	<a title="Bridal Photography" href="http://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/gallery/tag/46/Portraits"><img src="http://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/screen-capture1-227x300.png" alt="Bridal Photography" width="227" height="300" /></a>
	<div style=""><a title="Bridal Photography" href="http://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/gallery/tag/46/Portraits">Bridal Photography</a></div>
</div>Experience is the name of the game when it comes to <a title="Wilson Photography Studio" href="http://www.wilsonstudio.com/">Wilson Photography</a>. Since 1985 Wes Wilson has been doing top quality <a title="Top Quality Photography in North Augusta, SC" href="http://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/c/Photography/l/South-Carolina/North-Augusta">photography in the North Augusta, SC</a> area, and oh what a portfolio he has!</p>
<p>Among my favorites of Wes&#039; were those that demonstrate his use of black and white photography and his unique eye for composition. In the world of digital photography, it is rare to see a photographer capture black and white the old fashioned way. Wilson Photography does this! His blacks are true blacks, not the in-between grey you usually get from digital photographers without experience.</p>
<p>Another thing I noticed about Wilson&#039;s photos was just how well he captures the moment in the eyes of his subjects. You can really see the emotion in each and every photo. The wedding photography is where this is extremely evident. The deep love in the bride&#039;s eyes, the playfulness of the children in their little suits and dresses and the thoughtfulness of the attendants &#8230; these emotions seem to be encapsulated in the eyes.</p>
<p>Wilson Photography is definitely the photographer you are looking for if you want amazing photos that really capture the heart of the moment, as well as a veteran photographer&#039;s patience and professionalism.</p>

<div class="img alignright size-medium wp-image-1344" style="width:255px; ">
	<a href="https://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/gallery/vendor/197521/photo/2832/Newlywed-Reflection-On-Sunglasses"><img src="http://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/2832-300x200.jpg" alt="Reflection Wedding Photo" width="255" height="170" /></a>
	<div style=""><a href="https://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/gallery/vendor/197521/photo/2832/Newlywed-Reflection-On-Sunglasses">Reflection Wedding Photo</a></div>
</div><a title="Mojica Photography" href="http://www.mojicaphotography.com/">Mojica Photography</a> understands the importance of little, candid moments and can turn these into masterpieces. Their creative photographer Loraine&#039;s unique view on things is what makes Mojica stand out amongst other photographers. Just listen to her thrilled client:</p>
<p><em>&#034;One thing I was very impressed with was her creativity. She had wonderful ideas for shots that I would have never thought of before&#8211;those are some of my favorites&#8211;but she is equally skilled with more traditional shots as well.&#034;</em></p>
<p>Another thing Mojica is known for is <a title="Portrait Photography in Lawrence Kansas" href="http://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/c/Photography/Portrait-Photography/l/Kansas/Lawrence">family photography</a>. Anyone who has tried to take pictures of children knows that &#8230; well its practically impossible. Sitting still is simply not an option for kids, so Loraine&#039;s  natural way with kids puts her a cut above the rest!</p>
<p><em>&#034;We had so much fun doing them i don&#039;t even think my son even realized we were taking pictures most of the time. Which is great because the pictures turned out very natural and really captured our family.&#034;</em></p>
<p>You can&#039;t get much better than that! So if you are looking for a good blend of creativity with the technical photography skill to do fantastic traditional wedding photos, Mojica Photography is your best bet!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you think Bubba&#039;s, homestyle Southern comfort food might come to mind. This <a title="Caterers in Huntsville Alabama" href="http://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/c/Catering-and-Food/Caterers/l/Alabama/Huntsville">Huntsville, AL caterer</a> is so much more than that! <a title="Bubba's Silver Spoon Catering" href="http://www.bubbassilverspooncatering.com/">Bubba&#039;s Silver Spoon Catering</a> has everything you need to make your event WOW anyone in attendance!</p>
<div class="img alignleft size-medium wp-image-1466" style="width:189px; ">
	<a title="Extreme Ice Sculpture" href="http://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/gallery/vendor/56475/photo/3038/Eiffel-Tower-Ice-Sculpture"><img src="http://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/eefil-another-225x300.jpg" alt="Eefil Tower Ice Sculpture" width="189" height="252" /></a>
	<div style=""><a title="Extreme Ice Sculpture" href="http://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/gallery/vendor/56475/photo/3038/Eiffel-Tower-Ice-Sculpture">Eefil Tower Ice Sculpture</a></div>
</div>Master Craftsman, Chef Ray Maranda can dazzle anyone with his hand crafted <a title="Ice Sculptures in Huntsville Alabama" href="http://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/c/Catering-and-Food/Ice-Sculptures/l/Alabama/Huntsville">Ice Sculpture Centerpieces</a>. This multi-award winning team have been featured in popular publications such as: <em>I Do Magazine</em> and <em>Southern Living</em>.  Chef&#039;s Bubba Conner and Ray Maranda have one of the tastiest menu I&#039;ve ever read! Listen to some of these dishes: chicken dijonnaise, grilled salmon with cucumber relish, stuffed pork with ham, gouda and peppers, scallops augratin over bowtie pasta. Mmmm! And I didn&#039;t even get to the desserts. However, if you are in Huntsville you know no caterer should ever be without their Southern Themes! For this they offer Southern BBQ, Fish Fry, Lo Country Boil, and more!</p>
<p>If you&#039;re indecisive like me and can never settle on an answer to the infamous &#034;What&#039;s For Dinner?&#034; question Bubba&#039;s Catering has you covered! <div class="img alignright size-medium wp-image-1469" style="width:184px; ">

