Ashley & Sean

Olyn and I spent the weekend at Wakulla Springs for Ashley and Sean's vintage-themed wedding. What more perfect way to personalize the wedding of two history-buffs than focus on a specific moment of Florida history? All of the details from the cake to the flowers and music absolutely transported you back to the way the Wakulla Springs Lodge must have felt in the 1940's.

Taking their theme as inspiration, I spent weeks before the wedding thinking of 1940's imagery and what that meant in my mind. I loved having this challenge as it really forced my creativity into images that I adore and I might not have thought of without the push.

Blossom's did a stunning job with the bouquets and the centerpieces. Ashley had them string beads into the flowers, as it was common for bride's in the Great Depression to carry bouquets of buttons and string.Olyn and I split up to spend time with both the girls and the guys while they were getting ready. No offense to Olyn or the guys... but they just didn't have the drama that Ashley did with that dress! The silhouette was an immediate inspiration for me and sent my mind into a thousand different directions.
I love having two photographers to cover a ceremony. Olyn stayed at the back and covered mostly wide angles, while I snuck up to the front for the close-ups. From this one spot, I captured Ashley crying, her mother crying, her grandmother crying, and her bridesmaids crying.Olyn got a few different angles of the back of the service.
The fireplace makes such an elegant backdrop for the ceremony.Probably my favorite shot of the day-- taken in the elevator of the lodge. It embraces the vintage feel, but adds a healthy dose of sex-appeal. If forced to choose one type of image as my signature style, this would have to be it. I love dark moody shadows and dramatic lighting. Of course, thanks to Olyn, I spent the entire day after this with "Love in an Elevator" stuck in my head!
Ashley and Sean were amazingly generous with the amount of time they gave us for portraits, so we literally went all over the lodge.The ceiling was the first thing Ashley fell in love with and had mentioned at our first meeting how she would like to have it included in an image. I don't think she realized this meant me laying on the dirty floor as people literally moved chairs and swept around me. :)The architecture of the lodge adds instant drama to any image, so I used it every chance I could!Tiki's Tasties created another amazing cake-- each layer had part of a latin phrase piped on it, but I never did get a translation!
Ashley and Sean do not hide their emotions, so photographing their toasts was a photographer's dream!
This was actually a first for me-- I have photographed countless bubble, birdseed and sparkler farewells, but this time they threw dried lavender. Not only pretty, but it smells yummy too!

The Shelby Family

I was back at Maclay Gardens this morning for portraits of the Shelby family... I swear I just need to pitch a tent and stay , I have been there so much! The ground was still a bit mucky from last night's storm, but we found a few dry places to sit! Even though it was a TAD humid, I think we got some really great shots and as always, I had a blast with the Shelbys!I have seen a lot of critters at Maclay-- deer, squirrels, frogs, etc. But this was a new one-- crawfish! I honestly thought it was a weird fluke until we found some of his friends! Sarah was a lot braver than me, she actually wanted to pick him up! www.LongsPhotography.com

Baby Karaline

I was so excited to meet baby Karaline yesterday-- I absolutely love her family and I have been waiting to meet her since her mom came in for maternity portraits. I spent the morning at the family's home, doing some studio type images of Karaline alone, but also doing some documentary lifestyle portraits of her with her family.

I have to say she is the most alert newborn I have ever seen! She is only a week old and is already trying to hold her head up for long periods of time. The session lasted nearly two hours and Karaline's eyes only closed for a brief moment. Most newborns have trouble keeping awake for even a few moments of the session-- we honestly could not get Karaline to sleep at ALL! Hopefully, she slept well yesterday afternoon and let her parents rest a bit!

Morgan and Karilyn's Senior Portraits

I really had no idea I would enjoy senior portraits this much! Olyn and I had another senior session yesterday-- this time at Maclay Gardens with Morgan and Karilyn. Honestly, seniors are becoming one of my favorite shoots! Especially when you have girls as sweet and funny as Morgan and Karilyn! I thought teenagers were supposed to be difficult and moody!! :)

A lot of our senior clients are choosing to do their sessions together so they have someone there for moral support. It really makes each session a riot and I think we have just as much fun as the seniors do!

