Jennie & Chad’s Wedding
Saturday, May 31st, 2008Jennie and Chad were married on May 31, 2008 in Bowling Green, KY. You may notice a lot of familiar faces in the crowd for this wedding: Chad & Jennie seem to know everyone in Bowling Green, and provided me with a multitude of referrals up there! So many of my other BG couples attended this wedding. I love shooting families who are spontaneous, and the day was filled with much humor. I’m particularly partial to the shot of Chad’s dad giving him a big old kiss right before the ceremony…

Kelly & David’s Engagement Session
Sunday, May 18th, 2008I traveled up to Bowling Green, KY for this engagement session, which was shot both in town and on the Western Kentucky University campus. The heart wall was totally a lucky find, and I was thrilled with some of the shots inside the WKU auditorium. Kelly and David were a total joy to work with, and the session came out great!







Carmen & Casey’s Wedding
Friday, May 16th, 2008When my friend Zach Gray mentioned that he might be able to use a hand for this Friday night, rooftop, candle-lit wedding, I jumped at the chance. Shooting at night on a rooftop in near darkness is among the tougher challenges that can face a photographer, and I love a good challenge! Casey and Carmen were a gorgeous, stylish couple, and the ceremony-in-the-sky was right in the heart of downtown Nashville. Here’s a selection from my set from the evening!













Alice & Mike’s Wedding
Saturday, May 3rd, 2008Alice and Mike can dance… REALLY dance. They’re actually competitive ballroom dancers, so their first dance was REALLY something to see! Mike and I also bonded because he is a physician in the military, and had some experience of Special Forces types like myself. Both bride and groom prepared for their nuptials at the gorgeous Hermitage Hotel, and then walked over to the War Memorial for an outdoor ceremony. The reception was held inside War Memorial Auditorium. Thank you so much for being amazing clients guys!
