Something Blue Bridal Shoppe Photo Shoot – Clarksville Wedding Photography

June 13th was a Sunday. I remember this day because Taylor Swift was having her 13 hour meet & greet in Nashville. I was super bummed that I couldn’t make it, since I already scheduled this photo shoot. (Have I mentioned I love Taylor Swift? Cause I do… like, for real. I told Rick the other day that if Taylor & I met, we would be the best of friends. He just laughed, but I know he didn’t mean it…) Even though I didn’t get to meet Taylor Swift that day, I got to meet some A-M-A-Z-I-N-G models on this shoot. I scored a big win on the model department. These guys & gals rocked it out for Something Blue Bridal Shoppe’s photo shoot. They were troopers with the intense June heat & humidity. They even obliged to my crazy idea of me shooting from inside when my lenses began to fog up. Yes, I shot that couch picture I love behind a glass door:

Ahh, I still love it to this day! I shot all of the couch images from inside, while yelling directions and using hand motions through the glass door. It was so funny. I’m sure if someone just happened upon the scene, they would think we were crazy. :) However, it worked and we got some fantastic images. If Taylor Swift knew me, I think she would agree, because you know, we could be the best of friends… if we ever meet. :)

Beautiful flowers:

Nice looking “bridal party”:

These two are for real getting married in October. It was a nice practice for them:

C & L – Clarksville Photography

C & L just exude love for each other. That is the conclusion I came to after our session in July. They decided to have portraits made before going to the military ball and they were so nice looking in their attire. I know they were the stars of the night. :) C’s hair reminded me of old Hollywood actresses. Gorgeous! I love the way these two look at each other. I also love the fun spirit they both have. It’s obvious they adore each other and I am very fortunate to have captured their love in these images. Theywere such troopers too. As I mentioned in the teaser post, it was the hottest weather I’d ever photographed in. They never complained and were up for any ideas I had. :)

I love the way L is looking at C, along with the colors in this one:

C reminds me of a Hollywood Actress in this next one. She’s so glam! :)

What a nice looking couple:

Keeping with the Hollywood actress feel, I gave this one a vintage look:

Ahh, favorite:

Sweethearts:

Love:

C and her prince charming:

I am in love with black and white these days:

When I took a few individual images, I told L to look at his wife:

Then I told C to look at her husband:

Lens flare!

One more:

C & L, thank you for all you sacrifice for our country. You are both heroes in my book and I’m always praying for you along with the rest of the military families.

A’s Bridal Portrait – Teasers!

A & I have known each other since she was born, which was the day after me. We were born in the same hospital! So, outside of family, she is probably the person I’ve known the longest. Haha! It is so funny to think of it that way. :)

Until this photo shoot, I never really thought of myself as a visual person. That is weird for a photographer to say right? I don’t know why, but it finally dawned on me how much I rely on what I see verses any other sense. Being a visual person really comes in handy when you are standing in the road photographing a bride-to-be while using your peripherals to check for traffic… which more than likely happened today… ;)

After this shoot, I had 891 photos. Just imagine how many I’m going to have after her September 12th wedding! :) I can’t wait to show you more from her bridal session, but here’s a little preview of our fun session this morning.

Ring shots:

Plus a shoe shot:

Initial of her future last name!

I’m so glad A let me post this one:

Yes, this was a bridal session, not a trash the dress session. No, this was not my idea. A did not get her dress wet, but we captured fun bridal portraits when she decided to do this:

Happy Sunday! :)
