{Hunter & Mallory}

Lydia — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 04:16:27 +0000

What can I say about Mallory and Hunter? They are two of the sweetest most wonderful people I have ever met. I couldn’t resist shooting their wedding. Everything about it was amazing, their friends, family, and the two of them. I knew I was in trouble when Mallory’s brother made a toast and I cried at the rehearsal dinner. The emotions of the day were beautiful and Mallory and Hunter couldn’t be more wonderful together. And besides that they are two of the best looking people I know!

Talk about a GORGEOUS bridal party!

Mallory’s dress was amazing. She was an breath-taking bride.

I don’t know what it is about this image, but this is one of my favorite pictures I’ve ever taken.

Classic elegance.

They decided to do a first look. I love how you can feel the emotion even without seeing their faces.

It had been raining all morning, but the weather cleared up enough for us to shoot outside.

Love it!

Seriously. These two are beautiful.

I love how they made their getaway with sparklers.

One of my favorite pictures of ALL TIME.

Check back tomorrow for the second half of their wedding post. I just couldn’t fit it all in one blog post!

{What’s this season called Fall?}

Lydia — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 17:47:43 +0000

Okay, so Florida girl here, has not seen too much of this season they call Fall. Last week, Lee asked me what it was like in Florida and I replied saying, “What’s Fall?” Maybe not quite but I had to tell her that Florida doesn’t really have Fall… we pretty much have Summer, Summer, One day of what we consider winter which would be hot to the rest of the world, and then more Summer (yep, those are our 4 seasons). I’ve been places and seen the leaves change but it hasn’t been since I was a little girl. This was breath-taking. So of course, I HAD to make a video of it. Shot on my iPhone.

Here are some of the pictures that I took. Shot with… duh.. my iPhone!

Leaves and the ever gorgeous, Leeann Marie! Pretty impressed with this shot, if I do say so myself.

We decided to do a little impromptu photo shoot. I LOVE these two images Lee shot of me.

I guess I better get all the shots of my hair blowing in the wind while I still can!

Shocker, I’m being silly.

We still have two more days of craziness coming… so stay tuned!

{Esther’s Amazing Wedding}

Lydia — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 22:20:24 +0000

I have to say when Esther invited me to her wedding, I could not stop smiling. We’ve only been friends since February, but it feels like a forever type of friendship. Esther is not only gorgeous, talented, creative, and wonderful, but she is also one of the sweetest and kind hearted people you will ever meet. The kind of person that makes rooms light up when she is present. I hadn’t met Jesse until the wedding, but I knew by the way Esther spoke of him that he would be wonderful too. And he didn’t disappoint. I know Esther will be well taken care of and loved with Jesse by her side.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention this. I was standing around at the reception when a bridesmaid walked up and asked if I was Lydia. Then she handed me a sweetly wrapped like package from none other than the BRIDE. Esther had went out of her way on her wedding to make me feel special. She gave me the most beautiful flower to put in my hair. I wore it proudly the rest of the night. THAT is the kind of person Esther is. I am honored that I was invited to her wedding and I feel extremely privileged to call her my friend.

I didn’t take too many photos at the wedding because I didn’t need to with Scarlett Lillian and Kerri McConnell there capturing every moment. So I decided I would take pictures with one of my new favorite cameras, my iPhone. There are all shot with the hipstamatic app.

I wanted to make sure I shot footage for my 7×7. This 11 second video pretty much sums Esther and I up!

Every detail was just perfect. That’s my beautiful flower from Esther.

I am going to get a headband and wear the big flower on my bald head. I can’t wait.

I love how these two shots came out. The vintage look works perfectly.

They looked so happy together.

Now here is my FAVORITE image. Wow… I love it so much!

Congratulations Esther and Jesse. I can’t wait to see you the end of October!

{Holy Huge Fish}

Lydia — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 03:01:52 +0000

Today I drove down to the Florida keys with my family. We decided to make a pit stop at Robbie’s to feed the tarpon. I have been there quite a few times, but I’ve never wanted to actually pick up the bait (aka dead gross fish) and feed it to humongous hungry tarpon. But today I decided to push my fears aside and do it in the name of daily videoblogging. WOW am I glad I did. This video was totally worth it!

Here’s a shot I took of an old bridge using my hipstamatic app on the iPhone.
