If you’ve read the blog in the past few weeks then you know that Sean and I were asked to do a shooting workshop in New Orleans for Pictage’s annual conference.  We were honored to be asked and even more honored to have it fill up in less than a minute when registration opened!  To those who attended, thank you so much!  We really appreciate you giving us the opportunity to share with you and we hope you were able to walk away with something of value.  We can’t wait to see your resulting images!  For anyone who might be curious as to what our results from the shoot were, here a few from our pile…

Sean started a bit early, taking photos of our prep.  This is when we realized that our hotel room was every bit as messy as what we usually walk into on a wedding day!  I am also now fairly certain that Phil is going to be more careful from here on out when Sean has a camera around.  Sorry Phil – couldn’t resist!

We hit the streets with a massive group which had me a little concerned that it would be hard to keep everyone happy crowded around the same models but everyone was great!

Our incredible friends and fellow Nashville wedding photographers, Peter and Whitney of Dove Wedding Photography and Phil and Mindy of Phindy Studios, graciously agreed to brave the crowd and be our models.  They are all extremely talented behind the camera, and none of them would call being in front of the camera their favorite thing, so we really appreciate them doing this for us! :0)  They all did a fabulous job!  Don’t you think?

Lila and Bo have been married for 58 years!  It’s an incredible accomplishment and an even greater one is the love they have inspired in their family over the years.  Their granddaughter, Whitney, is a dear friend of ours and when she told us of her family’s plans to give their grandparents the wedding they never had for their anniversary, we knew we wanted to be a part of it!  Here is the happy couple from way back when…

58 years later…I hope that in 58 years we are still around and still look at each other like this…
