Jeannie and Stephan

Jeannie and Stephan had a beautiful, intimate, destination wedding in Pensacola recently. Stephan and his family came in from Germany while Jeannie made the trip from Houston. The ceremony was at Little Flower Catholic Church with reception following at their awesome beach house they called home for the week. Here's a little look into their big day!

Ms Gabby is almost 1

Little Ms Gabby is about to turn one, and what better time for a Spring portrait session. She is the cutest isn't she?







Sometimes the unhappy ones are just as cute as the smiley ones....

Hilary and Evan on the beach!

This is Hilary and Evan!! They live in Virginia, but are getting married in Pensacola during the summer. Hilary is the cousin of one of my BEST clients....Carnley you know who you are! Their family is so awesome. They always make us feel like part of the family. We are excited to see what details their wedding will feature. I see some kicking shoes in Hilary's future!

Beautiful Las Vegas

I have finally processed a few images from Las Vegas last week. I love Vegas.... not for the gambling, the great shows, not even the food (because we all know how much I love good food). I love to just look and photograph. Rae and I would go out at night just visiting different casinos and photographing colorful or interesting sights. Here are a few....

This is a chandelier in a mall... Each one of those crystals are strung individually from the ceiling to form a ball. It's 10x as amazing in person.


The lobby to Caesar's Palace Casino....


Looking down the strip. That Eiffel Tower is the Paris Hotel and Casino where we stayed...


The beautiful Bellagio water show most famous from the closing scene of Ocean's Eleven....


Our last day, while everyone else was headed for the airport, we decided to catch a midnight flight so we could spend the day at Zion National Park in Utah. Just to get a perspective for these giant rock formations, all of the little green specs you see on the side of these mountains are pretty large trees.




Look at the peak on the right, and on the top you'll see trees dotting the surface.

We're Back (Sort of)

Okay! If you're here you've found us. 5 days after our blog crash we are finally making some headway. A new hosting company has been hired and some kinks are being tweaked. I have to transfer all of the images from the previous blog and reset the html codes which is why only the first 5 or so posts are showing photos. The rest will be finished as time permits. So.... to sum it up if you visit over the next week and the site is down, it may just be temporary to make some adjustments. You can always try going through our main website at www.raeleytham.com and click on the main blog link. If I have to use any temporary addresses, I will link to this blog from that!

Abby & Josh

We have known this family for years and we were so excited when we found out Abby was getting married. They had a beautiful wedding at the Mobile Botanical Gardens which is probably our favorite place to photograph in Mobile. Abby, you were absolutely stunning.....



Finishing up some last minute details....




How about a couple of group shots this time......
















This veil was just unbelievably beautiful......

The best topper for a groom's cake I have seen.....
