September 5, 2014FEATURED ENGAGEMENTWes RobertsComment

To say we love what we do would be an understatement. We get to share in one of the most exciting journeys that two people can embark on. What makes our job even better is when we get to photograph weddings more than one of the siblings! A few years ago we were blessed to shoot Erin and Jared’s wedding in Brundidge, Alabama. This year…we will shoot Erin’s younger sister Kristen and her fiance, Taylor’s wedding. We had a blast shooting Kristen and Taylor’s engagement session in downtown Montgomery, Alabama. We can’t wait for the wedding day! Enjoy a peek into their fun session!

Recently, Hannah and Jerry’s wedding photos were published on the blog. We also had the privilege of working with Hannah shooting her Bridal Session! During her shoot, we were able to shoot at the church she grew up in! Being able to shoot at her church provided beautiful pictures and is a special place to Hannah with so many memories! We loved the way that the light streamed through the windows. Another location we visited during the session was The Barn at Pisgah Hill in Grady, Alabama.

We had the honor of heading to Destin, Florida last weekend to be a part of Heather and Tony’s big day. Since the wedding festivities were taking place at the Emerald Grande Hotel, we decided we would take full advantage of this awesome venue and spend the weekend there as well. The weather was beautiful and made for a gorgeous wedding day! Heather was a beautiful bride in her fitted wedding gown. My favorite touch was the beaded and lace cap sleeves on her dress. Heather’s something blue was her initials and wedding date sown into the inside of her dress. The bridesmaids dresses were a deep purple and complemented the bride. The flowers also had touches of deep purple. The groom sported a clean, sleek grey suit. Once the ceremony was complete, guests enjoyed cocktail hour and an elegant reception in the Emerald Grande Ballroom. Guests enjoyed delicious food and cake as they celebrated the newlyweds. We have enjoyed getting to know Heather and Tony! We pray that their marriage is a blessing and is blessed! Thanks again Heather and Tony for allowing us to be a part of your day!

Blessings, Meagan

Lizzie and Luke {Featured Wedding} Columbus, GA Wedding Photographers

When we first spoke with Lizzie and her mother, we knew immediately that we would love this bride and her family. A family firmly rooted in their faith, we fell in love with them because of their love for our Lord and Savior! Wes had a blast working with Lizzie and Luke from their engagement session to their wedding day. The wedding day was picture perfect. Lizzie was all smiles in her gorgeous lace wedding dress adorned with a beautiful rhinestone belt. The bridesmaids wore the dress of their choice in a soft pink. One of my favorite touches...the groomsmen's boutonnieres included succulents! Lizzie and Luke exchanged vows at the beautiful, First Baptist Church of Opelika. Once the ceremony was complete, guests made their way to the reception on Auburn University's campus at the Red Barn. Guests enjoyed delicious food and cake...and danced the night away. Lizzie and Luke left for their honeymoon as guests cheered them on with sparklers.

Thanks again to Lizzie, Luke and their families for allowing us to share in this special time. We were blessed to be there!

Happy Saturday,

Meagan

Stacin and Cole {Featured Wedding} Columbus, GA Wedding Photographers

We love a sweet, simple country wedding. Stacin and Cole celebrated their wedding day with family and friends on a beautiful summer day in Alabama. Stacin chose The Barn at Pisgah Hill as the backdrop for her reception and it did not disappoint. She wore a simple white wedding dress accented with blue sash to match her bridesmaids. She also wore custom cowgirl boots for the reception. LeRae Events blew it out of the water once again, complete with an old Ford truck at the center of the action in the Barn. A southern menu of food including fried chicken and creamed taters was enjoyed by all. Thanks Stacin and Cole for allowing us to be a part of you big day! We hope your marriage is a blessing for years to come!

Blessings, Meagan

Continuing on with the “Life to Space” AI series here are a few of the ordinary moments in the extraordinary. You still have to have coffee. I’m loving the ability to create the imaginable with a “pen to paper” (used very loosely) technology. Ideas just fly into my head and as quickly I’m trying to see what it might look like. Im finding that I’m having to use my photography and art director skills the same for the concept, look and emotional feel to achieve the look I want. Again this is all AI generated by me telling it what I wanted. More to come from this series #AIart #midjourney #space #spaceexploration #thefuture #lifeinspace

I don’t really know what to do with this yet, meaning if it stays on this account or not, but I wanted to share anyway. Watching yesterday’s rocket launch made me think about the possibility of what it’s like to live in space. While it would be extraordinary years down the road to have a completely different lifestyle. Yet in the extraordinary there are the ordinary moments. I wanted to play around with a new technology to see what these extraordinary and ordinary moments might look like together. So, here is a look at life in space brought to us by AI. The emotions of what it’s like to prepare to leave to the actual departure. Could you imagine? #aiart #midjourney #space #spaceexploration #thefuture #lifeinspace To be upfront, everything that you see here was created by artificial intelligence and the platform Midjourney. Most everything you see was typed in as a description to the way that I wanted it. This has to be one of the most amazing and powerful technologies in the art world right now and will possibly change the landscape of art as we know it. I believe the future as a photographer/artist will be finding a way to unite traditional art with this new technology. I don’t believe fighting against it will do any good but learning how to embrace it and evolve will unlock the creativity of our minds in a way that we could never imagine.

Just some of the seniors I’ve been able to photograph over the years. These images tell their story and who they are and were. It’s the power of our stories that allow us to relate and connect. I am so thankful that I’ve been blessed with providing images like these to seniors and parents to cherish and look back on, remembering their senior year. 2024, let’s tell your story!

Here is another fun product shot that is surprising once you see the behind the scene. Sometimes simplifying the shot is the best so that the product is the main focus. The fun part about this is that the checkered background isn’t a backsplash but is the inside cover of one of my son’s nascar books. If you are a small biz owner with products that need some life in your pictures, reach out to me and let’s see how I can help. Btw, what’s your favorite hot sauce? Cholula Hot Sauce

So here is my behind the scenes on my setup for the Perfectly Posh lotion shot. Just as simple as a Pyrex dish, some blue printer paper and lifting the dish to move the water. I’ve always loved the challenge of trying to capture a wide range of subjects. I feel like if I can get the lighting concept down, add the creative touch, and keep the end use of the shot in mind, I’ll be able to photograph whatever my client's needs and be a more well-rounded photographer. Would you have guessed the setup would have looked like this? Wait till you see the next product shot I share and the BTS.

It’s always fun to play around and photograph different things. This came in one of my Meg’s (my wife) order boxes, so i decided to see what I could do with it. Just a fun beachy vibe. Btw, check out @innov8tive_posh, Meg raves about their products. Check back for a behind the scenes shot on the next post, you might be surprised how I photographed this.

I love it when I’m blessed with opportunities to photograph people/families over the years. Tabitha and CW are one of those blessings. Since Tab was in high school I’ve been able to photograph her senior pictures. Then I was able to photograph her and CW’s engagement session and wedding, and now as they are expecting their firstborn. We were able to meet up for some beautiful shots around Callaway and Pine Mountain. I am so excited for them and this next stage of life! Give them a congratulations! Btw, If you haven’t seen the work @callawaygardens has put in on the daffodils and tulips, you really need to check it out! Their hard work has really paid off. #wesphotography #alabamaphotography #georgiaphotography #couplesphotography #maternityshoot
