This is one of two weddings that I photographed last Memorial Day weekend. The groom, Eric Walberg, is an old friend of mine so I had really been looking forward to being a part of this wedding. The Gettysview Country club provided me with a golf cart to carry my lights around in and I had free reign to shoot wherever I chose on the course. It was a beautiful course on a beautiful Saturday. Just spending the day there has stoked me up to get out my clubs.

I'm so happy for Eric. He is a great guitar player, a great friend and an all around great guy... and he found a great girl to make music with!!!

Cheers,
-Matt

Rachel & Lou at Belle Meade Plantation in Nashville on May 25, 2008

These are photos from one of two Memorial Day weekend weddings that I shot. It has to be one of the busiest wedding weekends of the year. Rachel and Lou were married at Belle Meade Mansion. It was a hot but it was also a very beautiful ceremony. The whole wedding party was really into doing fun photographs which makes it a lot more fun for me! There were so many great photos from this wedding. If you are interested in seeing more, go to my proofing site at www.printroom.com/pro/mattandrews.

Passport to Europe @ the Frist Center for Visual Arts

For the second year in a row, I have volunteered my photography services for the Frist Center's volunteer appreciation party. I have a strong connection to the Frist since my wife, Samantha Andrews, is their Volunteer Services Manager. I was very proud of her last night. I know that she was able to straighten out a lot of last minute kinks and put on a great party. Sam originally hired dancers from Panty Raid Burlesque http://www.pantyraidburlesque.com to perform a cancan dance but due to an injury, they were unable to perform. The cancelation was last minute so she had to scramble on Monday night to find entertainment. Fortunately she found Tango Nashville www.tangonashville.com. The dancers were terrific. It was extremely dark in the auditorium, so the only way to shoot them was with flash or strobes and since the place was lit at candlelight levels and the dance was romantic, I had to fight the urge to fire away since I knew the flashes would be disruptive. I did pop off about three shots and I'll attach two of them. Cheers to my wifey for puttin' on a good soiree!

Sunset, Picnics, & The Nashville Symphony in Crockett Park in Brentwood

I really enjoyed strolling around the Symphony's May 19th performance at Crockett Park in Brentwood. The weather couldn't have been better. There were kids running around, blowing bubbles, throwing frisbees, couples on blankets, people walking their dogs, picnicing... and great free music.

I snuck behind the Eddie Arnold Amphitheater and found an entrance where I could get a great shot of the conductor with the colorfully dressed crowd in the background! I hope I wasn't too obtrusive, but my friend's at the Schermerhorn should be happy with the shot.

Fashion Photos of Kia & Jolita from this Past Weekend

Sam helped me out at this shoot where we shot some outfits from our friend Emily who is opening a store with a couple of her friends called Magpie Apparel. It hasn't opened yet but it won't be long before it takes Nashville by storm. It will be located on 12 South in the Mafiosos area. Here are a few of our shots from this weekend. Enjoy!
