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.

After a few weeks away for Christmas, we here at Phipps Photo are prepared to start the New Year with newfound excitement! It's like a fresh start every year to try new things, meet new folks, and work on new resolutions. I hope you'll check in again soon and hear some of the new things we've got cooking!
For now, here is one of our custom-designed Christmas cards from us to you.
Hope you had a good Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Rain. Fellow photographers. Huge families. First Kisses. This wedding started with rain and ended with a LOT of rain! It's always a challenge to shoot in harsh weather and this was no exception. Thankfully Alexa had planned ahead with a large tent at her parent's home. We did the entire wedding underneath it and it kept everyone dry (except for our feet as there was 3 inches of water under the whole tent!) Alexa and Jonathan were great to work with and as usual, I had a lot of fun. Alexa is a fellow wedding photographer here in town so it was a great privilege to be asked to photograph her wedding. It was also cool to see her family of 10 siblings! But the biggest privilege of the day was to be able to witness not only the wedding of two people in love, but two people who had NEVER kissed before! They wanted it to be such a big moment they held off kissing until after their vows. Alexa was so excited she was hysterical (see photo below).
Congrats to a great couple and thanks for letting me be a part of such a cool day. Hope you enjoy.
