Greg and Jasika
Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 11:46AM Joyfull! If I had to choose a word for this couple that would be it! I have never in 10 years been to a wedding that laughter overwhelmed the day quite the way it did at the Scruggs wedding! Sometimes I feel like stress can really get the best of couples so that they do not fully enjoy each other, but Jasika and Greg did not let anything get in the way of their happiness.
Once again, we were lucky enough to work with a couple that let us create imagery that was beyond our expectations. I never thought that cigarettes could be so sexy, boy, was I WRONG!!


The image below has to be one of my favorite images ever. I love the composition and the painterly feel it has!!



We have been recently trying to stretch our minds with our approaches to light and really create work that takes on a very dramatic approach. We use lights a lot but when you walk into a place and the natural light just screams at you to take its picture, why would you ever want to augment that! All the shots above are ambient light!
I also love shooting High Key on a wedding day! White on white is one of my favs that you will continue to see more of!


Even though it was hot, we squeezed in a few photos outside. Jasika and Greg were game for whatever, even dodging traffic!


Thanks you guys, you were so much fun and such a breeze to take pictures of! We love how amazing your wedding was and secretly wish we were Armenian;) We wish you much love and laughter for years to come!!

WOW these are amazing!!!!! Jas you look so drop dead gorgeous!!! I love these pictures!
Is that the house that they r building? need more insulation though, unless they have pretty HOT body heat in the winter! We should know the answer is YES. Like Paris Hilton said, "that's hot".
Absolutely incredible! Someone should replace all of the local billboards with these shots. I think smoking just became sexy again...
We're bringin the 80's back, baby!
Nicole, 709, although not an art gallery or restaurant, is the hippest place in town. It's a house that we've ALL lived in at one point or another. So, to put it mildly, there is a lot of foot traffic.
You all rock my world.
guess which one my favorite is. I love these.. amazing work. and amazingly working it.
Fabulous job you guys! Can't wait for you to see the video footage of this shoot. Mind blowing! Great to work with you all!

These are just plain sick. Some stuff reminds me of the classic notorious big photo with the throne and the death row pic with tupac on the all black background smoking. Good work and concept.
What a stunning couple! These pictures are awesome!
So I've said it before, but I have to say it again: your wedding was beautiful. And these photos are absolutely amazing.
I think that is my favorite dress of the season so far!!! WOWZA! I LOVED it!! She is gorg
You guys deserve all the credit that you are getting! These images are some of your best I would say!
Just breathtaking!
You can tell you guys are working hard at your craft and yet they do have the signature
SOTA feel.
I am in love with each and every one of them!
The B&G must be OVER the MOON!
