The Latest Victims of Blogger-Picasa-Google Plus

It's us. We are the latest victims of Blogger-Picasa-Google Plus which means all of our pictures on our blog are gone! So if you're here for the first time or you're returning to see some of your favorite images, we're so sorry!

It turns out this is a pretty widespread issue. Clients of Blogger.com, like us, were pretty upset to find out that their pictures are not recoverable.

So this is what happened... Blogger.com is a part of Google..which means it's also a part of Google Plus. When you post images on your blog, Blogger holds them on a site called Picasa. When you get a Google Plus Invite, and go and create your page, eventually you will see a folder of your images show up in your photo gallery. For us, it was a file of over 400 images. So we knew we didn't put them there, and we had no desire to keep them on our new Google Plus page. So we deleted it. Two days later we went to our blog and saw that all of our images were missing. We still had no idea why, and assumed it was a Blogger.com issue or glitch that would remedy itself. Unfortunately, no.

So, that file that magically appeared in our Google Plus picture folder was actually the Picasa file of all our images that Blogger placed there when we uploaded them to our blog. Blogger had no additional copies of our images. So deleting the Google Plus folder, that we didn't place there or want there, permanently deleted them from our blog as well. Confused yet? Us too!

We have all of the images on our hard drive, and of course backed up in two other locations as well. But the process of going through years of images, remembering each image that was used for each blog post, resizing them all again, and re-uploading would be extremely time consuming. So we've decided to lay this blog to rest. This will be our last post on this blog and we will be creating a brand new & improved blog very soon!

A June Wedding Filled with Sweet Southern Charm at Dorgan's Inn!

On June 30th Brad and Emily said "I Do" at Dorgan's Inn in Point Clear, AL.

 

In our opinion, this is a wedding venue with one of the most breathtaking views of 

Mobile Bay you could ask for. No wonder people travel for hundreds of miles to take in this little piece of Heaven...

Emily is from Corinth, Mississippi, which is near the Tennessee State Line. But distance was no issue. Brad & Emily said they knew that Dorgan's Inn was the place for their big day the moment they stepped onto the property. And what really sold them was when one of their favorite things came into view: a hammock.

 

One of their favorite things to do is relax in a hammock together. And they knew this was a picture that they must have taken on their wedding day :)

And of course we are so glad they chose us to be the ones to capture the images for them. Who wouldn't love to photograph a perfect June wedding on beautiful Mobile Bay?! 

Beautiful live oak trees with the spanish moss swaying to a light breeze...

Sandy Beaches and Gorgeous Views...

and sunsets that will give you the chills, even on a hot Saturday in June...

Not only were we able to to take all of this in, but this wedding was also accessorized by some of the most divine southern details you can imagine...

Sweet Tea & Pink Lemonade

The Couple's Favorite Candies & Homemade Fudge

and you can't leave out our good 'ole southern boys in uniform!

And for our southern belles, beautiful flowers from Belle Bouquet in Saraland, AL

Belle Bouquet always does a fantastic job and so do the other amazing vendors Emily & Brad chose, like...

Tyner's Catering, who did not disappoint with their infamous Strawberry Jam & Cheese Spread!

Cakes by Judi, with an owner who is arguably the sweetest lady on the Gulf Coast.

Mrs. Judi's cake was a crowd pleaser as always :)

And the extremely talented ladies of Agape Special Events are the fabulous wedding planners who helped them tie all of these fabulous details together to create a truly southern June wedding on beautiful Mobile Bay.

But to finish it off in true Southern Style, like a cherry on top, 

the couple departed in this 1929 Mercedes!

Congratulations Emily & Brad!