</div>They have very organized categories for you to pick from: Breakfast Menu, Lunch Boxes, Lunch or Dinner Buffets, Elegant Dinners, and even a Cocktail Menu. For those of you are good at choosing a menu, they offer &#034;Design Your Own Buffet.&#034;</p>
<p>My personal favorite of the menus &#8211; The Hobnobbin&#039; &#8230;  I had to look it up! On this menu you will find: gulf crab cakes, mini beef wellington, duck trap river-smoked salmon, roast tenderloin of beef with silver dollar rolls.. and that&#039;s not even half of it!</p>
<p>So no matter what the occasion and for the absolute best menu available Bubba&#039;s Silver Spoon Catering should be your pick!</p>

</div>One look at the extreme grooms cakes by <a title="Crystal Wedding" href="http://www.crystalweddings.net/">Crystal Wedding</a> and you can see what sets them apart from other bakeries. The craftsmanship on their unique wedding cakes is mind blowing! Who would have ever thought to build LSU Stadium into a cake?? (Well they did! Several other Stadiums too.) The patience that the mother-daughter team put into their cake design is really remarkable.</p>
<p>Experience is definitely needed to create these masterpieces. Growing up in her mother Mary Boudreaux&#039;s bakery, its no wonder Crystal Williams joined the team. Together they have some 50 years experience under their belts. Knowing the importance of quality, they and their staff bake and cook in the finest of American, French and European traditions. Everything made by hand with the freshest ingredients.</p>
<div class="img alignright size-medium wp-image-1310" style="width:248px; ">
	<a title="Kings Cake Mardi Gras Cake" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_cake"><img src="http://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Kingcake-300x225.jpg" alt="Kings Cake Mardi Gras Cake" width="248" height="186" /></a>
	<div style=""><a title="Kings Cake Mardi Gras Cake" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_cake">Kings Cake Mardi Gras Cake</a></div>
</div>Speaking of traditions, ever heard of a King Cake? They are a uniquely New Orleans Mardi Gras tradition perfected by the <a title="Lafayette Louisiana Bakeries" href="http://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/c/Bakeries-and-Pastry-Shops/l/Louisiana/Lafayette">Lafayette, Louisiana bakery</a>. It looks like a giant festive pastry that serves 20-25 people! All cakes have a small trinket inside and who ever finds it in their piece has the privilege of buying next years cake! How festive! (They also ship these anywhere!)</p>
<p>A Mardi Gras themed party is not complete without the King Cake, but if its a wedding coming up Crystal Wedding&#039;s is your go-to source in for all your wedding planning needs. They have everything you need from toasting glasses, <a title="Find Chair Covers in Lafayette Louisiana" href="http://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/c/Linens/Chair-Covers/l/Louisiana/Lafayette">chair covers</a> and cake toppers, to floral centerpieces, candelabras and topiaries. But of course, wedding cakes and grooms are their specialty! So if you are looking for an extra special wedding cake with an artistic flare Crystal Wedding is your place!</p>

