Nashville Wedding and Portrait Photographers
So, I love my wonderful husband. A lot. He puts up with a lot from me, too. I’m a very lucky gal.
Don’t forget, it’s that time of year to tell that special someone how much you care!
Evin Krehbiel and Kate Whitmore photographed our wedding back in December 2008, and were nice enough to let me mess up the images in photoshop myself. =)
Have a happy Valentine’s Day next weekend!
Love,

Wow, does Cohen have some admirers or what?! I promised another image to my dear EPE friends for your wonderful comments, and here it is. You can’t tell, but Cohen is wearing a “baby brother” shirt, and his big sister’s shirt says “big sister.” And let me tell you, sis is very serious about her big sisterly duties! These two are such cute kids.
And you’ll be seeing more of these kiddos on the blog throughout the year, which we’re super excited about! (Oh, and I’m also excited that it’s the weekend, but that’s nothing new!)

So, it’s been about 9 months since our wedding and I’ve finally gotten around to finishing our wedding album. Some major props are due to everyone who helped us out with our wedding. We did a lot of bartering and wouldn’t have been able to have the perfect wedding if we didn’t have the perfect friends.
Before you see the massive list of amazing friends who helped our day become a perfect reality, I have to say thanks some more. You all who helped our wedding day be the best we could have ever imagined, thank you so much. Our thanks will never show you our entire appreciation. We also had an amazing wedding party… Amanda, Shelly, Lisa, and Kate were awesome bridesmaids and kept me calm through the stressful stuff, and laughing the whole time. Amanda, you’re the best maid of honor I could have ever asked for. Dave, Brent, Ben, and Jenn were awesome groomspeople who definitely brought up the cool factor of the group. Dave, you were an amazing best man and Chris is so blessed to have such an amazing brother. Dan and Lisa did awesome jobs with their readings (mad props to Lisa for bringing your camera and taking a couple shots of the guests before you did your reading). Kelbie and Kareesa looked uber cool and passed out programs. Our parents were so supportive and encouraging. Our friends and family who attended, you all made us feel so loved and supported. Everyone laughed, danced, and posed for the photobooth all morning (that’s right, we had a morning wedding with a brunch reception!).
We had some amazing musicians as well. Josh and Andy played and sang perfectly during our ceremony and we were able to show off not only how talented our friends are, but one of the reasons we love Nashville. Deb came out from Boston, and sang with Josh and Andy and performed “Forever”, by Ben Harper. During our reception, Dylan and Jennifer worked their magic and ran sound, both live and canned. Sean McConnell serenaded us during our first dance to his song “Close Enough”. He played a set, then we were serenaded some more by Doug (who included an AWESOME version of “The Electric Slide”), and Josh and Andy.
This brings me to our slideshow song. Although the feel of the song doesn’t fit a lot of our goofy images (especially from the photobooth), this is one of the songs that Doug sang during our reception. Doug and I met at James Madison University, both playing tuba in the marching band (that’s right, folks, I marched tuba!). Doug is not only an amazing friend, but an incredibly talented songwriter and performer. One day I know I will be able to say “I knew him when” and maybe he’ll let me get in to one of his sold out shows for free. =) After Chris & I returned from our honeymoon, I emailed Doug and asked him to record one of the amazing songs he’d played live at our reception. This song, Doug, makes me cry every time. So keep watching the slideshow until the end of the song. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Doug.
So, on with the slideshow!

We went to Athens, GA to spend the 4th with some friends from college,
Liz and Mike. We had a great time hanging out in their new house and
going to see UGA’s campus and downtown Athens. What a cool city!
On our drive back, we stopped at The Varsity for lunch in Atlanta. In
case you’re like me and have never heard of the place, it’s a fast
food place where the cashiers taking your order yell, “what’ll ya
have?!” really fast and loud until you order. Chris got a cheeseburger
and I got chili dogs (I can already feel the heartburn). Not amazing
food but a definite must-do for the tourist.
We left Wilson at home and got a doggysitter, so we’re ready to get
back to our puppy.
Liz and Mike, it was so great to see you! It had been too long and I’m
glad we’ll at least see you a couple times in the next 6 months… Now
come visit Nashville!
