Oh boy, Allyson and Branch. When we met Allyson she told us that we were going to love Branch and that he was just “goofy”. She did not lie. He. Is. Goofy. This engagment shoot contained both aggressive walking AND random stranger high-fiving. These two were made for each other though. They just “get” each other and they seem to always be having fun. We strolled the streets of Downtown Nashville with these guys Monday night. They played along with all of our silly ideas and had plenty of their own as well. I hope they had as much fun as we did. We can’t wait for their wedding next month at Belle Meade Plantation in Nashville. It is going to be awesome, and goofy.

*Please note: No baby seals were injured in the making of these photos.

One thing we love to do with couples to bring out their personality is to ask them to do something spontaneous at the end of a ‘walk’. Check out Allyson & Branch and their walk of fame…

The engagement story . . .

We had never been to Downtown Murfreesboro, so when Sarah and Matt suggested it as a location for their engagement photos we were excited to see it. We met up Sunday evening and checked out all the cool things the town had to offer. We really did find some interesting things: A cat in a lawyer’s window, a burnt out store, “groom insurance”, and a place to go swimming. Let it be known that we did not force them to soak themselves. We had a really great time getting to know this awesome couple and are really looking forward to photographing their wedding at First United Methodist in Murfreesboro next month!

None of us knew exactly what groom insurance was but since Matt was about to be one, we assumed he needed some.

Last Friday we went out to the Historic Cragfont home to shoot Nikki and Brandon’s engagement photos. The weather wasn’t quite cooperating with us, but we didn’t let that hold us back. We waited out the rain, had a ton of laughs and the sun even made a guest appearance for all of about 5 minutes. Nikki and Brandon were super laid back, didn’t mind getting wet, and even followed us into a questionable barn riddled with poison ivy. We’re really looking forward to shooting their wedding at the Historic Rose Mont in Gallatin, TN later this year.

What a fun time we had with this couple! You can tell from the pictures they are a lot of fun to be around, love to laugh and really love each other. Most of the pictures were taken at Richard’s family’s beautiful property in Portland, Tennessee. We are really looking forward to shooting their wedding later this year in October. Thanks for a fun Saturday night guys! We’re so glad we got some pictures with Miley after all. They are some of our favorites!!

We have met some great people so far through our free photoshoot giveaways and this couple was no exception. April won our SHOOT ME FOR FREE contest last month and decided to use her photoshoot for her and her fiancee Jerimy’s engagement pictures. They are getting married next year in Clarksville, TN on his family’s farm. For the engagement session, we went to two parks in Brentwood and had a lot of fun. The sun finally started to peak out around 7pm and we got to finish up with some great shots in a big empty field. Congrats on your engagement April & Jeremy! You guys are rad!