The Rice Family

I don't think many assignments can be as tough as photographing a family of 10 adults and 11 children on a hot day in between rainstorms, but that is exactly what we did yesterday for the Rice family. Not only did we get some great shots of the family, but we had a wonderful time meeting everyone and playing around with the kiddos! www.LongsPhotography.com

Miss Sara

I had the absolute best session Firday morning with Miss Sara. I have to admit that from 1yr to 2 years... kids just aren't easy subjects to photograph. Sarah was a striking exemption from that rule. She was very cooperative, funny, sweet and loads of fun. I have never met a child her age who was so loving to EVERYONE! Both Olyn and I received at least a dozen hugs and her favorite place to pose was right next to wherever Olyn was!

Amanda & Damon

I had such a great day yesterday at Amanda and Damon's wedding-- what more could you ask for?? An awesome couple with the sweetest families, a good friend as a second shooter and my absolute favorite vendors to work with. I hardly ever cry at weddings-- usually one per year-- but I teared up twice yesterday. The first time was during the super emotional mother-son dance and the second time was out of laughter during the toasts!

Amanda had really sexy heels, but I just loved her reception shoes-- they really showed her sassy personality!
The couple's baby, Riley, showed his true colors--- garnet and gold instead of orange and blue!Whenever I am asked about flowers-- I only have two words to say- Missy Gunnels. She is phenomenal each and every time I work with her and yesterday was definitely no exception!There was a bit of a disappointment yesterday as the priest informed me at the last minute that he would not allow any photographs of the ceremony. We were allowed to photograph the processional and recessional, but nothing else. All I can say is that it greatly saddened me that the couple would have no images of their ceremony for their album...
The church had absolutely beautiful pockets of light that we used every opportunity we could for portraits.After the formal portraits at the church, we saved a few minutes for portraits at Golden Eagle-- one of my favorite places to shoot. You just can't beat the great light and awesome backdrops of the Country Club!
I love sentimental touches with wedding details-- the bride and groom used the same cake knife that her parents used and had it engraved with their names and date next to that of her parents.This could definitely be called a grand entrance!
The couple was so incredibly into each other-- I don't think they noticed the hundreds of guests watching them!Damon is a musician and as part of the reception, he performed acoustically a song he wrote for Amanda.The man... the legend... the one and only Greg Tish. :) No, he didn't pay me to say that! Greg is beyond awesome-- he is the key to any great party in town. Even look at the background of the image... the window is reflecting a packed dance floor. And he kept the party rolling until 1:30 in the morning! And my super groovy second shooter, Monica. Who totally kept me sane and in giggles with her weird posing, facebook shots and general nuttiness! Thanks again for helping me out!www.LongsPhotography.com

Betty & Paul

Olyn photographed Betty and Paul's intimate wedding this Saturday at the Women's Club. From the personalized vows, to the flair added to the first dance, to the great entertainment, Paul and Betty's day was truly unique!

I love Paul's expression here as he sees his bride for the first time-- you can actually see the tears welling up in his eyes.
Betty was all smiles as she was escorted down the aisle by her daughters. Paul and Betty wrote their own vows for each other. I love how it adds so much intimacy to the ceremony...
...Although some of us may have been more moved than others - Betty's granddaughter couldn't help yawning towards the end of the ceremony!
Paul and Betty added their own personal touches everywhere. They even danced up the aisle!
Betty smile didn't even fade outside in the heat-- from start to finish, she really enjoyed every moment of her day!
Black tuxes and 90 degree heat just don't go well together for some reason. We just can't figure out why! :) So, Paul's portraits were done mostly indoors to keep him from melting!
It is undeniable how much Paul loves Betty. At times during the family portraits, he could not help sharing a little romantic moment with her!
There were touches of calla lilies everywhere-- really adding to the theme of the day!
Paul and Betty put on quite a show for their first dance! Paul went down on one knee and then picked up Betty and twirled her around!
And their dance ended to a huge round of applause!
You can tell Paul and Betty are really loved, as they were toasted by their friends and family.
Tiki's Tasties really embraced the green and white calla lily theme and took it to the next leve with the cake.
You can really see the pride in Paul's mom's eyes as she watches the events of the day.
Believe it or not, Betty forgot to do the bouquet toss! Paul and Betty were all but gone and they ran back in, threw the bouquet and ran right back out!

