A fun “HOT” shoot
by Stan on Jun.05, 2010, under bridals, portrait
Wednesday Julie and I went to Cedar Hill and Adams TN to shoot Mrs. Brittney Bolton’s bridal portrait. Brittney decided to shoot her bridal after her and Mathew’s wedding, which was Feb. 14th 2010. Their wedding day was a cold snowy day but her portrait day was anything but cold, it was HOT 90+! The heat wasn’t our only obstacle we had to overcome, as Julie and I drove up to Cedar Hill my head was spinning with all the potential locations we could use for the shoot and I knew the hardest part of this day was going to be deciding on what locations to choose. When we arrived at Brittney’s mothers house Brittney and I decided our course of action (which locations to use) and we all set out on a great day. As you can see Brittney is a lovely bride and made my job so easy. Her gown is from the White Room located in Lebanon TN. Please let us know what you think of the portraits below, it only takes a second and all comments are appreciated.
Wedding Packages for 2010
by Stan on Feb.08, 2010, under bridals, engagement, weddings
I have finally finished our Wedding Packages for 2010. When I started this process I set out to simplify the packages, structure them so that couples could choose a package and options that fit their budget yet still enable them to have wonderful photographic memories of their engagement and wedding.
You will notice that two of our three packages include either an enagagement or bridal session or both; the reason for that is simple, we want to get to know the couple before their wedding day. Engagement and Bridals allow us time before the wedding to work with the bride and groom in a relaxed atmosphere, with out interruptions and the time constraits that are a part of every Wedding Day. To review our galleries and see the package information go to www.sdphotographs.com.

Angela’s Bridal
by Stan on Oct.19, 2009, under bridals, portrait
It was an ugly cold day on Saturday, but Angela had made the drive from Illinois so we could shoot her bridal portrait, so we were gonna work with the weather we had and get her some great images. I met her at the church she had grown up in near Clarksville TN, just 500 feet from the TN-KY line. We determined we would shoot some outside and some in. Out side shots first, so as I set up she got dressed. She had to wear her coat in between shots in an effort to keep the goose bumps to a minimum size! Remember how cloudy it was Saturday, well sometimes those clouds provide for some dramatic images, what do you think?
Her childhood church
She was cold but liked the clouds
love the glasses
no glasses
a little help from julie, angela is standing on a sheet so not to soil her gown...notice the coat!
a little tuck here and there and the sheet is gone and then the coat comes off and we shoot the following shot
I think this is my favorite, what do you think?
She got a little sassy when she got inside, out of the cold!
Thanks Angela for not complaining about the cold!

Lindsey’s Bridal Portrait
by Stan on Oct.15, 2009, under bridals, portrait
Julie and me photographed our daughter Lindsey at Belmont University in August and now that her wedding is over she gave me permission to post a few of the images. I know I am prejudice but isn’t she pretty, looks just like her mother!
Sorry Linds, had to show this! I ask her to get next to this flower and as she did a bee flew right at her face...it didn't get her but I did!
Kelly’s Bridal at Hazel Path Mansion, Hendersonville Tn
by Stan on Oct.08, 2009, under bridals, portrait, venues
Had a great time shooting Kelly on Sunday afternoon. Kelly and Jeff were married last year and Kelly wanted a bridal portrait to give to her mother so we scheduled a day to shoot. We got rained out two other times and of course it rained on Sunday. However this time we had scheduled to shoot at Hazel Path Mansion so we just moved to the carriage porch and the mansion foyer. The main goal of Kelly was to surprise her mother. Teresa, Kelly’s mom was thrilled with the portraits and for me, that’s what it is all about! Here are a few shots.
Ashton
by Stan on Sep.08, 2009, under bridals, portrait
Ashton requested that we shoot her bridal portraits at her mother and father’s home. We decided that we would shoot in the early evening so she could have time to have her hair and make-up done. The morning of our shooting day I awoke to thunder, wind and rain…bad signs when half of your shoot is going to be outside. After a quick look at the weather channel it looked as if our odds for a rainless evening were about 60-40, in our favor, so we were a go! She was beautiful, what do you think?

Ashton is getting married on Sept. 26th
The bride likes purple and animal prints
She was glad to lay back for a while
Is she pretty or what?
Taking a break
We moved outside and no rain!
We tried some without the veil
As I was re-metering she was deep in thought, so I shot
then laughter!
Her mother said she had taken every prom picture right here!
This was a great location for a shoot
More animal prints but not inside...
...in the woods!
Thanks to Ashton's dad & grandfather for moving the sofa outside
Another break...
I believe I wore her out!
Lindsey’s Bridal Portrait at Hazel Path Mansion
by Stan on Jun.25, 2009, under bridals, venues, weddings
Lindsey, my daughter, is getting married in October and we shot her bridal portrait last weekend at Hazel Path Mansion in Hendersonville TN. Initially it was tough keeping it together, I mean seeing your daughter in her bridal hits you in the heart! But I took a moment, got it together and we started shooting. Thank you to Hazel Path and Vicki Martin for allowing us to use the Mansion!
