I had a great saturday afternoon at Castle on the Lake in Jacksonville with Julia & Robert.  Here are a few of my favorite images.

This is part of a new ceremony area that the are putting in.  It should be done in the next few weeks, but I didn’t want to wait to start shooting there. :)

Sometimes brides get hot in East Texas outside in August.

Thank you two for a great night.  I’ll have an album design heading your way soon. :)

I love when couples choose to have sparklers for their get-a-way.  They are fun, they add light, and they give the whole day a sense of crazy love story movie ending.

My tip to you… If you are using sparklers, don’t skimp on them.  Get the longer ones.  The short ones burn out way to quick.  Sometimes before you even get to them.  Also, make sure your guest wait to light them till you are standing there ready to exit.  If not, you’ll end up running though a thick cloud of smoke. :)

I love these rewind posts.  It’s amazing to me that these images happened a year ago.  Many of them are still fresh in my mind and I feel like I took them 3 months ago.

Happy 1 year to Lindsey & Justin, Mindy & Dustin, and Davi & Jonathan.

I started doing this last month and got a good little response so I think a tradition has been born.  It’s time to jump back to May of 2009 and take a look at some of my favorite images from the month.  It’s crazy for me to think that I shot these frames last year, some of them only feel like I took them 3 months ago.

:) Past couples, this is your chance to leave a nice comment about me and how much fun I was to work with. :)

If you are still considering a venue for your wedding then you are going to love today’s post.  Here are some of my favorite venues in the area.  They are all slightly unique.  Some have things that others don’t and I’m pretty sure that if you take a look at each of these you’ll end up having a hard time deciding on just one. :)  Anyway, here are a few photos with links to recent weddings as well as contact info for each of them.  Happy Friday.
