One of my favorite images. Doesn’t he look so serious? This was the very last image we took at the session and I think he was just about done.

2009 Schedule
January 18, 2009 – 12:05 pm
Solais Photography will be accepting a limited number of wedding commissions this year. As of right now (unless someone makes us an offer we can’t refuse!), we will photograph only 20 weddings for 2009. Currently we are booked for 3 dates – so that leaves 17 available. If you are considering contracting with Solais for your wedding, please contact us as soon as possible.
Portrait sessions for families and children are available now. We’re planning a few special sessions this year, as well as a few sessions to help support our favorite charities, and a handful of give-aways and gifts.
We’re looking forward to a great 2009 with our clients!
Venues | Barnsley Gardens Resort
January 13, 2009 – 1:47 pm
One of the things I want to keep up with more this year is creating collages for all the wonderful venues that I get to photograph. Here’s my first two for the totally cool Barnsley Gardens up in Adairsville, GA. I photographed the rehearsal dinner on Friday and the wedding on Saturday – both were gorgeous.
Ocean at Twilight
January 10, 2009 – 11:56 am
Last year I photographed a wedding on the Florida coast. Right about twilight, I stepped outside and took a series of photos of the beach, panning back and forth, using motion and a long exposure to create impressionistic images of the blending of sand, sea, and sky. This is my favorite of those images. I’m thinking about having it printed on canvas to hang somewhere in my house. In the meanwhile, I’ll share it with all of you, here.
Portraits | T Family
January 9, 2009 – 10:49 pm
It was an honor and a privilege to photograph the T family at Stone Mountain on Christmas Day 2008. It was an overcast and chilly day, but Darlene + Junior, their children, and their adorable grandson John Patrick were so easy to work with and so sweet to have me as part of their day. Thank y’all and I hope you had a wonderful time together!

Details | Bouquets
January 8, 2009 – 1:18 pm
I love flowers of all kinds and colors and shapes. I love bright spring colors, I love roses, I love lilies, I love exotic orchids, and I love the simplicity of daisies. If I could fill my home with fresh flowers every day, I would. Unfortunately I have neither the budget or the green thumb neccesary to grow all the variety of flowers I’d love to have around. Maybe that’s one reason that I enjoy photographing weddings so much – I get to experience the most gorgeous flowers arranged by some of the most talented florists ever. But enough about me. Let’s take a look my favorites, out of the huge variety of bouquets I’ve gotten to photograph in the last year or so.
Married | Cindy + Lee
January 4, 2009 – 5:12 pm
Cindy + Lee celebrated their wedding and reception at the City Grill in the Hurt Bldg. Cindy did an amazing job with the colors and the decor and Lee, as a Chef, made sure the food was amazing.
Details | Flowers
December 27, 2008 – 12:30 am
To fill in during this slow time I thought I’d blog some of my favorite detail images from the past year or so. I love the details of a wedding – the things that brides and grooms put thought into, spend time and money on, and that really show their personalities.
The first one is from a wedding in Coconut Grove, FL. I loved these purple-pink hydrangea balls that were hung from the “ceiling” of a wooden structure by the pool.
