Heather and Kevin

We had the honor of shooting Heather and Kevin's Toad Valley wedding. Toad Valley Golf Course is probably our favorite place to shoot weddings and/or receptions. If you are looking for a spot for your wedding and/or reception contact Allison today. The staff is amazing and they let us get to some great locations for photos. Including some tough terrain, which I'll explain.


The day started out a bit wet with rain covering the state. However, the rain cleared and everything dried up just in time for the outdoor ceremony and outdoor photos. For the photographers out there we shoot the formal photos outside using 2 AlienBee 800's with a VegaBond mini-lithium to power them. Only to find out that a power outlet was about 20 feet away. Close enough for our 50 foot extension cord to reach. It was pretty windy so we used three 15lb sand bags on each light stand.


Allison of Toad Valley told us we could take a few golf carts and head back into some of the back areas of the golf courses land. There were trees, tall grass, paths, and open space. We were able to shoot quite a bit in this area and then decided to head a little further. I took off leading the way only to get slowed by the mud created by the morning rain. The bride and groom were in tow and I was throwing mud up like a monster truck. Luckily I DID NOT hit the bride, threw it in reverse and headed back the way from which I came. A good story to tell now, not so much when I thought I was covering the bride in mud in ways no cartoon has ever seen.


Rain on your wedding is suppose to be good luck but it is easy to see that Heather and Kevin won't need it. They are truly happy and we could not be happier to have been a part of their big day. Congratulations Heather and Kevin!
