- Decatur, Alabama Wedding Photographer - Huntsville, Alabama Wedding Photographer - Alabama Wedding Photographer
Heather, like Anna and I, treats her dogs like children. We can completely relate. As I type this my “son” is laying in the corner of the living room sulking because I ate a biscuit and didn’t give him any.
This is Beau….
…and this is Bear.
This next photo makes me laugh every time I look at it. It’s not a perfect photo of the pups but it is a pretty good representation of their personalities.
Here is one where they both decided they’d pose.
Big congratulations go out today to my friends Jonathan and Megan! Right this very moment (if you are reading this on Saturday night) they are getting married! I had the pleasure of shooting some engagement photos of these guys a few months ago. Jonathan is a great guy and a fellow photographer. He also looks about 20 years younger than he actually is….it truly is some sort of miracle of science.
Congratulations again!

Last October I decided to go to The Celebration Arena in Priceville, Alabama with Anna as she had to work a shift while volunteering with the local Junior League chapter at the 20th Annual Alabama Charity Championship Horse Show. During my time as a photographer at The Decatur Daily I had many assignments at this horse arena. The majority of the time I was working on a tight deadline and never really had the opportunity to spend time exploring the many portrait opportunities that event presents. So instead of sitting at home while Anna worked I forced myself to go and take pictures simply for the sake of taking pictures. Since I am a full time photographer I do have to force myself sometimes. It’s sad but true. I’m almost always glad that I did. That night was no exception.
Amy from Penny Lane Farm was extremely kind and gave me several minutes of her time as she prepared to show her horse during this saddlebred show. This first image was my prize for putting in the effort to go shoot. I love this photo.
The clothes that the riders wear are formal and unique. I could probably shoot an entire portrait series just showcasing the fashion. Note to self….
Debbie with Blue Grass Farm was my next subject. She and her little Jack Russell were a lot of fun to photograph and she was so patient with me as I freaked out over all the photo possibilities I saw in their stall area. I didn’t meet a lot of folks that night but if these two ladies are any indication….I’d say horse people are good people.

Beautiful. The light is magical in and around the barn. Great subjects and I loved your comments.March 1, 2011 – 9:11 AM
Thank you Deb!March 2, 2011 – 10:03 PM
Sometimes I decide that someone needs to have their photo made. I may showcase those images on this blog from time to time. If for no other reason than to tell their story…even if it’s a painfully brief version.
This is Harry Hames….
Harry has chosen to dedicate a huge percentage of his time to helping the people of Haiti recover from the earthquake that struck early in 2010.
I’m not going to try and write an article on him as I know it would be inadequate. Here is a link to a local story about the work Harry does there if you want more details.
If you know Harry tell him thank you for the work he does. If you don’t know Harry look around you and find someone who does dangerous, thankless work all in the name of helping others and tell them thank you.

Jessica and Hunter got married last September on another one of those days that I attempted to take credit for….it was beautiful!
This was the sign that greeted everyone as they entered the farm where the wedding took place.
The bride and groom are in both in a band so they had a guitar at their sign in table for all the guest to sign instead of a guest book. That’s a really cool idea that I wish I would have thought of when Anna and I got married. I couldn’t tell you where our guest book is right now.
I like this next photo because of Hunter’s senior portrait looking at her on the right. It’s like one of those paintings on Scooby Doo that follow you when you walk around the room. I’m pretty sure this house wasn’t haunted though.
They chose to see each other before the ceremony…here is Hunter getting his first look at Jessica in her dress.
….here is Cosby’s view….

The next two images are by Gary Cosby Jr.
The ceremony and reception location was at the home of Hunter’s grandparents. It was a perfect place for both!
This next one was one of my favorite images from all of 2010.
