ahhh!!!  my best friend is getting married!  maggie and i have been best friends for 12 years now.  we have gone on countless roadtrips together, lived together throughout all of college, and talk on the phone multiple times a day.  if it is something great that has happened, i call maggie.  if i am sad, i call maggie.  if i ate something that was really really good, i call maggie.  an hour later, after i feel bad for eating that really good thing, i call maggie.  she is that go-to friend that i just cannot live without.  she is cute as can be and the most fun friend you can ask for.  then, a couple years ago, maggie met will.  when i saw how happy will made maggie and how much fun they had together, i just knew it.  they were gonna get hitched.  so here we are!  2 1/2 months away from their wedding!  maggie and will live in nashville (sigh...one day i need to get her back!) so we thought it would be fun to do their engagement session there!  i felt the need to start off this post with some photos of us at our best :)

so a couple weeks ago, i had the adventure of going to place i have never been before!  i met allison and john at his parent's farm in kodak, tn.  it was so beautiful out there!  john grew up on his parents farm and they thought it would be the perfect place to get some engagement photos taken.  i have to say, they were right!  i just LOVE a good field and there were great fields, an old cool barn, an awesome truck, i mean, what more can you ask for!  after playing on the farm we headed downtown for some fun photos in the old city.  allison and john are just so fun and in love, i just can't wait til their wedding in July!

meet stephanie and johnathan.  a few weeks ago i shot their wedding in nashville at the beautiful riverwood mansion in nashville, tn.  i grew up with johnathan's sister lauren and think that the last time that i saw him, i was about 12 years old.  next thing i know, i'm shooting his wedding.  it was such a fun day!  the weather was a little touch and go for a while, but it turned out to be absolutely beautiful!!  it was definitely HOT and HUMID, but hey, we'll take it!  i have had such a great time getting to know stephanie and it just made it that much sweeter for me personally, to get to photograph their wedding.  i loved seeing how happy johnathan and his family was.  i loved seeing how excited stephanie was to marry johnathan.  it really was just a happy day.  anyway, here are a few of my favorites. 

wedding season is officially up and running and i am doing my best to stay caught up on everything!  i had the awesome privilege of shooting an old high school friends wedding a couple of weeks ago.  emily booked me over a year ago and i have been excited about their wedding ever since.  emily is oh so cool and has such great and unique taste.  she is an amazing artist and i do have to say, i am always a little bit intimidated when i shoot for any kind of artist!  but i do have to say, emily is just so sweet, soooo laid back, and so fun, i felt pretty at ease the whole day.  erik is pretty great as well.  he has such a sweet demeanor and i just couldn't be happier that they both found each other!!!  they got married at the new st. john newman church in farragut and i was so excited to shoot there.  it is just gorgeous!!  here are some of my favorites!!

this past weekend i shot a beautiful wedding in nashville at the gorgeous riverwood mansion.  it was touch and go there for a while as far as the weather goes, but we lucked out.  the rain held off and stephanie and johnathon got to have the outdoor ceremony they were hoping for!  i'll be posting photos from there wedding soon, but first i wanted to share with you stephanie's bridal portrait session we shot a few weeks ago.  stephanie is just so beautiful and made for just a perfect bride.  here are a few of my favs from our time together!