From one end of the photography spectrum to another, this man does it all&#8212;and does it <em>well</em>.</p>

</div>Based in Montgomery Alabama, photographers like Darrell are hard to find. However, all of Alabama&#8212;yes, every city in the state&#8212;can have a piece of history lovingly fashioned for themselves by Duggan Studio. Never mind that Darrell happens to be one of the sweetest guys around. He&#039;s also a very talented photographer who does fine art portraiture as well! Really!</p>
<p>The thing that really gets you excited when you visit Duggan Studio is his oil painting. Darrell creates oil paintings based on portraits. That means that you can preserve your face or special moment in the same way that many of our famous ancestors did. Oil paintings last several lifetimes (when properly cared for) and are worth their weight in gold, though you&#039;ll never pay that much with Duggan Studio. You get the same high quality oil paintings and fine art portraits from Darrell that the kings and queens of Europe used to pay top dollar for.</p>

	<div style=""><a href="https://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/gallery/vendor/168587/photo/3034/Engaging-Engagement-Picture">Unique Portraits</a></div>
</div>Imagine the faces of your friends as they walk into your home and see a beautiful oil painting of you on your wedding day. Wouldn&#039;t you feel like a queen? Duggan Studio wants that for you and they&#039;ll make sure that you experience that feeling with your very own oil painting.</p>
<p>Duggan Studio has also mastered what few other <a title="Montgomery AL Photographers" href="http://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/c/Photography/l/Alabama/Montgomery" target="_blank">Montgomery, Alabama photographers</a> do. Darrell does photo restoration. This means that if you have an old photo of your great grandmother&#039;s house or your great grandfather that you want restored to a higher quality photo, Darrell is the one to call. He will make the photos look as if they were taken yesterday instead of yesteryear.</p>
<p>Besides high quality fine art portraits and photo restoration, Duggan Studio also does standard studio and location photography but never in the standard fashion. Darrell goes above and beyond to make sure that your photos are exquisite representations of your memories and your moments. Once you get a taste of the high quality photos from Duggan Studio, you&#039;ll keep Darrell&#039;s number on speed dial for your next occasion.</p>

<p>Event designer Carol Carpentier knows how each flower can bring back a special memoryl. The smell of a rose can signal happy thoughts of times past. Maybe tiger lilies bring back the memories of ones grown in their grandmother&#039;s garden. Carol understands the importance of these tiny details.  For these reasons, she gave up her flower shop (where she worked for some 20 years) and decided to redirect her creativity and expertise on a larger scale with event decor.</p>
<p>Listening to a customer&#039;s vision of their wedding or event inspires Carol to create something uniquely personal &#8212; bringing those dreams to life beyond expectations. Extraordinary bridal bouquets, centerpieces and floral arrangements are what brides experience when they work with Carol at CC Floral Designs.</p>
<p>Exceptional event and <a title="Wedding Flowers in North Smithfield Rhode Island" href="http://www.weddingandpartynetwork.com/c/Florists-and-Flowers/Wedding-Flowers/l/Rhode-Island/North-Smithfield">wedding flowers</a> are just one of the many essential services CC Floral Designs has to offer.  A specially tailored plan that coordinates the bride&#039;s wedding vision with a range of styles to create the ultimate day is what <a title="Wedding Planning Tips, Advice, &amp; Vendors" href="http://weddingandpartynetwork.com/">wedding planning</a> is all about.
