Life can be so strange and amazing sometimes.  I was around 14 and would babysit a cute little boy named Bradley in the small town of Benton, Arkansas.  One of the memories I have from those days is the time Bradley pushed his golden retriever into their pool and I had to jump in to get it out.  And also the time a big tornado came through town and their house flooded as I hid in the bathroom with his baby sister, Melodye.  Who would have thought over 20 years later that I would be photographing his wedding in Nashville, TN to a beautiful girl?  Sometimes you just can't imagine where life will take you and the stories it will tell.  But I am so glad that this story is being told and that I get it be apart of it.  

Brad + Brittany are such a sweet, fun couple!  I can't wait to photograph their wedding in a few months.  I have a feeling that it is going to be quite a fun night!  Here are a few of my favorite images from our time together...


Receiving | Nashville Engagement Photography

I love it when an idea I have had for a while comes to fruition.  Every time that I eat at Burger Up (which is more than I would like to admit), I glance longingly at the loading dock next door at the bookstore.  I have wanted to photograph someone below the "receive" for a while.  Kind of like I have wanted to photograph Taylor Swift on top of one of the "Swift" 18 wheelers for a while now too.  Well you know which one was more likely to happen.  So a few weekends ago, I made it happen.  Kara + Justin were such great sports and hopped right up on the dirty loading deck.  I love it when my clients are not afraid of my weird ideas.  I loved the outcome and the poem I found by one of my favorite poets, Mary Oliver... 

The world is more than the beating of a single heart.  It's praising.  It's giving until the giving feels like receiving.
