Here’s my sweet little Blake…he was born way too early, but you wouldn’t know it now! He recently celebrated his first birthday where his destiny appears to be an airplane pilot! His grandfather built this really cool airplane that Blake’s mom brought to the studio…isn’t it incredible? We had a great time celebrating Blake’s birthday! Here’s one of my most favorite photos from the session…watch the video to see Blake’s numerous outfit changes including his baptism cap and gown!

Up, Up, and Away!

Emily and Caleb had one of the most personal and sentimental weddings I’ve witnessed…they were married in the chapel where her maternal grandparents had started Wilson Chapel United Methodist Church. The chapel is called The Little Sistine Chapel and is simply beautiful as you can see by this photo…
Emily and Caleb Corwin
Their officiant was flown in by Caleb’s parents–he is the same pastor who married Caleb’s parents nearly thirty years ago. They integrated a German tradition called “warming of the rings” where the family of the groom passed along Emily’s wedding band, and the family of the bride passed along Caleb’s band…family member to family member until the rings were finally passed to the officiant who blessed them before they exchanged rings.
It was a sweet and beautiful wedding; at the same time, Emily and Caleb’s friends and family are so much fun! I’m sure you’ll enjoy the video of their wedding highlights…everyone seemed to have a great time. Brandy Spears of Brandy Spears Catering did an outstanding job with the flowers and food; Glenn of Magic Muffins “wowed” everyone with his cakes; James Meredith of Coats Classic Cars made sure Emily and Caleb were delivered to Matt Jones Gallery and then to their hotel in high style with “Helen” the elegant Rolls; and Joe with Feel the Beat made sure everyone had a good time on the dance floor.
At Gretchen B Photography, our team is privileged to capture the images that ultimately are the bride and groom’s first family heirloom…we appreciate the fact that there are many talented photographers in the Birmingham area and are happy to have been chosen by Emily and Caleb to be their photographers!

Last Saturday, we had the great pleasure and honor of photographing Santa and one of his elves at LaReunion Coffee Cafe in Helena. This is our second year, and we were excited about the number of children who came to see Santa. Santa was terrific with all the kids and did everything to make sure each of them had a good experience with him. Check out the slideshow we put together with a few of the images. (If the video stops/starts, just pause it so it can load before you play it.) Enjoy and please plan to join us next year!

On October 7, 2011, Chad and Angela were married in a small intimate ceremony at Holt Baptist Church. The reception was also held at the church. The bride’s aunt helped with many of the decorations including the amazing candy bar!

Another very fun addition to to this non-traditional, traditional wedding was the addition of Angela and Chad’s dog for a photo or two…very handsome tux, I might add!

Check out their wedding highlights video…Angela’s take on “something blue” was a pair of Converse; she and her bridesmaids all wore very fun, colorful socks. Chad’s socks matched Angela’s shoes. Very fun and unique wedding!
