Karla and Ed { Savannah Wedding Photographer }

Misty DeBlasio — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 02:39:30 +0000

It looked like rain when I pulled up to meet Karla and Ed for their engagement session last Saturday. I had left my flash at home, I was determined to shoot with my 50mm 1.2 and not be tempted to pull out my flash to use as fill light so the clouds made me a bit nervous. I forgot all of that as Karla introduced me to Ed, Karla had been a bridesmaid in Lyndsay’s wedding but it was my first time meeting her sweetheart. It was quickly evident that they are very much in love and willing to have fun in front of the camera. Tonight as I sat down and began to edit the photo’s, I wanted to pull a few out to show a bit of their playfulness and the amazing light that ended up shining through the dark clouds as we explored the grounds and talked about their wedding in April. Enjoy your engagement Karla and Ed, it will be your wedding day before you know it.

Brandalyn and Matt {Effingham Engagement Photographer}

Misty DeBlasio — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 00:34:48 +0000

I am so lucky to just live minutes from downtown Savannah and be able to shoot amazing weddings and engagement sessions there, BUT I love to just go around the corner from my home and get to “do it up country style”. I moved here 18 years ago and do not take for granted the beautiful county that I live in. Brandalyn and Matt brought their boots, truck and cute southern accents and were ready to play for the camera. They are so sweet and are so laid back about their wedding this fall, they just want to be married. Enjoy.

Misty and Brad { Savannah Wedding Photographer }

Misty DeBlasio — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 03:40:53 +0000

Every girl remembers the moment that she got engaged and I am fortunate enough to get to relive this moment through a shoot such as this. Brad planned this as a surprise for Misty for quite a while. She had pretty much decided that after almost five years (next month) of being together, that they were not going to get engaged for quite some time. I casually mentioned to her that I was conducting mini-sessions on the beach and she talked Brad into it (tee hee). I cancelled it once and tried to reschedule it for October just to throw her off. We spent about half an hour shooting near a marina then headed over to the beach and they started picking up shells and there was a heart shaped one hiding there just for her. Yes, there are many other shots of them but I though I would just add a few of the “moment” here. Best Wishes to one of the sweetest couples that I know. It is a privilege to introduce Misty and Brad.

Ashley and TJ { Savannah Wedding Photographer }

Misty DeBlasio — Thu, 25 Nov 2010 02:47:17 +0000

In September I spent a couple of hours with Ashley and TJ discussing their upcoming wedding at the Belle House in Statesboro. That seemed so long ago and now it is three days away. I thought TJ was going to be very shy but he turned out to be quite the opposite and I am looking forward to this Saturday. This entire wedding party is going to be so much fun and most of them graduated from South Effingham High School together and are ready to reunite. Oh, and I have seen Ashley in her wedding dress and TJ better be ready!!!

Tori and Remi {Styled Engagement Session}

Misty DeBlasio — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 11:21:35 +0000

Victoria and Ryan, otherwise known as Tori and Remi are celebrating their wedding this weekend in Savannah. When they hired me to shoot their wedding, they had already had two beautiful engagement sessions with friends from SCAD. We went back and forth on what to do for a session and decided to just spend some time together in the gated community on Hilton Head where they live. Some of these pictures look like they were taken beside a serene pond with big live oaks but it is just steps from the main road (I stood in the street for most of the shots) during the very busy community at rush hour. There is a private beach and we were able to enjoy a few quick shots before sunset. Tori and Remi are heading to California shortly after their wedding to make a new life together in the music business and this weekend is going to be bittersweet for all of their freinds and family.

Ashley and Phillip {Savannah Wedding Photographer}

Ashley and Philip are just one week away from tying the knot. Ashley meet with her bridesmaids once a week to work on details and spend quality time together. I can’t wait to see her yellow and damask wedding at the Belle House.

Lindsay and Lee { Savannah Wedding Photographer }

After dating for 4 years, Lindsay and Lee are tying the knot in October.

Mary and Chad are engaged!!!!

