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.

Geoff + Jennifer : Vintage engagement

                                                                      I often encourage couples to do a theme of some sort for their engagement shoot. Some do, some don't. Either way is great. Using a vintage P-51 Mustang airplane and a 40's vintage theme to go with it is just pure fun! Geoff and Jennifer pulled it off so well, right down to the white gloves. HOw about that red dress? Love it. Geoff's vintage military uniform also sealed the deal. I am going to be shooting their wedding in October, overseas. They will be married at the Turks and Caicos islands, not far from Cuba. This is going to a gooood. I've known Jennifer for around 16 years or more, and she's a great friend. Geoff has also become a friend, and I'm so glad Jennifer has found the right one for her. Congrats to you both! Let's fly. To see my main website and galleries, click this link www.ShaneIrwinPhotography.com

Niki + John at Top O' Woodlands

Another beautiful Saturday wedding. Some light clouds in the sky (which us photographers love), and a gorgeous wedding venue (Top o' Woodlands), and two very kind people who are in love. Add in their close friends and family, and we had one beautiful, stylish, classy wedding. Thanks John and Niki for the pleasure of photographing your wedding! Thanks to Aaron for helping. Aaron is my longest tenured second shooter, and he got some great ones again. I especially love the shot of the flower girl on her tip-toes, trying to see when is her time to walk the aisle.

Becca + Lowell wedding

I'm still catching up on my blogging, and I hope to blog much more in the near future. This post features Rebecca and Lowell, who's beautiful wedding I shot back in February. Most of us wedding photographers don't post many photos from the actual ceremony, for various reasons, but I'm throwing one out there today because it's so beautiful. I had a great vantage point and was able to capture some great ceremony photos. After the wedding and reception, the new couple and I met up again later at Opryland Hotel, which is where I shot the final image in this post. Shannon, my new wife, was still my fiance at the time of this wedding. She came along as an assistant to Aaron and I. That was very helpful, but also served as a great way to show her the ropes of wedding photography, as she is now in training, being as she is a naturally gifted photographer. Becca has been so very kind to offer lots of help for the wedding of Shannon and I, which took place a couple weeks ago. What a great person! Lowell is a great match for her. I hope everyone enjoys the new photos. I will try to blog again next week.

Erin + Matt -- Little wedding in the park

This is a very recent wedding I shot. Although I have older work I want to blog soon, I couldn't resist throwing a few of these up on the blog quickly. I love little outdoor weddings.

Erin and Matt were married in Clarksville last Friday. One of my second shooters, Shellene, captured the last photo of this blog. It was a surprise wedding guest. He had 4 legs, and was very happy for the new couple! He just came running out of nowhere to greet them after the ceremony.

Thanks Matt and Erin for the great day.
