Linville w/ Lacey. Roadtrip!

Mark Turner — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 22:07:00 +0000

I’m an idiot. Saturday I got up at 6, left about 8:15 for Linville NC where I was shooting with Lacey Gadwill at Grace & Jonathan’s wedding. After the wedding I got the crazy idea to drive on home, instead of staying at the hotel Lacey had reserved for me. It was a LONG drive. I stopped for food & coffee at Huddle House, after not eating anything since those CFA biscuits first thing in the morning. Then I stopped for gas & coffee. Later I stopped for coffee. Then later again for donuts & more coffee. I got in about 4:30 and was asleep about 4:31. I had a ball at the wedding though. It was at the All Saints Episcopal Mission in Linville, with the getting ready going on at the Linville B&B and the Henley Inn. The reception was lakeside with Grandfather Mountain in the distance. Here’s a few images form my stuff…
First we have Lacey, getting it done.

Then the wedding.

That’s See You In The Halls.

We had about 200 kids there to “celebrate” going back to school.

It was the first performance for our brand new student band. Curry Phillips, Sam Camp, Dustin Brown, Joe Camp, and Steven Starr did a great job, and we’ll be hearing more from them I hope. Abby Cook, Hannah Goolsby, Ashton Bray all did a good job with the vocals. We have some serious talent at FBCJ.

A few from the week.

I spent some time this week in Eatonton at Jennifer Collins’ Studio. Has anyone noticed it’s HOT!!?? And these were outside.

The Richard Family.

I spent about 3 hours with this wonderful family a couple of weeks ago. They were together for a family reunion, with family from Maine, Connecticut, and Texas gathered in Senoia at Pat and Ed’s home. Pat and Ed are the one’s responsible for this group. They have apparently done a great job of raising kids that are now grown and raising their kids. Ed has been sick for a while, and this was a time for everyone to gather, reminisce, and enjoy one another. Just a few faves from the day. I ended up with over 300 images, and had a hard time editing to just about 90 for the family to view.

The Lawrimore Family.

Last Saturday I photographed the Lawrimore family, down in Haralson. They have a beautiful place, and a great family. I also did a mini senior session with their Granddaughter Lauren. A few from the day.

Vive Mexico! Or something like that.

I’m not sure I explained why we went to Mexico in the first place. June 29th was the 25th anniversary for Allyson and I, and I wanted to do something special for her. BUt June was packed. We were in Tennessee for 8 days with the Frontline choir, and then Sarah and I were in Daytona for 5 days with our HS youth. So I planned a surprise trip for Allyson and I to beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It’s on the Pacific coast in the Bay of Banderas. The hotel was awesome. It was a 2 story open air lobby, with a huge parrot cage and some great art. Tile floors everywhere. Brick paths throughout the property, line with coconut trees, and others. A reflection pool in the garden area. Very nice. Some random pics from our trip –
