A while back I posted an editorial shoot I did for Bride & Bloom Magazine. You can see that feature here: Bride & Bloom. The feature was about Courtney & Brett’s journey in finding the right florist for the look they had in mind for their reception decor. After three different set ups they chose LaVonne at Adorations to fulfill their vision of their big day.
So today I’m happy to be featuring the REAL wedding (and design) based on that preview from December. Big thanks to Kelly Aull at Mint Weddings for all her fabulousness!
Yes, that is a baby Bass in that centerpiece! The whole cocktail theme centered around Brett’s love for hunting and fishing, complete with live fish.

Ok well, it isn’t just MY book… I share the honor of being interviewed with some wonderful friends of mine.
I’m very proud to have a 12-page interview in the just-out book “Professional Wedding Photography: Techniques & Images from Master Photographers” by Lou Jacobs, Jr. (Amherst Media). In addition to the interview, I have 16 images in the book. Nine other photographers are also profiled, including my good friends Andrena Douglass (one of my favorite friends), Chenin & Doug Boutwell (who throw the best ice cream parties ever), John and Dalisa Cooper (always with great smiles), Jen and Stephen Bebb (the best Vegas party pals), Cliff Mautner (Cliffie!), and George Weir (fantabulous). The Amazon editorial review is below:
Containing interviews with the top 10 wedding studio owners in the country, this indispensable reference offers a variety of opinions on everything from art and business philosophies to scheduling, handling retainers, writing contracts, and executing effective marketing plans. More than 15 images from each pro demonstrate classic and cutting-edge techniques — as well as each photographer’s signature wedding portrait style — and are accompanied by details on recreating the scene. Additional tips on inspiring expressions and moods, modulating lighting, and adjusting composition while keeping clients relaxed during this emotionally-charged event are also included.”
