Memphis Wedding Reception! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Photographer

This is Kristi (spelled just like me...that doesn't happen often) and Phillip. They were married on a beautiful carribean island and had their reception back in Memphis at the Chickasaw Village shopping center. It was beautiful with the ornate way the building is set up and they had lots of friends come and wish them well in their marriage. Kristi is such a sweetie...after she got her photographs she said she loved the ones of the food. I've gotten that before....for some reason I love photographing tasty treats and they always look so yummy...so that's why there are several of the great food there! Their friends and family were a blast and I think the reception was beautiful. Have a look for yourself....

Destination Wedding Winners!

Meet Allison and Chad! These guys are the winners of the destination wedding give away that we held earlier this year! You can expect to see some images of their wedding in early October! They were such great sports and got up at the crack of dawn to do their engagement shoot. It was still hot, but not as bad quite so bad cause it was early. Anyways, here are a few of the shots that I got of them!
