My stars am I excited to share this wedding. Let’s see… downtown Nashville rooftop wedding at Aerial Nashville followed by a fun reception with karaoke? Heck yeah!

I love how April & Christian really infused what they love into their weddings. It was probably the most touching & unique ceremony I’ve witnessed yet! The bridal party danced into the ceremony while guests beat tambourines & eggshakers. That fun energy built up until April & her dad walked down the aisle to “She’s the One” by Bruce Springsteen played by her brother & brother-in-law. Perfect.

Seriously, this wedding was so fun. Congrats to the newlyweds, April & Christian! You could really feel the love that every guest had for the couple.

Oh, Kate & Adam, you guys are so cute. Seriously, look at Kate’s adorable outfits! These two were the first couple to book me for their 2012 wedding!

Kate only had one specific wish for her engagement photos. She wanted some of them to be at Centennial Park, where they had their first date. Then she let me take them to whatever second location my heart desired. This is the perfect situation, in my opinion. One location important to their history as a couple, and one location to give me the opportunity to get creative/fun.

After Centennial Park, I took them to a parking garage just up the road. It was the perfect spot for the sunset. A security guard drove up to see what we were doing since we were on private property. I was afraid he was going to kick us off, but he might be the nicest security guard I’ve ever encountered on a shoot!

Kate & Adam, thank you so much for choosing me as your photographer! I love how enthusiastic & excited you are about your wedding, even if you have to wait more than a year! I can’t wait for it.

Shew, this has been a busy week!

I have just moved into my awesome new home. It’s a cute little apartment in Murfreesboro’s historic district. I absolutely love it! It’s full of character & all wood floors :D

So that explains the quietness around here. I’m excited to finish up editing some of the work I’ve done recently so I can show it. My office is all set up & ready to churn out some work. I’ll also be re-evaluating some of what my business offers for 2012 since I’ve been getting some wedding inquiries for next year. (Shout-out to my first two official 2012 brides Amanda & Kate! Woohoo!). So there just might be a few changes around here soon!

I went on a walk around my new “neighborhood” & took some pictures of it’s cute little quaintness. I just can’t stand to post a blog without pictures :P

I also took a freakin’ cute picture of my kitten Harvey.

Now back to unpacking.

Oh, Nashville spring weather, you have been a pain in my butt. When I reschedule sessions, it doesn’t rain. When we try to shoot despite the forecast, it pours. That’s precisely what happened when I met up with Melissa & Dave for the first time for their engagement session. It poured & we were forced to reschedule.

Luckily the second time we met up was just gorgeous. Not a cloud in the sky. I wanted to post just a few of their engagement pics as soon as I could because they will be tying the knot next weekend! I didn’t want to post their session after they were married. :P

Here are my favorites. See y’all next weekend!

This post is long, long overdue. Readers, meet Harvey, the cutest kitty in Rutherford County. We adopted him back in March from Rutherford County Paws. And boy is he lucky. When we went in to look at cats we were thinking about getting a friend for our other cat Marley. 7 month old Harvey fit the bill. He was playful & he purred the whole time. Plus he’s soooo cute.

The shelter employee told us if a cat or dog came down with any symptoms of kennel cough they euthanize the animal. And of course the day we picked him up from the vet after being neutered he had kennel cough. Harvey, you sure did cut it close.

Adopting Harvey has been a blast. He is the only cat I’ve ever known that will literally play fetch with toys. He & Marley get along great. They are best friends/ brothers & I love watching their daily antics.

p.s. I might just be a crazy cat lady.
