Heather and Rhett Wedding,Updated

Okay, what a great wedding we had today! The bridal party was ridiculously nice and everything just flowed extremely smooth. It's going to take a day or two to post some of the wedding photos, but I have been dying for 5 weeks to post some of Heather's bridal portraits. Is this not one of the most gorgeous brides you have ever seen? More from the big day coming soon?













I love the drama in this photo......



All the girls looking hot in the red!



The manly groom Rhett....



The flower girl had to have a little coaxing from dad...more of this cutie will be in the finished gallery....









They look so good together!











I do not know what this conversation was about, but I bet they were getting some good advice....



Everyone had a great time... I have too many photos like this to post!



No computer tricks here folks, this is Wesley's talent straight out of the camera!



Rae was threatened that this photo better make the blog!

Whitney & Caleb at the Beach

We had a really nice engagement session at the beach Thursday with Whitney & Caleb. We shot the wedding of Whitney's sister Kendall in August of last year which you can see here, so it was an honor when she chose us to be at her wedding this upcoming August in Montgomery. Here is a little of this great looking couple......

Link Warning!

We are in the process of hopefully a brand new more sophisticated blog, or at the least a new web address for this one within a month. If you have us saved in your favorite links or on a RSS feed, it may not work the next time you try it. Don't panic!! You can still reach the blog from the front page of our main www.raeleytham.com website, and save the new address all over again! I'll give a heads up a day or two in advance if possible. We are averaging 350 hits to the blog here on some days, and we really appreciate all of you who stop by!

Nikki & Garth Tie the Knot!

I am adding more pics than usual for this post since Nikki is our very good friend. And as some of you know, Nikki was with us when we had our roll-over accident a few years back. The wedding was very sweet and touching with only close friends and family. Nikki & Garth wanted to see each other for photos prior to the ceremony and since Nikki had a room at the Grand Hotel, we had them see each other there. Then we headed over to Apple Annie's for their wedding in the courtyard and the reception inside.



This is Garth seeing Nikki for the 1st time. It's capturing these moments that make us love what we do.....


Garth gave Nikki a bracelet!




Yep...that's our Nikki getting herself a handful.


Isn't this a beautiful setting?!




Garth's dad performed the ceremony. He made it so special and he got a bit choked up a few times. Can you see the father/son resemblance here?


Instead of lighting a unity candle, they did a sand ceremony. They included Garth's two handsome sons too. They each had their own color.








Can you say "Betty Weber" cake??? Beautiful and YUMMYYYYY!!!! And since we are friends, we got to bring some home!!




We wish you two a lifetime of happiness! We love you.

Ashley & Blue at the Grand!

Ashley & Blue married this weekend at the Unity Church of Christianity in downtown Pensacola followed by a Grand reception at The Crown Plaza Grand Hotel. What a beautiful wedding it was with two wonderful and loving families. I say we do this again next year with a renewal of the vows.... anybody?

Now this is a stretch Limo....... it fit the entire 18-person wedding party with room to spare!








All of the florals were done by Faith at Southern Floral Traditions and were absolutely gorgeous as usual......










The reception decor' was amazing!


Groom's cake by Betty Weber... YUM!



This is one of Ashley's little brothers, Jake... He was tearin' it up on the dance floor. Isn't he precious?


The party got a little wild...... So, does anyone recognize this crazy fella? I am not a sports person, but I hear he is famous amongst College baseball fans of the Seminole variety.




And the garter toss got a little competitive....
