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!

Norm Lacey Outdoor Designs

I had the amazing privilege of being asked to capture Norm Lacey’s astonishing outdoor creations.  This man can take your dull boring backyard and make it into a resort!   Not only does he take your vision and morph it into a design, he will painstakingly place each and every stone to insure its perfect.

Just a couple of things to notice on this design: there is a wicked outdoor kitchen complete with grill and sink.  The fireplace with wood boxes on either side will make sure that your guests stay toasty warm.  A water feature in front of the pergola will provide the relaxing sound of running water.  And last but not least are the Tempest Torches; I’ve never seen anything like them!  They are designed in a such a way that the fire swirls inside of the enclosure and looks like a tornado.

Please check out Norm’s website at www.outdoordesignsonline.com.
