Vicki + William's Shreveport Wedding
Ceremony: Brown Chapel at Centenary - Shreveport, LA
Reception: University Club - Shreveport, LA
Wow. This is going to be a DOOZY of a post! First off let me say this was one of THE most interesting weddings I've had the privilege of being a part of. My friends Will + Vicki got married in Shreveport, LA a few weeks ago and lots of interesting and fun things happened. It was 35 degrees when it is normally supposed to be 60ish (Vicki assured me it would be "warm in january in Louisiana". Thanks to Global Warming or whatever, it was not warm at all.) We all froze together! To top the evening off the hotel most of the guests were staying at flooded. Apparently pipes burst and filled the hotel from the top down. It ruined the entire hotel! A brand new Holiday Inn...ruined! While many of us were dancing and having a good time at the reception our hotel was filling with water. One room was said to have 4 feet of water inside!! I've included some photos I took when I arrived on the scene. The inside of the hotel was like a scene out of a zombie movie, water dripping from holes in the ceilings, no power, standing water on the floor... We were relocated to another Holiday Inn and it worked out okay in the end. All in all, it was a fun and memorable wedding. Enjoy!

Typically January through March is a slow time for us. It's cold out, people are stuffed from Christmas and New Year's dinner parties, and who wants to shoot pictures in the cold!? We do, of course! In celebration of the new year, we will be offering portrait sessions - senior, family or individuals, at no obligation, for FREE. The session costs you nothing. We'll come on location to shoot you either in a comfortable environment like your home or help arrange a place that fits your personality. Afterward you can view your images on your very own proof site. You'll then have 3 months to view the images and purchase any prints you might like!
Feel free to pass this offer along to your friends and family. For everyone that has us do their portrait that mentions your name, we'll give you a FREE 8x10 print from your session.
I anticipate these session slots will go quickly as time is limited. Call for more specific details or email at: greg@phippsphoto.com.
