Sarah & Tim’s Wedding
Friday, May 7th, 2010For any of you who have been watching the US News, we had an eventful few days last weekend here in Nashville. I have to say that it was truly remarkable and impressive to observe the poise with which Sarah and Tim handled this potentially stressful situation on their wedding day. Amidst the downpour and flooding, there was at least one event full of joy, warmth, and love.
Mary Natalie Hester also deserves credit for the seamless execution of the event under challenging circumstances, as do the personnel at St. John’s in Franklin and the Hermitage Hotel staff.
You may also notice a handful of B&W film mixed in with this set… Sarah and Tim expressed an interest when I described my new Vintage Collections to them, so I incorporated a few rolls of Ilford into my coverage. These film shots are some of my very favorite images from the day.
Tim is a musician, and so are many of his friends. If you notice that the band is getting a little more attention than usual, its because Tim, Sarah, and many of Tim’s friends stood in and performed during the reception. All of the performances were brilliant, and a unique aspect to this reception.

Laura & John’s Wedding
Thursday, July 16th, 2009This past weekend I journeyed to Washington DC to chronicle the wedding of John & Laura at St. John’s Church. St. John’s is known as the church of Presidents, because of its location directly across Lafayette Square from the White House. Laura prepared for the ceremony at the luxurious Hay Adams Hotel, also across from the President’s house, and the ceremony was around the corner at the historic Decatur House.
I was ably assisted throughout the day by local photographer Sarah Salyer, and can’t thank her enough for all of her hard work!





















I had planned a romantic road-crossing shot with the couple in front of the White House, but this Lincoln created an opportunity for photojournalism instead
