Nashville Engagement Session – Paul & Jennifer

Paul lives in Canada. Jennifer lives waaay up North, right below Canada. Jennifer’s family lives in Kentucky.  No one is from Nashville, but we’re so glad they are deciding to bring all of their friends & family down here for a wedding/vacation and we get to be apart of it! Even though they live far away, we have already had a couple of chances to hang out and get to know them before their big day. They’re a super sweet couple and we are really looking forward to their wedding in July with the fantastic Mary Alice of A Delightful Day! Last month they made a trip down to take care of many wedding details, one being their engagement session. We had lots of fun, and even though they “said” they weren’t comfortable in front of the camera, I think they pretty much nailed it:)

Nashville Wildhorse Saloon Private Party – Olhausen Billiards

Last weekend Phil and I photographed a private birthday party for the owner of Olhausen Billiards, Donny Olhausen.   Olhausen makes beautiful pool tables, some of which fill the entire 3rd floor of the Wildhorse Saloon where the party was held.  Here are a couple fun images from the night…enjoy!

Great shot of Donny proudly standing next to his pool tables & another shot of the “surprise!” moment.

Nashville Engagement Session – Ryan & Jessica

We had so much fun a couple of weeks ago photographing Ryan & Jessica’s engagement session in downtown Nashville.  They are such a sweet couple and we are so excited to shoot their wedding next July.  It will be held at the swanky new Hutton Hotel!  We love shooting in new places:)  Anyways, here are a few of our favorites from their engagement session.  Enjoy!

New Orleans “Day After” Session – Ken & Lindsey

So here is the big finale for Ken & Lindsey’s wedding…so sad to see it end!  These guys were troopers and woke up early the day after their wedding to meet us in the French Quarter for a “day after” session.  For those of you who do not know, a “day after” session is a session that happens after your wedding (pretty self explanatory).  It can be the day after but some couples opt to do these weeks after their wedding.  The great thing is we have more time to spend with the bride & groom than we normally do at a wedding, and it we also get to be a lot more creative!  Anyways, we had a ton of fun with these guys and we love how they let us do whatever we wanted:)  Enjoy!

Franklin, TN Baby Portraits – Mason!

A couple of weeks ago, Phil and I photographed a cool little dude, Mason.  He just turned 9 months old and is one happy baby, which makes our job easy!  Until Phil and I have our own little guy, we will go ahead and give the award for cutest baby ever to him:)
