names of each dish.

We first had some soup that was cold. I have to admit, I’m not into cold soups! So the waitress swapped it out for a warm pistachio soup below. The warmth was great, but the soup also tasted very unique and we enjoyed it immensely.

Here’s an awesome pork dish served two ways. I can’t describe which ways are the two ways, but they’re good.

And, the peppercorn New York strip. Again, very tasty!

And the highlight of the night, a strawberry cobbler. It may have been the first time I’ve had a cobbler that’s strawberry, but it was amazing.

And a quick shot behind the restaurant from the Chattahoochee River.

I previously blogged about Beth and Doug’s wedding in Suches, Georgia. Here’s some more highlights of the wedding followed by the link to the full gallery at the bottom.

One of the most familiar statements I heard throughout the entire day was “you have Fat Tire?!” I’m not much of a beer drinker enough to appreciate what the big deal Fat Tire was to everyone. But it sure put a smile to each person when they realized Fat Tire was in the house.

Here’s Beth in the morning preparing for the wedding with the help of her family. She was calm and collected. Well, knowing her for years, it’s not uncommon.

At Lake Winfield Scott, Beth and Doug had their ceremony. It was a beautiful afternoon as the lake provided for a scenic backdrop with a fresh mountain lake breeze.

And here’s the newlyweds shortly after the ceremony.

In the earlier post, I showed their wedding rings. Doug’s ring is apparently made with carbon-fiber or some high-tech bike technology. Sorry, I’m not up to speed with the latest greatest bike technology as mine was bought over a decade ago. Nevertheless, his ring was pretty darn amazing, perhaps even super light. I guess that’s when he took it off to show one of the guests. Without being there when it happened, the ring must have floated off his hand and landed on the deck, falling into the cracks. I came shortly after this happened to see him try to fish up the ring.

With determination, he was able to retrieve it before the crowbars were needed.

Beth and Doug didn’t have just one wedding cake, they had seven cakes; chocolate six ways and a delicious carrot cake.

I had to photograph this girl as she seemed to be able to best express what a lovely day it was in the North Georgia mountains.

And lastly, a view of the two of them in their back yard as the sun slowly sets over the mountain top.

Just returned from Beth and Doug’s beautiful wedding in Suches, Georgia. I had the time to go through some of the pictures today and picked just a few for Beth and Doug to preview.

Here’s just a taste of the view we all enjoyed during the wedding day.

There’s a story that I’ll have to describe in more detail about Doug’s ring. But that will have to wait for a later date.

I’ll post more photos soon.

My parents were in town and they like to see the Georgia Mountains. So, we decided to grab the entire family and drive up a bit to Vogel State Park. They have lots of nice hiking trails, but we decided to take it safe and hiked to the nearby water fall. Here’s a few shots of the short trip to Vogel State Park.

Over a year ago, I photographed Katie on her way to Homecoming. And shortly after, it was time for her junior prom. This time, she’s going to her senior prom. Soon, she’ll graduate from high school in a few weeks and go to college. We’ll miss having her around and it’s not just because she’s our kids’ babysitter.

Here are a few photos of Katie. A full photo gallery is linked (click here).

“Don’t talk to him, don’t look at him.” That’s what Tyler’s dad told me as they got out of the car. It didn’t help that he just woke up. But Tyler’s shyness was well communicated. Fortunately, I got the secret weapon to ease Tyler. It’s a room full of toys and kids his age. So when it came time to photograph him, we brought out the ultimate skyness-killer, the “ball.”

Below are a few highlights, but click here to see the full gallery.

The Sawnee Ballet Theatre is at it once again. This time, it’s their spring performance: The Swan Princess.

Below are links to full photo galleries of the performances.

March 21st performance gallery

If you would like to order prints, the online cart is available for ordering. However, these are two separate galleries so if you order prints from both galleries, you would have to place an order in each gallery separately. If you place a multiple gallery order in the same day, you can choose only one shipping fee and I will combine them together.

Here are some highlights of the performances.

Their first production is The Swan Princess.

Then, “You’ve Got to be Sincere” From “Bye Bye Birdie”

“Dainty June & Her News Boys” from “Gypsy”

“Marian the Librarian” from “The Music Man”

And finally, “One” from “A Chorus Line”

Also, see my other posts about the Sawnee Ballet Theatre. The Nutcracker and its dress rehearsal. And finally, the headshots of the company.
