Dana & Joe - May 15, 2010 in Columbia, TN

Dana & Joe were married on May 15th in Columbia, TN.  It was another rainy wedding but we were able to go outside for some photos just before their reception and take advantage of the gardens at the Polk Home across from their reception site of the Memorial Building.  The tank was located at the American Legion across from the church so I had to drag the guys over there since I just finished
watching "The Pacific" on HBO.

The rest of their images are located at the following proof site:

Lindsay & Zed

Lindsay & Zed were married on April 18th at Elm Springs in Columbia, TN. It was such a beautiful wedding. I wish I could upload more photos to a blog b/c this wedding had it all from amazing weather to the bride and groom exiting on a horse drawn carriage to a great party at the Elk's Lodge.

Jane & Matt - January 24, 2009

I was really looking forward to Jane Uggla's wedding to Matt Patterson for several reasons. Jane is the younger sister of an old friend and former roommate of mine and she has been a lifelong friend of my younger brother Glennon. Also, I know the Uggla's put on good parties! The ceremony took place at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Columbia. It is my favorite church to photograph at in Columbia though the chappel was very dark and challenging during the ceremony. The church is located next door to the home of James K. Polk, the 11th president of the United States. We were lucky to be able to take advantage of the well kept garden behind the Polk Home and then only had to cross the street to get to the reception at the War Memorial Building.

Caitlin & Wyatt ~ June 21, 2008 Wedding

Caitlin and Wyatt were married in Columbia, Tennessee in Caitlin's parent's backyard. I've been really looking forward to this wedding because I'm from Columbia and I love running into people I know... plus, Columbians love to party... and I love the party candids! When I pulled up to their house it was a downpour and the thunder shook the house, but Caitlin kept her cool. She was sure the rain would blow over. It did and we got to take advantage of the outdoors which always makes for a more dynamic set of photos. There were a few firsts for me at this wedding but the one that stands out most in my mind is the marriage proposal that took place immediately after the bouquet toss; see attached photo.

Note to wedding guests: I generally work hard to have all of the wedding photos uploaded to the proofing site within 7 to 10 days of the wedding date, but I am going to be hopping on a plane to Florida with my family in a couple of hours so it will probably be 4th of July weekend before the photos are available online. Don't forget to check in because it will be worth it. We got so many fun shots today.
Cheers to the bride and groom that let me shoot 'til my heart was content despite the humidity! Have fun in Jamaica!
-Matt
