Whitney & Michael

I was so thrilled to be in Cairo on Saturday for Whitney and Michael's wedding-- they are such an adorable couple and they had planned for this day for so long. It was such an emotional day... I even found myself tearing up a few times!It always cracks me up to see the girls trying to get the dress on the bride without messing up either the hair of the makeup.Whitney and Michael decided to see one another before the ceremony, so we found a quiet spot across the street underneath the oak trees. I love moments like this-- I just stand back and let the couple have some time alone.
It was such a beautiful day, I was so glad to have a few moments in the sunshine with the bride and groom!
We ran back over to the church for all the family groupings, and the more "formal" portraits. I don't really care for "formal" or "traditional", so I went for beautiful light instead.Right before the ceremony the girls grouped together for a quick prayer.
The flowergirl was such a cutie and she cracked me up as she yawned almost the entire way down the aisle.The reception was held at the Grady Cultural Center-- a phenomenal historic building in Cairo that is my new favorite reception site!The cake was absolutely adorable-- and I love the colored wall!

There was an antique couch off to the side at the reception and it was just begging to be a portrait spot!www.LongsPhotography.com

Website down!?

Some of you may have noticed that LongsPhotography.com and the blog have gone down recently. We were having some trouble with the web host (ARGH!), but it should all be resolved now.

In the meantime, two weddings did not make it up on the blog!

I photographed Shelley and Josh's wedding at First Methodist in downtown Cairo. The historic church really played into this southern wedding. The high school sweethearts put a lot of their personalities into the wedding, complete with University of Georgia baseball hats and groomscake!

Cat and Brad had a mixed marriage this last Saturday-- she is a Seminole and he is a Gator. Despite a bit of heat and rain, Cat was one of the most laid back brides I have ever worked with. She and Brad had a really fun loving group, which made the heat a lot more bearable!
