4pm wedding. 5:30pm dinner. Home by 7.
We’ve shot 400+ weddings together. This is the FIRST one without cameras in-hand in over a decade.

One year ago today.
On this night last year, I was attempting to make a video explaining the very little I knew about the heart diagnosis that I received that morning. That picture is a screen shot of that afternoon.
A few hours earlier, after routine tests, I was told by doctors that my heart was essentially dead with almost no function from my left ventricle. The next 24 hours consisted of a defibrillator vest, a double heart catheterization, a new medicine regimen and lots of tears (mainly from my family, not me. 😉) Acute Systolic Heart Failure. EF 14%.
From that day, until last Tuesday, I lived a very normal life, with the exception of a pacemaker that was implanted in June. The only difference is that I lived with full awareness that heart disease was likely a part of my life for the foreseeable future, and likely the rest of my life until an inevitable transplant.
A year ago today, every moment became more precious.
A year ago today, Jesus reclaimed His proper position in my life.
A year ago today, I learned what it meant to surrender to His plan and to seek only the things He wanted me to know, rather than try to figure out the “why”.
The only answer He gave me…”Know that I love you, I am in control and I have a plan.”
A week ago today, at my 6-month checkup, all I heard Him say to me was, “See?”.
He knew that was all I needed to know.
Today, March 6, 2024…my heart has healed almost completely…in more ways than one.
Modern medicine is pretty great. Jesus, on the other hand, heals hearts. I know this full well.

This kid spent the majority of his 4th birthday today at his sister‘s birthday party. The idea was that we would have both of their parties on the same day.Ultimately, we ended up having to move his party until tomorrow. He took it like a champ.
This kid loves life and has such an energetic joy. He gets out of bed (most) every day, on the right side of the bed. I love the season of life that his life brought back to our life. I am so thankful to the Lord for this kid.
Bryce is 4 today, and it doesn’t seem real.

A decade.
No cliché parent comments about “this day sneaking up on me”.
No, this day walked right up, shook my hand, and then punched me square in the mouth.
Kind of like the day she was born.

Thankful for 2023.

We aren’t fans of staged photos. So, this is how we make a staged moment, an unstaged one. It’s much more entertaining.

This one took us a minute, but exudes a level of patience that (especially) the two guys on the right end DO NOT.

This wedding.
Say what you want about “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life”….the best song from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack was Patrick Swayze’s “She’s Like The Wind”.
Eric Carmen’s “Hungry Eyes” was a close second, for the record.

Well, they did it. It has been an unbelievable 2 weeks. Not a better group of girls (and families) on earth. The Spain Park Lady Jags are Alabama 7A State Soccer Champs!!! Wish I knew everyone’s Instagrams, but tag yourself in the comments! .soccer

If the stars align and the bride is wearing puffy sleeves AND there is an 80s/maybe early 90s prom background (disguised as a cheesy Mother’s Day church photo backdrop) in the same room where the wedding party is waiting for the ceremony…you do what is awesomely predictable.

There’s a lot more to this picture than it may seem. This was yesterday. This was what half of our Saturdays have looked like the better part of 13 years. She and I, sharing in the biggest day of a couple’s life.
Sometimes, on those Saturdays, our kids have really big days too. Like yesterday…our daughter and the Spain Park Lady Jags Soccer team advanced to the semi-finals of the Alabama High School State Playoffs. It’s a trade-off that isn’t always easy, but no matter where she is, she is fully THERE and invests into those around her.
And the one thing that stays consistent through it all…she makes the experience, for whoever she is with, significantly better. Her attention to detail and ability to work through and implement my “big picture” idea is what makes us a great team.
I love her more than life. Without her, I’d miss a lot of the important stuff.
Go and congrats to an incredible couple and and Happy Mother’s Day to …my favorite person ever.

Saturday.
Wake up.
Snow on the ground.
Beautiful sunshine 30 mins later.
Snow gone.
Sun out.
30 degrees.
His two-year-old mind can’t comprehend why he’s inside.

Trying to find words to describe the wedding of and and all I can come up with is March 5, 2022 will be one that we will remember for a very long time.
outdoes himself every time. This was no exception. More (much more) of this wedding to come.

I intended to write a post that paralleled the significance of a newborn baby, of salvation, and of adoption with the season of Christmas. Instead, I thought it more appropriate to simply share a few photos from one that embodies all of it.
This is The Gattis family. 7 years after photographing their wedding, they invited me into their home to be a part of something just as significant.
This Christmas, this little dude officially joined their family…and the story connecting them is a picture of what Christmas is all about…not only did this baby change THEIR lives; they changed the narrative on this kid’s life forever.

It was the kind of day you want at the farm.
Rain, wind, mud and all. It held off long enough to make this wedding one we won’t ever forget. Congrats to our friends, The Pates!!

12 out of 14 eyes looking at the camera. We’ll chalk it up as a victory. Happy Thanksgiving from The Ingram fam.

If they only knew how much fun we had being a part of this weekend, they would get married every single Saturday.

On WHY WE SHOOT WEDDINGS.
This is the time of year when we seem to be the busiest. The busiest with work. With kids. With family. With checklists. With a lot of important things. With a lot of fleeting things, too.
Because of all that, this is the time of the year that we forget. We forget that the moment that we are in won’t ever come back around. We worry about tomorrow, forgetting that today may indeed have trouble of it’s own, but it also has blessings beyond measure.
That is why we shoot weddings. In essence, they are as significant to a family as Thanksgiving. We get to be a part of your family for the most thankful day of your life. We get to see it nearly every weekend. We don’t take that for granted.
The families, the couples, the circumstances…they change. Sometimes, over the span of many years. Sometimes, things look different before the first anniversary.
Unfortunately, it happens more than we wish that it would. We are approached by a bride, groom or family member to send some photographs of a particular loved one. It’s a bittersweet service knowing that they are likely needed to honor someone who has left their earthly home.
This is why we shoot weddings. We shoot them because we love being a part of your family. Sometimes, it’s just for one day. And sometimes, we feel like we become lifelong family members from the moment we meet. There is no example more relevant than this one right here.
The final image in this post is the last image we ever took of Steve Denney. We were supposed to take family pictures for years to come of Steve and his family. He treated and I like family and kept in touch for weeks after and got married. But God’s ultimate plan for Steve and his incredible family was much different than any of them expected it to be. Instead, remembering the legacy of his life began 10 months after these images were taken. These hugs mean more than they ever thought possible.
This is why we shoot weddings. Because we don’t just shoot your wedding. We EXPERIENCE your day with you, so one day you can REMEMBER and be THANKFUL. We sure are.

ON WORKING EVERY DAY WITH MY WIFE
When people ask me what it’s like to work every day with my wife, I have developed a somewhat programmed response.
It starts out with a tongue-in-cheek joke about how “challenging” working with your spouse is. Then, I follow with something referring to the indistinguishable line between work, family, love and life. And finally, it is wrapped up with a horrible attempt to rebound from the first two comments. Probably something like, “But I love it and wouldn’t have it any other way.”
I’ve always gone for the laugh, first. Mainly because I love her sweet smile and seemingly agreeable laughter to my lame attempt to pander to expectations of husbands and wives who would have a hard time working side by side, every single day…But here is the reality.
She makes me better. And when I see her from across a room or from up on a stage amidst a crowd of rowdy wedding guests, it reminds me why being husband and wife is so much more successful (on every level) when you focus on what you CAN’T live without, rather than those things that you could. And her…I could never live (or work) without.

Nov 2021 has been perfect. and joined a long line of nearly nearly 300 grooms who married waaaaaay up.

This was not staged.

We just spent 4 perfect days in Pittsburgh with 100 or so people that treated us like family. What this wedding meant to us would take hours to convey. So, to put it simply…. and we love you, we love your families and most of all, we are so thankful that God brought us into your lives through the kindness and love of two extraordinary people who treated us like family from the moment we met them.

We asked him what he wanted his first haircut to look like. All I could make decipher was “Joe Diffie”…so we went with that.

It’s cool with us if you act like a movie star at a box office premier on your wedding day. If you think about it, whatever kind of aisle you are walking down…it’s like the Red Carpet. All eyes (and cameras) are on you.
23/06/2021
Severe (kissing) weather.
25/05/2021
If we are keeping score, I always have one extra beautiful person that I get to photograph on wedding days. So, it’s simple math...I have the better pictures.
23/05/2021
I wish I was a little bit Traller...Love these two and their families. Such a fun night last night.
22/05/2021
Spending the final hours of engagement with these two today. Congrats to the (in just a few hours) future Trallers!
