Nashville Wedding Photography – Jason & Michelle

Posted in Weddings

Have you all missed us?  Sorry for the huge gap in posts, but it has been one crazy fall. We have lots of beautiful weddings that we are looking forward to sharing over the next few weeks. First up, Jason & Michelle! Their wedding was over a year in the making and we were so excited to see everything come together. We had been hearing about all the fun details throughout the planning process and their big day definitely didn’t disappoint. From the beautiful venues, Congregation Micah & Loews Vanderbilt, to the incredible flowers from A Village of Flowers & the yummy cake from Dulce Desserts, everything was perfect.  We know the effort everyone in their family put in to make this the perfect day for this special couple and we were so honored to be able to be a part of it.  Jason & Michelle, we hope you guys had an amazing honeymoon in Tahiti!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

Posted in For Photographers

This post goes out to all of our photographer friends! As many of you know we are huge fans of PartnerCon.  If you have talked “business” with us for any amount of time, we’ve probably told you all about this great convention.  In case you haven’t heard about it, we thought this post was in order!   Last year we had a great time meeting new people and learning tons of useful information.   This year PartnerCon is returning to New Orleans, one of the greatest cities on earth! If you haven’t already registered, there is still time.   Jump on over to the PartnerCon Website and sign up.  You won’t regret it!

This year we are very excited to announce that Phil has been selected as one of the speakers!  Phil will be speaking on the topic of SEO and positioning your website for your market, but that is just one of the many great topics that will be covered this year. Besides the valuable information you will receive,  you can count on making some lasting friendships and meeting some like minded photographers…we know we have!

We can’t wait to see everyone there. If you see us be sure to say hi and introduce yourself if we haven’t met face to face!

Chattanooga Wedding Photography – Joel & Kristin

Posted in Weddings

We are so excited to share Joel & Kristin’s beautiful wedding!  They were married last month at the private residence of Joel’s parents right outside of Chattanooga.  These two were so fun & up for anything.  They braved the heat and it was totally worth it..they looked stunning and location was amazing!  Joel swears his mom is not an interior decorator, but if she isn’t, she should be!  Not only was the inside of their home so fun to shoot in, the outdoor ceremony was the absolute perfect setting for a wedding.  We had trouble narrowing this one down folks, but we tried…enjoy!

St. Augustine Florida Wedding – Meredith & Steve

Posted in Weddings

Meredith and Steve had a beautiful wedding in St. Augustine Florida last spring and we are just now getting around to sharing some of our favorite images from the day. We toured the historic area with the couple and we were able to get some great shots at some incredible locations. St. Augustine is a beautiful old Spanish city, the oldest city in the U.S. in fact. There was no shortage of great locations to shoot even though I am sure this couple would have looked great anywhere!
