Andrew & Alexis: Just Married
June 25, 2006 | Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment
I spent Saturday afternoon and evening at the beautiful Cheekwood Mansion in Belle Meade shooting Alexis & Andrew’s fabulous wedding and reception. I was actually the second shooter, helping my good friend Andrea Hallgren, who I met through our Pictage User Group.
Even though we did their lovely portrait session on Wednesday and got tons of images of them together, they had a different kind of happiness on their face following the ceremony, when they were officially Husband and Wife.
They had a lovely tent reception behind the mansion, with an awesome dinner and good music. They rode away in a cool antique jaguar also…so nostalgic, like something out of a movie.
A big thank you to Andrea for inviting me to help cover such a fun event, and to the Keyser and Kelly families for being gracious hosts! Congratulations!
Stewart Family

I had a great time with the adorable Stewart Family on Saturday morning. We did baby Bradley’s 3-month portraits, along with some fun photos of big sisters Parker & Emery, and then headed out to Cannonsburgh for some shots of the whole family. We had a good time, and it was hard to narrow the pictures down to just a few to post. Thanks for letting me photograph your family!

Meet adorable Christine & Drew and enjoy a few of their engagement pictures. We caught up with each other today at Hilltop-Rosenwald Park in Smyrna and just missed the rainshowers. Our weather was cooler than the rest of the week, but still a little muggy.
This couple is getting married in Huntsville, AL in early September and I am really excited to make the trip to document their day. We’re going to have a great time. It was good to see y’all today and I am looking forward to the wedding!
Noah & his Family

This precious boy is Noah, and I had a lot of fun with him and his parents today at Winstead Park in Franklin. I was so proud of how pleasant he was, despite the hot weather. Mom and Dad and I were all sweating, and he was having a great time running around.
Thank you for the honor of photographing your new family. God bless you as you raise this wonderful child. Congratulations!
Andrew & Alexis at Cheekwood
June 21, 2006 | Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment
I had a BLAST as a second shooter for my good friend Andrea Hallgren this afternoon at the beautiful Cheekwood Botanical Gardens in Nashville. Alexis and Andrew were so sweet together, and they looked great even in 90+ degree heat. They held up nicely and you should have seen Andrew - man, she’s getting a great husband!
Andrea was shooting more formal portraits today and I came along to catch a few candid moments in black & white. I mean, this is my absolute favorite thing to do - so how could I turn down the chance? The results were fantastic.
Andrea taught me a lot today about the way she does a portrait session with a bride and groom. She really did a great job working with this couple. I am really pleased I had this opportunity. Thanks Andrea! I am looking forward to their wedding on Saturday evening. More great images to come.
Nicole & Chad are H-O-T

Well, really this evening we were all hot. It was a cool 98 degrees today in Rutherford County, but it started cooling off by the time I met up with Nicole & Chad for their engagement session this evening.
These guys are a really cute couple. Nicole had their outfits coordinated perfectly, and the images are so sweet.
Their wedding is in late July and I am really looking forward to it. Their wedding party will be wearing the most awesome teal blue dresses - I saw photos today of Ashley, the bride’s sister, and I just know everything is going to look great.
