A bridal session with Lindsey

Now that their wedding has come and gone, I can post a few of her bridal portraits. I met Lindsey and her mother at St. Catherine’s at Bell Gable in Fayetteville on yet another cold day. Seems that so many of the bridal sessions we’ve done this year have been during cold weather. Here are a few of my favorites from the session.

Jeremiah & Lindsey - Hot Springs

One of the funniest thing I’ve found out about Lindsey is her dislike of mice. She and I had an entire conversation about mice, and the possibility of a mouse running around in her house, while chatting on myspace.com. I don’t think she found it to be quite as funny as I did though.

So I spent the night before their wedding in Little Rock at a hotel, and to be honest, I got very little sleep due to the incredible storm that passed through. The lightning was crazy and kind of scary. The following day, however, was beautiful. I arrived at Garvan Gardens the morning of the wedding and it was still rainy, but the weather quickly cleared and we were left with a gorgeous day. Anthony Chapel is similar to three other chapels I’ve shot in numerous times and just as I’d expected, it was set in a very scenic spot. Surrounded by trees, the rock pathway leading to the chapel’s doors, while new, gives you the feeling that you’ve traveled back in time. Or, it could be that I’m a dork. Either way, Jeremiah and Lindsey picked the perfect spot and were blessed with the perfect day for their wedding.

There is truly so much I could write about this wedding, but I’ll not attempt to put into words what I think I can convey in photos.  I will explain one of the photos I’ve included though.  The groom’s cake… Jeremiah is a professional bass fisherman.  I’ve seen all kinds of cool groom’s cakes, but this was the first time I’ve seen one like this.

Thank you to all involved for making me feel so welcomed and Trisha and I both wish you guys the best for your future.

Emily - Senior 2008

Last week, during Spring Break, we photographed Emily, from Yellville / Summit. I worked with Emily’s mom a few years back when I was a paramedic and her mom worked in the local emergency room.

During our session we learned that Emily is joining the US Navy and will be leaving for her basic training shortly after she graduates this year. She and her mom brought along an American flag to be photographed in front of, and when she stood in front of it, you could see the pride come pouring out. So, good luck Emily and stay safe.

Here are five quick picks from our session.

server upgrades / planned outage

Our web hosting company is planning to move to a new data center this weekend, beginning at 12:00 midnight tonight. As a result, most of the photos from on the blog will be missing. Our sites, www.b2portraits.com and www.b2weddings.com should not have any issues due to the move and we hope you’ll take some time to browse through those sites while we’re down.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, as our shopping cart system will also be down during this time, which may last up to 48 hours. Not the best news as far as we’re concerned, but the new data center should give us much more reliable servers for our sites to be hosted on.

Our email may possibly be affected as well, and as such we ask that any emails this weekend be sent to blairweddings@gmail.com.

Thanks for understanding and we’ll be back live on Monday morning… hopefully.

Chris & Lauren, Little Rock

A couple weeks ago I posted two photos from Lauren’s bridal session and wrote that I’d post more when I posted their photos from the reception. Chris and Lauren had a beautiful ceremony in Jamaica with a reception at Next Level Events in Little Rock, AR earlier this month.

This reception was a wonderful way to start out 2008’s wedding season. The energy level at the reception was insane, with lots of dancing and laughter. It was absolutely great.

Here are two more of Lauren’s bridal portraits, followed by some of our favorite photos from the reception.

Kelly, Senior 2008

Kelly and her friend, Chelsea, have been on me about getting these on the blog. So, I’m getting caught up on all the editing I have to do and decided to take a break and catch up on the blog a bit.

I met Kelly earlier this year when she and Chelsea stopped by the studio to sell us advertising space in the Cotter Warrior yearbook. She seemed so quiet then, but after spending the afternoon with her, I found out that she is anything but quiet. Trisha and I absolutely loved our session with her. She’s got an incredible smile and a beautiful serious stare.

Here are a few random selections from her gallery…

Amie, Senior 2008

We took Amie to a location that one would not normally think of for senior portraits and ended up with some amazing stuff. There’s not much that I can write that will better explain our session than simply showing you the photos. Here are five random picks from her gallery.
