Some shoots are simply effortless . . . . some are much more difficult and almost feel like pulling teeth.  Luckily, this one with Adrianna and Tony was the most easy going I’ve been involved in all year!  We started by meeting at Peabody Campus of Vanderbilt, because our original plans of Centennial Park were marred by the Earth-Day festivities.  Darn Earth Day – - haha!  So we shot quite a few frames in the “more beautiful than I remembered” Peabody Campus and then went on to the Cathedral where they are getting married later this year . . . finally finishing up at the Nashville Walking  Bridge. Below are a few samples, followed by many more after the jump

Lots of fun yesterday with Jay & Laurie – we had the opportunity to shoot this quick engagement set at the same location that they will be getting married.  They were so easy to work with I didn’t feel like I had to work to hard to capture them having fun!

New post processing effect I’ve been toying around with lately – - – “Through the Viewfinder”

1. Wear clothing that makes you look and feel like yourself, don’t pull out that shirt that looks nice, but you NEVER wear.

2. Avoid patterns or really bold stripes as it distracts from your wonderful face

3. Don’t wear matching clothes. Please. It looks cheesy and doesn’t provide separation between you two unique individuals.

4. Bring a change of clothes if you want a different look. Maybe several depending on timeframe.

5. Don’t camouflage yourself!! If we’re outside in spring, don’t wear green – if were in a concrete alley doing some grunge shots, don’t wear grey!

6. Men or women can wear jackets or other accessories to vary the look.

7. For ladies, I recommend getting hair and makeup professionally done for any session. Some photographers provide one, I have several who help with my sessions if you’re interested!

8. Mineral makeup is wonderful in photos. Regardless of mineral or not, bring some extra to touchup mid-shoot.

9. I ask everyone I shoot to meet with me several days before-hand for drinks/coffee – it sounds strange, but its the best way to get good photos as we skip the whole “getting to know eachother” 1/2 hour -

10. My photos are about YOU so don’t you dare act like anyone but yourself – and let me know some of your FAVORITE PLACES before hand – I’d like to shoot there!
