Dominic Willoughby

(Click play and then pause the video first then start reading. That way it can load up...)

Sarah and I had our first child on Monday night (Aug 10th)! Sarah is incredible. She wanted to have the birth naturally so she didn't get an epidural. She started having intense contractions around 8:30 am and labored 14 hours using the Bradley method of relaxation . At 10:30pm the obgyn insisted that the labor wasn't progressing at all and that a c-section would be necessary. Apparently Sarah has what the doctor called "little boy hips".  It gets kind of technical...

Obviously a c-section is not what Sarah wanted but it worked out for the best. The delivery at that point was quick and everything went very smoothly. At 11:27 pm a beautiful, healthy boy was born! His name is Dominic and he's 7 lbs 11 oz and 22.5 inches long. Some how I was able to snap a couple pics of everything that happened and I put it into a little slideshow. Don't worry, there isn't anything too graphic. It's just a little 5 minute video so hopefully it's done loading by now. If it isn't FULLY loaded, just keep waiting. It's kind of annoying if it starts and then stops 20 times.

Thanks for checking in, everyone, and for keeping us in your thoughts.

Joe & Jane Marie

Hello blog followers. Greetings. There is still no baby Willoughby. The due date was last Wednesday so....yeah...we're running kind of late. Thanks for your thoughts and/or prayers though. I'll be sure to update the blog with a flood of imagery as soon as possible.

For those of you who stopped by for some mind-blowing photographs instead of a baby update: I have something for you too.

Jane Marie and Joe. Wow. This was one of the most amazing weddings I've ever been to. See for yourself....


here's one gigantic post to make up for missing the past couple months

hey guys, if you're still out there then I think you deserve a really great post. i haven't avoided blogging because of laziness and i have been busy but that's not the reason either. i was testing your loyalty. i'm happy to say that you've passed. you are now in the circle of trust and i will reward you with 81 of my faves from the last couple months. I still have about 5 photoshoots and as many weddings in the works so I'll get those up here sometime in the next decade. maybe sooner... hope everyone in blog land is doing great. keep spreading the word about timwill photography. if there's anyone out there that can hook me up with a Europe wedding I'll give you something really cool. a high five. ..and maybe some free photography. i can keep sweetening the deal, just let me know what it'll take.

PS; in other news, baby Willoughby is due in 8 weeks. IT's a BOY. If you have any name suggestions send them my way. I've got a few ideas which i might post later but in the meantime, leave me a comment with your best name. we need first and middle : _ __ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ Willoughby

Savannah Magazine

Thanks so much to Annabelle Carr and Michelle Karner at Savannah Magazine for having me shoot a fashion spread for the new issue of Savannah Magazine. We had a great time shooting these images and ended up with lots more than we actually needed or were able to use. It was a ton of fun getting to step outside of my norm and shoot a little bit of fashion and it was really great working with such an amazing crew! I think there were about 7 other people there making everything come together! Anyways, take a break from my normal wedding photos and check out the layouts for Savannah magazine... Let me know what you think!








Maggie & Mitchell

Thanks for checking in guys. I'm on a 3 day blogging streak right now that's unheard of (in the world of Willoughby) and probably won't last but let's just ride this big, beautiful wave as long as we can. Today we have a wonderful couple hailing from Alabama. Ladies and Gentlemen; Maggie and Mitchell.


fashion bridal

A couple weeks ago we did a very quick bridal shoot for a couple local vendors: Charleston Street Florist of Augusta and House of the Bride (also Augusta). We were pretty limited with time but our model, Ms. Teen South Carolina, made it pretty easy...


matt & sarah

You may remember these guys from a really great engagement session we did together in Atlanta last year. (matt and sarah's engagement)

They had their wedding at the Mansion on Forsyth Park in Savannah, GA back in November. I'm just now getting to blogging them. Sorry Matt and Sarah! Anyways, they had a gorgeous wedding and the BEST band I have EVER SEEN (at a wedding of course). They were amazing. Each member of the band took turns with lead vocals so there was a wide range of styles. The dance floor was packed from the moment the bride and groom entered to the moment they left.

Enjoy the pictures, leave me a comment (if you have a few minutes to kill) and check back tomorrow for an engagement session and another wedding the next day...
