I love the drama of this image, I was torn about showing it in color vs. bw, and decided I love the warm tones of the color.

Bob and Ann Marie tied the knot surrounded by their friends and family.  A beautiful, but hot,  August day.  The heat and humidity did not both bride or groom, they only had eyes for each other.  It was a pleasure to capture your day!

Here is a sneak peek of Melissa & Dave’s Wedding on July 18th, 2009. It was such a pleasure to capture their beautiful and magical day.

This format is a “Storybook Album” format, when I photograph weddings, I always think of the storytelling component and layout for albums. This is sample album layout for a number of storybook albums that I offer :)

The full gallery & slideshows are “in the works”, consider this a little “teaser trailer”

link to the Sikes Wedding Sneak Peek as a Storybook Wedding Album slideshow

Favorites will be forthcoming :)

A beautiful wedding, a beautiful bride & groom! This wedding was chock full of wonderful touches, details and nuances that displayed to the guests/friends/family the special details about Katie & Jared.
