Most of you know by now that I'm a pretty avid golfer. I just wanted to say that I finally was able to hold it all together long enough to shoot an complete round under par for the first time last week. Thats a big milestone for me. Actuallly had a chance to shoot 69 by making a birdie at the last, only to miss the pin by 12'....which landed me in the sand. Oh well, 71 wasnt too shabby for a chopper like me:-))

Brittney and Drew had another gorgeous day for their South Florida Wedding!! We started off at the church, as you can see we kind of took over the pastors office!! Then off to the Governers Club on the 13th floor overlooking the intercoastal and the ocean where Barbara took care of every detail for a fantastic reception. Jerry from Kenny Mondo took care of the entertainment for the evening in his usual terrific way. All in all, good times were had by everyone!! Congrats again guys!! Brad

2007 A Year in Review
Well, considering the year has been over for a few days, we have taken some time to reflect upon it. We had the great honor to be a part of some of the coolest weddings we've ever done. We managed to photography in several states last year, including New Hampshire, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, and of course good ole Florida. We've been at 5 star hotels, country clubs and some terrific private residences; each one special in its own way. Just goes to show that there really is no one way to do a wedding. Your way is the right way. On a photographic note, 2007 marked the biggest change of my career photographically. We undertook the journey of converting to all prime lenses...that is to say non-zoom lenses. They do cost more, but the results speak for themselves. It is more a case of searching for the great light than the great equipment, but you really can not do the former without the latter. So now its 2008. How in the world are we going to top the images we produced in 2007??? Well thats the great thing about this job....every day is a new challenge, a new opportunity, a new bride. I'd be perfectly happy to show only the last wedding we shot as our portfolio.....and that is a sentiment that we live by all year....shoot every wedding like its going to be your portfolio....cause it is. Thats one reason we always try to show prospective brides the proofs from the most recent wedding....I want my "reality" to kick the pants off every other photographers "portfolio" images every single week!!! Thats what drives me. I dont like to lose....ever at anything. Golf, baseball, tennis, or yes...photography. Especially photography!!
Onward to 2008. We already are 50% booked up for the year. I managed to break par for the 1st time ever YEAH!! And the Barr boys are all stoked to start the new season of baseball....life goes on....
Anyway, thanks for listening, and look in again to see the latest. We will be making some changes too!!
Brad n Debbie Barr and the Barr Boys!!

Trash the Dress!!!
You've probably heard about this latest hot trend thats sweeping the nation. ITs called "Trash the Dress". No you dont actually trash it, but its a fun session doing things in your wedding dress (after the wedding day) that you would never have even thought about doing on your big day. For example....frolic in the surf...lay down on the rr tracks.....ride bareback on a horse...etc etc etc.
The sky is the limit really.
Here's a special offer. The first bride to call us to set up a TTD session gets the session for FREE!!! Thats right!! No session fee at all!! After its done you can purchase anything you like but the session is free. Thats a 299.00 session for free!! (It does have to take place on the Treasure Coast though).
If you are interested in having a great time and creating some killer images while making use of that "old dress", leave us a comment below then...
Just call us to set it up!!! 772-336-5798 Happy New Year Everyone!!

Kudo's to Canon
Gotta give a shout out to the folks at Canon's Professional Service center. We had the misfortune to have a camera drop and break a lens and a flash unit on our 12/31 event, and all 3 arrived back today completely as new. Considering shipping back and forth, thats wonderful service!! Thanks Canon!!!

A walk in the park....
....on a terrific afternoon, was just the beginning of Christina and Justin's big day!! We got started at the new Hilton Gardens in St Lucie west for some fun shots getting her ready to go...who am I kidding...Christina was ready to go when I walked in!! Even so we got some great light both in her room and in the lobby. The huge windows and open spaces made for some really dramatic images. Then a huge HummerLimo from Eagle Marsh Limosuines shuttled them up the the Liberty Baptist church, where they not only tied the knot, but celebrated after for the reception in there huge facility behind the church. While the guests enjoyed the cocktail hour, we jumped back in the Hummer, and zoomed over to White City Park for some really cool stuff in the park.
I'm told that after the reception ended...the couple were treated to a surprise mini reception back at the Hilton, where Paragon Entertainment partied up the night for the remaining guests. Anyway, Congrats again to Christina and Justin!!

Triple Header!!! 3 days, 3 weddings!!
A great trio of weddings we had over the New Years holiday!! Amy and Jose closed out 2007 in a big way with their wedding celebration!! They had the best crew on the Treasure Coast from top to bottom, starting with some gorgeous flowers from Barbara at Country Club Florists, then Cobblestone Limogave their ride some style, and a beautiful (and delicous)cake from Betty at Sweet Tiers Of course they were stuck with me....and they had DJ Lou from Paragon Entertainment providing the musical accompaniment.
They knocked off a little early to allow all their guests to ring in the New Year with their families, and now its off to the Caribbean for a dynamite honeymoon.
Congrats again Amy and Jose. See all their pix HERE
