Anna and Bradley, not just pretty faces

These two are good to know, a doctor AND a nurse teamed up for a beautiful marriage. While the very talented Jessica Wright has the honor of photographing their wedding day, I got to take the engagement snaps. What a fun date! Cute, cute, cute... I fell in love with Anna's smile. It's easy, it's quick and it's warm. And, while Bradley said she'd have to carry the photo shoot with her beauty, he was just as fabulous in front of the camera.

Just look how that smile shines!

Thanks for a great shoot guys! Here's a slideshow of the fab couple: Anna & Bradley

Martha & Will Chillin'

Just kidding, we weren't chillin', we were freezing! Martha and Will were here in Martha's hometown for a short time and I needed engagement photos, so they indulged me for a bit on a bitterly cold Saturday. You can barely see the hypothermia. They are such a sweet, considerate couple. Will let Martha know every time her nose was running! They really are too cute together, seriously, and it'll be much warmer for the wedding in May.

I'm lovin' this ring, too.

I love Betty's Antique shop on Franklin Street. They have such fun stuff. We stopped in to get warm and shoot a bit there, too.
Here's their slideshow: Martha & Will

Bride's Boutique Shoot

OH.MY.WORD. I just remembered to stalk The Brides Boutique site! Carly gave me the honor of photographing for her web site update recently and I had not remembered to look since she went live: The New Site. These girls were so cool to work with and this old homeplace in Adams is just gorgeous. It was a dream shoot for me. Thanks Carly and Edith! See you at the Clarksville Hopkinsville Bridal Show tomorrow.

Erin & Jon Cheesin' It

These two love to play. I never could get a 'serious' face from Jon. They enjoy entertaining each other and are totally relaxed together. We shot a few images around downtown Clarksville a couple of weeks back.

Here's our Album Cover shot, very camera unaware.

The wedding is in May at A Country Chapel out in the farmlands of Adams. I know it will be a sweet one, just like these two: Erin & Jon

Bethany and Cecil Ringing in the New Year

There was a contest on Bethany and Cecil's wedding window site for the honor of ring-bearer duty. It was between Coco and Chase. I voted for the cat. Unfortunately, just kidding, neither got to make the trip to Tennessee to tote the rings down the aisle, they had to wait back home in Houston. Coco made the photo session at one of Houston's fab downtown parks, though.


Houston is so vast, they have all sorts of parks and zoos and museums, not to mention gobs of hospitals and colleges. Bethany and Cecil treated us to a stay at the Hotel ZaZa where their New Year's pre-ception was held before the wedding of January 3rd back home.

Cecil is finishing his residency in the area hospitals and we hope to claim him as a Tennessean when he gets finished. I think his mom was hoping he'd come back to Louisiana, but I know Bethany's family will be thrilled to have them closer.
Is this not the cutest little mini-wedding gown you've ever seen? The wedding day gown was just so chic too, I'll post those images soon.

They are just so very sweet together and so comfortable to be around. We really had a fabulous time spending New Year's with their friends.

Happy New Year!

And Happy New Life together. Here's their slideshow: Bethany & Cecil

Cala & Chase, a perfect match

These two are so sweet and funny together. Cala will graduate shortly and start her career in the field of nursing and Chase will be continuing his education at Vanderbilt for a bit, then it's on to rule the world!

The church had an air hockey table for a prop, but after we started, Cala is so competitive, we had to finish the game. Not sure who won the game, but they both won with a choice of mate.

Cala's red dress accents were so pretty with the holiday season approaching.

Sango Village Florist provided classic red roses, beautifully done.

First Baptist Church, ever expanding, made a nice backdrop for the group.

Many of the attendants are members of a band with Chase. They really are all just too talented. Chase even played at a few little tunes on a spare piano during our couple session.

Just a little windy on this cold, overcast day, but it made for some lovely flowing veil movement.

This die-hard crowd out partied us. This was our final shot before hitting the door and they showed no signs of slowing down.

OK, one last shout out.

Clarksville Hopkinsville Brides.com

Well, there's three of the photographers hogging the front row. Dana of Mugshots (ballcap) snuck to the back. Clarksville Hopkinsville Brides vendor group gathered at Yvonne Chamberlain's studio for a quarterly meeting and a photo session broke out. Go figure. I keep wanting to 'tag' everybody in the shot, instead of listing names.
Cozette Winters is in front with me and Yvonne. Fellow vendors include: Limo 4 U,
Allen's Fireworks, Jubliee Plantation Catering, Rockelle Coffey of I Do Bridal Make Up, and our fearless leaders of Turning Point Productions, Beth Cullison and Danielle Jacquot. We also had a visitor from Down South Delights catering. She is Rita Rowland and is the owner and executive chef.
It's a good group and it's always fun to share inspirational stories, horror tales and learn from each other.
