Most weddings that take place two days after Christmas would be plauged by rain, cold, snow, no one showing up, stress from managing multiple holidays… The stars aligned for what turned out to be a perfect event.  Also, Shawn and Whitney were probably two of the most in-love looking people ever.  It looks like we hired 2 model/actors to film a wedding scene.  All the “posed” images were not posed, they just had fun and were in love. I love movement and love that it is hard to find a picture of them standing still.

One of my favorite parts of the wedding was the guests blowing bubbles as they danced the last dance.  Bubbles so many times are reserved for the last ten seconds, I want to see people get great photos out of their bubbles.  I want to see some people get really creative with bubbles this year, forget candles, think bubbles.

Whitney had a connection, and we were able to shoot at huge, private farm in Brentwood, TN for her bridal portraits.  I had not seen the farm or the barn before we got there so it took a few times walking around it to get a vision for how to work with the harsh sun.  As with most of our bridal portrait sessions we shot for about 2 hours.  At first the idea of shooting a barn seemed cliche, but once we got there, I saw how nicely the green exterior would shoot against the blue sky and golden sunset. I think they turned out well and made for some uniquely memorable images.
