03 Apr My Greatest Showmen | Alex and Jess
Have you seen the Greatest Showman yet? We're kind of obsessed around here. The first time Alex saw it, he said, "well, I've just seen the greatest movie in existence." That pretty much sums it up! We have a family full of performers, so the movie holds an extra special place in our hearts. We're gearing up for our dance competition season, starting this weekend. So I thought it would be a good time to post some photos of my greatest showmen!
30 Mar Elegant Spring Brooks Museum Wedding
The best weddings, to us, are the ones that celebrate family. A brand new family forms the minute a bride and groom say "I do." Two already existing families are joined into one. One family gets a new daughter. The other, a new son. Together, these families spend a whole day rejoicing over love and togetherness. Elizabeth's and Sam's day was all about family. Their siblings stood beside them in the wedding party. Elizabeth's mom was by her side the entire day, sneaking in hugs wherever she could. She shared a special heart-wrenching First Look with her dad. Sam's dad helped him dress in the morning. Elizabeth's grandmother ministered their communion during the ceremony. They were both surrounded by the ones they love the most all day long, and that is what truly made this day so special.
27 Mar Senior Graduation Announcements with Basic Invite
I can't believe that May is going to be here in a few short weeks! May is always a big month for our #ahpseniors. Today, I thought I would give all the Seniors a break from school to start thinking about something fun instead: graduation! There are a ton of things that have to be done before the big day. The first thing to check off the list is to send out your graduation invitations and announcements! Keep scrolling for some great ideas!
22 Mar Modern Glam Downtown Memphis Cadre Wedding
She raised her glass high, a sentimental smile on her lips and her eyes glistening with pride as she looked at her sister. For the entire day, she had been almost as happy as the bride, if such a thing were possible. Now, with only a few hours left, she began to tell the crowd in a loud, confident voice that her sister had been waiting a long time for this day. She had waited for true love, for someone who would respect her, honor her, support her, and be her equal in her life. She had waited for the right man. She had waited for this man. And today, they were celebrating at her sister's wedding for all the right reasons. They were celebrating marriage.
08 Mar Memphis Senior Guy Sunset Portrait Session
Okay, truth time. A Senior guy is not as comfortable in front of the camera as girls are. They don't usually spend as much time taking selfies (unless their girlfriends make them!). So they're just not as used to the lens as the girls. Until now. Now we have to say a typical Senior guy is not as comfortable in front of the camera as girls are! Cody is not a typical Senior guy. Cody was amazing during his session! He was relaxed, joked around with us, and even gave us a few creative ideas. We're so excited to share a few snippets from his Senior session today!
06 Mar Downtown Memphis Courthouse Elopement
We have such a special love story to share with you today! One of our favorite things to shoot is a courthouse wedding. Elopements are all about marriage! It's a way for two people to say they want to be together forever, but they don't need a big event to celebrate their love. When they ask us to be there with them, it's the highest honor! Having us there means that these memories are priceless to them, and they want each moment documented in the most beautiful way possible. We think courthouse weddings are so romantic, and Celia and Jeff's wedding day was no exception!
27 Feb Classic Downtown Memphis Cadre Building Wedding
He stood waiting patiently in the beautiful lobby of the Cadre Building. He looked around the room wistfully, taking everything in. The decorations. The flowers. The cake. He couldn't stop smiling. "I've never been married before," he said, "but I thought I was supposed to be nervous. I'm just excited! I can't wait to see her!" He had spent the last 8 years getting ready for this moment. Learning to love her. Growing with her. Making sure everything was right before he made her his wife. Finally, that moment was now.
12 Feb Dressy Annesdale Mansion Memphis Engagement
We are sharing the dreamiest Annesdale Mansion engagement session today! Anahi and Eduardo turned up the heat and made my little photographer heart so happy. We definitely brought out Anahi's inner model. Yowzers. We also learned very quickly that I had to call Eduardo by his full name. Calling him "Ed" was just too confusing! But I think Eduardo fits him better, anyway. It's a very debonaire name! This session had everything - perfect weather, an abundance of style, and romance to spare!
08 Feb Colorful Fall Downtown Memphis Columns Wedding
We are so excited to share this gorgeous Memphis Columns wedding with you today! This was the last of our 2017 weddings, and it was one for the books! If I could clone this wedding and shoot it over and over, I would in a heartbeat. Everything about it was perfect. There were happy tears, lots of hugs, and TONS of laughing (and the sweetest daddy daughter First Look)! Every detail was beautiful. Best of all, Morgan and Jeremy have hearts of gold, and we are so proud to call them friends. This wedding was definitely the grand finale of our year!
