What a beautiful day for a wedding! James and Chelsea looked amazing and you could tell they were both very excited about the day’s activities. We had so much fun working with them! They are both so sweet!
Here are just a few images from their day…
Congrats! You did it!!
Two weeks ago we photographed a very intimate wedding that took place at the bride’s parent’s home in Ashland City. It was a beautiful, outdoor setting and both Charity and Brian looked spectacular! Much to our delight, they decided to see each other before the ceremony so that we would have lots of time for pictures. As soon as we were ready to begin, the rain stopped as if on cue. Nice!
Here are just a few favorites:
Look at that amazing grin!
Brian & Charity: you were such a pleasure to work with and we really did feel like family! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of such an important day!
I will never grow tired of photographing a bridal session. There is so much excitement in the air, but none of the wedding day stress or busyness. Charity was so relaxed and fun to work with! She even kept her cool when a homeless man walked by and started talking to us. (I try to avoid these interactions but sometimes you can’t help but be noticed when someone is wearing a beautiful, white, wedding dress and walking around downtown Nashville. =)
I’ve been waiting for a few weeks to show off her gorgeous photos. Enjoy!
Charity: You are gorgeous inside and out!
I’ll admit it, if there were a 12 step program for facebook addicts, I would probably be admitted by none other than my baby, Cade. Sigh. Well, he probably wouldn’t do it, but facebook IS addicting! =) My main excuse for the hours I have spent searching, looking at and stalking my friends is this: in no other (single) place do I have contact with someone from each of the 12 different settings/groups/cities that I have been a part of throughout my young life. That’s right. I have facebook friends that knew me when I was born, others who watched me grow up, some who went to one of the 3 colleges I did, professional photographer friends and some that go to our church… to name a few of the 12. These friends span at least 5 continents which makes this daily connection all the more fun!!
IMHO, it doesn’t get any better than that… unless of course I could travel to Italy, Australia, Germany, China, Spain, Turkey, Chile, Argentina, Canada, Mexico and Ecuador everyday!
So, are YOU on facebook?
We would love for you to join our Inara Studios group. See you there! =)
P.S. If you become my facebook friend, you will see some more pictures of Cade and yours truly (taken just a few weeks ago).
After many, MANY late nights, Cade and I are so proud to present our brand-spankin’ new, 2nd generation website and blog (did you notice the difference already? =).
Oh, my goodness… I am SO excited right now!!
The process seemed to take forever but each site, with its new images, content, packages… the whole works, is DONE! Finito!
Let us know what you think about our new groove… and come back often. We’ve got lots of goodies coming your way!
Rachel & Shaun planned a very intimate wedding for January 3, New Year’s Eve weekend. Their ceremony and reception took place at the Belmont Mansion. Even though it was the dead of winter, it was an astonishingly warm day and we were able to take some portraits outdoors. Rachel & Shaun didn’t want to see each other before the ceremony, so we took turns finding great places on the Belmont Campus. I was thrilled because we love shooting outdoors more than anything. I am in love with these photos. =)
Here are a few of our favorites:
Rachel & Shaun: Way to go!! It’s official! You are husband and wife… and you are adorable!
Shandus and Ryan got married on November 22, 2008 at Saint George’s Episcopal Church in Belle Meade. It was a lovely wedding and the church was beautiful! Ryan, Shandus and their bridal party were so pleasant to work with! We were able to even do a few photos outside even though it was very cold.
Since I shared photos of Shandus a few weeks ago (from her bridal session), I want to focus a bit more on Ryan. Here are just a few of my favorite portraits from their wedding!
Shandus & Ryan: congratulations! We are so happy for you and we wish you the best!
We are so excited to have Beth & Ravi’s amazing wedding featured in Ashley’s Bride Guide. I am so humbled and thankful that Beth named us as one of her three favorite vendors AND as the best value for the service! Wow! She and Ravi cared so much about their photos that they gave us a significant chunk of time to take amazing portraits before the ceremony! We had never had a bride allow that much time for photos before. I love it!!!
Future brides: Read Beth’s interview and take her advice. It is well worth it!!
Beth & Ravi: your wedding was indeed a special day and we LOVED working with you! Thank you both so much!!
A few weeks ago I met Shandus downtown to do her bridal session. We had a lot of fun finding lots of unique locations.
Now that the wedding is over (it was November 22) I get to share my favorites without worrying about Ryan seeing them.
A few weekends ago we traveled up to Missouri to shoot Michael and Hope’s wedding. Cade and Michael were roommates their senior year of college, which is also when Cade and I were dating and then got engaged. Now it was our turn to see Michael with his bride… SO in love with each other!
They were both so relaxed and completely trusted us and our ideas! We had a lot of fun shooting their portraits. Here are just a few of my favorites!
This is one of my all time favorite “bridesmaids” photos. They were having way too much fun! =)
Michael & Hope: Thanks for sharing your big day with us! We are so happy for you guys! Come visit soon! =)
