A couple of weekends ago, Phil and I got to shoot Ashlee’s Sweet 16, held at the beautiful Richland Country Club. It was so much fun and a nice change of pace for us. It was fun living vicariously through these teenagers for a night. We hope Ashlee had a great birthday and a huge thanks to her parents for letting us be apart of it. Click here if you would like to view and order pictures!

There was nothing spared for this party…awesome decorations…Phil and I loved this huge 16 outside the country club made of balloons.

Ashlee’s name in lights on the dance floor.

We grabbed a quick family picture before the party started. The Moon family was great. Everyone seemed to have such a good time. Even Grandmom hit the dance floor!

We had the idea to setup a photo booth for the party and Mrs. Moon got the coolest backdrop for it. These pictures turned out so cute.

Cute one of some of Ashlee’s friends at the party.

Nashville Party Authority, the DJ, was great and kept everyone dancing.

A couple weeks ago, Phil & I traveled down to Memphis to photograph Tabitha & Kyle’s wedding. I just have to say that Tabitha is one of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen. She & Kyle are so sweet and you can see how much they love each other. I wish everyone had their dispositions. Even though it was 103 degrees outside and raining, and the air was out in the church, they held it together and maintained their sense of humor throughout the day. It made our jobs so much easier. We hope you guys love your photos as much as we loved taking them.

I love these pictures. The left shot was right after Kyle had seen Tabitha for the first time. It was just the two of them, and well… us, in the sanctuary. I love how Kyle is being gentle and just holding the side of her arm. The one on the right is the groom and his father working out the cuff links.

The church had some beautiful stainglass windows, and since we dealt without using lights for most of the day due to the heat, they served for some beautiful natural light for some shots. The one on the right was later in the evening at Central Station, a really cool reception location/ train station. We love the green lights in the background and the really cool old station bench.

The flowers were by Susan’s Florals out of Memphis. I love the silouette of Tabitha hanging onto the door of the trolley with her bouquet. All of the flowers were so pretty and I loved the simplicity of them.

After the ceremony, we took a quick detour down to Mud Island to get some shots before the reception. Phil and I are always wanting to do something fun with the bridal party shots, and these girls were up to it. I said “jump” and they said “how high?”…literally.

Another cute one of the girls…

We ended the night getting just a few more of the bridal party. These pictures crack us up.

A huge thanks to Tabitha & Kyle, Mr. & Mrs. Luckett & Mr. & Mrs. Armstrong for letting us be apart of your day. We had a blast. Also, a huge thanks to Jaime with Social Butterflies for keeping us all organized.

My best friend since the 8th grade, Bonnie, was married last Saturday. She married a wonderful guy, Brett. I made the trip up to Fort Wayne, IN, without Phil, to go to the wedding. It was a fun and emotional weekend. I’m so happy for Bonnie and Brett and I wish them a lot of happiness! Here are a few of my favorite moments:

Bonnie and Brett had posted these cute signs to lead everyone to the wedding site

Bonnie’s flowers were beautiful. They were made by a florist named Snow White. Turns out that was the florist’s legal name. How cool is that??

Brett’s Mom & Dad owned this great vintage car. Of course we had to take advantage of it as a backdrop for some great pictures.

Bonnie and Brett had a very sweet, intimate ceremony. I love how happy Bonnie looks in this picture.

Yep, they did it! They creamed each other with cake. It was hysterical.

Phil turned the big 2-8 last Monday. We all headed out to Hendersonville, TN to play outdoor laser tag last Saturday. It was a blast. These pictures were all taken with a little point and shoot, so of course, they’re not perfect, but they were too funny not to share.

This is my Dad, Leroy, enjoying the batting cages.

Then we all headed out to the fields for some laser tag. As you can see we can’t decide if we’re suppose to look tough or happy.

The Thornton Men. Phil’s brother Greg, his Dad Harry, and Phil. Sure it’s all smiles now, but 5 minutes before hand they were at war!

Someone suggested that we do a Charlie’s Angels pose. So, my dad and brother, Scott, jumped in. My dad’s face cracks me up. He’s a happy angel.

Abby and Nathaniel. Again…act tough or happy??

Then we all headed to eat at Steamboat Bills. We were extremely exhausted from running around all day. Phil was so excited, he got a pair of Heely’s (the rollerskate shoes) and an ipod (finally!!) I’m sure he’ll blog more about those later. Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate with us!

Here are a few of our favorite shots from our most recent wedding. Our good friends Emil and Leslie trusted us with the photography for their big day. The weather was perfect (a little warm but beautiful) and the setting was amazing. Ceremony and Reception were held in the beautiful St. George’s Episcopal Church in Belle Meade. Leslie was a gorgeous bride and Emil and his groomsmen looked super sharp in their serious seersucker suits (say that 5 times fast). Congratulations Emil and Leslie, we had a ton of fun!
