My first wedding in South Georgia! Part 1

Bobbi Jo — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 03:43:37 +0000

A few weeks ago, I had the honor of attending Stephanie and Jeremy’s wedding in Valdosta, GA. I was actually not the photographer but a guest, but I did ask permission to bring my camera for after all it would be the first wedding I ever went to in South Georgia and also on a farm. So i got super snap happy and took way to many pictures but I could not help myself for everything was just lovely, unique and so Jeremy and Stephanie. I especially loved Stephanie riding up to the wedding on the back of her daddy’s tractor! I posted these on my facebook photography page not to long ago, but also wanted to post them here to share with everyone who is not on facebook!

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Hughes!

More to come!

She said “YES!” – Jeff & Mary Elizabeth Engaged – Atlanta Marriage Proposals

Bobbi Jo — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 03:46:15 +0000

Jeff & Mary Elizabeth have a passion for living and serving over seas. Mary Elizabeth has spent the past year living in Asia and arrived back in the USA just a few days ago.

Even though they lived on other sides of the world, they would still have regular dates, Jeff tells me Mary Elizabeth’s favorites were when they would plan walks “together” each in their own part of the world connected by phone. This walk however, would be extra special!

They both counted down the dates Mary Elizabeth would return to the USA. However, Jeff had “go to Michigan” for a work or so he told Mary Elizabeth. Little did she know, Jeff had been planning this day for four months, everyone in the world knew of his plans…but her. Jeff was actually in Atlanta the entire time.

Jeff had orchestrated his master plan with the help of many people. He had her debrief meeting set at a certain time, his mother came in from NYC, her mother and sister arrived from out of state, the ring was purchased, a friend to guard the gift table until she came, a photographer (aka me) hired to hide out in a bush to document the evening , a video was made and a phone date arranged. The plan was for the to go on a walk and talk on the phone along the way.

Jeff arrived at the little park where he planned to propose early to set up the table…had to make some quick adjustments to the plan as the weather started turning, but he kept calm…ok well he started pacing back and forth on the banks of the ponds, but really did a good job at keeping his cool.

Mary Elizabeth was so tired, after all she did just fly half way around the world only a few days ago, the weather started turning complete with thunder and lightening all around! Meanwhile, he continued talking with her while pacing back and forth on the banks of the pond nervous….he began to think she was not going to come but somehow he talked her into going on the walk.

To watch most of the event unfold, I created an animoto video, which is below. Animoto is an appropriate way for me to share their engagement story with you as Jeff made an animoto video that Mary Elizabeth watched as her third gift on her “walk”. At the end of the video, it said “turn around”, which you will see her turn complete with her surprised and tearful reaction when she discovered, Jeff was behind her. They met on the dock out of site of my video camera, but the stills helped fill in the gaps of the video.

Clinton, OK Portrait Session

Bobbi Jo — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 03:00:47 +0000

This month I had the wonderful opportunity to fly to Oklahoma to photography one of my dearest friends Jacy’s daughter (see sweet Rachel below and more coming) and also got to do two anytime sessions (Anytime meaning it is not an engagement shoot). My frist night in Oklahoma we drove from a one small town to Clinton, OK where my friend Jacy was performing in a play/musical. As soon as we entered Clinton and saw the old train cars, I knew that had to be the location of the couple portrait sessions. There is something about old cards, trains and pealing pant that I just love as backdrops! Enjoy this small sampling of images from such a fun portrait session!

Thanks Jacy, Jared, Natalie and Ryan for the opportunity to photograph you!

Chris and Cecilia Engaged!

Bobbi Jo — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 04:47:10 +0000

It all started when he walked across campus determined to study hard and stay focused on his pre med studies, when he caught her eye. She had a school girl crush on him from a far, pretty much since the first time she saw him, the crush continued and his present left her often speechless….so she would gaze from afar…

Until a few years later, when the moved to the Emory Atlanta Campus, then over the next few years Cecilia caught his eye and their relationship grew. And on May 30, 2010 Cecelia’s once school girl crush will become her husband!

Here is a small preview of their engagement portrait session at Oxford/Emory College in Oxford, GA.

A look back: Keith & Beth Engaged

Bobbi Jo — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 04:29:08 +0000

I have been going back through my photographs from years past and rediscovered this engagement session from 2007 with Keith & Beth. I loved their engagement session and it is so fun for me to go back from time to time to see how I have grown and changed as a photographer over the past few years. Keith & Beth, it was such a delight to photograph not only your engagement but your wedding! Enjoy a trip down memory lane!
