Amanda and Collin

Amanda and Collin will be married on September 4th at Clearview Baptist Church in Franklin with a reception at the Old Natchez Country Club.

Collin had been planning to fly into town for this photoshoot for months and it turned out to be the most beautiful weekend so far this year!  I don't know if they realized how much exercise they were going to get hiking around with me but despite the heat, they had fun with with each other in front of the camera and I think it shows through!

Amanda & Hugh Engagement Portraits

Amanda and Hugh agreed to meet me downtown for their engagement photos last weekend.  The first spot I took them to was an overlook with the bi-centennial mall in the background and Germantown just behind that.  They informed me that they are building their house in Germantown and should be able to move in shortly after the wedding.  I love that I get to spend such amazing two on one personal, get-to-know-you time with so many couples during what is sure to be one of the more action packed years of their lives. 

This was the first engagement portrait session that I've held so far this year in which it was sunny.  You would have thought a tornado was about to suck us into the sky at both of my e-sessions the week before and the two I had before that were both ankle deep in snow.  It was great to see the sun!  It is officially wedding season!!

Paulina & Mike Engagement

Paulina and Mike were married last year in Vegas but soon they will be holding a reception in New Orleans to celebrate with everyone who couldn't make it.  It was fun hanging out with them and dodging raindrops.

Marina & Will - 15 Minutes

I got together with Marina and Will last weekend for engagement photos and we were able to shoot for only 15 minutes before we had to stop due to rain.  I usually spend 2 to 3 hours for engagement photos and get 200-300 images but this time I was only able to grab about 40 shots.  It was disappointing to have to call it quits but I didn't want to risk my equipment.  I had lots of great ideas for locations and we were only able to fit in one spot.  We plan to get together again in the summer to make up the rest of the shoot.  Hopefully they'll enjoy the few shots we were able to snag before the bottom fell out.  For now, I tried to make up for the lack of variety by offering a little more photoshop editing than usual.