Misty DeBlasio — Mon, 31 May 2010 23:55:44 +0000

Actually they are now married!! I did not post this blog after the E-shoot because I knew that Mary was doing a guestbook with her engagement pictures. If you attended the wedding, then you have seen these. If not, you missed a great time and I hope you enjoy these few shots of them in downtown Savannah. Mary is finishing her studies to become a teacher and she and Chad enjoy fishing, hence the “teacher-fisherman” pose. Weddings pics coming next.

Emily and Robert {Tybee Island Engagement Session}

Misty DeBlasio — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 02:58:45 +0000

I first met Emily and Robert at a wedding that I shot with Denise Gonsales last year. This gorgeous couple was easy to notice on the dance floor. When Emily contacted Denise about doing her wedding and Denise was booked, I was so excited that she recommended me. Everywhere I go, I run into people talking about this upcoming June wedding at Lovely lane Chapel.

Update. Emily and Robert were married on lovely St. Simons Island. Enjoy this short video of the highlights.

Christina and Mika

Misty DeBlasio — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 03:04:09 +0000

I had the pleasure of shooting with Katie Mcgee last weekend at the Mansion on Forsyth. Mika is the drummer for Filter and Christina is a gorgeous make up artist. They have been together for seven years and they and their families were ready to celebrate. The entire wedding party was so much fun and even the guys drew stares everywhere they went. Guests came from all over the globe to join them in Savannah. Christina’s mom and dad dressed up as Ricky and Lucy to entertain the couple, friends sang for them and even the bride and her sisters did the song “Sisters” for Mika. I hope these pictures show just a bit of the fun that was had by everyone, whether they were 2 or 92!!!

Suprise Elopement!!

Misty DeBlasio — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:54:09 +0000

Dave told Margaret that they would go to a courthouse to get married during their stay in Savannah but suprised her with a romantic stay at the Azalea Inn and Gardens in Savannah. The suprise included flowers, a beautiful wedding cake made by Custom Cakes, a horse and buggy ride to The Pink House for dinner and Chelsea and I to photograph the event. Even Romantic Dave did not count on the additional suprises that awaited his ceremony. The Inn’s guests watched from the windows and was invited in for cake and champaign but the biggest unplanned moment was when Judge Bazemore slipped and fell into the pool just minutes before the ceremony began. It was a romantic after-sunset wedding so the innkeeper got to hold a flashlight so the Judge could read the vows (after they were fished out of the pool). It was a fun, seet night for all. I was thrilled to be a part of it all. A video follows these few pictures.

Heather and Jason

Misty DeBlasio — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:18:54 +0000

Heather and Jason said their vows at the Avia Hotel in downtown Savannah. Their children stood with them for this sweet ceremony.

Rachael and Mark

Misty DeBlasio — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 01:29:02 +0000

This wedding was months ago but I did not have a blog then and their pictures are some of my favorites. Rachael reminded me of Julia Roberts. They booked Denise as a destination wedding and were a joy to meet on their wedding day.

Kellie and Jamison

Misty DeBlasio — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:59:29 +0000

Weddings like this are why I love being the second shooter. Perfect day and perfect couple.

Heather and Richard

Misty DeBlasio — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 03:59:13 +0000

I met with Heather about a month before her wedding and was touched by her gentle spirit. I did not get to meet Richard so what a great suprise to find him to be so much fun and easy to work with on their wedding day. Heather and Richard have been together 10 years and share a sweet love. She had sent me a picture of her beautiful vintage gown and I knew that the http://www.azaleainn.com was going to be a perfect place for the intimate ceremony. Teresa was a perfect hostess, even helping to trim the bride’s hair. The delicate rose bouquets were provided by http://peacockson37th.net/ and the simply adorned bridal cake was made by http://savannahcustomcakes.com/. Their family and friends gathered in the courtyard as the officiant and close friend, Dr. David Wilken led the ceremony. The afternoon was sweltering (yes, in October) and the sun glaring but all attention was on this couple as they repeated the vows that they had written. Richard serenaded Heather much to the delight of passerbys. A local band was playing on an adjacent street and we heard guitar playing from a home as we borrowed their steps for a few photos. As Heather told me when I had met with her, She and Richard were already married in their hearts, but this made it official. Enjoy the video of their special day.