Summer Portrait Special!

So, in case you hadn't noticed, Tallahassee gets a tad warm in the summer. So much so that the moment you walk out the door, you are shining with sweat. So, we want to reward our portrait clients who choose to have their session in the early morning-- not only is the light awesome, but the temperatures are the coolest of the day.

So, for July and August any outdoor portrait session (excluding engagements and baby plan sessions), that takes place between 7am and 9:30am will receive a BONUS $25 print credit. All you have to do is schedule your session for the morning and you get free stuff!

And to illustrate the Tallahassee heat, here is Thatcher doing his daily reign of terror with the hose. Ahh... two year olds can be so easily amused! :) www.LongsPhotography.com

Gretchen & Chad

Olyn and I had so much fun yesterday at Gretchen and Chad's Hawaiian themed wedding! It was truly a day of details and laughter. Almost every surface was covered in the wedding colors of eggplant purple and lime green with orchids scattered everywhere. And every face you saw was covered with a huge smile-- from the girls getting ready to the guys during the ceremony and the wild party afterwards, it was a true celebration.We didn't have much time or space for getting ready, but this corner of the church worked perfectly!
I absolutely love these two images-- both the bride and groom are fighting back tears as they see one another for the first time.Saturday at 2 was the FSU vs. Stanford baseball game in Omaha. Saturday at 3 was Gretchen and Chad's ceremony. The priest told a story to start the ceremony, saying "One of the groomsmen approached me before the ceremony to ask how long this was going to take. And my answer was.... " A HUGE clap of thunder punctuated his story, followed by a LOT of laughter. Many of the guests thought it was a sound effect!St. Thomas More is such a great church and we absolutely love shooting there!
We had a few minutes for portraits outside and I absolutely love these two portraits of the bride and groom!We had a good amount of time for post ceremony portraits, so we did lots of different things in the church, but all of my favorites were from just inside the doorway.When I said there were orchids everywhere, it was truly not an exaggeration!The favor boxes really fit in with the Hawaiian theme-- and inside were two fortune cookies with a thank you message from the bride and groom.I loved how Gretchen inscribed Chad's ring. What better message could a coach give?Gretchen really enjoyed her wedding reception-- I can probably count on one hand the number of images with her NOT smiling!
They had some really great toasts and what better background than the huge windows of the Alumni Center?Orchids even cascaded down the wedding cake!This should be a great warning to all grooms-- keep your hands on the cake knife!
This is honestly the first reception I have ever been to that had a "booty hour". It definitely packed the dance floor!

Rice Family-- Part I

So, Friday was a crazy busy day! We met Christy and Kory at Maclay Gardens Friday evening for a somewhat untraditional portrait session. Christy's family will be doing a VERY large family portrait in about a week... when Christy will be in Italy for a wedding. Rather than have her not be in the family portrait, her mom commissioned me to do a separate session of Christy and we will just add her into the photo later.

Since we were going to be at the park anyways, Christy brought along her boyfriend Kory so we could do some couple's portraits as well. These two were an absolute riot and really made the session a lot of fun! I can't wait to get the whole big family together! www.LongsPhotography.com

He was definitely not in the mood for portraits when they got here-- he even cried through all of my "happy baby" tricks! After a quick snack, Cole was one of the happiest, smiliest (if that's even a word!) babies! I really had a lot of fun and I adore his faux-hawk! :)www.LongsPhotography.com

We had such an awesome family portrait session yesterday with the Blackburn family in Southwood. The weather already made us reschedule the session once, so despite the dark looking skies, we went ahead with the session. The sky threatened to storm, but we managed to get everything in before it really started to rain. The storm clouds were actually quite nice-- it cooled everything off and gave us really great light!www.LongsPhotography.com

The Golden Eagle Show

Monday was the 1st Annual Golden Eagle Country Club and Tallahassee Association of Wedding Professionals Bridal Showcase. It was honestly the best bridal show we have ever been a part of! Golden Eagle did a phenomenal job-- the food was fabulous, everything was organized and efficient and it was so great meeting the 200 brides who came in the door!

