Mountain Biking in Tsali, NC

So while those of you at the Wedding Expo got to meet Jemma and her lovely assistant Jillian, you missed out on the other half of Jemma Coleman Photography- me! David Coleman. Why would David miss such an awesome opportunity to meet all you lovely brides? Well, turns out I had a trip planned long before the bridal show to go mountain biking in North Carolina with family and friends. It was super rad, if a bit wet and muddy, but gnar was shred (which is a good thing) and memories were made. I snapped a few pics with the little camera during the times when I wasn't muddy or wet (which wasn't often).

Driving 8 hours after a day at work stinks, but I almost wanted to stop and take pics of this sunset from the roadside. Almost.


Four days in the tent. Sore back, but enjoyed the great outdoors with the starry view at night. The Jetta averaged over 36mpg for the trip, which is not bad for having a muddy bike on top of the roof!


The world is thankful Daniel is no longer sporting a mullet, but the stache is pretty…uh….awesomely terrible?


No, this is not an optical illusion: those abs are not from hours in the gym.


Busted lip: In case you’re wondering, no, the handle bar does not taste good. Oh, and this is me, in case you didn't remember me from the get to know us cards at the expo.


Quite the motley crew, but they didn't give me too hard a time for being a Florida fan.


Hated to leave a place as pretty as this, but all good things must come to an end!

Look out for future adventures of david and jemma! When we're not working, we try to do cool stuff.

Candy from Dad

How cool is my dad? He thought enough of me to give up some of his personal candy stash that Joyce (my stepmum) brings back from her trips overseas (she's a flight attendant).



This was about a month or so ago. I wonder if he'll send me some more candy so I can blog about it. hm, Daddy?

visit from me mum - Gainesville, FL Family Portraits

Because we were working on our birthdays this summer (david's is July 24th and mine is July 25th), we were out of town. My mum really wanted to hang out with us for the day, but alas, we were in Orlando and that's almost a three or four hour drive for her. Fortunately we were able to get together a little bit later on. While she was here, we went to see Julie & Julia which was a totally cute movie and great for us to watch together. We went out to get some food at Panera (yum!) and later went back to the house to hang out. David took a little time to snap some mother-daughter photos of us and here are a few of my favorites!

So, we were just visiting me dad and Joyce in South Carolina and we got a little excited about this here window light. you can see the light changes over the taking of the portraits. My dad was a great sport as he allowed me to take a bunch of fun photos of him. I think he had a little fun helping me out, even if I did have to bribe him with crunchy bars to get him to do it! - Jemma
