Ken +Joy's wedding by the lake.


Ken and Joy were married October 1st, and the weather was very cooperative for an outdoor wedding by the lake. The ceremony took place under a huge gazebo. I came to know Ken and Joy when I shot the wedding of Joy's nice, Amanda, earlier in the year in June. Soon, in November, I will be shooting the wedding of Amanda's sister Andrea. I know the family fairly well by now, and I feel like a family friend.

This time of year is always my busiest, and I'm usually lucky to get any time for blogging in the autumn months. I'll hopefully be back on track with more blogs ASAP. For now, enjoy the new photos!

Vince + Emily engaged. Clarksville


Yes, I'm a big fan of balloons in photographs. Vince and Emily like them too. We spent a few hours in Clarksville, at two different locations. One location was at Riverwalk, a popular spot for the area.

Sometimes I blog a lot of photos, and sometimes just a few. Balloons are usually a great way to get me to blog a LOT. The color palette, the moving action, the wide open spaces I use for backdrops all makes for a grand collection of photos to share.

One thing I like the most about an engagement shoot, is getting to know the couple more than I had in the past. Likewise, they get much more familiar with me, and on the upcoming wedding day, we are like old friends. Each couple has their own dynamics, both with me, and with themselves as a couple, and that is part of my job that I appreciate so much. Speaking of upcoming weddings, theirs is coming up on November 12th. I'll be there.
