Horses, Wedding Dresses, and Smoke Bombs

Kate's wedding took place in Birmingham all the way back on May 1st.  Part of her package included bridal portraits and she decided she would rather wait until after the wedding so we could do some shots with the horses and not have to worry about ruining the dress.  The mist in the above shot was from a smoke bomb that I tossed into the field.  It turned out to be purple smoke so I thought black and white would be best.

Ashlee and Brian - Riverwood Mansion Wedding

Ashlee and Brian were married September 19th at Riverwood Mansion in East Nashville. Ashlee's mom made her dress and the cake topper they used was from Ashlee's mom's wedding. I love shooting at Riverwood and this couple was a lot of fun. It was one of my favorite weddings of the year, though it was absolutely the most challenging wedding of the year during the ceremony since it was nearly pitch dark outside and the only light was backlight from Christmas lights. The bride walked down the isle to Rocky Top triumphantly even though UT lost to Florida earlier that afternoon. These were true fans. The groom's cake was a miniature Nealand Stadium and the bride had a layer of orange ruffles under her dress.
