IT'S BUSINESS TIME!

Hi!  Welcome to our blog!  In case you don't know yet, WEARETHEPARSONS, jer and ash.   We are a married couple who experience the world through taking pictures.  Spend 5 minutes with us and we are pretty sure it will be obvious that we love each other, laughing, playing, making fun of ourselves, chasing our kids around, knowing new people, and squeezing life and meaning out of each day.  Hopefully, we take wedding and portrait images unlike anything you've ever seen before.  And hopefully you love that.

We are so thrilled that out of the whole wide world web, you have found us!  We would love to know you, hear your story, and make pretty pictures that make you so happy you pee your pants.

Please make yourself at home, take time and get to know us and our clients, and enjoy taking a peek at our quirky, wild, and beautiful world!


p.s. - many thanks to our friends, Nate+Jaclyn of the image is found, for the fun pictures of us, they tickle us in our silly places!!

Meghan + Tory : Engaged! in the winter!

postedbyjer
I love engagement sessions that start with having a beer together. Meghan and Tory are super fun, have great senses of humor, are laid back and came all the way from Chicago to walk around in the freezing cold for their engagement session. We can’t wait to shoot their much warmer wedding later this year!!

Kristen + Grant : Married on Sea Island, Georgia

postedbyash2
We are so excited to finally show you one of our favorite weddings of 2009. We held off on blogging it until now, because it was selected to be published by our favorite wedding mag, Southern Weddings, on their site - (click here to check out the 3 posts they put up for the wedding of the week, along with some fun details and musings from Kristen!) we were so totally thrilled and honored to be chosen!!! omg omg omg!!! :)

Sea Island is an unbelievable, dreamy place, and when Kristen first called and talked to me about her desire to have a great gatsby themed wedding at the cloister resort on this private island, I was salivating. From the dress, to the tuxes and crystal chandeliers suspended in the old, Georgia trees, to the feather boas, masks, top hats and canes that came out for the reception - this wedding was off the charts beautiful. and to add even more to the beauty, kristen and grant are really, really, really ridiculously good looking! fo sho!

Jeremy and I were honored and thrilled to be there to help them capture it all. here’s some of our personal favorite images. to see way, way more details and images, hop on over to the southern weddings site!

Kristen + Grant : a rehearsal dinner on the Georgia coast

postedbyash1
let me start this post by saying we really, really love our jobs. there are moments when jer and I look at each other, jaws dropped, because we cannot believe that we are blessed enough to do what we do for a living. truly, owning our own business and shooting weddings is just the beginning of the amazingness. getting to spend entire weekends with destination wedding couples like kristen + grant and their families and friends as they take us to their most favorite places on earth is an incredible experience. fo sho!!

we shot kristen and grant’s wedding a few months ago but have had to keep it under wraps until it was published on a fantastic wedding blog. for now, we will start with their rehearsal dinner - on the coast of St. Simons Island, Georgia. White tent, tiki torches, fresh seafood, sweet tea, one of the best bluegrass bands we’ve ever heard, and a stunning couple anxiously anticipating their dream day. enjoy the details. :)
