Bella Quinceañera

Pin it

Like a Sweet 16 party, the quinceañera celebrates the coming of age of a young woman.  She is turning 15 and her family and friends celebrate the occasion with quite the party.

We had a blast with the photography and the videography – celebrating with this wonderful family.  Isabella was beautiful, sweet, and enjoyed every second of the day.

We hope you enjoy watching.

Same-Day-Edit Videography for Lisa and Simon

Lisa & Simon had this crazy idea to enter their wedding reception with a dramatic retelling of their love story, ending with (and here’s the crazy part) video of them actually walking through the door) — yeah, we figured it out.

*England footage provided by our new friends at Snowball Pruductions in London.

A warm wedding video for a cold Memphis day

Pin it

Okay, it’s almost summer time — why is it 50 degrees outside!

Maybe this epic wedding video from Shannon and Justin’s wedding in the British Virgin Islands will help warm you up.

becca and sam {memphis engagement photography}

Pin it

Usually we have a few conversations with our couples before we photograph them, but not this time.  Becca’s mom saw our team shooting for Jeff and Chelsey Savage’s epic wedding and just knew we were right for them.  Ha!  Must’ve been my yellow shoes!!

Well, she was right – Becca and Sam were so much fun to work with.  We all hit it off instantly and had a blast on this fine Memphis spring day.

Thank you guys for letting us be a part of telling your story!

Here are just a couple of my faves from the shoot… enjoy!

Sunday Afternoon Photo-sharing!

Pin it

Hello all,

Take a second on this sunny Sunday afternoon and scroll through one of our photo adventures. We love sharing these with you guys! These are all the experiments and goofiness that’s involved in our creative process. It’s truly a collaboration with friends on these photo walks. :D  Enjoy them and have a laugh at something the youth these days call “jowling” ….. I think?

 

Peace and blessings,

Keegan Ward


Right before the “blizzard” these past few days….Supposedly a “Keegan pose”— WARNING: goofy material ahead– Yup. And, for those of you who are new to this, just like I was until recently, take a look into this. It’s worth a good laugh. :) http://www.jowlers.com  Goofball.

 

 

It was such a successful day! Philip really is such a talented photographer. Blessed to be around so many gifted and wonderful people. Thanks for the time, you guys.

After 1 photography lesson

Pin it

•••••••••••••••••••~•••••••••••••••••••

“Wait, what does ‘exposure’ mean?”  — she asked, literally, 6 times.

•••••••••••••••••••~•••••••••••••••••••

So, I sent Mary Beth {my super-awesome wife} for a little get-away in Tucson.  She decided that she would like to take a camera and take some pictures. Great idea!

In line with our upcoming private lesson series we are starting in March, I thought I should give her a couple of points to remember.  This was the first time for her to ever think about the words shutter speed, aperature, and ISO – what the heck is ISO?  Those three variables join to create your exposure — “Wait, what does exposure mean, again?”

She has never taken a photograph with anything other than a little purse camera or an iphone before, but after our lesson I felt like she at least knew what the three variables meant  (and what “exposure” meant).  Off she goes to the desert – with her camera set to MANUAL!

When she returned I was amazed… so proud.

Memphis Wedding Videography

Pin it

We have had a TON of inquiries this season for our super-awesome videography in addition to our photography coverage.  I thought I’d take just a moment and post a couple of the in one post for our new clients to revel in.

(for our couples not shown here – just know this:-) we had to chose only a small handful to put up —- and…. maybe we kept yours back in order to blow their minds in the studio!)

Choosing the right videography team is SOOOO important to your wedding plans.  If you need any help (even if we are booked) we would love to help you with the things to consider when making that choice. Just let us know.

Happy Planning!

As always, videos this perfect wouldn’t be possible without the stunning work of the designers – in this case, the team at Social Butterflies. Wonderful job ladies!

Erin and Ross {sneak peek}

Pin it

Erin and Ross had a fairytale wedding underneath the huge oak tree in the Goldsmith Garden at the Memphis Botanic Garden.  The rain held off and it was a perfect night.

The Butterflies did an amazing job with the design and coordination of the entire weekend and the team of vendors were exceptionally on their game for this one.

Wade & Company – the food was amazing; Mahaffy Rentals – the outdoor events were lush, comfortable, and gorgeous; Haute Horticulture – Karen and the team always make stunning use of flowers down to the smallest detail.

 

The following group of photographs (starting at the end, for some reason :) were played for the family the next morning at the fantastic brunch.  Our Same-Day-Edits are always such an emotional thing. It is the perfect ending to the night or the weekend to be able see it all come together on screen, as though the twelve hours of magic are pulled together into three minutes.

Erina and Ross, the wedding was unbelievably gorgeous.  I’m so glad you allowed us to be a part of it.  I’m loving the photos and I know my video guys killed it as always (can’t wait for that!).

enjoy!  more to come soon :-)

Liza and Stephen {wedding video}

Pin it

We LOVED every moment working with Liza and Stephen and their wonderful families. They were thoughtful, sweet, fun-loving, and they really know how to throw a party.

Take a few minutes to sit back and revel in the love between these two. I must admit, at the end of the video, I had a little tear in my eye :-)

Thanks guys! Bless you in your new life together.

{ Anna Laura & Jeff } – Got married at Metro 67!

Pin it

Those of you in the “industry” may recognize the beautiful Anna Laura, she is the business manager at the, oh so unique event facility, Metro 67. Their intimate ceremony still took place on the rooftop despite all of the worry about rain! Angela with Mahaffy Tent Rentals, Kevin with Posh, and Kristen and the team with Ziparo’s Catering all worked so well to make this wedding so beautiful! Take a look below for more pics:
