SNOW?
So there's all this talk about us getting 3 to 6 inches of snow tonight. Under normal circumstances I'd be thrilled.... But I have a wedding tomorrow in Montevallo. I am excited for the bride that sooo few people can say that they had a "white wedding" in Alabama and I'm sure the pictures will be amazing... But I have to say that I'm a bit concerned about travel! I hope that we get just enough to be beautiful but not enough to cause major travel problems. Prayers for safe travel and good shooting conditions will be appreciated! :)

ITS ALIVE!!
I got up this morning to find that my new website was live! I'm so excited to reveal what I've been working on. I didn't expect it to be up so soon! I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks!
As with any big change, we are having one minor issue. Slideshows are temporarily unavailable, but we're working on getting them back up as soon as possible.... so hang in there for me! :)

Heirloom Photography becomes J. Messer Photography!
In just a matter of hours, Heirloom Photography will become J. Messer Photography!
So what's changing besides the name?
Perception mostly.
For years I've had to battle the assumption that I am a traditional wedding photographer who shoots traditional, old fashioned portraits. That couldn't be further from the truth.
After much thought, I decided it was time to take a risk and shed my skin. It is time to leave behind an identity that no longer fits and move forward with something that reflects who I am and what I do.
So be on the lookout for the change to happen within the next few days.
No fears... I'm here to stay... nothing is going away, except maybe a few common misconceptions. The slideshow feature will remain available and all current proofing galleries will also remain available.

Adventures at Panera
Funny story. As most of my past brides know, I often meet clients at restaurants, coffee houses, etc.... So tonight I had a meeting at Starbucks in Alabaster at 5:45pm and one at Panera in Birmingham at 8:00pm. Both were brides from out of state that came home this week to work on wedding plans.
The first meeting went very well and the bride and I really hit it off. We chatted about the ceremony and reception locations and looked at albums... The second meeting went equally as well. After the meeting we decided to ride over to the church and look around at what kind of outdoor areas were available. When we got back to my car at Panera we still had so much we wanted to talk about... So we sat in the bride's mother's car and looked at magazines and her wedding binder and all that good stuff.
So after a while we say our good-byes and get ready to leave. I'm sitting in my car and I look over and the bride is waving at me. Their car battery had died while we were sitting there talking! Neither of us had jumper cables! OH NO! Its now 11:00pm and there are no stores open. So I find a security guard. He says he'll have someone to us in 10 minutes... 30 minutes and one AAA lady later, I decide to go find some myself instead of leaving them to wait an hour for AAA. Well.... that task wasn't as easy as I thought. I finally find a guy at the Cheesecake Factory who has some! He follows me to the bride & her mom, jumps the car off, and saves the day. He even refused the $20 her mom tried to pay him.... What a great guy!
People ARE good.
