Weddings, Weddings, Weddings

The most fun I have as a photographer is shooting weddings. As the wedding photographer for the Hummingbird Inn I have the opportunity to do at least one wedding per week, often more. I've done 31 weddings in the past 3 months!

I've been asked to post some photos, which I am happy to do here. I've taken, literally, thousands of digital photos and saved about two-thirds of them on cds, after sorting out the bad shots. It is so hard to pick out just a few favorites, but here's a sampling.




  

  

As the seasons change there are more and more beautiful spots at the Inn to take photos.  A garden with islands of roses, tiger lilies, wisteria, wild strawberries, and more. A grape arbor with ripening grapes. Borders of crepe myrtles and rose of Sharons, a Japanese Dogwood tree, just to name a few more.  The gazebo is the most popular place for the ceremonies, but there is also the Hitchin' Post in the barn, the fireplace in the parlor, a bridal arch in the meadow, the garden, and the deck overlooking the view.  As the summer flowers fade we'll be eagerly waiting for the autumn colors.  It's an ever-changing palette for the couples' special day and an unending source of inspiration for me. 

I love my job!

Hummingbird Inn Bed and Breakfast --- AND Romantic Weddings


Once you turn off Hwy 160 onto Hampton Road, you quickly find yourself on a winding country road, canopied by a forest of trees so thick it is often difficult to see the sky.  Nearly completely hidden by these trees is an old milking shed near a watering hole visited by all sorts of wildlife.  Then you come to a three-tined fork in the road; taking the middle tine straight ahead brings you to a view not unlike hundreds in the Branson Ozarks.  The trees part to reveal a breathtaking panorama of tree covered hills, accented by the Shepherd of the Hills Inspiration Tower.  Perched on a high ridge overlooking the hills north of Branson is the Hummingbird Inn Bed and Breakfast

When you are guests at the Inn, whether for a day or a week, for a vacation or for a family reunion, for a wedding or an anniversary, you are treated like royalty by your hosts Ron and Sherry.  Luxurious suites, delicious home-made breakfasts, as well as dinners available made-to-order, gardens, country air, and down-home hospitality are just a few of the amenities that will have you promising to return soon!

If you are looking for the perfect place for a perfect wedding, the Hummingbird Inn will make your special day, well --- perfect! Wedding ceremonies are performed in the gazebo, in the garden, in front of the fireplace, under the grape-covered arbor, in the country barn, or in the meadow under a flowered trellis. Everything you need for an intimate wedding party for 2 to 40 can be provided. 

It is my honor and pleasure to be the wedding photographer at the Inn.  We have so much fun getting to know the bride and groom as well as their guests.  Here I am showing a sampling of recent weddings.

For a wedding photographer the Hummingbird Inn is a paradise.  For that matter, it's a paradise for guests, too!
