I am so excited to finally show these images from Melissa’s bridal session which took place at Cheekwood. Isn’t she absolutely gorgeous?

Now… back to editing the images from their amazing wedding.

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!

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.

I *heart* bridal sessions! Yes, that is right! I really do! They are simply fantastic! Beautiful girls, beautiful dresses and so much excitement without the nerves. Perfect combination. =)

Allyson got married a few weeks ago so now I can share some of our favorite images from her bridal session. With Allyson’s mother and sister, we walked around Cheekwood finding fabulous light and locations. What a fun time. Isn’t she just beautiful!?!

Wedding day images coming soon!!!

A few weeks ago, Megan braved the 90+ degree weather for a pre-wedding bridal shoot. As I’ve said before we *heart* doing bridal sessions because there is more time to focus on the bride, her dress and beauty without the craziness of the wedding day.

We had so much fun with Megan and her sister. They even witnessed our “un-professional” accrobat skills which ended badly. In a nutshell: I was trying to get on Cade’s shoulders so as to have a higher perspective from which to shoot - yah, first attempt didn’t work so well and I ended up on the ground with a bruise to prove it. To add to that embarrassment, we soon found out that both Megan and her sister had been cheerleaders. I bet THEY could have done it without falling. =) Thanks for laughing with us girls!

Here are some of our favorites.

There you go. Isn’t she one stunning bride?!

I LOVE doing bridal sessions because they give me extra time to be with the bride, by herself, without the craziness of the actual wedding day! Plus, we usually try to go somewhere to explore a few more locations so as to add variety to the images.

Tara, you are such a beautiful bride! I am so excited to finally show these images. Enjoy!
