Wonderful Night

No Wedding tonight for the first time in a while. Yesterday afternoon a young lady from way over in Western Alabama drove over to the shop for her Bridal Portrait Photo Session. Lets just say that it was not the best day for that. An hour and a half before we were supposed to start shooting she calls from the other side of Birmingham to say that they were running over an hour late.

The "Other Side of Birmingham" to most Georgians is like saying 1950. If you want to go back in time, you just go to The Other Side of Birmingham. I think that folks in Alabama say something similar about Georgia and they probably have a right to because they scored way higher on SAT scores than many Georgians did last year, but hey, we beat South Carolina !

ANYWAY, 10 min before she and her mom got to the shop it was raining and sleet was falling at times. The wind was blowing and she was in a strapless dress in 45 degree weather. But what a TROOPER. She hauled that dress all around our silly little town and met most of the population while being photographed.

We went over to Hazlehurst House and shot a few photos as well as in the alley behind my studio. I also did some in studio stuff that is quite rare for me. The theme for her wedding is white on white. White dress, flowers, decor ect. So we shot some all white stuff on a white background in my studio. I would have some of it ready to show you right now but I lost my glasses while on the shoot and I really do not like to work on the computer editing photos without my glasses so I only have these two photos to show you.

The other two photos are from tonight. My favorite band "Rough Draft" was playing my favorite place to eat "Fatt Matt's Rib Shack" in Atlanta so the kids and I went to the show.

I have been taking my kids Marah and Garen to Fatt Matt's since they were ages 2 and 4. They are now 18 and 20 and they have watched Rough Draft with me the whole time. We got older and so did the band, But tonight was the best 3 set show we have ever seen from them. They have not played together for a full year and tonight was the first time they have even seen each other. They walked in , plugged up and flat tore the house down.

Photos are of the photo shoot yesterday and Marah and Garen and Fatt Matt's my step son Chris was also there and we all had a great time.
