Good Morning from the Grand Floridian

Sometimes it's nice to take pictures of anything! This morning we enjoyed a sunrise and we were "working" and location scouting! I couldn't help but be inspired!!

EXPANDING OUR REACH :)

What? No! Really? That's right, Thirteenth Moon has officially begun our advertising in Coastal Georgia (love them peaches) and my great home state of O-H-I-O!! Who's to say we have to stay in one place? But with all of our travel plans, friends and family in Ohio and some already booked weddings (WOOT! WOOT!) we've decided to see how the Buckeyes take to our photography style!

Anyone that knows me, knows I'm a proud buckeye...born and raised and even though I've made my life in Florida my roots are strong up North! We're excited about traveling and I'm so home sick most of the Fall/Winter I could use a few gigs up North to calm my nerves!

But don't forget Georgia!! Well, it's soooo close for us and I'm not going to stop until I'm completely NATIONAL...but we have connections in Savannah which make the visit that much sweeter! So we're looking forward to booking some "destination" weddings (for us)!!

Keep an eye out for us.... we'll be there soon!!!

Much Love,

Rachel & Bill

Most Wicked Cool Flower EVER!!

Hey Friends, Family and Brides-to-be...

We hope you all had a beautiful and memorable Fourth of July! Bill and I strolled through our little town, Avalon Park eating cotton candy and browsing the great vendors! What a great "old-fashioned" time! We watched some of the local dance studio kids dance their butts off near Town Square, a bike parade filled with wacky and patriotic participants and a good ole' hot dog eating contest! During our stroll down Avalon Park Boulevard we slipped into a comfy air conditioned floral shop right in downtown Avalon Park, so befittingly name 'Avalon Park Florist'! The shop is beautifully decorated and filled with good vibes! I'm all about happy faces and bright colors, and both were abundant here! I introduced myself as a "wedding photographer" and told them I was blown away by their presentation! When I told them of my love of the eccentric and funky I was handed the coolest tye-dyed rose I'd ever seen! It was explained to me that the roses are not dyed...they are grown this way!

The feat of awesome engineering had me drooling! They thanked me by GIVING me one of these roses which I happily displayed in my hand as we walked through town. I was approached by numerous people asking me where I got such a cool, funky flower...I pointed and said "the new florist down there...go check them out!"

So THANK YOU AVALON PARK FLORIST for your gift and for giving me an awesome subject to photograph! To all of our cool and oh-so-funky and original brides-to-be they are definitely worth a visit via in person or the world wide web!!
