29 and counting...

My birthday portrait.

I'm looking forward to new things, yet I mourn the loss of time. We exchange time for memories, and I've got a ton of those. So, well spent, yeah?


I like to think so.

Mini Sneak Peek - Musician Jerrod Medulla

So, Normally I do a writeup on here about the session, but since I am suuuuuuper exited about these images and can't wait to get at least a few up, I thought do a "mini sneak peek" and post some really fast. I'm not going to be finished with the rest for some time, but while I have a chance, here's some eye candy. hehe :)

In a nutshell, this is Jerrod Medulla. He is a very talented Country/Americana musician and a great family friend who, as my mom would say, "is quite the looker!" Anyways, I'll save the stories for the real Sneak Peek, but for now, IMAGES! YAY!

I put this last one up for two reasons: 1. because its awesome and 2. as kind of a joke to my mom. On one of Jerrods last albums he had a photo that doesn't show his face and it drives her nuts! This is kind of a different interpretation of that shot. Love you mom! haha!

Now In Texas!

Were finally here! Although, we aren't quite settled in yet. :( I'm still living and working out of our extended stay. There have been numerous issues with getting a new place here, mostly banking related. When you move 2200 miles and don't take all your money with you, well... things happen. Aside from that, and attempting to drive in DFW, all is well.

Yesterday I finished a full day of shooting with a musician by the name of Jerrod Medulla. He's a friend of the family, and a super talented guy. We did some really awesome work that I can't wait to share on here. To all involved, thank you so much for all your help! I'll toss up a mini sneak preview soon.

If I'm quiet and slow on updates, I apologize, moving sucks. We should be settled in here soon. I have sooo much new stuff to post.

Bye for now,
Bailey

Brittany and Steve Wedding Extravaganza - Sneak Peek

The Brittany and Steve Wedding was an ENORMOUS success all around. We came, we saw, we got some fabulous photos!

And so it began...

Brittany and I started the day buying flowers at Pike Place Market for the centerpieces and bouquets. Brittany is kind of a powerhouse when it comes to work. This girl made her own centerpieces and bouquet's! Who does that?!?! Brittany does! And might I add, she did a fantastic job!

Brittany took a moment admire here work. 

  This is one of my favorite photos of the day. We were on our way to the salon for hair and makeup. It's just one of those instances where you catch a unique expression in a moment of haste. 

Brittany's bustle broke on the way to the venue, so she called on the help of Ashley, emergency seamstress/bridesmaid extraordinaire.

The bridal party and I passed the Pike Place Fish Market and the Fish mongers did what they do best: Throw fish at people. 

He finished it off with some ice! 

 

Time for the guys, or should I say Gents

 This is totally unprofessional, but I gotta say, the 5th member of the groom's party had really pretty eyes.

Ceremony

So, now that I can spill the beans on the ceremony, I can definitely say that this was on of the coolest weddings I've ever been to and a true surprise for everyone who attended.

The big surprise was that they did all the introductions for each member of the wedding in the style of a pro wrestling match. You know, like Hulk Hogan style, coming down the isle high 5'ing and pumping up the audience. 

Each member of the bridal party came out to their own music.The strobelight was on full and even though the smoke machine malfunctioned, the environment was full on *SHOWTIME*!

Steve came out like a rockstar to Metallica's "Blackened"

Sydney pimped it out to "walk it out" by Unk

Colleen and Zach bounced down the isle to the Baywatch themesong. They choreographed the coolest moves for this. They even did slow-mo and everything. Sooo good!

Ashley and Shea danced down the isle, glowsticks in hand to "Sandstorm" by Darude.

Sam came out to "Show Me Your Genitals" by John Lajoie. No big deal or anything. 

 Totally kidding, this was AWESOME!!!

So awesome in fact, that Brittany's mom left Sam a surprise in his jacket pocket.

And last, but not least.....

It was as if time stopped and the earth stood still. The audience rose, the skies parted, and then there was Brittany.

Brittany arrived almost as if she stumbled upon the party and it just so happened we were all waiting for her.... 

As if we've *always* been waiting for her. 

She came out to "Hustlin'" by Rick Ross.

The girl owned it.

Somebody forgot the rings, so Austin had to intervene. 

Looks like he saved the day. Predator handshake!

Then some crazy guy who goes by the name of "Sam Donaldson" finished it off to a *special* rendition of "Total Eclipse of the Heart"

I don't know what it is about this guy, but he's irresistible. 

Reception

The rest of the night was a grand celebration, filled with toasts, some of the best nonstop dancing I've ever seen, OH! and cigars!

 I ♥ this photo!

Lastly...

To Brittany and Steve,

Thanks so much you for letting me photograph your wedding and thank you for all your help in keeping me informed along the way. It was a truly wonderful event and I'm awfully glad to have been a part of it!
