Nashville Wedding Photography – Ryan & Casey

Ryan & Casey had a beautiful winter themed wedding this past December at Union Station.   It was so fun getting to photograph a Christmas wedding…I loved all the reds & unique addition to the flowers like pine cones & berries.  These two definitely knew how to incorporate their personalities into the day as well.  Check out the special guest that showed up during the reception & also the details on the wedding cake.  Can you tell these two are HUGE Predators fans??  Casey & Ryan, you guys were awesome to work with!  We will miss you and your “Jersey Shore” fist bumps:)  Enjoy a few of our favorites!

Nashville “Anytime” Session – Devan & Jesse

Hope everyone is staying warm out there…we’ve been loving the snow but are anxiously awaiting Spring!  Speaking of freezing cold weather, we are so excited to share Devan & Jesse’s “anytime” session.  These two were in town last month for ImagingUSA and we were honored when they asked us if we could photograph them while they were in town:)  Devan has her own fantastic photography business, Devan Whitson Photography, out of Illinois.  Despite the 20 degree weather, Devan & Jesse worked it!  Enjoy a few of our favorites-

Ashley’s Bridal Session at Southall Eden!

Here are a few of our favorites from Ashley’s bridal session at Southall Eden. I wish we had a behind the scenes shot from this session. You would have seen Mindy and me wrapped up in several layers of clothing freezing our tails off! Ashley, however, didn’t even let the cold phase her. She just kept working it, laughing and looking great. Here are some shots to prove it:)

Freezing temperatures and storm clouds on the way but Ashley just couldn’t stop smiling! That’s why we love her!

Nashville Day After Session – Chandra & Matt

So, as you all know by now, we LOVE day after sessions.   We won’t go into why we love them again, but hopefully when you see the images below, you’ll see why:)  This is our grand finale for Matt & Chandra!  We spent an entire afternoon with these two, going all over the place, including the lovely Cedarwood where they were married.  It was a blast.  Enjoy a few of our favorites!

Cedarwood - Some great photos and new perspectives at Cedarwood. I’m soooo happy to see these amazing photos and we know Chandra and Matt are thrilled! Nothing like a real pro behind the lens. Can’t wait to have you back in 2010.
