"I get to attend a wedding as a GUEST!" I'd exclaim - "it's such a rare treat!" And that it was. It's not that I've never been to a wedding as a guest before - I've been to lots! But 2012 was my first truly full wedding season, shooting 19...]]>Fotog Friday: Ring Shots Part 3http://www.rebekahhoyt.com/blog/2013/5/17/fotog-friday-ring-shots-part-3.htmlRebekah2013-05-17T13:02:28Z2013-05-17T13:02:28ZThe last two weeks on Fotog Friday, I discussed how I shoot the ring during an engagement shoot, and how I shoot all three rings during the wedding! Today we're going to get just a little bit technical as I take you inside of Lightroom and give you a small insight into how I edit ring shots! I will begin by saying that I by no means am saying this is...]]>Lynsey & Chris are ENGAGED!http://www.rebekahhoyt.com/blog/2013/5/16/lynsey-chris-are-engaged.htmlRebekah2013-05-16T17:03:41Z2013-05-16T17:03:41ZOne of the things that surprised me the most about my job was how it would connect me to old friends. I've known Lynsey since my freshman year of high school - we were in an all-girls show choir together called Personality (yes, what they make fun of on Glee is true... the show choir names are RIDIC) and there were only 15 of us, so we...]]>Creating an Heirloomhttp://www.rebekahhoyt.com/blog/2013/5/15/creating-an-heirloom.htmlRebekah2013-05-15T14:05:36Z2013-05-15T14:05:36ZThis is my parent's wedding album. I was walking around my house trying to find a pretty spot to take pictures of it, when suddenly I remembered our coffee table. This coffee table was my parent's since I was a baby (maybe even before I was born). They generously passed it down to me and Matt so we'd have furniture in our new home. It...]]>Mackenzie & Nick are MARRIED!http://www.rebekahhoyt.com/blog/2013/5/14/mackenzie-nick-are-married.htmlRebekah2013-05-14T14:51:12Z2013-05-14T14:51:12ZEvery once in a while, the opportunity to photograph an elopement comes my way. It's very different than shooting a wedding, but I always jump at the chance if I can! Elopements are really amazing because they truly are the most intimiate way a couple can commit their lives to each other. Mackenzie and Nick both have a very sweet disposition...]]>Celebrating Momshttp://www.rebekahhoyt.com/blog/2013/5/13/celebrating-moms.htmlRebekah2013-05-13T14:40:27Z2013-05-13T14:40:27ZA really interesting thing happened to me yesterday when I was scrolling through my Instagram and Facebook newsfeeds...

I talked about how I shoot the rings, specifically during the engagement shoot, and what I look for. Today, I'm focusing on the wedding day! When I first began shooting weddings, I didn't realize that ring shots were a "thing" until I started exploring other blogs and photographer's...]]>Ashley & Will are ENGAGED!http://www.rebekahhoyt.com/blog/2013/5/9/ashley-will-are-engaged.htmlRebekah2013-05-09T12:52:12Z2013-05-09T12:52:12ZI am so thankful to have couples like Ashley and Will in my wedding season! These two make each other laugh so much and it is pure joy to be around. Ashley and Will met at their freshman orientation at Duke 10 years ago! They've been together since their sophomore year and have endured a long, loving relationship! They haven't always lived...]]>It's Abby Grace!http://www.rebekahhoyt.com/blog/2013/5/8/its-abby-grace.htmlRebekah2013-05-08T15:45:22Z2013-05-08T15:45:22ZAlright, I'll admit, most of you have met Abby by now, or at least heard me mention her name on my blog... so this introduction isn't as much of an introduction as it is, well, just a way to share her new head shots with you! Abby and I met about a year and a half ago as we were both really starting to hit our growth spurts as wedding...]]>Jen & Josh are MARRIED!http://www.rebekahhoyt.com/blog/2013/5/7/jen-josh-are-married.htmlRebekah2013-05-07T13:20:25Z2013-05-07T13:20:25ZI couldn't have asked for a better wedding to kick off my season! These two brought me so much joy on their wedding day - I just adore them! As I arrived to Hotel Monaco, Jen was calm and excited. Josh was just so READY to be married to the love of his life. Although the hotel was buzzing with relatives and friends, these two somehow...]]>
