[ Penelope and William ] Franklin, TN

I really can't begin to tell you how thrilled I am to share this story with you. There were many times I didn't think it was gonna happen but with the help and talent of my amazing friends and family, we pulled it off and put everything together and I'm in love with the final product. And I know there are a lot of images here, but I couldn't help but post everything--I want y'all to enjoy this shoot as much as I enjoyed shooting it! The purpose of doing this shoot was for the 2009 Wedding Issue that Nashville Lifestyles puts out every year. Keep your eyes peeled for it on stands around Nashville, towards the end of summer.
There are so many people and vendors who helped by donating their time, products, and energies: Eric and Freya for being our wonderful models and coming up from Atlanta; Joy Thigpen for styling the story; Anna Redmond for styling the clothes and dresses; Heather Cummings for doing a beautiful job on the make-up; Natalie Hettich for the gorgeous hair styling; Oh My Deer for the stunning hairpieces; Dolcie Odille for the handcrafted invites; Kings Jewelry for the jewelry; Loveless Cafe for the amazing food and pies; Anthropologie for all of the great decorations, plates, glasses and candle holders; B. Hughes for donating the dresses; Billy Reid for the men's clothes; Village Flowers for the beautiful flowers; and a BIG thank you Kacki family for letting us use your beautiful land to do the shoot!

Hi Tec! I found your blog through http://wideopenspaces.squarespace.com/ and this story is simply incredible. I love the styling and it's intensely complimented by your style of shooting. Every image is breathtaking and I browsed your blog for the last half hour and am in love with all of your images :) I'm an aspiring fashion photographer and am slowly learning the art on my own but find great inspiration in your work. I also love the "shoot-off" you had, the images are beautiful. The Ramirez wedding photos also look amazing too, every photo has such an editorial feel to it that i love and the couple is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing! Will be adding your blog to my google reader :)
