Nashville Engagement Session – Adam & Mallory

We are so excited to photograph Adam & Mallory’s wedding next month! Until we get a chance to share their beautiful wedding images, check out these fun engagement images Phil captured with these two in downtown Nashville. Love a couple with great smiles!:)

Blake & Emma Nashville Engagement Photography

I remember when we first met this super cool couple. They came in for our initial consultation and it was one of those that just clicked! We had so much fun just hanging out and talking that I am pretty sure our first meeting lasted twice as long as most! We loved these guys from the beginning and I remember saying, “they were cool, I hope they book!” to Mindy when they walked out the door. Well, we were lucky enough to snag this couple and we are super glad we did! You can honestly see how much fun they have with each other in their images. We walked around downtown Nashville and had some fun grabbing some shots then ended with the obligatory Titans jersey shot on the walking bridge. Blake & Emma also get bonus points for being so patient as they were the first couple we worked with after having our baby and they were very understanding! Check out a few from their engagement session below. Wedding pics coming soon!

 

Summer - Yay! Emma you look beautiful!! Congrats.

Franklin Engagement Session – Steven & Megan

Phil had a blast wandering around downtown Franklin with Steven & Megan for their beautiful engaement session! They are such a sweet couple and we can’t wait to shoot their wedding next month at Carnton Plantation…enjoy a few of our favorites from their session:)

Gear Review – The new Tom Bihn Camera Insert

I recently had the great pleasure of acquiring an amazing new piece of gear. For ages we’ve carried around SEVERAL bags to shoots, always scrambling to find bits an pieces of what we need tucked here and there. I can’t even tell you how many times a lens cap or battery has gone missing. That’s why I am so excited that Tom Bihn has officially entered the camera bag market. We were first introduced to this bag maker when we were searching for the perfect bags to take on our Europe trip. We ended up getting a couple of the Tom Bihn Aeronaut bags and LOVED them. I have kept a close eye on what Tom Bihn has been doing ever since. So, I will be doing a full video review of these bags and the new AMAZING ‘Camera Insert’ in the near future. The camera insert is a simple, genius and modular solution. It basically lets you create a custom camera bag system to fit your needs. Below is a quick “what’s in my bag” shot of the insert paired with my Tom Bihn Brain Bag backpack, love it! The camera insert securely holds your camera bodies and lenses and then slides into the backpack. Tom Bihn also has a great assortment of smaller bags and pouches that keep everything nice and organized. I was lucky to get my hands on one before they hit the market. Stay tuned for more info and a video review!tom bihn camera io

 

Marty Paoletta - Nice bag!

I am an architectural/interior photographer and love to do travel photography on the side.

My wife and I travel to Peru at least once a year. There is so much to photograph! Problem is the camera bag has always been an issue.

We like to go native and travel in taxis, buses, and on foot. Ergo the small back pack. I find that I could use three to four different lenses, but I can’t carry much in my current small bag, maybe two lenses at best.

Thanks for the article!

You might remember Tom & Alyxe from their Franklin engagement session we did back in December.  They also wanted to have some fun images in a more urban setting, so we had another session with them in downtown Nashville.  It’s so fun photographing these two…they are up for anything!  Enjoy a few of our favorites:)
