Last night we were invited to a beautiful party given by Joel Hurley and Dale Herring, owners of the Preston Woodall House, in Benson. It was a celebration of their 10 year anniversary in the wedding business at the historic home. What a fantastic party! We really enjoyed the gorgeous flowers provided by Lyn of Fresh Affairs. He created very dramatic, tall arrangements with cascading white orchids, crystals, peonies and roses. My favorite! There was also a beautiful cake, excellent food, wine and great music! They attached a tent to the reception room that was lit with blue lights. It looked very 'icy' with white leather couches, candles and a clear glass bar. We were excited to be able to attend the event as a guest for a change instead of working! Although, I couldn't resist bringing my camera.  I kept it simple- only one lens! Here are a few of the photos:

We are proud to be an all female photography team! So, we decided to do a photo session to represent the girls of Bella Rose Photography. We were over the photos on our website and needed to freshen things up a bit! Poor Jill wasn't even in a single photo on the website- and we can't have that! She is my number one assistant- so that just wouldn't do!

We tried out the new studio lighting up in the Apex studio and invited Wendy from Dancing Heart Photography to be our guest photographer for the day! She did an amazing job and I was so happy that she came to help us out! We couldn't have done it without her! Thank you Wendy! She made sure we looked great and spent time giving us lots of direction.

We are 'girly' girls at heart, so we decided to go for a glamorous look and a more casual look! It was so much fun! Here are the results:

Laura (Second Camera), Lisa (Lead Photographer), Jill (Photographic Assistant Extraordinaire)

I am very excited to announce that our image of our fabulous couple, Jonay and David Zies, is featured on the cover of Southern Bride and Groom Magazine. The issue will officially be out the end of May, but I have the first copies and I thought I would share our exciting news! Thanks to Donna, editor of Southern Bride and Groom Magazine, for choosing our image and passing on a few preview copies. We are thrilled with the results!
