Jared + Tara Engaged

Happy New Year!  Today is January 1st, 2014.  I am going to vow right here and now--that I will spend much more time blogging this year than I did last year. Consider it done!
     Here are a few samples of the fun engagement photo session I had with Tara and Jared. We started on the Shelby Street walking bridge in downtown Nashville. We then worked our way around town,  onto 2nd Ave, even dropping in to shoot a few inside of Old Spaghetti Factory. (one of my most favorite places to eat!)  This is where they will be having their rehearsal dinner at in May.  We finally shot a few  photos at Riverfront Park, right by the Cumberland River.  I will be shooting their wedding in early May, and we are much looking forward to it.
    They do like zombies. So we included some little green zombies in the photos!  It was extremely  cold on this day, but the zombies did not seem to mind a bit!  As for us humans, we were doing all we could to keep our mortal bodies warm.
   Keep an eye out some time after May for their wedding photos!  You can also see more of my work at my main website, ShaneIrwinPhotography.com

Eric + Stacy engaged. Arrington Vineyard

Eric and Stacy are going to be married on July 6th in Clarksville!  I made my 2nd trip to Arrington Vineyard for this awesome engagement session, and they were tons of fun!  We shot this session many months ago, and I was planning to post this engagement session blog when we got closer to their wedding date.  Well, I nearly forgot to post it, but I don't know how, because this is one of my favorite, most beautiful engagement sessions!   Here are some of the highlights in these photos.  The wedding is soon to come.

Zach + Tiffany engaged

OK, I have seriously been MIA on my blog this year!  Some self discipline is in order.  ((smack))

This post is a showcase of a wonderful couple who lives near to me. Meet Zach and Tiffany!  We did some serious backwoods trail blazing to get to the location you see here. We had a great adventure of a time doing this, and we were thrilled with the results.

Donnie + Michelle engaged

I had a great time downtown with Donnie and Michelle when I shot their engagement photos. They will be married in early September at Carnton Plantation. This is just a quick preview, as I will add a few more photos to this blog entry, soon. Thanks Donnie and Michelle for the honor of shooting your upcoming wedding! Visit my main website HERE.

Kevin + Kim engaged. Nashville

Kevin and Kim were engaged some months ago, and yes I'm finally getting around to blogging a few of their photos. I don't blog every photo shoot I do, but sometimes I forget to blog something I wanted to. Actually, I just photographed their wedding a couple weeks ago, and I will be blogging that soon as well. They are a very fun couple, and just wait till you see their very stylish wedding at the Historic Crockett Theatre in Lawrenceburg, TN. We got some amazing photos that day, with my wife Shannon as my second shooter. For now, enjoy these few photos from the engagement session of Kevin and Kim. We walked around downtown Nashville and shot in several locations. To see my main website and galleries, visit HERE.

Dylan + Andrea engaged

Dylan and Andrea are going to be married next week, and I'm only now getting their engagement photos blogged! To say I've been busy is to not say it strong enough. This is the busiest time of year for me, as usual. There are lots of photo shoots I don't even get around to blogging at all, but I try to get most.

I met Dylan and Andrea when I was shooting the wedding of Andrea's sister Amanda. Also, as seen in my previous blog, the wedding of Ken and Joy. Joy is the aunt! What a fun family.
Andrea and Dylan, I will see you soon in Bowling Green, KY. on your wedding day. Let's capture some memories.

Tia + Ryan engagement. The Wizard of Oz

Today as I write this blog, it is actually the wedding day of Ryan and Tia! I am finally getting around to blogging their engagement photos, which we had a great time shooting, by the way.

Ever watched an old movie with your sweetheart out in an open field, with popcorn to boot? It's easy, just bring a TV with rabbit ears, some popcorn, a blanket, and each other. OK, yes I like engagement photos that have a theme. A theme that the couple loves and relates to, and is part of them. So, here it is! Watching tv together. (visit this blog again soon, as I will likely post a couple more photos from this shoot)


And now, time to pack up and go shoot their wedding in a few hours!

Amanda + Scott engaged-- Moss Wright Park

As busy as I have been, one would think I could be blogging a new photo shoot every other day. The thing with being so busy, is I haven't had time to write a blog! Finally, thanks to today's big expected thunderstorms, I can stay inside and catch up on some things, including showing off this wonderful couple.
This is Scott and Amanda. I will be shooting their wedding on June 11th. We had fun making some engagement photos at Moss Wright Park in Goodlettsville. I have actually never done a shoot there until now. They wanted a location with streams and trees, so this place popped into my mind while planning.
I'm looking forward to the wedding in June!

Jack Bauer--engaged!

Ok ok, it's not Jack Bauer, but it made a great headline!
Meet Joe and Kimberly. Here are a few photos from their recent engagement shoot, which we did in the snow. We purposely waited for a snowy day, as we thought it would go great with the Loveless Cafe and Motel area. Unfortunately the Loveless Cafe closed before we got there, due to snow, but we used the outside location anyway, for half of our shoot.

Thanks to this wonderful couple, they supplied my with some special hand and foot warming packets, which really helped. We also had a ton of fun shooting the Jack Bauer look alike shot, which you see here at the bottom. Try posing, and copying Jack Bauer's serious look, with a camera in your face, without cracking up!
Cheers to Kimberly and Joe. Thanks for a fun day.

Deuce + Amber engaged. "The barn"

March 19th, Deuce & Amber will be married. Oh yes, I will be there. In the meantime, we have some pretty cool engagement photos to hold us over!

I had scouted out a few locations for the shoot that day, and what you see is what was chosen after 2 hours of my scouting. However, it's not always easy finding a beautiful location that is accessible. At one point, I drove down a side road, pulled over, got out of my vehicle and was shooting a couple of test photos of the area, when a man in a golf cart drove out from his house to promptly tell me I was on private property and I need to leave now! He was smiling, but his words were very to the point. I didn't actually see a shotgun at his side, but I strongly suspect one existed. I left. I eventually found the locations you see in the photos.

Upon meeting up with Deuce and Amber an hour later, in a more friendly environment, we had fun shooting these photos(and a lot more). At one point, one of them ( I will keep the identity secret) bumped their head pretty good on a 2x4 in the tobacco barn. I hope there was not a huge welt! Overall, it was a great time. The clouds were perfect for photography, and we had fun making photos. See you both in March.
