Are you ready for some Tuesday “eye candy”? When I mention that we’ve been busy shooting I wasn’t lying! There have been a slew of creative sessions with everything from newborns to interior design firms! Here’s our first attempt at playing catch up- much more will come later including the last few summer weddings!!!

VUE has gotten a face lift! The Dr. said it went incredibly well and the recovery time should be minimal. We think the results are fabulous and feel at least 10 years younger. With the only exception being that our laugh lines have become enormous!
No really- in these smoldering summer months we’ve been hard at work. For over a year now we’ve been wanted to spruce up our web appearance and have finally gotten a chance to complete our plans! First and foremost we had the chance to work with the fabulous folks over at Spilled Milk Designs on our new wedding website. Thanks to their patience and enthusiasm we have storefront that really reflects our quarky style! You can peek at SMP’s blog post to get the skinny of all of the features they included! { http://www.spilledmilkdesigns.com/blog/2010/06/22/showit-custom-build-vue-photography/ }
Another ambitious move was for us to create a family website! We shoot tons of weddings but – yes-sir-e-bob- we shoot tons of families n’ kiddos too! To see a bit more of our handy work tag the link on the blog menu, obviously labled “family website“. Or go to the url: www.vuephotographyfamilies.com !!!!
To finish things off we polished the blog {made it a bit shinier}! Over all we hope you enjoy the “lift”! {we have:}
After having a blast with their engagement session, Stacy and Chris’s wedding was one we were looking forward to!! Not only did we adore the couple but we also were looking forward to shooting at a venue that was new for us, Bentley’s on the Bay. With a precious and infectious couple, a new venue…and pink all around…we were all smiles, regardless of the black clouds that decided to join! By the end of the night, Chris, his mask and snorkel had every one tickled pick and bent over!

Who doesn’t love an sweet, little, old grandma?! Apparently, Genya is so infatuated that she’s demanding us dress up as “old birds” {no longer chicks} on Friday for a “promotional photo shoot. I’m afraid she’s taking this admiration a little too far, hence my grave concern for her mental stability….the chicken has flown the coop!
Megan and Jonny’s wedding may have been where it all began! Megan and Jonny were as sweet as they come, and Megan’s grandma was no different…the apple doesn’t fall from the tree, eh? Still to this day, we giggle as how precious grandma was….and the image where she is being escorted by the sherif. No Grandma was not arrested.
Like I have said before…people from New Orleans know how to have a good time!! Even grandma has her dancing shoes on!

It might be a true fact to state that Florida’s weather is more unpredictable and fickle than a hormonal pregnant woman. Lucky for Jennifer and Chris, their wedding day was covered since everything took place indoors. However, when you come to the Gulf Coast, you can’t leave without a shot on the beach. Thankfully before the wedding we were able to make it down the the beach….which, good grief, the beach had more people on it than during Spring Break! After the wedding, it’s a good thing Genya is quick on her feet {literally and figuratively} and is a sweet talker…or else Chris and Jennifer may not have had the ever coveted shots! We’re just glad no one was arrested on grounds of trespassing!! Jennifer and Chris were all smiles the entire day and thankfully up for gate hopping!

Who doesn’t love a little glitz and glam(…well perhaps aside from the majority of the male population)?!! For those who do, Ashley and Alex’s wedding truly satisfied! The fun little details had us captivated…from the pink birdcage veil, pink diamond ring, the broach and rosette bouquets, the thumb prints of guests, the photobooth with family photo heirlooms, the hilariously entertaining couple’s dance, to even the details on the cake and topper (seriously look at this cake….everything on the cake resembles the wedding day!)…..it was all amazing!! Shelby Peaden and her team were beyond fantastic! Most fun of all…Ashley and Alex’s exuberant and lively personalities!! We seriously went home that evening with smiles on our faces!!

When you were little did you ever play telephone? Maybe it’s because we’re girls- or it’s just one of those sparkling {my husband might disagree} personality traits…but we have a gift for gab. At this point in our lives we’re logged more chatting hours than a operator at a BP-complaint center!
Anyhow- we love to talk and find the old game of telephone quite endearing…hence the use of it during Kate and Will’s engagment session!! The duo humored us as we knocked around 30-A one evening. From bike riding to flower filled piggy back rides- it was refreshing!! Their Rosemary Beach wedding is just around the corner and we can’t wait for round two in September!

Every now and then, there are things that are completely out of your control no matter what….a concept that is hard for me to remember at times! About a month ago, Genya was so sick, she ended up in the ER. While Genya was in the ER, I packed up the gear and headed out to 30A for Sally and Raley’s engagement session. Unpredictable times such as these, make us very thankful there are 2 of us!!
Even though it wasn’t the same without Genya, Sally, Raley and I had a fun time amongst the tea cups, bicycles, and cupcakes! One thing we clearly could have done without was the heat and bugs that seriously left welts on my arms and legs for weeks….those are the 2 major issues I have with the South!
As quickly as time is flying by, Sally and Raley’s wedding in Montgomery this coming March is around the corner and we can’t wait!

After a month of traveling for weddings, we are finally settling back in…with a major to-do list hovering over us!! Living overseas instilled in me a love for travel and an excitement to discover new places…however, I can only live out of a suitcase for a short amount of time before becoming completely disoriented!
In May (yes, I told you that to-do list was long), we had the absolute pleasure of venturing to Apalachicola for a wedding that seemed more like a family members than a client’s! From the moment Paula (mom) and Suzanne (bride) booked us, getting to know them, their family and friends is something we have truly cherished! Due to Paula’s sweet words and unending raves, you might actually recognize more than a few familiar faces (Allison and Lucy)!
Even though Apalachicola is only an hour from where we live, for some reason neither of us had ever been there. We had a blast tromping around the town everywhere from old brightly colored walls to park swings! Saying we fell in love with the quaint little beach town, would probably be a grave understatement! Putting together this post had me thinking I need to talk a little vaca here soon!
If my little boy, Brayden {Genya’s little girl Mia, like to tell everyone “his name is baby B, but we call him Brayden sometimes}, had been at Betsy and Justin’s Carillon Wedding…there is no doubt he would have gone nuts! Bubbles, paint, shakers, and glow rings are a sure way to captive any child…..and a quick way to get a party started with adults! As the guests arrived, they were greeted with a giant canvas, paint, and brushes…all for them to leave their mark which would later be hung in Betsy and Justin’s home!! With The Fabulous Expressions keepin’ everyone’s feet on the dance floor, the couple made sure the guests kept their hands full of music shakers and glow rings! No sparklers or flower petals for this couple…it was bubbles galore! Yes, I’m confident little B would have had mini heart attached from all the excitement!
With all the bright, and cheery decor from Events by Nouveau Flowers, tasty meringue cake by Confections on the Coast, tasty ethnic food stations by Townsend Catering, and giggling banter with the couple, made for a wonderful night!
….Oh and the fact that my dress ripped clear up the back side also kept things a little interesting….thank goodness for leggings and my shootsac!
