I have been so excited to post these images since I first realized I would be covering this wedding. From the details, the dress and most importantly the couple, everything was perfect! Alexis screams natural beauty and Nick is full of personality… I absoultely loved every minute of this wedding… you guys were amazing… thanks for inviting me to be part of this incredible day… enjoy 
I met Charity in 2006 covering a wedding for one of her best friends and little did I know she would invite me to be involved with such an incredible time in their lives. These two are most likely the most genuine people you will ever meet. I had so much fun shooting their engagment in Charleston and cannot wait until their wedding in September. You guys make my work so easy…
I have been looking forward to this session for some time now… I feel as though I have known Bethany forever and she and Kenny both have become great friends. I cannot wait to clue you in on some details of her wedding but you will just have to wait until July… stay tuned… it’s going to knock your socks off.
Alison has been such an incredible friend to me over the past years and it was so awesome to finally meet Josh! These two are crazy about each other and certainly know how to work a camera. I am tremendously excited to be sharing these with you and looking with anticipation to the wedding day in October. God’s blessing to you both!
A few weeks ago, I had an incredible time working with the most photogenic family… here is a peek at some of their photos. I cannot wait to get you guys the entire gallery… thanks for letting me capture a brief moment in your lives…
Hello my dear friends… many of you are wondering why the blog has been so quite over these past few days (or uh… weeks). Well… wedding season is back in full force and I have had an explosion of sessions… there will be big changes coming your way soon… I will be debuting a new website and blog in the next few weeks and someone majorly creative and full of wedding love is taking over my blog. Stay tuned… and in the meantime, I will try ang get my favorites from the past few sessions up for you to view. Until then my friends, be blessed! Now I am off to a shoot
For some time now, I have been struggling with my sense of faith… especially after the passing of my dear mother in law, Laurie. I write this to her memory… and my sense of God slowly restoring my faith in the promise of what’s to come. Barring all tragedy in this world, there is an eternal hope I am longing to breathe… here is a glimpse of what Laurie is now living and enthralls my soul with a yearning I have long sense felt…
“And this brings me to the other sense of glory – glory as brightness, splendor, luminosity. We are to shine as the sun, we are to be given the Morning Star. I think I begin to see what it means. In one way, of course, God has given us the Morning Star already: you can go and enjoy the gift on many a fine mornings if you get up early enough. What more, you may ask, do we want? Ah, but we want so much more – something the books on aesthetics take little notice of. But the poets and the mythologies know all about it. We do not want merely to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words – to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become a part of it. That is why we have peopled the air and earth and water with gods and goddesses and nymphs and elves – that though we cannot, yet these projections can enjoy in themselves that beauty, grace, and power of which Nature is the image. That is why the poets tell us such lovely falsehoods. They talk as if the west wind could really sweep into a human soul; but it can’t. They tell us that “beauty born of murmuring sound” will pass into a human face; but it won’t. Or not yet. For if we take the imagery of Scripture seriously, if we believe that one day God will give us the Morning Star and cause us to put on the splendor of the sun, then we may surmise that both the ancient myths and the modern poetry, so false as history, may be very near the truth as prophecy. At present we are on the outside of the world, the wrong side of the door. We discern the freshness and purity of morning, but they do not make us fresh and pure. We cannot mingle with the splendors we see. But all the leaves of the New Testament are rustling with the rumor that it will not always be so. Some day, God willing, we shall get in. When human souls have become as perfect in voluntary obedience as the the inanimate creation is in its lifeless obedience, then they will put on its glory, or rather that greater glory of which Nature is only the first sketch. For you must not think that I am putting forward any heathen fancy of being absorbed into Nature. Nature is mortal; we shall outlive Her. When all the suns and nebulae have passed away, each one of you will still be alive. Nature is only the image, the symbol; but it is the symbol Scripture invites me to use. We are summoned to pass in through Nature, beyond her, into the splendor which she fittingly reflects.
And in there, in beyond Nature, we shall eat of the tree of life. At present if we are reborn in Christ, the spirit in us lives directly on God; but the mind and, still more, the body receives life from Him at a thousand removes – through our ancestors , through our food, through the elements. The faint far-off results of those energies which God’s creative rapture implanted in matter when He made the worlds are what we now call physical pleasures; and even thus filtered, they are too much for our present management. What would it be to taste at the fountainhead that stream of which even these lower reaches prove so intoxicating? Yet that, I believe is what lies before us… The door on which we have been knocking all our lives will open at last.”

Just a peek. These two rocked my world. More to come.
Just a quick post from my many travels over the weekend. Bobby and Missy are amazing, I feel as though we have been friends for life… and this was my first time meeting with them. I will try and post more from my weekend in the coming days. And as for Bobby and Missy, I can hardly wait for the wedding.
Yesterday afternoon, the incredible ladies at Weddings Unveiled graciously posted a blog interview about my business. It means the world to me that you guys would take the time to learn a little more about my business and what goes on behind the scenes at Adam Barnes Fine Art Photography. Please stop by and check out their blog or even better, pick up a copy of the magazine at your local bookseller. Both are filled with incredible ideas, super cool articles, and amazing real weddings.
