Nashville Wedding Photographers - Phindy Studios

Earlier this month we had the awesome opportunity to photograph Ken & Lindsey’s wedding in New Orleans at the incredible Oak Alley Plantation.  It was so much fun…Ken & Lindsey are the best, not to mention they are both beautiful to photograph.  Their wedding had a fun theme of Mardi Gras, but we loved how it was understated.  Dawn with Premier W.E.D. did such an incredible job bringing it all together!  We have been so excited to share these images, so please enjoy some of our favorites.  Click here to register to view all of the images.  More to come from our “day after” session with these two in the French Quarter!

This is Ken’s son, Aiden, giving “LaLa” a kiss…he’s so stinkin’ cute!

Last but not least, two of our absolute favorites

We were so excited to photograph Brian & Marie’s wedding last month, not only because we love them, but because it was finally the kick-off to our 2009 wedding season!  Brian is a fellow member of The Nobility, which you may recognize from this wedding.  It’s always fun photographing a wedding with people we have photographed before.  The wedding was held in East Nashville.  We love weddings in this part of town…the churches are historic and beautiful.  If you are a bride and wanting Scarritt-Bennett but either can’t afford it or your date is already booked, seriously look in this part of town.

After the ceremony, we all headed to the Rymer Gallery for the reception.  This is also an insanely cool spot for a reception that I had never even heard of.   It was a playground for photographers…. all the crazy artwork served as really cool backdrops for shots, and the place is all white, which is perfect for photography.   Anyways, take a look at some of our favorites below and click here to register to view the entire event

Purple is going to be big this year!  It is so great to have a little color to work with.  (Brian’s socks were a wedding surprise for Marie.)

After we shot the bridal party shots James Bond Brian was able to jump in the mustang, save the world from destruction, capture an evil madman, and still make it back in time for his wedding.

Brian watching his wife walk down the aisle to him.

Here is a shot of Marie’s cool purple flats, and a shot of her using them to walk down the aisle!

Brian doing the “Happy Wedding Day” Dance!  I believe we were discussing ABBA when he decided to break it down.

You might recognize this hot couple!  We shot Stephen & Amanda’s wedding a few months ago. This photo cracks us up.  Stephen is halfway between a gangsta “what-up” and some sort of religious pose.  Which one?  You decide.

I am not positive but I am pretty sure that the man in the middle of these two ladies is getting a “double gooseing” right now (hence the faces!)

This $36,000 painting made a very nice background.  If anyone remembers the artist’s name please leave it in the comments below so I can link to him/her.

This was so awesome!  Brian & Marie sneaked upstairs to check out the art and spontaneously broke out in dance, their first dance in fact.  I am glad Mindy was able to grab this image, it might be my favorite from the night (can’t sneak one by her!)

We wrapped up the night with cool shot of The Nobility (Brian plays drums) and a drive away in the red mustang.

Thanks again to Brian & Marie, we truly were honored to be a part of your wedding day.  We hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed making them!

A few weeks ago Dawn with Premier W.E.D. asked us to photograph a private 40th birthday party she was planning.  Of course we jumped at the chance to work with her again, since it is always a great experience   The party was so fun, but since it was a private party, we decided to only blog some of the cute details that Dawn put together (& a cute one of Dawn hard at work!).  The theme was Auburn and I love it was carried throughout every little detail.

A few weeks ago we got the fantastic opportunity to mooch off of our dear friends, the McLellans, and hang out at their condo in Orange Beach, AL with some of our favorite people…who just happen to be wedding photographers as well    The trip was a blast, but since it was windy and dreary and we weren’t doing much hanging out at the beach, we decided to end the trip the right way by having an impromptu photo shoot.  The boys had tennis in mind so we went to Target to buy some sweat bands.  It started out just being a shoot of the boys, but of course the girls found some mini-stuffed dogs and it took off from there.   What can I say…the boys definitely have the comedy down and aren’t a bit shy to ham it up in front of the camera, but hopefully you can appreciate the girl’s tacky outfits just as much even though we are a little more camera shy!  So, below check out what Phil and I shot and you can check out everyone else’s images here:  the McLellan’s, the Carlson’s & the Scott’s.  (you might have to search on their blogs a little…they were a little quicker about getting up their shots…oh well, what can I say, we were in New Orleans shooting a wedding!) Note:  We love taking the post processing to the limit and trying new ideas on these images considering they are just for fun.  Let us know what you think!

This first one is probably the funniest.  Peter was totally goofing off acting like some sort of extreme photographer getting shots of the girls while in the kiddy pool.  Also, Peter was left out of the “HUGE GRAPHIC NAME BEHIND YOU IN THE PICTURE” thing from the last wedding photographer trip so we thought we’d hook him up in this post.  Peter is also new to twitter so be sure to follow him if you haven’t already, his twitter id is in the right photo below (and here)

Here is Mindy doing her best blue-steel and then cracking up about it.  Her theme was pink I guess.

This one of Sean cracked us up.  It looks like he is playing hacky-sac or something.  No, the tennis ball is not a product of Photoshop.

It looks like Chris is reading the text on the ground in this one!

Phil playing the tennis racket ukulele.

Okay, I know we already did a “BIG GRAPHIC WORDS BEHIND THE PERSON” image of Peter but I just couldn’t resist on this one.

The grand finale!

There are a few more of the girls to come in upcoming posts…so check back!

As we promised here are some more images from our engagement session with Ken & Lindsey   We shot some around downtown and also had access to a really cool condo at sunset!  These guys definitely wanted to include a little “Nashville” in their engagement session since they are getting married in New Orleans this weekend!  We are getting ready to pack up and head that way tomorrow to shoot their wedding and then a fun “day after” session with them in the French Quarter.   We are like two kids before Disneyworld right now.  For now, enjoy these images and we promise there is much more to come of these two after this weekend!
