All About Weddings Show

Wow - what a day! It was great to have an opportunity to visit with all of you in a MUCH MORE RELAXED setting than the last show. We talked to dozens of brides, one on one and hopefully answered your wedding photography questions. We were next to the fabulous, fun stylists at His & Hers Salon on S. Franklin, Cinda and her crew at the Branson Ridge Winery and Normans Bridal. We took some time out to photograph the Normans models as they did their stuff on the runway. The dresses at Normans are AMAZING. Check them out online by clicking here. It's a ton of work to do the bridal shows, but it's worth it to get to meet each of you. You're each special, beautiful and unique. We look forward to sharing your wedding day.

We Won! We Won!

Once again Apple took top honors in the juried Ozark Empire photography competition. Craig won Grand Champion for the best black and white photograph entered in any category -- "Steel Guarijio" taken in the village of El Barro, Chihuahua, Mexico. Ann Heidemann took top honors in the graphic design section for her Sand Dollar beach photograph with a moving John F. Kennedy quote. Out of thirteen entries, ten of the Heidemann's photographs placed first, second or third. In the Professional division, their San Francisco series took second place in architecture, and third place in nature/sky/weather. Ann's visceral San Francisco street scene garnered second place in the b/w city category. Craig took first in b/w people, second in digital nature, second in transportation (his Favorite!), second in photos with manipulated colors (go Abby!) and third in graphic photos w/text taken at the Missouri Veteran’s Cemetery. Thanks to all of you who shared your congratulations with us. We appreciate it very much.
