15.5 Hours!

That’s how long it took us to get back to Brentwood from Virginia Beach today!

Moral of the story?  Never ever travel by car for Thanksgiving.  Big mistake.

And because I can’t really post anything without a picture, here’s just a hint of the hotness that was Jen and Jeff’s wedding last weekend here in Nashville…

Hope you all had a great Turkey Day!

I know, I’m a lucky guy!

PS – No, I’m not really sure what she was doing… although I think this is supposed to be her “pony” impression.  I think.  =)

Our New Digs…

Here it is, the new home of CScott Photography!  It also happens to be where we watch Chuck, Heroes and Law and Order on weeknights.

Here’s a shot of Wilson checking out the new room, which is almost complete.

The back wall has three 20×30’s and a 10×20 and the far wall next to the window has a 30×40 print.  All of them are metallic prints from the best freakin’ lab ever, White House Custom Color, which is the same lab we use for all of our clients prints… you’ll see why when you see them in person.  The prints are mounted so that they float about two inches off of the wall, which turned out to be a *much* bigger PITA than I had originally anticipated.  On the coffee table is our newest sample album, a 12×12 metal covered Finao ONE flushmount album, and just out of frame to the right is the 46″ HD LCD TV with the AppleTV for viewing your images (and Chuck, Heroes and Law & Order… and Lost if it EVER comes back on again) in HD.

We’ve still got a little bit of work to do in here, we’re adding this awesome IKEA room divider/bookshelf and desk between the far shelf/light thing and the wall

and a few more canvas prints on the walls that are right behind me from where I took this shot.  Pretty sure we’re going to top it off with a 40×60 canvas in the stairwell.  Woot.

We’re excited to show you all the new place and to finally start having our client meetings here!  Stayed tuned for some more photos when it all comes together.  Oh… small shout out time… if you’re in need of some awesome interior designing, give us a call and we’ll hook you up with Megan Brackett, who did amazing things to make this space do everything we needed it to do, and look flippin’ sweet at the same time.

Hope everyone’s having a great week!

Heather and BR – Slideshow-y Goodness

You want more?  You got more.

BR and Heather – Arlington, VA & Washington, D.C.

Brian (BR), Heather and I were all marching band geeks members together back in high school in Virginia Beach, so I was thrilled when Heather called and asked us to photograph their wedding in DC!  I was even more thrilled when she mentioned a “sunset tour of the monuments” that she wanted photographed immediately following their reception.  Fast forward a few months and the big day had arrived.  I flew out early Friday to photograph their rehearsal dinner (which was ridiculously fun… karoake, broadway singers/actors, little kids singing highly inappropriate songs… all the staples of a good party =D) and Adrienne flew in later that night.  The forecast called for rain.

What the forecast didn’t call for was a power outage on Fort Myer.  With two hours to go before the ceremony, the entire wedding had to be moved to a different chapel because the Old Post Chapel had no power.  This was the first (and the biggest) of a few hiccups throughout the day, but Brian and Heather handled it all calmly and gracefully.  Despite the surprises thrown at them that day, they ended up having one of the most beautiful and heartfelt wedding days we’ve seen.

Oh, and that “sunset tour of the monuments”… more like “monsoon tour of the monuments”.  Did that stop them?  Nope.  The flashes went into ziplocs and the camera into a trashbag.  We were all soaked to the bone by the end of the night, but we got some great images to show for it.  With that said, check it:

By the way, if you ever want to:

a) attract a lot of attention to yourself and,
b) have a nice conversation with the police about the importance of permits and parking spaces,

then you should definitely grab your camera, some trashbags, a bride and a groom and run around in the rain in downtown Washington, D.C.  Bonus points if you make it longer than 15 minutes at the Jefferson Memorial before getting the boot.

Thanks for a great weekend Heather and BR, and thanks for proving that it doesn’t take everything coming together perfectly to make a happy wedding day – I’ll try to keep that in mind on December 13th!
