Book Lover

Have I ever told you that I love to read? Like really, really love it.... I read anywhere from 3-5 books a month...

I wanted to tell you about the book I just finished... Loving Frank by Nancy Horan. Frank Lloyd Wright was a huge architect in the early 1800's. He is still regarded as one of the greatest architests ever. Anyway... he met with a couple to discuss designing a house for them. He and the wife of the couple fell in love with each other. They were both married with kids.... it was such a huge scandal at the time. The book is written from his mistress' side - its a historical fiction. It was so good, yall.

The ending totally left me breathless. It was so fantastical that immediately after I got finished reading the book, I did some research to see if it was true... it was.

I finished it in 2 1/2 days... I couldnt put it down.... and even better, it wasnt lewd or vulgar or anything. I appreciate when an author doesnt have to resort to trash - the truth is that good.

Next up is Drowning Ruth by Christina Schwartz.

I also have been wanting to read The Hunger Games but cant find a copy... anyone have a copy I can borrow?

Give me some suggestions for my next book? Anything you love or just hated?

Ahhhh... and just because every post needs a picture... here is one from our trip to Hong Kong

Hope yall have a great week... more pics soon!

Ann & Michael - the wedding! Columbus MS Photographer

This is the wedding that Ive been saving forever... its that good!

How do you get a photographer really, really excited?
- tell them that you want to do a first look and all the pictures before the wedding
- tell them that they can have as much time for pictures as they want
- have the wedding in a gorgeous park an hour before sunset... in the fall, when the weather is perfect

- and then make the bride and groom (heck, the whole wedding party) beautiful and really fun to be around.... yeah, pretty much a dream wedding... with that being said, there is no way that these pics can be done justice if they arent viewed full size (click on them) - just saying....

Ok, go ahead and prepare yourself.... :)

The flowers were so pretty!




If youve been to http://www.talleyimages.com/ lately, then you'll recognize this one... love it!

Love this one quiet moment among all the chaos.


sweet picture with her dad

Oh my goodness... Ann was stunning... no words...






I have been wanting this shot for so long... :)





I still cant get over how amazing the light was!


Check out the reflection in the window






The first look.... always the most magical part














Again... how gorgous is this light?!!!





And the wedding starts....The groom is right on time...
I love how I was the only one who knew the bride was there...
Ah.... one of the best ideas Ive ever seen..... all the moms and grandmothers wore black pants and a jewel-tone top... so gorgeous and chic.... and easy!

You have to click on this one to see what all the fuss is about... :)
















Oh, did I mention that the reception was in an old converted theater? Yeah...















Ann and Michael, my feelings cant even put into words how much I adore yall and your wedding... it was such an amazing experience - I cant believe I got to be there to capture it all... Yall are amazing - I hope you know that!
