Sun & Snow

Jacob and Miranda have had a long engagement but their big date is just around the corner on March 27 at West End United Methodist Church.  I first met with them to discuss the possibility of being their wedding photographer over beers at Bosco's over a year ago. 

Fortunately Jacob drives a Jeep Wrangler so we had no trouble driving around Spring Hill finding snowy spots for their photos.  Rippavilla made a beautiful backdrop for their engagement shots.  One other photographer showed up for some landscape shots while we were there and I think he had the right idea.

It was doppleganger week on Facebook and I told Jacob that he reminded me of Jude Law but he said he usually gets Bradley Cooper and I can definitely see that.  You be the judge.  He and Miranda make a cute couple and I had fun hanging out with them.  

Engagement Portraits in the Snow + A Little Sledding

It has been such a great day!  I enjoyed my exciting and challenging drive home from Nashville (counting cars that ran off the interstate and nearly joining them), then after getting a little work accomplished, Cory and Addy picked up my family in their 4-Wheel Drive to do a little sledding and knock out some engagement portraits.  Cory and Addy will be married in just 5 more weeks.  We shot photos for about 15 minutes before I felt the need to protect my camera from the sleet.   Then we took turns on my brother Will's sleds while he buttered them up with cooking oil.... Christmas Vacation style!

Our location was a hill off of Kedron Road in Spring Hill with a Civil War Canon at the crest.  I have always thought it would be a great place to go sledding if we got the chance.  It really was fun but a ski lift would have been nice.

                                         

Since we didn't have long to shoot before the sleet caused mascara to run like Chariots of Fire, we booked a follow-up session.  Following are a couple of the shots!
