Jayson & Katie's Wedding Day

Well, the weather outside looked frightful at the start but as you can see above-we ended up with an absolutely beautiful day! Everything went wonderfully thanks to a group of hard working folks. The Mackey's (owners of the fine home where the wedding took place www.mackeyhouse.com ), Dolores, wedding coordinator-extraordinare and Ray Williams, DJ, made everything go so smoothly and truly gave Katie & Jayson a storybook wedding. If you are getting married in Savannah, definitely look these folks up-I would love to work with professionals like this for every wedding! Jayson and Katie are a beautiful couple and wow, do we have an editing job ahead of us! I had the privilege of photographing a LARGE group of Army Rangers-many of which just returned from Iraq. The above photo is my absolute hands down favorite of the day. More to come! Check back for a slideshow Monday or Tuesday.

Savannah Smiles

We arrived in Savannah yesterday afternoon-took a little longer than anticipated. There was a tragic wreck on I-95(had my poor mom worried because it was on FOX news and she knew we were on I-95) I believe 3 people were killed, just horrible-like 7 tractor trailers and a van involved. Tied up the interstate for 14 hours. Luckily, I was with the king of the backroad-Backroads Bill, and he found a way around it all and we lost just an hour. We got here in plenty of time for the rehearsal. Mackey house is absolutely Gorgeous and the owners are such nice people.

We later went to eat at The River House down by the, of course, river. Our waitress was truly a icon of southern hospitality. It is very Old South (in the good way with the people very hospitable and polite) -she called us "Baby" and "Babies". It was so cool. The food was delicious-filet mignon that melted in your mouth. I Hope we can return when we can enjoy Savannah more. Amanda, sadly we will probably not get to Lady & Sons this quick trip.

We snapped a quick shot of Katie and Jayson(below) last night for the signature mat since Jayson just returned from Iraq 3 weeks ago! What a beautiful couple!!


We are off to photograph their wedding-everyone pray for some sun to come out-it is not raining-thank goodness but is very angry looking!
