Ryan + Tia - Island Wedding

Gateway Island, Murfreesboro, TN. What a great place for a wedding! Surrounding water, and surrounding friends make for a great outdoor wedding. Ryan and Tia's friendship and love for each other is obvious, and inspiring. They are always up for another spontaneous round of "Rock, Paper, Scissors"!

The ceremony took place at Gateway Island, which was a really beautiful location. I'm so excited about all the colorful photos. The bridesmaids were each wearing a different color, which really helped brighten up the scene. Wedding planning was by Kennedy Occasions, and they really hit a home run here.

It's been fun knowing Ryan and Tia, and I'm thrilled about being chosen to shoot their wedding. The weather was good, the people were awesome, and the photos are looking good too. I know you both are excited to see the rest. Soon, very soon!

Adam + Theresa's wedding.

May 7th, 2011. Adam and Theresa were married in a beautiful backyard ceremony in Brentwood. I Wanted to share a few photos with you from this event. I think they convey the sense of the day's events. I love outdoor weddings!
I'm right in the middle of peak wedding season, so more blogs to come as soon as I have time, which is in short supply lately. Lots of outdoor weddings for me this year. Yeah, it's a heat wave lately, and I usually wear black. I still love what I do.

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!

Jenna's "Rock the dress" photo shoot.

This beautiful model's name is Jenna.  After about 3-4 hours of driving and shooting, we had created so many beautiful photos, I don't really have room to post them all. Below is a sample though!

I wanted to spend a few hours with a bride or a model so that I could show off some things that can be done when time is permitting. I want to encourage future brides to plan for lots of photo time on their wedding day.  Either that, or plan a "day after" shoot.  Or maybe a "Rock the dress" shoot. How about a "Trash the Dress" shoot?  (yeah, the dresses usually only get wet, not actually trashed)

   Jenna was great to work with, and I hope to shoot her actual wedding, whenever that day may happen!

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!

Sam + Amber married at "The Standard"

What a beautiful venue! I want to blog about 50 images from this wedding, but I'm going to keep it lower so Sam and Amber will have plenty of pleasant surprises when they get to see the entire collection.

   Sam and Amber were married a week ago at The Standard. They have such a great set of family and friends, and this wedding will be in my mind for years to come. Their venue is located in downtown Nashville, and it was such a gorgeous place, full of old classic settings and atmosphere. Very classy indeed.

  As usual, I had a blast being around this couple and their friends. I want to thank you both for having me capture your wedding in photographs. There are many more beautiful images yet to come.

Deuce + Amber's wedding in Clarksville

It was a gorgeous spring day, and perfect for a wedding. It was the type of weather a bride dreams of. The venue was Sango United Methodist church, and the stained glass windows that lined the walls of the sanctuary brought a colorful, pleasant burst of color into the scene.
Amber & Deuce have been a pleasure to know and to work with, right from the start. They also know how to have fun at a reception! Deuce and his guys had plenty of antics and surprises to keep everyone guessing what's next all night.
Thanks to both Amber and Deuce for trusting me to photograph your wedding. Let's do it again....for a 20 year renewal of vows. See ya in 20 years?
