Ashley and Kyle - Grand Oaks, Cartersville, GA


Well, here are past all the website changes, and all the technical set backs of late, so it is time for a new post! YAY! I would like to introduce to you Ashly and Kyle.

Ashley and Kyle were married back on August 11th at Grand Oaks in Cartersville, GA. All I can say is wow! They chose the most perfect place to be married! Grand Oaks is a word of mouth kind of place, and it is amazing! The details all over the house are amazing.

It also helped to have a wonderful couple like Ashley and Kyle. The two have been together for... well it has been forever... and a day or two! Mary, Ashley's mom, found my website a few months ago, and we started chatting about her daughters wedding. It is a real honor to be part of their day.

Serious Issues - I am Addicted... to Blogging

88%LinkHow Addicted to Blogging Are You?

I was over at [b]ecker's blog, and he alerted me to a new addiction. The addiction to blogging. Upon research I found no other creditable references to the addiction to blogging. However, [b]ecker is this way cool really talented photographer west of the Mississippi. I trust through his year of experience that this addiction to be true. While he is more addicted than myself, I too suffer from this horrible addiction.

What is Old is New Again - The Blog!

A while back there was a huge change in my blog. It was a .Mac blog. In case you have not seen it you can check it out at http://web.mac.com/boldimagery/. As you all may have known. This blog was my original blog.

The .Mac blog can not be saved on the same servers as my website. Which really robs me of a lot of content for my website. Which means I miss out on higher search engine ratings. So, my old blog is now my new blog once more. The other blog will be a more personal blog. This one will be more for business.

Check out both for the latest happenings.

Enjoy!

Cara and Nolan Tie the Knot

Okay, first off I had a wonderful time this weekend photographing the wedding of Cara and Nolan. Rhonda and Jackie thank you so much for taking such good care of me. For the person who was so kind to tie my shoe... Thank you! LOL!

Cara made it very clear anything for a good photo during the bridal session. I would have to say she meant it to... Check it out....

Lauryn and Jared - Chattanooga, TN



I want to give a big Arg! to Lauryn and Jared! What can I say.... hmmmm.... I really had a good time with the wedding of these two! I experienced a lot of new things. Lets start with the sword fight between the lucky couple during the reception. There was also a belly dancing performance. Lauryn is a very talented belly dancer herself and gave an impressive demonstration of the art form. Then there was the hug fire across the street.

I mean wow! These two know how to make a statement. Seriously, they had an awesome wedding. I feel lucky to be part of their day. Here is a little preview for you all!

Enjoy!

I Love You All The Way To The Moon

I am in my office working. The next nine months this will be my primary residence. Some days I will be here for well over 15 hours. Today, I am slaving away, and my three-year-old daughter walks in and says, "Daddy, I love you all the way to the moon!"

AWWWWWWWW!!!!!! I am melting. It reminds me how lucky I am to have so many wonderful women in my life. Each are so sweet. Being a dad is a privilege's that I love so much.

To hear something like that makes me smile in ways I can not describe. I thought I would share though.

Thanks!

Website is Down

OK folks... I have learned more in the last few hours about my website than I ever knew was possible. I big shout out to Mack in Nashville for alerting me to the problem this morning.

Basicly, right now... www.jasonconnel.com is down. My site was attacked by hackers, and it died sometime last night. After a lot of frantic phone calls and some serious emails. There is a solution. I will be changing servers to prevent this from happening again.

It is going to be back up soon. www.jasonconnel.net is coming on line but could take a day or two. It is a back up copy of my site, so it will need a little updating. www.jasonconnel.com is also being redirected to these same servers.

Think of a domain name like a phone number. When you move you can take it with you, and that is the plan. While the site will be at a different address you will still be able to type in www.jasonconnel.com, and get the same site, but it will take a few days. I appreciate your understanding in this. I am sorry for any troubles, and it will be back up ASAP.

Thanks!
Jason
