Another busy weekend during wedding season...

On Saturday, I had the pleasure of photographing LaTonya and Tyson's wedding with Amanda Hagler of Shutterbelle Photography. LaTonya and Tyson were a pleasure to work with, and I always love shooting with Amanda! The wedding took place at First Missionary Baptist Church in Clarksville, and it was a beautiful--but HOT--day.

The reception was held at the church following the ceremony. It was catered by Chef Ray Davis, and the lovely wedding cakes were done by A Country Chapel. Jason Manuel provided music for dancing, and Turning Point Productions videotaped the entire event.

Many congratulations to the happy couple; may your lives together be filled with love and happiness!

Finally, a break...

It has been one heck of a busy week. Dashing around, trying to get all our projects finished in time for the bridal show at the convention center, and weddings to shoot at the same time...Unveiling David Wright Photography's whole new look...

Friday, I had the pleasure of helping David photograph Amy and Brian's wedding at Immaculate Conception in Clarksville. It rained all day, and I wrecked my car on the way to the wedding--slid into a guard rail in the rain. But the wedding was beautiful, and Amy & Brian, and their families were so nice!

On Sunday, the biggest bridal fair--Weddings-- was held at the convention center downtown. We arrived early in the morning to set up the booth. We had designed all new colors, new sign, new brochures, new business cards, new lighting, new photographs...and this amazing floor canvas that we about killed ourselves painting in the days before the show. It was so humid here that we had a hard time getting the paint to dry in time! But we were pleased with the end result. Here are some photos of the booth right before the doors opened...

So, now that the show is over, I can get back to my portrait business. I hope to have a big announcement in the next few days!!! Stay tuned....

Introducing Aulscot Surf's Up!

Here are photos of the other reason I have been busy lately! After the passing of my Scottie Dog, Merlin, in February I was not sure when or if I would feel up to adopting another one. (I was not even sure I would find another one here in Hawaii as I had been looking out for any Scottie rescues for the last 2 years and have seen none). But recently I had the luck and good fortune to meet at an Earth Dog Day event another Scottie who captured my heart and so we adopted each other. ;o) She had already been named "Annie" by her breeder; so I suppose between the two of us, we are double the trouble!

For those on the Mainland who have Scottie Dogs and are interested in adopting another, please consider one from Scottie Kingdom Rescue, Inc.

Anyhows...This is one of the photos from a portrait session I did with Madoka and Caleb last week. They are moving to Japan soon so wanted some lasting memories of paradise...Thank you, Renee, for helping to hold the palm frond in place. :o)

Yesterday, I had the exciting (and exhausting) pleasure of photographing Emily and Nathan's wedding with David Wright. It was exciting because we got to try a lot of new ideas, and it was exhausting because we worked for over 3 hours walking around downtown Nashville in the 94 degree heat! Then we returned to the church for more photographs, the ceremony, and then walked three blocks to the reception at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Emily and Nathan, and all their friends and family were such a pleasure to work with. Emily was willing to do what ever it took to get the shot -- anything that wouldn't harm her gorgeous Vera Wang gown, that is!

We started out where the couple got engaged -- the pedestrian bridge over the Cumberland River. What a great view!

Then we made our way down the streets of Nashville...stopping to look at cowboy hats, of course!

And of course we stopped by Merchants...

And the bride just had to show off her new rings to the girls on the way to the Country Music Hall of Fame...

By the end of the day, I had drank about 2 gallons of water, and my feet felt like one big blister...last night, I slept for eleven hours! But it was so worth it!

Many congratulations, and best of luck to the happy couple! It was a joy to work with you!
