Joe & Dana Engagement

Dana met up with me at Legend's in Columbia so that I could follow her out to Joe's farm in Lynnville, TN where we planned to shoot their engagement portraits. The farm was amazing with beautiful fields, old barns, and a cabin that sat in the back with an amazing view over Lynnville. I was really excited about the rocking chair silhouette shots that we took but there were lots of great non-silhouette shots with that great view! Before we called it a day we also drove into town for some variety. I loved Lynnville's square! What a great place for photography. I'm definitely hoping to make it back for some more photos sometime soon. Congratulations to Joe and Dana.... we are going to get some beautiful wedding photos next May 15th!

Jane & Matt - January 24, 2009

I was really looking forward to Jane Uggla's wedding to Matt Patterson for several reasons. Jane is the younger sister of an old friend and former roommate of mine and she has been a lifelong friend of my younger brother Glennon. Also, I know the Uggla's put on good parties! The ceremony took place at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Columbia. It is my favorite church to photograph at in Columbia though the chappel was very dark and challenging during the ceremony. The church is located next door to the home of James K. Polk, the 11th president of the United States. We were lucky to be able to take advantage of the well kept garden behind the Polk Home and then only had to cross the street to get to the reception at the War Memorial Building.

Tarrah & Austin - Oct 4, 2008

I got together with Tarrah & Austin nearly a month ago to make sure that we could take our time getting plenty of shots at several locations. I have another blog entry devoted to it at the following link. Pre Portraits

Their wedding took place on Saturday, October 4th at Harpeth Heights Baptist Church. It was a beautiful ceremony. I shoot a lot of weddings and sure, there are some songs you hear a lot and some traditions that almost everyone does, but I'm always impressed to see uniqueness at weddings and Tarrah and Austin's wedding did not disappoint. Both sets of parents stood up during the ceremony to give their blessing and welcome their new son and daughter into the family. Also, you have to check out the groomsman cake. It has to be my all-time favorite and I've seen some pretty great ones from Nealand Stadium to Dirtbike tracks. Austin is into video production so his cake looks like an old reel-to-reel movie camera!

The bride and groom were very photogenic and since the newlyweds are currently honeymooning in Paris... I would imagine that the great photos will just keep rolling in.

I hope everyone enjoys the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them. Stay tuned in to the proofing site because Twila Allen's 2nd Perspective shots should be uploaded within the next week.
