Barber Wedding

One of my favorite things to do as a photographer is to shoot weddings. Especially when your bride and groom are easy going and great to work with like Aaron and Jill. On October 3rd I had the fortune to photograph Aaron and Jill Barber's wedding. The small church in Mt Pleasant TN was packed with friendly guest and family. I was pleased to have a wedding so close to home. Most of my weddings are more than an hour away. The reception was at Park Place in Columbia which has some of the best catering around. Served and prepared by owner and caterer Cheryl Craig she make some of the best italian food on the planet. The Wine was provided by Keg Springs winery from Hampshire. The best man Brian owns the winery. Friendship has its perks. We wish Jill and Aaron the best.

Jason and Meredith

It was a pleasure to serve as Jason and Meredith's wedding photographer in August. It was truly a heart warming ceremony. There were 4 musical performances during the ceremony including: a guitar and vocal performance by Meredith's sisters, a pianist, a flautist and violin ( that's fiddle and flute for all you folks) and a vocal duet from the bride and groom.
Jason is a surgical resident at Vanderbilt Hospital and Meredith works at Vandy as an RN. As remarkable as those careers are its not the most memorable thing about these two. Foremost, in their lives is a love for Christ that calls them both to medical missions. This devotion to Christ was shown and felt by the two during their wedding day. Good luck to Meredith and Jason in marriage and there future missions work.

Senior Of the Week: Allyson

Allyson a senior from Central High actually came a couple of weeks ago but I have not been able to blog since then. I enjoyed working with Allyson and her mom who works as a teacher at Hampshire School. As you can see we had a full day starting at our studio and then going to the rail road tracks and the waterfall. Allyson was a good subject who brought some beautiful clothes to where. She even made it to the bottom of the waterfall without messing up her outfit. Sadly her mom was not so lucky blowing out her flip flop half way down. Bummer. But we improvised rigging her flip flop with a lens cleaning cloth and a rubber band seen below worn by Allsyson. Photographer and Cobbler my business card should read. Thanks alot guys for the fun day.

Allyson is my first Central High Senior of the year. When she turned 18 she got a tatoo on the back of her neck which we worked into one of the pictures. She was a natural infront of the camera and was fun to shoot. One thing I always find challenging is comming up with new ways to shoot my same outdoor props. I get so bored shooting the same thing, the same way. I've been trying to see my old props from different angles and use different techniques. Also we've added our 1966 Mustang shown in another post and brought back the Iron Fountain after some much needed repairs. Inside we have a new rock wall as a seen and we've added some antique furniture for more formal pics. And of course in the studio I'm always experimenting. Hopefully, with these things I can keep my work fresh and avoid redundancy. Enjoy Allyson's pics.
