Brian and Becky- The Massey/Blue Engagement!

  • Posted on August 31, 2009 at 5:11 pm

Hi Everyone,
This lovely couple that I would like to highlight will be getting married October 10th at Faith Chapel on Jekyll Island, Ga (Yes I travel— destination weddings too!) Speaking of Travel after the ceremony the reception will be held in Brunswick, Ga. They sure are troopers! Not only do they have all of that wedding day running, but for their engagement session they came from Georgia and met me at Big Talbot Island (State Park) to spend an hour shooting in the hot, hot, hot sun! Don’t worry though we got some beautiful shots. Introducing BRIAN AND BECKY — Soon to be MR. and MRS. Massey!

We started at the overlook. If you have never been to Big Talbot Island it is definitely worth the drive. They call it the “boneyard” because of all of the fallen trees that have become bleached by the sun after so many years. From there we walked down the beach stopping at a few of these tree to create a few fun shots.

Finally we made our way down the beach, stopping at a patch of Sea Oats. Once we were finished there we walked back to our vehicles changed shirts for a quick (and less sweaty) finish to our shoot, then hauled boogity to the nearest gas station for Icee’s. It was overall a very enjoyable shoot and I can’t wait to shoot the wedding!

Thanks again Brian and Becky- See you very soon!

Cierra and Devron

Hello Again,
This is to share a story about Cierra and Devron. Now Cierra and I have had some previous shoots together including a family shoot, but I havent had the chance to meet Devron before working with him. According to the couple both were very excited to get their first set of couple shots together and really wanted to get collages made (like I have done for Cierra’s Family shoot).
We met at Jax Landing early in the morning to get a few shots- nothing really formal. The couple wanted shots as a couple and some individual as well.

Cierra was interested in collages again— which I happily made for her during her family shoot before. I had a lot of fun creating a nice urban collage highlighting some of Jacksonville’s scenery at the Landing.
It was nice meeting Devron and hearing that he had never taken couple pictures before. That made creating their collages even more exciting, and hearing that they loved them even more rewarding.
I love having happy clients, and most definitely welcome you back as a repeat client as well! Cierra has had a family shoot and couple shoot with me now— we will be planning another shoot probably within the next few months.

Thanks again Cierra and Devron! I hope to work with you again very soon

All the best,
Vanessa

Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to share a personal moment with you. Thanks to a friend of mine I now have some family pics of my own :) Introducing my husband Ben, my first baby Grizzley– the red one, and the newest addition Pola- the light one.
Its funny how these things get away from you when you spend your time behind the camera.