We have already received SO many phone calls for fall 2008 and spring 2009 dates! We do still have some availability for the fall, but it is getting rather limited. Spring 2009 weddings are booking rapidly as well.

If you have any questions about our packages, or you met us at the show and would like to come by the studio to chat, please just let us know!

The show really featured Tallahassee's best wedding vendors, but one booth just stood out against the rest.... :)
I was really blown away by all the decor and yummy food at the show-- it was absolutely first rate!www.LongsPhotography.com

Cool new feature!!

After talking with a lot of our brides, we are really happy to announce a cool new feature of our website-- a bridal registry! From the comments we received from a lot of our past clients, they already had a home and didn't really need eight toasters and fourteen crock-pots. :)

So, why not have your guests contribute to a timeless family heirloom, like your wedding album? You can upgrade to a larger album, add more pages, get a large canvas or even parent albums. Sounds a lot better than a pile of gifts you don't really want and will try to re-gift at your friends' weddings!

So, how does it work? We are activating registries for all our brides-- starting with weddings in August 2008. We have cards for you to put in invitations, or give to guests telling them how to contribute to your registry. Its super easy-- just go to www.LongsPhotography.com and click on "weddings". At the bottom of the wedding page there is a link to "registry". Guests can enter either the bride's or the groom's names to access the registry and then contribute directly by credit card online.

As always, let us know if you have any questions! Linda@LongsPhotography.com or 850.339.5799!

Jennifer & Ed

I spent Saturday here in Tallahassee for Jennifer and Ed's wedding and it was a riot from start to finish! At one point, Jennifer made me laugh so hard I actually had to walk away just to catch my breath! She and Ed are outrageously funny and people you are just really happy to know and I feel so honored they chose me for their wedding!After hunting around the church, I found this spot for the dress. I always tell people that light makes the image-- everything around the dress is less than ideal, but with the right light, nothing else matters!
I had a few minutes with the bride alone before the ceremony and again I found some beautiful light coming in the church windows-- the bride's reflection was an added bonus!I wanted a matching image of Ed, but I just couldn't do the reflection again, so I tried something a little different.I really love Good Shephard Catholic Church-- they are incredible when it comes to photography and allow me to stand behind a pew near the altar-- where I have an amazing view of the bride and groom.Not everyone was so into the ceremony-- the ringbearer was a little less than enthused.
Again, back at my window, we did a few portraits of the bride and groom before we headed outside.
I have shot at Good Shephard lots of times, but this was the first time I discovered this wall-- a new favorite location!
Once we got over to the Tallahassee Women's Club at Los Robles, we had a few extra minutes of portraits-- with the couple's awesome car!One of the biggest reasons I love the Women's Club is the light coming through all the windows. It really adds to the mood of the couple's first dance.Of course, they added their own drama as well.The incredible double chocolate creation by Katie's Cakes and Catering! Really... I know I say it a lot, but she ROCKS!And the less than nice cake cutting...This was definitely a first for me... the entire party launched into re-enactments of the movie Footloose when the song came on! www.LongsPhotography.com

Tiffany & Ryan

Olyn photographed Tiffany and Ryan's wedding at Bradfordville Baptist Church this Saturday. Tiffany and Ryan are such a fun, laid back couple that they are a true joy to photograph. Their beautiful ceremony was followed by dinner and dancing at Golden Eagle Golf and Country Club.

