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.

Dylan + Andrea: married

I know, I have been MIA on my blog for a long time now. After finishing up a very busy 2011 season, I took some to catch up on editing, business planning, getting engaged, moving, etc. Well, I'm back, and this is my first blog in too many weeks!

Wedding date 11/11/11
Dylan and Andrea, married at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Bowling Green, KY. What a gorgeous church! Normally, us wedding photographers don't show off many photos from the actual ceremony, but in this case, I'm going to. It was too beautiful not to.

Andrea and Dylan's wedding was the third in a trilogy of 2011 weddings that I shot for their family in 2011. One, being Andrea's sister, Amanda. Thanks to all of you for the honor of photographing your family. You are all great people to know.

Vince + Emily married at Ft. Campbell

Vince and Emily were married November 12th, 2011 at Ft. Campbell, KY. It was a very special location, overlooking a beautiful lake that rested on lower ground. Stunning!

Vince and Emily were awesome to work with! The wedding ceremony was beautiful, and the reception full of great moments and memories. I hope to post more soon....

Brandon + Jenny married in KY.

Brandon and Jenny, married in Bowling Green, KY., on Oct 8th, 2011. Not only was it a special day for the Marine and his new bride, and but next day was pretty fun too. We met up for one of my favorite things, a "day after" photo shoot. Back on with the wedding attire, and out for some great photo shooting adventures. They had access to a family saloon, as seen below, and also a cattle range, and a bridge, and some various country roads.

The wedding itself took place at a beautiful country church in Bowling Green. There were two young, friendly cats who followed us around outside the church all day as we shot various photos. At one point, while my attention was elsewhere, they commandeered my backpack style camera bag! (as seen below). Brandon and Jenny were a blast to work with, and I would love to keep them both as long term friends if they only lived closer. Good people!
I know this blog post is very photo heavy, but after two days of shooting, what else can I do?

Brittney rocks the dress in Paris

Welcome back to my camera, Brittney. Back in June of 2010, I shot the wedding of Brittney and Tommy (as seen in a past blog post) We had been in contact since then about some day doing a bridal photo shoot, in Paris, TN where she was married. They even have a mini Eiffel tower. So just recently, I made the trip to Paris, and we spent a couple hours shooting one of my "rock the dress" photo shoots. I love it!

We knew we would be visiting the mini Eiffel tower for a few shots, but the rest of the time was spent doing what I love to to, which is "drive and shoot". We ride around town looking for locations to shoot at. The always sparks creativity on the spot. We spotted some train cars with pink graffiti on them, and we use that, as well as the inside of one of the cars. (as seen below, with the streak of light coming diagonally through the side doors and hitting the other side. We also shot in the town square, and at a couple other spots. Of course, moving very quickly, as time is a huge factor. Late afternoon when the sun is low. That is the optimal time to shoot.

I also brought along a videographer to capture behind the scenes footage of the shoot, and that video is close to being done. I will post a link to see it, once it's ready. Thanks also to Tommy, Brittney's husband for being my assistant for the day, and holding lights and reflectors as needed.

Thanks for the great shoot, Brittney. You rock.
