Fun Wedding Reception with Super T at Stones River Country Club

Amanda and Hugh were married on July 31, 2010 in Murfreesboro's First United Methodist Church.  I spent the whole weekend with them since I covered their rehearsal dinner and they not only looked great but they enjoyed their weekend the way I hope all brides and grooms do.  They held their reception at Stones River Country Club and the Tyrone Smith Review (Super T) helped them pave the way for a great party!

Earlier in the wedding day we decided to avoid the heat and humidity by staying inside the church for all of the photos in the lead-up to the ceremony and this wasn't a challenge with such a beautiful church.  There were amazing stained-glass windows and great window light, plus a beautiful stairwell and large mirrors.  We made time for a few shots of the bride and groom and wedding party on the golf course before they made their big entrance into the reception.

Super T and his band were amazing.  I'm blown away by his energy and the way they are able to get every last soul in the room to crowd the dance floor and fit half of the wedding party and their mothers on stage!  I turned around at one point and noticed a guy standing on a table waving a napkin around and saw the smokers out on the balcony watching through the windows as though they hated to miss a moment!  Twila and I set up a photobooth behind the bar and at one point our prop chest was raided and before I knew it there were people on the dance floor with top-hats, afro wigs, a viking helmet, and a woman was dancing with a football helmet.

Melissa and Ryan - Wedding in Lebanon, TN

Melissa is one of my wife's best friends so our whole family was involved in this wedding and for the 2nd time in a year, my daughter Sophie was a flower girl.  It was one of the hottest weddings that I've photographed this year at 100 degrees and humid but everyone stayed cool during the ceremony and reception and we kept the outdoor photos to a minimum.  The photobooth was a hit and the band at the reception was Super T (a.k.a. The Tyrone Smith Review).  I first saw Super T when I was a student at Ole Miss over 10 years ago.  I'm happy to say that he still strips down to his super T tights!!  He helped make for some great photos and I'm excited that my August 7th wedding will have Super T entertaining also!
