I’m so thankful to be shooting our wedding this weekend. It is for a girl that I’ve seen grow up in my church, become a student leader and go off and graduate from college. A couple months ago we did an engagement shoot, and here are some of those pics.
Can’t wait to celebrate with Erica & Kris!




What is your favorite image?

We met Brittany & Trenton what seems like soooo long ago. They came into our downtown studio, told us about themselves and looked at our work. It seemed like we connected with them immediately, and shortly thereafter, they booked us for their wedding—15months later. That 15 months is now this Saturday. We are so excited for them. We feel like through our filming process, we have become good friends.
We’ve spent a day shooting engagement pictures, another day some pre-wedding cinema b-roll footage, recorded interviews at their brand new house (hardly any furniture, still!) and have met with them many times to discuss their special ceremony day.
And now, it is finally here. I wanted to post some of my favorite engagement pictures I’ve ever taken—it was a rainy day in Franklin, TN, but these too were troopers. We covered so much ground in less than two hours…

This is the cover of their wedding guestbook.

We started out at the Factory in Franklin. Altho the weather was pretty horrible, Brittany & Trenton were in a great mood. She brought a sweet polka-dot umbrella and we hid underneath awnings and coverings. While scouting out the location, I snuck underneath a 2ft door covering—let’s just say that it didn’t suffice. I was soaked.





They changed out of their casual get-ups and got down-right classy. Their dark suits and dress made their smiles really pop out.


This reminds me of an old gangster movie. Where the “gangster” is a tough-looking guy with the most tender heart.

After we left the Factory, I took them down a country road and we found a farm with huge overgrown fields and a long, black fence. They braved the wet grass and trecked out into the pasture. I love this image.



We can’t wait to show you how we capture their day. They are entrusting us with a cinema & stills package—we love handling all of the creative responsibilities of that. More soon. Congratulations, Brittany & Trenton!!!
