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?

Ashlee and Ben were married last week at Cedarvine Manor in Lebanon in the presence of family and friends.  One of the things we love most about photographing weddings is the diversity of our clients and their weddings!  Ben has officially earned the title of our “Country Groom of the Year” for bringing his tractor to the wedding for the get-away! :0)  You’ve just got to love it!  He and the groomsmen were out their shining the tires and everything and I don’t think it would ever occur to me to polish a tractor.  Shows what I know I guess! :0)  Ashlee, his city princess, hopped on like a pro as they exited the reception thus proving once and for all that these guys were meant to be! ;0)  Congratulations to you both!  We’re so happy for you and wish you many, many years of happiness!
