Pete & Jourdan | Nashville Engagement

we've had the splendid opportunity to get to know pete & jourdan a bit from the wonderful community here in nashvegas. of course they both have their hands in the music biz in one way or another and are quite the match together. we were thrilled when they asked us to shoot their wedding and enjoyed some time capturing the fun pair for an engagement session in a secret nashville spot at sunset.

cheers to pete & jourdan...can't wait to shoot your wedding in a few weeks!

Cece and Tanner | Nashville Engagement Photography

We first met Cece when Tammy and I decided to get our groove on to Frank Sinatra..aka swing dance lessons! We have always wanted to learn and were stoked to be paired with our fabulous dance instructor Cece at The Fred Astaire dance studio. She was so sweet and patient with us as we clumsily tripped over each other multiple times. She really helped us have fun as we learned the basics....now we just need to find the time to practice :)

While being a dance instructor rockstar, Cece engaged in conversation with us and soon learned that we were photographers. Not too long after our dance lesson sessions, we received an email full of excitement from a certain engaged favorite swing dance instructor and were thrilled that she remembered us. We soon met her fiance Tanner and concluded that they are a blast together as we shared a fantastic evening and bottle of wine with them!

Congrats on your engagement! We can't wait to shoot your wedding in April!

Cape Hatteras Engagement Shoot | Rob and Liza

For those of you who are new blog friends, you may not know yet that I (David) grew up surrounded by the beauty of the Outer Banks coastline in Kitty Hawk, NC. It doesn't take much to convince us to come back for a shoot and stay a few extra days to spend time with our AMAZING family and friends!

Rob and Liza made the 3+ hour trek from Raleigh just to hang out and do an OBX engagement shoot. I AM SO GLAD THEY DID because we had a blast at a remote beach area I have come to love. As soon as the first photo was snapped, we were having fun. I didn't even have to tell my normal corny jokes to get them to relax.;) They started making goofy faces and rocked the shoot from the start. It was EASY...TOO EASY! What an incredibly beautiful evening it was capturing this couple as the sun set in the western sky.

After the shoot we went to Rundown Café, one of my favorite hometown restaurants. We all had great seafood, drinks and even better conversation getting to know each other. The evening was topped off with some brilliant live music at a local open mic night.

Since around 90% of our weddings are Destination Weddings, we rarely get to connect with the couple in person before their wedding. It is a rare treat to meet them, become instant friends and get fun creative portraits before the actual wedding.

Tammy and I can't wait to meet Rob & Liza's families & friends and spend their wedding day with them on the southeast North Carolina coast! If their wedding is half as fun as their engagement shoot was, it will be one of our favorite weddings of all time!:)

See you guys on Saturday!!!!

LIVE SLOW.

David and Tammy
