Paul & Bethel's Winter Haven Wedding

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure to photograph Paul and Bethel's wedding. They were married at Faith Baptist in Winter Haven, Florida. The service and reception were held at the church and they had an amazing display of love and gratitude during the entire evening. It was an experience that I had not been able to experience until now and I was both blessed and honored to be a part of it. I got some great shots and I thought I would share!!



I love all the hands in the frame, trying to adjust the tie and collar...



This little girl was having so much fun and was a ham in front of the camera...



Even the bobble head doll was checkin' out the bride...





Can that smile get any larger!?!





During the ceremony, tons of friends and family came up and said some nice things about the couple...











Paul is a photographer, too. His groom's cake was very cool...



All during the reception, people took a microphone and spoke about their experiences with one or both of the bride and groom. Some of the stories were just hilarious.







The limo driver opened the back of the SUV limo and I was able to grab this great shot of them inside.

Canvas Prints

I have always wondered what a good canvas print looks like up close and in person. So, as we do with my son way too often, we experimented. We have this 15 foot wall with a chalk board painted on the bottom, topped off with a chair rail. above that is 7' x 15' blank canvas (pardon the pun). My wife envisioned one of those family style picture frames from Kirklands with 20 some odd pictures within one large frame. I like the idea, but wanted to build on it. So I suggested a couple large prints of our son to hang on the wall left and right of the main multi-pic frame. I mentioned the canvas, but she didnt like the sound of it too much. I went ahead and ordered, canvases that are a mere 3'x2'. I was nervous they would look like, but when they finally arrived I was floored. My wife was too.

Check it out and tell me what you think!!





So, at the end of the day, I write this because I wanted everyone to know what a large canvas print of your loved ones (or you) can look like. I tell you what, I am impressed and I dont say that much...
