Jessica & Matt ~ 11.7.09

Lucky for Jessica & Matt (and me!), they chose the warmest day of fall to promise forever. They were married at Good Springs Free Will Baptist Church in Pleasant View, TN. We took advantage of the bright blue skies and autumn colored leaves by shooting some photos in the nearby field. Jessica’s warm color choices of chocolate, orange, and yellow accented the entire reception. My favorite moment was when Jessica’s sister cried as she gave her sis a goodbye hug. *sniff sniff* I may have shed a tear or two myself!

Julie & Seth ~ Nashville, TN wedding ~ 10.17.09

Julie & Seth are just the cutest little couple, and they had a fun wedding party that kept me on my toes all night! They were married at Monroe Street United Methodist Church in the Germantown area of Nashville, with the reception at the Sheraton Music City Hotel. Although it was a chilly day, we took all of the group and family photos outside in front of the gorgeous arches of the church before heading down the street with the wedding party to a colorful wall mural of the Nashville skyline. Good times continued at the reception as guests took over the dance floor to reenact the knife fight scene to MJ’s “Beat It.” Hilarious!

Flowers: Flower Express

Loni & Brandon ~ Hendersonville, TN wedding ~ 10.10.09

Brrr! It was the first super chilly day of fall as Loni & Brandon tied the knot in Hendersonville. We planned to shoot the wedding party photos after the reception at a nearby park…only to find a huge fall festival going on. Luckily there was another nice spot not far away, so everyone braved the chillbumps after an interesting ride in an H2 limo. *Note: H2 limos don’t really fit on a truck-and-boat lined road.*

Thanks for hanging out in the cold, ya’ll!

Jill & Mark ~ Hot Springs, NC wedding ~ 9.19.09

Jill & Mark were married at Fairview Methodist Church in Hot Springs, NC, amidst a beautiful mountain setting. After an abundance of, “Lord, please let it stop raining for a few hours” prayers, the sunshine popped out just long enough for the entire wedding and reception…and then the bottom dropped out! (Thanks for listening Big Man!)

Jill described herself as an “older, first-time bride,” but she was as nervous and giddy as a schoolgirl as she dressed and primped for her groom. It was adorable to watch and the ladies kept me smiling all afternoon. Mark was the most precious, attentive guy as he blotted Jill’s forehead and carried her train. Who said chivalry was dead?

Here are some memories from their big day.

Robyn & Jon’s wedding ~ 8.15.09 ~ St. Louis, MO

I couldn’t wait to shoot this wedding. Not only because Robyn and Jon (a.k.a. Schwarz) are friends of mine, but because I knew with most of the CTS Audio crew there, it would be a night to remember! Plus, spending the weekend in one of my favorite cities simply does not suck. =0) P and I even had time to take in a Cardinal’s game!



It was a grand ole time until a foul ball whizzed straight for me…and my $10K in camera equipment…
P and I both hovered over the gear just in time for the kid directly behind me to catch it!



The next day it was off to celebrate the big day! Robyn’s gorgeous Dere Kianggown was accented with tulle underneath the skirt in her theme color, pink!



The wedding ceremony was held at Solid Rock Ministries with the reception close by at Andre’s West. Hands down, the BEST green beans I’ve ever had!
Here are some shots from the day:





Check out the cake topper with the bride’s hand on the groom’s booty!





Most memorable moment: Schwarz’s headlight he wore while retrieving Robyn’s garter. PRICELESS!

Heather & Matthew ~ 7.25.09 ~ Gallatin, TN wedding

I’ve often said that once you’ve lived on a tour bus with someone, you are family. By that definition, Matthew is family! We met when we both worked with a touring music festival that was the brainchild of his father, Jeff, in ‘03 called ShoutFest. Some of my very best friends and long lasting relationships have come from that tour and ShoutFest will forever have a soft spot in my heart. **sigh!** I miss the road!

Matthew met Heather in bible study class at their church (how presh!) and never looked back. They were married at Long Hollow Baptist’s Gallatin campus. I was honored to be their photographer, and I thoroughly enjoyed the SF03 mini-reunion!

Lindsay & Jessie ~ 6.20.09 ~ Adams, TN wedding

All she had to say was that she wanted to pose with the Harley. I was ready to go! Lindsay & Jessie were married at A Country Chapel in Adams, TN. We had a great time even though the sun was blaring down! Here are a few shots from the day.

Melissa & Daniel ~ 6.5.09 ~ Carriage Lane Inn ~ Murfreesboro, TN

Everything is bigger in Texas, including love! Melissa & Daniel celebrated their wedding day at Carriage Lane Inn in Murfreesboro, TN, but they brought their TX spirit with them in the form of a Longhorn grooms cake and lots of family from the Lone Star state. The weather cooled down to perfection which is a Godsend in June! Here are a few shots from their big day…
