Summer Special - free engagement session

Engagement sessions are some of my favorite photography sessions. It really gives me a chance to get to know you as a couple, and for you to get to know me. There is nothing more awkward than arriving at a wedding and having to ask who the groom is because I've never met him before. I actually think I'm going to start calling these sessions "Get to know you" sessions.

Because I love them so much, I'm giving FREE Get to know you sessions to anyone who books their wedding in June, July or August. You don't have to be getting married during one of those months - you just have to book then. Email me for more details - www.reneereedy.com

Here are a few engagement pictures I've done this year. Don't I have the best clients ever?

Devin and Sarah Sham: Jackson, MS Wedding Photographer

Will and I were honored to be a part of Sarah and Devin's wedding weekend. It started Friday morning with an Indian wedding ceremony and continued Saturday with a Christian ceremony. It was incredible to see how their two families blended and respected each other's traditions and customs.

The ceremony Saturday was at the Capital Club in Jackson.

I love seeing other couples that I have photographed their wedding. Jodi and Phillip Davis and Paul and Rachel Purser (with their baby Piper) were all there. I love all my brides and grooms!

Kristen from Signature Occasions was the wedding planner.

Apple's Skincare and Spa: Aberdeen, MS

Apple's is a GREAT new skincare and spa that just opened in Aberdeen. Abby is amazing and absolutely loves and is passionate about helping people care for their skin. I had a European Facial, and it was the most relaxing thing I've done since Garrison was born! Abby was named for her great grandmother, and her nickname was Apple....hence the name of the spa. You have to take the time to try Apple's. I promise it will be worth it!

Lindsey and Ben: Columbus, MS engagement photographer

Lindsey and Ben are such a cute couple. Lindsey is in Vet school at MS State. I can't imagine being in school and planning a wedding! That just seems so stressful to me! Here are just a few of their engagement pictures.

Oxford wedding photographer: Mallory and John Carroll

Mallory and John's wedding was my first wedding to photograph after maternity leave. It felt so good to finally be back to work! Their wedding was in Oxford, so it made it a little easier for Garrison to just stay at my parent's house for the day.

Mallory and John were great to work with. After their ceremony, we jumped on the trolley and went on campus and to the square to take a few pictures before heading to the reception at the Oxford University Club.

Every wedding I photograph is different and unique in it's own way. I've seen people shake pom poms as a couple leaves, but John and Mal added a twist. John said over the microphone, "Are you ready?" and they ran through the crowd as everyone yelled "hotty toddy!" It was the perfect ending to an incredible day!










New Power Magazine

Several weeks ago I did a photo shoot for Retro South Music for the cover of The New Power Magazine. Here are a couple of shots from the photo shoot. The first one is Krucial holding Garrison. Krucial is one of our good friends. He's a hip hop artist who will be famous one day. He has a heart of gold and is a believer in God. We call him "Uncle Krucial" to Garrison. I love this picture.



This shows Krucial's personality. He always finds joy in every situation. He is very inspiring.
