Jana & Taylor – Clarksville Engagement Photos

I would first like to talk about their outfits. I enjoyed how vibrant they were. I am a huge fan of colors and on this particular cloudy (& sometimes rainy) day, it brightened my spirits. That’s not the only reason my spirits were lifted; Taylor adores Jana and you can just tell. I met Jana a few years ago at college, but I had yet to meet Taylor. Jana has such a kind personality and even saying “Hi” to Taylor, I realized he does too! What a great match! Every time I told the two of these lovebirds to look at each other, I felt like I wasn’t there. And I love that! I want to be invisible when I’m photographing. (Is that weird?) Well, I really just want couples to be themselves around me, and this future Mr. & Mrs. definitely were!

We met on Taylor’s family’s farm and it was gorgeous. I love the “aged” processing in this next image; it fits the location.

See what I mean about their outfits? Perfect!

I love the simplicity of this one:

Then I hopped on the porch because it started to sprinkle on us and I captured this:

We went inside for this cute one:

This was Taylor’s idea and someone else thought it was as neat as me. Can you spot the someone else?

He just wanted to see what was going on, of course. :)

I love this:

Beautiful couple!!!! :)

Thanks, Jana & Taylor, for hanging out with me on a cloudy day and brightening my spirits! :)

In totally unrelated news, I am a ClarksvilleBrides.com blogging Bride! How exciting?!

Okay, have a great day!

This Weekend…

I had a bridal shoot with Lindsey. Since I can’t show you her images until after her July 5th wedding to Zack, I’m going to show you her beautiful ring:

By the way, who else thinks it’s so awesome that Lindsey & Zack are getting married on a Monday? I just love it! If I didn’t already have October 15th 2011 set in my mind, I might have switched my date to a weekday as well. :) Besides, who says you have to get married on a weekend? It’s your day! Do it your way! (Okay, so did I just quote Burger King??? haha!)

Anyway!

Then yesterday I had a bridal shoot with Something Blue Bridal Shoppe. So fun! :) Below are a few images before I can show you all of them. Exciting!!!

Don’t worry, they are a real couple. So of course I had them kissing! ;)

Super cute bridesmaids dresses: I like this a lot:

This dress below was one of my favorite dresses from the shoot. I said it about 500 times. Then, towards the end of the shoot I saw another dress that I loved it too. I must try on some dresses soon!

The pretty jewelry was provided by McKenzie and Smiley Jewelers.

So, only those there know the secrets of the making of these next few outside shots. I’ll disclose that later though, for now it’s just our little secret! ;)

I posted this one on Facebook already and the people wanted more. Gotta give the people what they want! :)

These two are getting married for real in October, so this was just practice for them. :)

Okay, so, I’ve always wanted to try this next set up, but never found a bathtub for it, until now!

Oh, there’s more:

LOL! Yes, I really laughed out loud at this last picture, but it’s fantastic. :) Thanks everyone for being willing participates!

Happy Anniversary to the kind couple who let us use your house, couch, and bathtub!

Hope you enjoyed this long teaser post. I’ll share more later! :)

Carrie & Kyle! Mr. & Mrs.! – Clarksville Wedding Photography

Carrie & Kyle’s wedding was a joyous day. It was also beautiful, full of love, and so much fun! Seriously, the dance floor was on fire the whole night! I met Carrie last fall when I photographed her son, Trey and his cousins, Sarah, Catie & Ryder. After the session, Carrie & I exchanged a few e-mails about her wedding and when we met at the Clarksville Bridal Show she chose me to document her day! :) I feel so blessed to have met these two. Carrie & Kyle are down-to-earth and super kind. They are exciting to be around and their happiness is contagious. Now, I’m a happy person but happy people make me even happier! During the Bride & Groom session, they would light up whenever I said “You’re getting married!!!” (They opted for a First Look before the ceremony). And then they would laugh! I love laughter. :) Oh, and I especially love their love! (That sounds like that country song, “I love your love the most” or something like that, except, for me, it’s I love their love! haha I’m random!) But anyway! Their love is pretty contagious too. I know Carrie and Kyle had everyone (me included!) radiating with love after their ceremony. Then, it was time to party! I have some really awesome dancing photos, but I’m going to save those for Facebook. Like my page to see those and more. Enjoy these highlights from Carrie & Kyle’s happy, joyous, loving wedding!

Carrie & Kyle got married at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Parish on April 17th.

The bling:

The yummy cake provided by Cakes by Carrie! Yes, I photograph the wedding and eat the cake! Don’t worry, my Bride & Grooms know this ahead of time. :)

The flowers:

Carrie’s Mom helping her with the dress. I like Carrie’s expression!

Beautiful, just beautiful! :)

I’m a huge fan of this one:

Carrie’s handsome groom!

Carrie & Trey

Trey loves the camera! And the camera loves Trey! :)

All of the sweet cousins were in the wedding party! It was so great to photograph them again.

Ryder & Trey

Sarah & Catie

The awesome bridal party:

Every time I see this photo I laugh out loud. Look at Trey! Priceless!!
