Heart and Soul * A Benefit for the American Heart Association

Nashville's 6th annual Heart & Soul benefit for the American Heart Association at Worthan Lofts this weekend was a reschedule due to the snow a few weeks back.  I'm so glad they were able to reschedule to a date that I was available b/c I had a blast.  I'll be back next year and I'm bringing friends!!  

I set up a photo booth with my ring light in the basement of the VIP loft to take party pictures while the band performed above me.

The images are available and free for download at the following Flickr share site:

Enjoy!

That is Kate above in the red dress.  I'll be photographing her wedding on May 1st in Birmingham, Alabama.  It will be Party Booth II at the reception.  I can't wait.  Kate was a big part of the team who organized the benefit and she tells me it was a great success!

Sun & Snow

Jacob and Miranda have had a long engagement but their big date is just around the corner on March 27 at West End United Methodist Church.  I first met with them to discuss the possibility of being their wedding photographer over beers at Bosco's over a year ago. 

Fortunately Jacob drives a Jeep Wrangler so we had no trouble driving around Spring Hill finding snowy spots for their photos.  Rippavilla made a beautiful backdrop for their engagement shots.  One other photographer showed up for some landscape shots while we were there and I think he had the right idea.

It was doppleganger week on Facebook and I told Jacob that he reminded me of Jude Law but he said he usually gets Bradley Cooper and I can definitely see that.  You be the judge.  He and Miranda make a cute couple and I had fun hanging out with them.
