Weddings don't always go as planned (in fact, most of the time they don't), but when a couple loves each other as much as Kelly and Roger do, they are always beautiful and a joy to photograph. :)
This lovely couple wed at Scarritt Bennett last Saturday and treated their guests to a stunning reception at the Noah Liff Opera Center. Angela Proffitt never fails to impress with the gorgeousness she can conjure up in a wedding reception venue! A huge thanks to her and all the other vendors who made our job so easy with all this eye candy!
Kelly and Roger - you are tremendous. :) We hope you enjoy your honeymoon and this little sneak peek at your wedding photographs. We can't wait to see you when you get back! Congratulations!
- Mel

Systems are Sexy (Leeann Marie)
Do you find yourself always saying “This is the year I’ll get organized an efficient!”? Let’s talk…
I’m not talking a pretty branded website, latest gear, or Photoshop actions – I’m talking about creating a business that not only meets your client’s needs, but exceeds them. A wedding photography business that is as efficient as possible – even if you consider yourself more a photographer, and not so much a “business person”
Leeann will speak about how a clear communication strategy, studio timeline, and kick butt techniques can move your business toward being one that finally gives you back your time, money, and energy. This is the year to make your systems amazing!

I am totally in love with our new home out in the Franklin countryside! I love the lines of trees, the winding country roads, the wildflowers and the way the golden evening light pours over all it as the sun sets. I've been eyeing the field across the street from our house for the past couple of weeks as I go on my walks. It's covered in yellow flowers right now and the scene is just breathtaking! It's the kind of place that makes me want to create something. It calls to my photographer side like nothing else!
Brian and Kristin are dear friends, fellow industry professionals, and former wedding clients. That makes them the trifecta for creating a desperate need in me to make sure have beautiful images of their gorgeous new family. They say the cobbler's son has no shoes and this is too often the case with photographers and photographs of their whole family together. We had in mind to correct that for these guys sometime this year, but with a view like this, there was no time like the present!
Brian and Kristin - we're lucky to have you guys. :) Your family makes me smile. I feel so honored to have been allowed to capture your life at its many milestones these past few years and to have been invited in as your friend for the moments in between. Thanks for coming out to play with me in the field the other night! I hope you enjoy the results!
xo,
Mel