It is always fun to create a new take on an old idea. I think that this shot captures Tiffany's beautiful dress in a unique way!I love the balcony at Bradfordville Baptist. It allows a photographer to capture some great wide shots of the ceremony!Here are a few of my favorite portraits:Tiffany and Ryan had a beautiful cake created by the Cake Shop. The cake incorporated the flowers from the centerpieces, giving the room a unified feel.
Blossoms created some wonderful centerpieces and bouquets. I like how the square, structured vases give way to an overflow of exotic flowers.The dance floor stayed packed the entire night!Sometimes, bubble farewells can fall a little short in the bubble department. Not with this crowd! Tiffany and Ryan's friends went into bubble overdrive to give this couple a farewell to remember!www.LongsPhotography.com

Baby Tre

Baby Tre was back in the studio on Friday for his 9 month portraits. Tre has always been a portrait all-star for me -- never crying or fussing and always grinning like crazy. I tell all the parents that every baby has one "off" day where they just aren't up for it. This was Tre's "off" day, and I can honestly say he was still one of the cutest, sweetest babies I work with. So, if this is as bad as Tre gets, I don't think his parents have much to complain about!! :)Publish Postwww.LongsPhotography.com

Alissa and Josh

After the wedding Saturday, I had to race down to Gainesville to third shoot Alissa and Josh's wedding. That's right-- third shoot. It may seem like overkill, but when a wedding has this many details, having someone to just cover the minute details can really come in handy! I always have a blast shooting with Monica and Jacob and it allows me to do my own thing and try a few new creative things.

The reflective top of the hotel desk made for a really cool ring shot.Still playing with the rings-- this time with the bride's heels.I absolutely fell in love with the flowers-- pink orchids and peonies. A girl's dream!Again, while Monica and Jacob covered the "big picture", I got in for all the fine detail.I really love how Jewish weddings have the bride escorted by both her parents-- I am so proud of Alissa's mom and dad for keeping it together!A wide shot of the ceremony, which was a major challenge for the three of us to shoot in a distinctly different way.
A little bit of portrait fun by the "wedding tree" at the UF Hilton.
I can't lie-- these have got to be the most awesome, stupendous, cool and kick ass centerpieces I have ever had at a wedding. I think I must have photographed them 3o different ways. I love the pink uplighting on the walls-- it definitely set the mood and gave the room atmosphere!We each chose a person to focus on during the toasts so we had everything covered-- I lucked out and got the beautiful bride!Finally-- the absolutely insane, hilarious Hora!www.LongsPhotography.com

Less than a week until Golden Eagle Bridal Showcase!!

Ok, I already blogged about this once, but just in case you forgot... On Monday, June 9th, Golden Eagle Country Club and the Tallahassee Association of Wedding Professionals will be holding a Bridal Showcase at 6pm. This will NOT be a traditional bridal show-- the club will be all decked out as it is on wedding days. The florists are going all out to show you options for decor-- reception tables, ceremony set up, etc. There will be linen companies showing you table set ups and chair covers. And of course the caterers, cake bakers, etc. will have yummies for you to try!

The entry fee is $5 and the best part?? Your ticket gets you a free drink!! Seriously, you can't beat that! So, since I know you don't have anything else on a Monday night, come out and have a glass of wine and chat with the best vendors in town!

There will be an informational workshop by the area's leading wedding planners and also by some pretty good :) photographers-- including myself. We will have the workshops at 6:45 and 7:45, so be sure to not be too late!

If you would like more information, or if you would like to pre-register you can go to www.GoldenEaglecc.org And for more information about the areas best vendors, visit www.TAWP.org

Changes to Wedding Packages on the Way!

This week we will be unveiling our new wedding packages-- we have made quite a few changes and we are really excited about what this will mean for our brides. We have really listened to the feedback from our past clients and based on their input, we have done a bit of restructuring to add a lot of additional value to the collections.

We are aware that a lot of brides have already met with us and are considering our services with the current packaging. The last thing we want to do is pull the rug out from under anyone, so we will allow any bride booking between now and June 15th the opportunity to choose the package that best suits her needs-- whether it is the old or the new pricing. After June 15th, we will no longer be able to honor the old pricing for any unsigned contract.

If you have any questions about the pricing, please contact me at Linda@LongsPhotography.com or give us a call at 850.339.5799!
