Ive moved!!

Hi there!!

I have moved!! Go see my new blog at http://hilarymercer.com/.

Its way more cool than this one is.

Photography contest

Usually I don't enter contests but I figured "Why not!" I like contests where you win based on your actual photo not on how many votes you can get. But this one combines the two, you vote first to get put into the "judging" category and the people with the highest amount of votes can get put into the winning category from there. Anyway, this is my photo.

So my friends, take a look at the others and see if you like mine better. If so, give me a little vote. 

You can vote once per day. :)

You can go here: http://myairforcelife.com/

Or if the link works correctly here, http://myairforcelife.com/contests/photos.cfm

My photo is #597

By the way- if youre waiting to see your photos they will be up soon. Im waiting til my new blog is up to post anything. It will be worth the wait I assure you!

Thanks for voting!

Its good to be home!

Wow! Ive had an incredibly busy month and its only the 11th! I have been back from my work-vacation in Pensacola for a little under a week and Ive finally been able to relax and get back to normal. Although since Neil was gone as well our grass was unkept and weeds are invading our sad little flower gardens. So I must get to that soon. While I was in Pensacola I was able to meet and spend some good times with a lot of awesome people. Thanks for trusting me in your memories. Here's a little sample of what Ive been doing since the end of May. Also this is going to be one of the last posts on this blog here as I'm having a new one designed especially for me and its almost ready! These will be blogged in order as they are here so keep a look out!

Eileen & Wade are MARRIED! | Birmingham Wedding Photographer

You might remember Eileen and Wade from their engagement session in the Walt Disney hotels back in February. Well they got married a few days ago in Birmingham, Alabama (Wade's hometown.) I couldnt share her bridals until the big day so that way her dress would be a surprise so here are a few of my favorites.

Now on to their big day!

 They got married in the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.

They had an underlying Star Wars themed wedding.

Her garter :)

Eileen made these bracelets for her bridesmaids

Now for the reception details! 

Eileen & Wade- I hope you're having a blasty blast on your cruise! Thank you so much for letting Leslie and I be part of your day.

a little preview for Arwen

Yay! More will be up soon but I didn't want to leave town without a little teaser for you. Good luck on your move tomorrow!

Im off to Birmingham to shoot a wedding. :)
