Met this little guy while scouting the venue at Saturday’s wedding in Hattiesburg, MS. He saw my camera- then proceeded to put on a show.

7 things I wish Adobe CS5 would have added for wedding photographers.

Today is a big day for those of us who live by Photoshop, as Adobe launches the latest version. While I was reading over the list of the amazing capabilities of the new software, my mind started to drift (surprise!). I wonder what tools they could add to really help us wedding photographers out. Here are some of my suggestions- feel free to leave some of your own in the comments.
1. Spray Tan Brush- for the brides and bridesmaids who love to go tan in a string bikini before donning their strapless dresses on wedding day.
2. Arm Pit prettyizer- for those unattractive pits that we sometimes capture. Nothing like smoothing out armpit wrinkles in photoshop while munching on a snack.
3. Muffin Top smoother – automated button for tucking in the loose skin that builds up around the top of a strapless dress, no matter how skinny the bride may be.
3. Over here – not over there button – ever notice how someone in the group shots is always looking away (we’re talking grown ups here- babies are excused). We need a button that automatically redirects everyone’s eyes to the camera.
4. The long awaited “can you make me look skinnier” button – every wedding, at least one person will ask us “can you make me look skinnier?” when we take their picture. Sure- we just need a button for that. Or we can start charging by the pound.
5. Bridal suite beautifier- We’ve seen our sweet Brides put in every type of room imaginable. There is nothing like trying to capture gorgeous images in a 6 year old Sunday School classroom, filled with felt bulletin boards, puffy white clouds, and smiling suns. While one or two images can be fun- the images look so much better with less clutter in the background. Can we get a button for that?
6. Hungover groomsman fixer. enough said.
7. Uncle Bob equalizer. This button would allow us to use the interwebs to access the friends and relatives who follow us around during the wedding, taking pictures of the same things that we take pictures of. They are our shadow on wedding day. Using this function, we could add an “inspired by _________” watermark on all of their images. In pure love, of course.
Do you have suggestions? List them below. Maybe we can get Adobe’s attention- ya!
Wishing for warmer weather

This is an visually driven blog, but today we’re going to mix it up with an audio post. I wanted to introduce our readers to one of the best Saint’s songs I’ve heard. The New Orleans based band, MoJeaux performed this at Rachel and Brian’s wedding last weekend. Check it out! The song is available on iTunes as well.

Boldly Going Where No Photographer Has Gone Before....
Ok so that was cheesy, but Joey and I had SOOOO much fun dressing up this Halloween as Star Trek characters I just had to share a quick picture we snagged at the party we went to! I worked hard all week sewing the costumes from scratch and I'm so stoked about how well they came out! I was inspired since Joey bought me the entire first season of the original star trek series for my birthday and I've been watching them non-stop. I never realized just how big a trekkie fan I really am until now, but it's ok I'm learning to embrace my inner geek.
Is it wrong that now I want to dress up in them again and go to one of the trekkie conventions!?
I hope everybody had fun! Tons of photos hitting the blog this week so stay tuned!

WE HAVE A STUDIO!!!!
I know I have mentioned in posts lately that big things were happening and in the works and I can now finally announce that we are opening our first photography studio! We have been looking and looking forever for a space that would be just right for us and early this summer we found one and have been busy little bees working to update the space and remodel it. It's an old warehouse so we had an interesting time converting it for our needs, but I'm super stoked about how it has turn out in the end.
To celebrate our new studio we are throwing a HUGE party, and we want all of you.... YES YOU (and every friend you have who isn't busy that night), to come! We want to totally pack this place with as many people as we can fit! We're going to have a DJ, so make sure to bring your dancing shoes as we party the night away in celebration!
