Lauren and AJ's E-Session

I first met Lauren and AJ the day of the shoot, having previously only met with Lauren's parents. One of my favorite things about an engagement session is that it lets us get to know each other a little better before the big day.

Lauren and AJ are both graduates of The Memphis College of Art. Anytime I photograph other artists, or other people of the art community in general, I feel an added pressure to do well, but also an added level of freedom to do what I want. We met at the wedding site, the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, and went over some of the wedding details before heading into Overton Park for the engagement session...

Jessica and Lloyd's Wedding

I first met Jessica on a referral from Michael Doyle of Lynn Doyle Flowers (thanks Michael!!!). She and Lloyd had been together for 11 years. The level of comfort that they have with each other was evident throughout the wedding day, as things stayed relaxed and fun.

Jessica and Lloyd were married at St. Peter's Catholic Church in downtown Memphis on January 19, 2008. St. Peter's has long been one of my very favorites. The building is spacious and magnificent with lots of interesting details throughout, and the ladies who handle the weddings (Jane and Joanie) are always on top of their game. The reception followed at River Terrace Yacht Club. I want to give special thanks to Ashley for coming along and helping out.
