Abbe & Chase come from a repeat family of ours. We shot her sister Catilin’s wedding a few years ago and while we love the fact that their family fell in love with US, we are more thrilled that WE fell in love with THEM! The Andrew’s family has been so great and nice to us over the years and we are thrilled to add the Webber’s to our Photographix family The wedding day started out amazing with perfect sunny weather at Scarritt Bennett. We were having major deja vu since that is where Caitlin got married. All the same people back in the same room with the same emotions… so much fun! Abbe looked beautiful in her White Room dress! We started with the girls outside then went on to Chase’s side. Chase is so handsome and opted to where his glasses for the wedding day (we were all rooting for this decision… there’s something about a cute boy in glasses… ah) Anyway! The boys all looked handsome and were a ton of fun to work with. I love the photos Ann captured of Abbe and her dad right  before they were coming into the church… the lighting was to die for, and the way they are looking at each other just melts your heart. The ceremony was beautiful. My favorite part was the kiss… I think Chase was a little embarrassed to give Abbe a good kiss (his dad married them and was standing right there after all!). So he gave her a little peck… everyone started laughing and Abbe was not going to take just a peck, so she grabbed his face and planted a big one on him! Loved itThe reception was at Macke’s in Green Hills. Everyone had a blast eating, dancing and conversing. The wedding day ended with little sister Hannah catching the bouquet! Can’t wait for wedding #3 with the Andrews clan!! Love you guys! xoxo

We had so much fun with Shawn and Brian! Their wedding was small… 25-30 people. We love love love small weddings because we get to know everybody! There’s something so intimate about that They had an absolutely beautiful sunny day. We had never shot at Brentwood Baptist before, so shooting in their little chapel was a treat. It is so cute! We started out with Brian and his best man and 2 children. His son was so funny, he was acting all shy when I’m pretty sure he’s not really Brian’s daughter is beautiful and very photogenic… she get’s that from her dad… he didn’t take a bad picture all day! Shawn looked gorgeous in her wedding gown! She has that Panteen hair that I’m always jealous of. The reception was at the oh so yummy Maggiano’s in Nashville. Everyone ate family style, it was so nice. Then they spoiled us… after our time was over, they had us escorted up to the main dining room and we had our own meal, anything we wanted! It was the perfect way to end a wedding day Thank you so much guys, we had a wonderful time and love how your photos turned out! xoxo Jen & Ann

May 1st, 2010… flood. Wow, what a day! Ann and I started this wedding day like any other wedding day. Rain… well that sucks but hey! We have lights and we’ll be all good I was having lunch with my husband in Cool Springs and all of the sudden the tornado sirens start going off… oh this is lovely. Ann calls and says “let’s go ahead and meet at the church so we are there and ready to go”. I leave and head towards the church only to get a frantic call about 15 mins later from Ann going a little something like this: “um…  yea… so we are stuck here at American Signature… the water is waist deep and we can’t go anywhere… the cops have everything blocked off… I don’t think I’m going to make it to the wedding… Me: “…….breath……. Ok… you can handle this, you’ve done weddings on your own before… no problem! oh sh**, Ann has the lights!!” Oh… dear… Luckily, the church was amazing and had the best lighting, so yours truly didn’t NEED lights! Thank you Jesus! Needless to say, Amanda and Mike were a little frazzled that day. The wedding started 45 mins late, a groomsmen from out of town was caught in the flood (he made it half way through the ceremony and hopped on stage) , oh and did I mention it was POURING and FLOODING outside?? Luckily, even though I may have been a little frazzled myself inside, I hide it very well, and was able to keep everyone calm Once things got started everything went without a hitch! The day couldn’t have gone any better with everything that was going on outside. After the ceremony I got a call from Ann… she had made it out of American Signature safely and was at the reception site! YAY! I had my partner back!! The reception was at Journey in the Factory at Franklin… now it’s my turn to get stuck I left before the limo did. I was making my way down Franklin Rd and of course it was closed off at MacHatcher… so I went down Hillsboro rd… closed at Del Rio… hmmm… “Mrs. Officer lady… is there any way I can get to the factory for a wedding??” Mrs. Officer lady “is the wedding still on??” Uh yea.. yes it is So I’m on the phone with the limo people the whole time saying “you can’t go this way.. let me check this.. oh… nope… you can’t go that way either!!” We finally made it down Liberty pike about 2 hours lateThe reception was great! Everyone was having a blast and you never would have known all the chaos that went on earlier in the day. Amanda looked absolutely beautiful in her gown from Faccio and Mike made one handsome groom! They were so happy together, dancing, laughing, signing… it really was a great wedding. Unfortunately we weren’t able to get our beloved outside photos so we are going to do a couple’s session with them next week. I can’t wait to see them again and let Ann have her much needed bride and groom time!! xo
