We think that one of the most valuable investments you can make in your wedding day is signing quality entertainment. Just as it’s important to have a great photographer there to capture the memories for you, it’s equally important to have entertainers who can help you make the memories! This is an ode to our favorite wedding singers. :)

A great band has stage presence, is intuitive to the crowd’s mood, and has a unique, versatile sound. Plus they bring those cool lights for us to play with in your pictures! :) If your band has these qualities, your guests will respond and have a wonderful time at your wedding! Think about every wedding you’ve ever been to. Do you remember the food? The bridesmaid dresses? The flowers? I’m willing to bet that the one thing that stands out in your mind is whether or not you had a good time, right? Your guests will be the same way. Behold, what a great band can do for you:

These were all taken at Jennifer and Bryan’s Wedding and the band featured is The Respectables.

Bands we love:
The Little Kings
Four on the Floor
The Respectables
The Nashville Blue Tones

Warning: Most band websites don’t represent their talent well so check them out in person to get a better feel.

A few days back we met up with Racheal and Wes for their engagement session. They wanted water so we went to Edwin Warner Park. It’s our favorite creek and I love that summer is finally here so that we can use it again! Racheal and Wes are a super sweet and easy going couple so they fit the scenery perfectly. We’re so looking forward to their wedding in August!

Hope everyone’s week is off to a great start!

Ok, catching up! I think I have a new favorite venue! Jama and John were married on Sunday at Historic Cedarwood in Nashville, TN and what an unbelievably beautiful place for a wedding! It’s an old home with a barn out back and large trees in the front yard with candles hanging from the limbs. Amazing! It’s so my kind of place! The staff there is wonderful too – Linda and the rest of the Cedarwood crew were so great to work with! It was the perfect setting for Jama and John’s laid back celebration. They are really a great couple and they set up everything about their day to make everyone feel at ease. Thanks guys!

I’ve decided that no picture of Jama and John is complete without Snoop! He was one of the ring bearers and stuck right by their sides all day. He makes me like dogs! :)

We are so happy for the two of you! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your day!
