Engagements

I’ve known Brandon since I was 9 and Amber since 14 but I had no idea they knew each other! I guess you should just figure that would be the case in small towns. :o) When I found them again through myspace, I was so happy to see that they were dating and now they’re getting married on March 1st – can I get a collective “aw!”? Anyway, I think they’re adorable together and we’re very excited to be a part of the formal beginning of their official life together. (Seriously, how do you define a wedding in one basic sentence?)

We started their session at Amber’s parents house in Nolensville, TN and Sean and I were drooling just a little bit over all of the cool classic cars her dad has! This truck has special significance for Amber and I love this image from Sean!

We ended the session in one of our favorite places to shoot – the back alleys of Franklin. :o) I do believe we’ve started a two image trend on here so in keeping with the current theme, here’s another Sean creation. Congratulations you guys! The wedding will be here before you know it!

Also, did you notice? Our images are growing! Sean can’t stop playing with our blog so there’s more to come on that later…

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

So as Sean was saying, Meredith and John are a blast! Meredith has this great laugh where she throws her head back and her hair blows in the wind – fabulous! :o)

I’m having fun with textures today…

Meredith and John, you are such warm, beautiful people! Thank you for letting us share in your wedding experience!

Have a great weekend everyone!

It was freezing outside. None of us had much feeling in our fingers for most of the shoot–and to think, I almost didn’t wear my jacket.

Mel and I have been exploding with new ideas lately, and found ourselves all over the place, trudging through the grunge, even revisiting old locations with new eyes, trying to get what’s in our heads out to share with you. Meredith & John were fantastic, laughing and giggling the whole way. For anyone who is picturing John giggling right now, I should take a moment to stop and point out that it was John who was laughing (manly, grrr), and Meredith who was giggling.

On the flip side, they were also really good at looking like the awesomeness. For those of you who didn’t do so the first time around, please re-read “the awesomeness” in a Zoolander voice. Ok, moving along.

There are so many from this shoot that I’m really excited about posting–but this one really grabbed my eye–the lines, the light, the color–I had to put it up.

Because they were having such a good time throughout the freezingness, Mel and I both thought that we should post one of those images too. So we’re going to.

Tomorrow :)

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. At one point, we ended up on the roof of the parking garage. As the doors to to the elevator opened, we were greeted by some kids making out <<insert funky music, here>>. Good hiding spot from their moms, I suppose. I mean, who in their right mind is going to go on the 5th floor of an open parking garage when it’s freezing and windy outside, right?

Well, after we burst onto the scene and started shooting like mad, they quickly ran off to a new hiding place. I never would have found them… had I not looked towards the other side of the parking garage. What was the point of that story?

I needed an interesting title for this blog post.

Talk to you tomorrow!
