New Blog Soon

Well, after trying to move our blog to a new server since the big crash back in March, I realized I was doing things the hard way, trying to make a square into a circle so to speak. So we decided to spice things up a bit and just get a whole new blog! We will hopefully have raeleytham.net back online in the next few days, but in the meantime, you will be able to find this blog through our main website. You will also notice that all of the broken links prior to March have now been fixed and updated for our previous clients trying to find their event. Thanks for your patience. It will be worth the wait!!!

Allyson and Kethan at the Hilton

What do you get when you combine the Pensacola Beach Hilton, Bliss Event Group, and a full moon? Well, one heck of a party you'll have to scroll down to see. We also saw one of our 2006 couples there....Hey Julia & Greg! The weather was perfect and it was a nice day for a wedding.

Nothing says beach wedding like a little COLOR!






Steel drums anyone?


















There's nothing like a moon rising on the beach...








Did I mention there was a chocolate fountain?


There was even a father/daughter slideshow during their dance...


And finally some Betty Weber cake!

Rachel & Jason Got Married!

Most local clients book us after coming in for a consultation and looking through our albums and goodies. Not Rachel. She knew what kind of photographer she wanted and when she saw our website, she knew we were the ones for her! She chose her wedding date based on our availability. How awesome is that?! Can you believe that Rachel booked us over the phone and email and she worked only 2 miles from us?! She just loved what she saw and we are glad she chose us. Jason is in the Coast Guard and stationed in West Virginia, so we didn't get to meet him until the week of the wedding. We were happy to see that he was as sweet and kind as Rachel!! They got married at a church in the small community of Wallace, north of Pace, FL. Their reception followed at the historic Imogene Theater in Milton. It was a wonderfully relaxed day and both families were amazing. We are so lucky to meet such wonderful people!

The beautiful bride...




We actually found this field with an old abandoned house across the street from the church. IT made for a stunning backdrop....


Nothing like a man in uniform!


The girls were so cute that we had to include them....great dresses!


A little Bling....


Here we go....


Jason's dad performed the ceremony so his mom and two sisters got to admire two men that day...








This was actually a field down the road that we saw driving to the church. I made sure we stopped for some photos on the way to the reception. I think these next two are my favorites of the day.

Rachel's Bridals at Eden

This past weekend was the wedding of this cutie, Rachel and Jason. Here are some images from her bridal session at Eden State Gardens in South Walton County from back in February. This is a great location for portraits and weddings if anyone is looking for a venue. Look for their blog posting in a couple of days!

Jennifer and Nathan in Mobile Updated

Jennifer and Nathan had a beautiful wedding in Mobile last week with the ceremony at Dauphin Way United Methodist followed by the reception at the classy Bragg Mitchell Mansion. The morning weather was a total washout, but the rain stopped in time for outside photos which was a welcome sight...... You will notice these two in our new ad campaign featured in Southern Wedding Style Magazine and Emerald Coast Weddings found in a bookstore near you.



I caught the maid of honor (Jennifer's sister) getting ready.


Such a beautiful setting at the Bragg Mitchell










Mobile's churchs are VERY traditional, so we had to stay in the balcony..


But we made up for it afterward ;-)












Now that's a spread!






Pink cake anyone?


This little girl could not wait to get the first slice!


Jennifer's dad took it upon himself to help with the garter!
