Jaclyn & Nicholas - Wedding at Cellar One

Jaclyn & Nicholas were married on August 15 at Cellar One in Downtown Nashville. The courtyard they were married in on 1st Avenue overlooked the Riverfront with LP Field as the backdrop. Kick-off began shortly after the ceremony began and at one point everyone had to laugh as we could hear the announcer from across the river "To the 35, to the 20, to the 5" and just then the minister announced "I think we have a touchdown." It was pretty funny and they resumed their vows to the sound of fireworks and loud cheers. I have to commend the wedding party for allowing me to march them all the way up to the city courthouse at the top of 2nd Avenue in order to do their group photos in front of the fountains. We got some amazing shots! It was worth it despite the heat.

Nicholas will be going off to Iraq this Winter and I want to wish him good luck! Also, to take lots of these wedding photos!

Katie & Jamie Engagement

I met up with Katie & Jamie at Katie's house in Culleoka, TN for our first batch of engagement photos and there were so many fun spots from trampolines, to rope swings to their horse barn! After shooting for about an hour at Katie's, we drove towards Lewisburg for about 15 minutes to Jamie's farm for a 2nd batch of photos. It was amazing!!! There was a beautiful field full of sunflowers in full bloom and also a creek with a bridge for them to hang their feet over.
