Bradley and Anna, 5.2.09

Bradley and Anna married in Clarksville, TN on the first rainy Saturday of many rainy Saturdays in May.  I loved that despite the rain, these two were so joyful and happy to just be in each other's presence.  Their family and friends were right there with them, showering them with love and laughter.  It could not have been a more perfect day.

Sara and Will, 4.25.09

Sara and Will had the sweetest down on the farm wedding you could have imagined.  They decided to wed on her uncle's land and hold the reception in his adjoining barn.  The details were so authentic and endearing, just like the two of them.  

I was so in love with the reception details at this wedding.  The organic, earthy theme was so tastefully done.  Isn't this just beautiful?!

The lighting around the cake was like butter....I would pay to have lighting like this everywhere I shoot.

If you can't tell, I can't get enough of dancing reception shots.  First dances are one of my favorite parts of the wedding day.

Andrew & Melissa: April 4, 2009

As you can see, I am WAY behind on blogging my weddings from this year.  I have decided to go back and try to blog all that I have missed, starting in April.  Good luck to me! :)  

You may remember seeing Melissa in some of the photos from Jaime's wedding earlier this year.  Well, come April 4th, it was her turn to be the stunning bride!  I was so excited to be able to celebrate with their family once again.  The day turned out to be sunny and beautiful for Melissa and Andrew, and we could not have wished for anything more.

Melissa made such a beautiful bride...

And Andrew was a handsome groom...

A few fun portraits....

Mini Vacation

Adam and I decided that we both work nonstop and need to spend a little more time together.  So, to honor our pact, we took off last weekend to the best little vacation spot that you've never heard of:  Gorham's Bluff.  It was exactly what we needed.  Located in north Alabama, this little community is such a hidden jewel.  We biked, we swam, we watched movies in our cabin....our weekend was the essence of a "getaway".  I highly recommend it if you are looking to escape the busyness of life for a few days.  The best part, in my opinion, was the incredible view of the Tennessee River.  

If you're looking for a place close to home to just relax and forget about the world, this is it my friends!  Adam and I will definitely be going back in the near future.  

Stay tuned for more weddings!

Sweet Baby Haynes

As you have probably figured out by browsing the blog, I don't do alot of baby photoshoots.  I LOVE babies, but have never really marketed for child/family photos.  When my friends Melody and Brandon had little Haynes, I just HAD to come over and take pictures of the sweet little guy.  At just 2 weeks old, he was a perfect angel the whole time and barely fussed!  I couldn't have asked for a better session.

Here is my FAVORITE photo of the shoot.

Haynes & Brandon:

Beautiful mom and beautiful baby:

I love little baby toes!

I think baby photos look so classic and timeless in black and white.

I loved getting to spend the afternoon with the sweet Ellis family.  Haynes is absolutely perfect and it was so special to see Brandon and Melody's love for him.  I'm looking forward to watching Haynes grow and develop over the years!

City Stages '09

I'm so proud of Adam and Act of Congress for their performance at City Stages last night.  They opened the night on the Legacy Credit Union Stage and I was thrilled about the crowd that turned out!  They just keep getting better and better.  Here's  a photo just in case you missed it...

Rachel & Nathan

I am home from Rachel & Nathan's wedding and couldn't wait to share a couple of portraits from their special day.  

I have lots of weddings to share from the past 2 months...keep checking back for more to come soon!
