Meet “The Decorologist” | Brentwood TN Portraits

This past winter, Kristie Barnett called us to learn how to use her camera with more confidence. We schedule a 2 hour photography lesson at her home in Brentwood and went over all the basics that make a photograph . . . . fast forward almost a year, and Kristie called us again to shoot some photos of her for use on her blog and business marketing. Her work as an interior decorator is outstanding, so I wanted to make sure that the photos we shot of her captured her sense of style and were up to par with her work. See her website “The Decorologist” at http://thedecorologist.com/wp/ or follow her on facebook at her decorologist facebook page

Lillian | Senior Portrait Session | Second Shoot

This all-smiles, bright and beautiful senior was so happy with our first shoot that we decided to follow it up with a “back-to-nature” second shoot much further out of town on a beautiful farm in Gallatin, TN. I used this as an opportunity to change my style up a little bit and go for more of a “dreamy and natural” look.

Lexus IS350 on Vossen Wheels

Vossen Wheels hired us to photograph one of their customer’s cars out here in Lascassas, as they wanted to have a very TENNESSEE feel to the photos. Great looking car with VERY tasteful modifications – it was a pleasure to spend the afternoon shooting for the Miami, FL based company.

Introducing our Senior Referral Program

Are you a high school student who loves photos? Perhaps you care NOTHING about photos, but simply want to make some extra money this year. If so – we’re always looking for high school ambassadors. What is that, you ask? Its a fancy way to describe someone who passes out cards and talks about how great we are at shooting photos with to all your friends, and for every one of your friends who books a shoot with us, you make a $15 referral fee. In some cases, you can earn back the entire price of your photo session!

We’ll give you some cards with YOUR name on them and if you had as much fun as we did at your photo session, it will be easy for you to share the word with your madly-jealous friends! Know a group of people starting a band? We can help them too! 🙂

Contact us now to inquire about whether we have any ambassador availabilities at YOUR SCHOOL.

Or, as always, find us on facebook to discuss more options!

Destination Wedding | Cancun Mexico

Chris & Suzie contacted us all the way from California at the recommendation of a mutual friend. Carey and I were so excited to shoot our first international destination wedding that we couldn’t wait for the day to come for us to board the plane and start documenting the wonderful week of family fun. The chemistry between these two is obvious and their all inclusive resort made the “job” seem like it was anything but work. We came back with more great images than we could possibly post here, but here are a few that we think summarize the trip pretty well. (more…)

The Perfect Wedding Photographer

To many people, this will be the most important day of your lives as a couple before children, so you have the right to be picky about who captures the moments to share with future generations. After all, how often will your entire families be together sharing stories and smiles? At DWD, we know how to take great photos that make your friends wish they had hired us too!

Photographs are more than their effects.

When browsing a photographer’s portfolio, it can be easy to get distracted by the “cool effects” of an image. Don’t forget to pay attention to the actual subject. If a photographer can’t capture the right moments, no amount of Photoshop techniques will make it better. With multiple photographers at your wedding, we make sure nothing is left out, even the moments you may have missed yourself!

Notice styles.

All photographers shoot in a unique way, so make sure to pick a style that matches you and your fiancée. If a photographer poses every image, your wedding will look stiff and rigid. We can shoot in a variety of ways, but we most enjoy letting moments happen on their own!

Personality is important.

Meet with any potential photographers. Their work might be fantastic, but a rude photographer is not worth having at your special day. Look up reviews for each photographer, and don’t be afraid to contact past couples and ask about their experience.
