Matt and Heather

I had a great time taking photos of my good friends Matt and Heather.  We went to Octoberfest in Germantown and got some really great shots amidst all the hustle and bustle going on downtown.  They did a great job ignoring their surroundings and acting as if they were the only ones around.  Sorry if it was a little awkward.    We got some great shots because of the surroundings- and of course because of the good looking couple.  I love you guys!

Where the Wild Things Are

If you haven’t seen Where the Wild Things Are I would recommend it for the awesome soundtrack and beautiful shots.  It really makes you want to go run out in the woods, yell, and play.  I shot these photos a few days before I saw the movie but as I was processing them later in the week I immediately thought of the movie.  I love these kids and I love how completely different their personalities are.  Thanks Felicia for coming back to me over and over again- I love watching your kids grow up and of course hanging out with you!

Sneak Peak

Brian and Jennifer- I had a blast at your wedding.  Your family and friends were so sweet.  Here are a few fun moments for your big day.

We had a contest to see if the guys or girls could come up with a more creative photo.  I think the girls won.  What do you think?

Conley/Dindo Wedding

I wish you both lots of happiness in your marriage.  I loved being apart of your wedding and getting to know you both.  Thanks!

Big thanks to Collin Fatke who assisted me with this wedding!  He rocks!

Small town country meets high fashion.

Blake and Lindsey got engaged and few months ago.  I was so honored when they asked me to take their wedding, engagement, and bridal photos.  I have known Lindsey for many many years and have just gotten to know Blake over the past year.  Blake is a sweet, down to earth, country boy and Lindsey is an awesome hair stylist and always has the cutest clothes!  It’s so great to see them interact.  =)  It’s cute really!  So here are a few engagement photos which are awesome- and Lindsey’s  bridal portraits are finished but are torturing me because I can’t post them!  AHHH!  She looks amazing in her dress.

And last but definitely not least- my favorite!!!!  It’s so Calvin Klein with a Megan Twist.

The Carpenter’s Reception

Jason and Leslie had their wedding reception at Cellar 1 in Downtown Nashville.  This place had a really intimate and unique feel.  Here are a few of my favorite moments of the night.  Thanks guys for letting me be apart of your fun evening!

P.S. We had an Alabama Groom’s Cake at our wedding and Jason’s blew ours out of the water!  Awesome cake!!!!

Happy Anniversary!

I have had several couples ask me to take their one year anniversary photos in their wedding attire.  This is an awesome idea for those who

a. Want to wear their dress again

b. Didn’t have a lot of time on their wedding day to take couple photos

c.  It’s just fun to hear people on the street yell “congratulations” or “you look beautiful!”

So I present to you the Strunks- Happy One Year Anniversary.  Hope you love the photos, you guys look great!

Finally!

I love taking bridal portraits because you can take your time- (except when its about to rain), get the lighting right, get some sweet shots of the bride, and it also takes away an element of stress from the wedding day because its one less thing to cram in.   The one draw back is I can’t post them till after the wedding!!!! Here is Jennifer Conley’s bridal portraits.  She married Chad at The Hermitage (Andrew Jackson’s home) in a quaint, candlelit,  little chapel.  It was very romantic.  We went to the Hermitage a month before the wedding and took her bridal portraits in one of the gardens.  They turned out amazing.  Brides- this is an amazing place to get married if you love gardens or little chapels. Let me know what you think.

Holly, thanks for inviting me into your home to capture your family.  I had a great time!  You have a beautiful family.

My sweet cousins

I took these a while ago and never posted them.  I have to say- these are some cute kids!  =)  Beware I have a lot of favorites.

We went to some great locations- The Carnton Plantation and a secret spot that my Aunt showed me.  Maybe I can take you there sometime.
