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

Mary Kate and Josh

Mary Kate and Josh had probably the "quirkiest" wedding I have seen in a long time. I say quirky in the best possible way-- it was definitely a night to remember!


I love this shot of her jewelry-- the ring is a star sapphire and the starburst effect is completely natural-- not photoshop! I love really old churches with hardwood floors...After all the church "formals", we ran over to Westcott with MK and Josh for some fun stuff...The Cake Shop did a great job on their very yummy cake! Their reception featured the best darned air band I have ever heard!This had to be the funniest bouquet toss I have ever seen! There was a literal brawl over the flowers! www.LongsPhotography.com

Robyn and Ty

Robyn and Ty exchanged vows at sunset yesterday here in Tallahassee. With perfect weather, great music, and delicious food-- the party lasted late into the evening!

The shoes, and the bride getting ready-Its always amusing to me to see how many girls have to help get a bride into a gown!A slightly different take on a ring shot.Robyn and Ty were married underneath a chuppah made by Ty and the father of the bride using the bride's grandmother's tablecloth.With the chairs set up in a circle, all of their friends and family stood close for the ceremony.They were showered with rose petals as they came back down the aisle.With the ceremony at sunset, I had to use some interesting lighting techniques for the bride and groom's portraits.I love the alumni center-- its so open feeling, especially with the high vaulted ceilings!The hora-The awesome cake by the Cake Shop:I love this-- two dive for the garter, two run away and others stand and watch.Acme Rythmn and Blues did a great job keeping the dance floor packed all night.

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!
