Sorry for the photo not filling in the width of the post box, flickr is being lame and won't give me a bigger size. But you know who isn't lame, Brittany Ragon, she was one beautiful and classy bride. John, her husband, is one lucky guy. There are so many more photos to come. Special thanks to Sarah Patch for helping me out.
Here are some engagement photos of Melinda and David. They are getting married six months to the day that they met. I knew Melinda from college, she has become the fake big sister I never had growing up. So, it's a real honor to shoot their engagement photos and their upcoming wedding on Oct. 9th.

This quote can basically summarize my saturday morning. When the call I got from my editor friday night started with "okay...so I'm going to have to give you a pep talk for Saturday." I knew it was going to be a long day. In short, a bunch of key stories for the weekend fell through at the last minute, except my 7:30 am assignment (lucky me). I was reassigned to a redistricting story (which was a bunch of people crammed in a small room starting at another person talking, not visually exciting) and then left to feature hunt in DeSoto County.
I quickly ran through the Hernando Farmers Market and found the two girls munching on cupcake cones between the 7:30 am race story and the redistricting meeting, but felt I needed one more image. I heard a rumor of a car wash for St. Jude going on at an Advance Auto parts, but it was untrue as I checked every store in the area. They had no idea of any carwash. I decided last minute to meander over to Olive Branch and saw some boy scouts holding these flaming signs of "Chicken" and "Butts." Though I knew butts meant pork meat, it was still kind of funny to see a boy waving a "Butts" sign at passing cars. So I pulled over and got my second feature. Scary thing was that I've been shooting in DeSoto long enough now some of the scouts recognized me. Finally, at 12:30 I made my way back home to edit and transmit. Definitely one of my crazier saturdays.
