ocho

Friday, December 18th, 2009

It’s back to spanish titles today because I couldn’t pass up on ocho…one of Lena’s favorite words. She sometimes just yells it out for no reason. While we are on the topic, she also looked at me the other day in the grocery store and said “abajo” (down) like no one’s business. Thank you Dora:)

So, on to ocho! Today’s nominee is from Christine and Patrick’s wedding at the Bleak House. You can also check out their fun engagement session here.

And now, #8!

A little about this picture: A little wedding details for you today. I LOVE taking pictures of all the wedding details! I love seeing the fun planning that has gone into the wedding with the bride’s personality shining through. The Bleak House and its awesomeness gave this bouquet a great backdrop too, don’t you think? This is one of the many that could have been nominated from this wedding…Christine and Patrick rocked it out and their wedding was beautiful!

lucky number 7

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

a little different from the bridal photograph’s /nominee’s we have seen in the last couple days, this nominee picture is a little mommy/daughter love. This is one of those pictures that I think every mom needs with their kids, not a staged smile but just a genuine embrace and cuddle. love that! And aren’t you just loving her little eyes!

Onto the picture! This is from Amy and Mason’s wedding, who were so cool they got two wedding posts:) Here and here. And don’t forget the engagement session that they rocked like all stars!

So, some behind the scenes: Not only did Amy and Mason decide to see each other before the wedding (love that!), they also wanted to spend some time between the ceremony and reception going over to the soccer fields for some pictures of just them. (double love that!) This was one of the pics in the soccer field. Things I love about this picture….the light! yummy light!, I love that it looks like they are just being them and not posing for pictures, I love that it’s cut off and you can just see a tab bit of Amy’s smile…call me crazy but love it! I love how they aren’t in focus and the grass is. For you photogs… 5d as usual and SOOC (resized for web only) Shot at 40mm, f5.6, 400 ISO on an L lens.

nominee #5

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Whew, this blogging everyday because I have to thing is more than I thought it would be:) But no worries, we are squeezing #5 in today at the good ol’ hour of 9:30pm.

knoxville photographer

behind the scenes: This is a picture from Max and Jenna’s engagement session. I love this picture because Max and Jenna completely ran with it when I crazily said “hey, stand in this overgrown area by the interstate. I promise it will be awesome!” They didn’t miss a beat and because of that we got some amazing pictures in that overgrown area. Proof that there is beauty in all places, even in overgrowth:)

cuatro!

Monday, December 14th, 2009

I have no idea why, but I just feel compelled to have the blog posts in Spanish. weird. Maybe it’s because the numbers 1-12 are all I really know in Spanish:) Anyways, we are going with it today and deeming this quatro nominee!

knoxville photographer

A little different today, its two pictures but I just couldn’t split them up. They are what you call a diptych, two photos that fit better together than alone. So, again, we are rolling with it and going with the two photos as #4 nominee.

Reasons I love this picture:
1. They are in an alley. Mmmm…I love me some alleys. Even better with graffiti!
2. I love that the one picture shows the grittiness of the alley and the other shows them in focus.
3. I love that the people in the picture are Sarah and Andrew and now have a little one on the way:) These were their anniversary pictures. A big congrats!!!

a behind the scenes look: This picture was on the blog recently but was just screaming to be included in the running for picture of the year. This picture was of Brabo, the rap artist and I’m loving how it turned out. Shot with a 5d and 50 mm lens in downtown Knoxville.

a behind the scenes: Meghan had actually requested a shot like this on our first meeting or so. I love the way the windows add some architecture and the way the dress and Matt’s uniform make it pop. For you photog’s, this was shot with a 5d with my 17-40 L lens wide open.
