Alabama

Last weekend Mark and I attended the wedding of a fellow photojournalist-turned-wedding-photographer, Dave Cone, and Rachel Davis in Monroeville, Alabama. We ended up shooting a little bit as well, to help out our friends - and official photographers - Jen Sens and Eric Larson. Monroeville's claim to fame is that it produced Harper Lee and Truman Capote, both of whom grew up there and were great friends. Dave and Rachel had their wedding ceremony in the Monroe County Courthouse, which is the courtroom that Harper Lee used as her model for the courtroom in "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Here are a few of our shots from the weekend:

Jen Sens gets ready for the ceremony.


Eric Larson is one of the most stylish men I know - even when working.





Dave was extremely emotional during the ceremony. I love the huge smile he flashed after composing himself.


Photographers can never resist a big cowboy hat, especially when worn with a suit.



I love this shot Mark got of Rachel swirling her veil around. It kept getting in her way. She was met with wild applause when she finally jerked it out of her hair and tossed it on a table.


A little after-party back at the hotel.

Oh, and I love the one of my uncle Robert Earl. (He's the one in the cowboy hat!)

That shadow shot is pretty sweet. The cowboys expression is also very subtle and memorable.
