Lara & Charles’s Wedding
Saturday, June 4th, 2011Lara and Charles were married a few weeks ago at Congregation Micah in Brentwood, with a reception at the War Memorial in downtown Nashville. The event was superbly coordinated by Kristin and her team from Simply Stunning Events. Studio BBC styled the girls’ hair and makeup, Holliday handled the flowers, Chef’s Market prepared the meal, Cakes by Shara made the cake, and Cosmo Creations provided the music for the reception.
So in this case I met with Mom first, as the couple were busy with making Vandy Med look easy. Mom told me “my daughter looks kind of like a young Meg Ryan,” while I nicely smiled and nodded thinking “sure… EVERYONE’S mother thinks they look like an attractive celebrity.” However, I will now admit that I totally see what Lara’s mom was saying: score one for her. As you might guess from the acrobatic donning of the garter shot and the seriously impressive groom lift on the dance floor, Lara has a pretty serious athletic background in addition to being pretty and brilliant. Ya did good Charles.
My images were recorded on Kodak Portra and Ilford B&W films using Leica, Mamiya, and Canon equipment.

Some of my Favorite Recent Photos
Sunday, February 27th, 2011These are two of my favorite recent photos, both shot from the same spot last week on a rainy day. Both shots on the 1v with 35L, and HP5+ in Rodinol 1:50.
How We Eat
Tuesday, February 1st, 2011This is the beginning of a series of photos I’m working on entitled “How We Eat.” I will be documenting various aspects of eating in this country, focusing on restaurants but also considering markets, perhaps farms, food itself, and other related subjects.
For all of you photo geeks out there, all of these exposures were around 12 seconds or so.

Doug & Jackie’s Engagement Session
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010Its always an honor when another photographer chooses you to photograph their wedding, and I was particularly pleased when the talented Columbus wedding photographers Doug and Jackie decided that they wanted me to document their engagement and wedding. They drove all the way down from Ohio to do this session!
With their background and passion for photography, I was also thrilled that they elected to have me shoot their entire engagement session on black and white film. This session was shot on a mix of 35mm and 6×7 medium format, using a variety of film stocks.
It was a VERY hot day, so while we started out over at the Steeplechase in Brentwood, midway through the session we decided that we just needed to cool off in Percy Priest Lake. I was thrilled that Doug and Jackie brought their beautiful weimaraners Layla and Gunner, who added a great presence to the shoot.
CariAnn & Scott’s Engagement Session
Monday, January 25th, 2010I’ll confess I was a bit worried on Saturday that the wind and brisk temperature might force us to reschedule the shoot, but fortunately CariAnn and Scott are an outdoorsy couple who were enthusiastic about getting some portraits made. CariAnn and Scott wanted some of these photographs to include their four-legged family members, and I was happy to accommodate that wish (I love dogs!).
We enjoyed great light, and had a lot of fun shooting in Franklin and then later in downtown Nashville. Thanks for making me your engagement photographer guys!
