Clint & Hope - July 25 Wedding

Clint & Hope were married at Historic Carnton Plantation in Franklin, Tennessee. Hope was the first bride to get to use a new ready room built specifically for wedding parties. The weather was amazing and the photo opportunities at Carnton seemed endless. The ceremony was held beneath the biggest tree I've ever seen in Tennessee. It was really impressive! After the ceremony, while the wedding party was having their formal group photos made, the guests were invited to take a tour of the old antebellum home. The Reception took place at the UAW Hall in Spring Hill. I have to mention how amazing the DJ was! I will update this with his information soon (I have his card out in my car). He really worked hard to get everyone on the dance floor and put a fun spin on a lot of reception traditions. He did so in a way that made everything better for photos! I hope to work with him again soon!

Ireland, England, France

Sam and I just returned from a two week summer vacation. It was pretty amazing! I had never been to London and Sam had never been to Paris so we knew we would spend a few days in those cities but the rest of the agenda... we were able to make up as we went. We rented a car in Ireland and drove around for a few days stopping by castles and towers and beautiful countryside, then we took a ferry to Wales and visited Pembroke, Bath, Stonehenge, London, Dover, and then made our way to France where we spent 5 days in Paris leading up to the Bastille Day fireworks at the Eiffel Tower. The fireworks were built up to be an especially large show this year because it marked the 120th anniversary of the Eiffel Tower. As you can see from the photo, the tower lit up with flames and fireworks shooting out all over.
