Oliver | The Kitten

Oliver entered our lives a few weeks ago.  Hillary – my fiancee- thought our dog Milton, whom I will introduce in another post, needed a friend.   Someone that he could run and play around the house with.  There was an ad from a woman who found some abandoned kittens on the side of the road.  Since they were so young, she believed that something had happened to their mother.  This kind woman took these kittens in, fed them, and gave them to deserving homes.  Luckily one of the homes was ours.

Just for the record, I was not a cat person.  Not sure why, just wasn’t.  Oliver has changed my mind.  His curiosity and fearlessness is amazing to observe everyday and all of the time.  Here are a couple of shots I’ve taken of him recently.  Don’t worry – there will be more.

Andrea | Bridal Portraits

I met Andrea at Hazelpath Mansion in Hendersonville, TN to do some lovely bridal portraits. As you will see, Andrea really turned it on for this session and killed it!  Not only was her dress amazing, but she is a natural model. Her smile and expressions were so natural and easy to capture.

Thank you Andrea for making my job so easy, and I look forward to posting the wedding pictures!

Mrs. Brentwood & Susan G. Komen present Capitol Goes Pink for the Cure!

I had the amazing opportunity to photograph the Capitol Goes Pink for the Cure event at the Tennessee State Capitol in downtown Nashville, TN.   This event raised awareness for breast cancer by lighting up the State Capitol pink for several days.  It was a very touching evening that included many cancer survivors.  Not only were their stories moving, but their strength and determination to beat this terrible disease was overwhelming.  The event was sponsored by the Susan G. Komen foundation and Kari Wagner, Mrs. Brentwood America.  Ruby Tuesday generously donated $5000 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and Kari was there to accept it. If you’d like to donate to the Susan G Komen foundation, visit their website to make a charitable contribution to this amazing cause.

Claire and Tyler – A Puckett’s Grocery Wedding

This wedding was absolutely gorgeous! The day started out at Claire’s parents home where the girls and her got ready.  Tyler and Claire wanted a nice country setting for their wedding, and low and behold the perfect place was in the beautifully decorated barn at Grace Chapel.  After the ceremony, the party moved over to Puckett’s Grocery and Restaurant in Franklin where Claire’s parents and her run the place.  Tyler works at Rebel Brewer which is a beer home-brewing  supplier. He made a wonderful assortment of beers one of which was a black stout for the guests – great job by the way!

Here are a few of the images from their amazing wedding.  Enjoy!

Kelly and Jim – A 40s theme

Kelly and Jim…..rock!  They had a 40s themed wedding.  How awesome is that?  As you can see in the images, Kelly sported a gorgeous gown with gloves, pearls, and a birdcage.   While Jim and the guys were all decked out OG (original g) style.

After the ceremony, everyone headed over to 3rd aVenue South for a period reception and BOOM!  Kelly busts in the room in a completely different dress!

You two owned this wedding and made it one for the books!
