No Pot of Gold...

Keith and I had the pleasure of photographing Natalie Floyd's Bridal Session this evening. The clouds were dark... the thunder was rolling... and the lightning was threatning... but we prayed and God came through. The lighting was pretty perfect and even the entire session and the cool breeze kept what would have been a sweltering evening of 90 degree weather actually pretty nice.

We arrived about ten minutes early to the session, so while we waited... right in front of us appeared the prettiest rainbow. We got a quick shot and no sooner than we captured the photograph... the beautiful rainbow slowly faded. We searched and searched... but alas... found no pot of gold. :(

Weddings...Entertainment? Yes!

Has anyone else noticed that there are a ton of new wedding shows on TV. Of course, everyone knows about Bridezillas and Platinum Weddings, but there are two new shows that are loads of fun! Every bride-to-be should check them out.

The first one is called "Say Yes to the Dress". It is part documentary, part soap opera and totally entertaining. The show follows the day-to-day operations of a premier wedding salon, Kleinfeld Bridal. It's kind of therapeutic to watch, because its nice to see that everyone goes through the stress of picking a dress out. "Say Yes to the Dress" follows brides and the employees at Kleinfeld Bridal as they work to find the perfect dress. You get to see the interaction between the brides and their families, too.

The second one is called "Rock the Reception". On this show, two choreographers teach a bride and groom an awesome dance routine to do as an alternative to a traditional first dance. The choreographers are Tabatha and Napoleon, who have choreographed for Missy Elliott, Beyonce and Timbaland. They work with the couple (and usually the Maid of Honor and Best Man) to create a very fun and unique routine for a memorable first dance.

Both shows come on TLC on Tuesday nights starting at 8 p.m. I suggest them to anyone who is getting married...or, is married for that matter!

Weddings of Georgia July Wedding Extravaganza

We were a part of the WeddingsofGeorgia.com July Wedding Extravaganza yesterday at the Columbus Convention and Trade Center. As always, it was a fantastic show with lots of awesome vendors showing off the great products and services they offer.

The JE Hedges booth was bigger and better than ever and we handed out our new stadium cups... which were a big hit! Hey... if you got one, be sure to hold on to it... it's sure to be a collector's item and will fetch a ton on Ebay! Ha!

Between the three of us (Julie, Keith, and Celeste), we met over 75 excited brides. We love the fact that brides are planning so far in advance too. Planning a wedding is no small feat and brides are starting early so they can lock in with the vendors of their choice.

The show was very exciting and non-stop from the minute the doors opened until the fashion show! We look forward to meeting with many of you again soon to discuss the details of your wedding day.

If you're stopping by our site because you met us at the show, be sure to comment and let us know your favorite part of the show. We love to make new friends!
