Well after being rained/stormed/lightning'ed out for the past two days... I was able to sneak in an engagement session with Trey and Kaley this afternoon. The weather was fabulous... other than hot! These two were great to work with and I think they had fun during the pictures.... I had to be careful what I told these two to do... because they would not hesitate and dive in head first to whatever... at one point I thought they were going to jump in the lake! Congratulations guys and God bless!
This past weekend I ran up to Little Rock to meet up with these two to shoot their engagement pictures. We had a lot of fun beating the heat and walking through downtown shooting the pictures. I cant wait for the wedding... it is going to be at the chapel at Fort Chaffee and I know it will be a lot of fun! Congratulations guys and God bless!

Yesterday I met up with Jeff and Shelcy to shoot their engagements. We have been rained out twice already but God had way bigger plans for us. He absolutely showed out on this amazing sunset. This is definitely one of the best I have ever witnessed anywhere. Congratulations guys on the engagement and I can't wait for your upcoming wedding! Only 40-something days Shelcy!
** side note... I threw in a few more artsy images... let me know what you think about them!
God bless!
I met up with Ryan and Rebecca this afternoon for some engagement pictures... Ryan had called me earlier and said they had a few "out of the box ideas!" I had no idea what was in store for me! Only these two could pull it off though... they are so happy! I just love em to death! Then after the craziness we snuck in a few shots and had a killer sunset to work with! God bless!
what do you think? im nominating this one for engagement photo of the year!
This week I got to shoot some pictures for Ryan and Rebecca's upcoming wedding! We had some awesome plans and was really going to go for uber super unique... but mother nature held us back a little bit. We decided to go ahead and shoot a few indoors for some publications they are working on... and we even beat the weather for a few quick shots at the end. Be on the lookout for R&R part II though coming up soon!
God Bless!
Recently I have been doing some brainstorming and started questioning why photos are so important to me and my family. You can take one glance around either of my offices, my home, or even my vehicle and see how important photography is to me. To me photography is a way of freezing a moment of time and being able to display it forever. Not the... "say cheese" type photography... but the type of photography that pours over with feeling and emotion. The type of photography that makes you feel like you were a first hand spectator whether you were or not! I realize this is why I love weddings the way I do. Most photographers would say... I dont do weddings... its too stressful. But I find that weddings are by far the most rewarding photo event there can be. The emotions are always on high... the families are always present... everyone is clean and looking good... in most cases it would be impossible to mess up! There is nothing more I love than being in the right place at the right time... maybe it is in the back of the foyer... non-obtrusively crouching in a corner while the father gives his daughter one last kiss on the cheek before he escorts her down the aisle... thats a photo that will stir some emotion.
I love shooting weddings and I hope that it shows in all of my work. I think sometimes people get caught up in all the "stress" and miss the moments.
Thinking back on how well Amber and I have been blessed during our so far short lives... I have a strong feeling that I want to give back and positively influence the lives of someone.

The new blog is finally here and here to stay! Madeline Miller with Made by Madeline designs helped me out with this rockin design. I am so happy with it. So now the blog has a combination of my style and flexibility, large images, along with great commenting and archiving that blogger blogs offer! I couldn't be more happy. You can still see some of the last few posts at http://www.terrysphotography.wordpress.com/ and some of the comments of the posts over there too...
I am in the process of getting all the posts moved over to the new blog. As of right now, the old-old posts are unavailable... anything from around July 07 and back is gone for now... I hope to have it back in a few days too. For now I have all the last few weddings reposted here on the new blog and the last few weeks can be seen at the wordpress link above. I hope you enjoy the new blog... the site is archived by months... but if a month gets too long, there will be a link at the bottom that says older posts... so if you see this be sure and check out the older posts and leave some comments and let me know what you think!
