Fun Wedding Reception with Super T at Stones River Country Club

Amanda and Hugh were married on July 31, 2010 in Murfreesboro's First United Methodist Church.  I spent the whole weekend with them since I covered their rehearsal dinner and they not only looked great but they enjoyed their weekend the way I hope all brides and grooms do.  They held their reception at Stones River Country Club and the Tyrone Smith Review (Super T) helped them pave the way for a great party!

Earlier in the wedding day we decided to avoid the heat and humidity by staying inside the church for all of the photos in the lead-up to the ceremony and this wasn't a challenge with such a beautiful church.  There were amazing stained-glass windows and great window light, plus a beautiful stairwell and large mirrors.  We made time for a few shots of the bride and groom and wedding party on the golf course before they made their big entrance into the reception.

Super T and his band were amazing.  I'm blown away by his energy and the way they are able to get every last soul in the room to crowd the dance floor and fit half of the wedding party and their mothers on stage!  I turned around at one point and noticed a guy standing on a table waving a napkin around and saw the smokers out on the balcony watching through the windows as though they hated to miss a moment!  Twila and I set up a photobooth behind the bar and at one point our prop chest was raided and before I knew it there were people on the dance floor with top-hats, afro wigs, a viking helmet, and a woman was dancing with a football helmet.

April 19 Wedding for Christina & Kevin

Christina & Kevin were married in Murfreesboro, TN at Carriage Lane Inn. It was a great spot for a wedding. I had a small crisis when the second photographer that I had lined up canceled the morning of the wedding due to food poisoning which left me scrambling to find a photographer without Saturday plans on a busy wedding and prom date in April. I lucked out in finding Katie Dunlap. She and her family just moved to Nashville from Memphis leaving her network of clients behind. Katie did an outstanding job! On a different note... the groom and his groomsman are all Vanderbilt students or alumni!

Rachel & Dan at Cedarvine Manor - April 6, 2008

What a beautiful bride! It is so rediculously easy to be a wedding photographer at Cedarvine Manor. Though the light can be challenging when brides choose to get married in the pier, it is full of great locations for photos. This was probably my 10th wedding there and I'm getting to be pretty good buddies with some of the staff and other vendors. I even have photos of Daniel and Landon doing backflips on the dance floor and Landon with his Wedding Crashers shirt on! That's Daniel pouring the Chambubbley in the attached photo.

I met Rachel and her bridesmaids at the salon in Murfreesboro and stuck with them 'til Rachel and Dan were doused with birdseed around 10:00 PM. There were around 225 guests and they all seemed to have a great time. I've Attached a few photos. Enjoy!
