I had the Amazing pleasure of photographing a -1/2 month old baby from the exterior of the womb 2 weeks ago. I’m thinking any day now this little munchkin is going to be on the outside loving his life of naps and feedings. Congrats Sara, I can’t wait to meet the little guy!

I only have a minute to add this post…. But I want this couple to know that I think they are so amazing and are 2 of the coolest people I’ve had the chance to work with. The amount of fun had at this wedding cant be expressed in photos… But I tried!

This Christmas Eve I had the incredible (and I mean incredible) opportunity to be a part of something so amazingly special. I was asked to photograph a father and husband who has been stationed in Iraq come home to his beautiful 2 year old son and wife after being apart for quite some time. This trip unfortunately is a short on for him and has to leave this Saturday to go back… But I know that he got to see those he loved the most and they got to see him. I can’t tell you how special this is and how much it meant to me to be able to be a part of cherishing these memories.
Thank you for all you do for us Mark!

January 7, 2010 - 8:39 pm - Brian, Thank you so much for taking these AMAZING pictures that I will CHERISH for the rest of my life. These photos mean the world to me and you really caught all the emotion of that day! THANKS AGAIN
January 7, 2010 - 6:22 pm - Aww, that brought tears to my eyes. These are so precious! Thank you to Mark and all those who sacrifice so much for this country.
January 7, 2010 - 4:36 pm - WOW This had to have been an amazing thing to witness!! Thanks Mark for everything!

I had the pleasure of shooting the incredibly awesome Multi-Platinum artist Josh Turner taping a couple weeks ago. The show aired for the first time last night on Great American Country (GAC) and came out incredibly. See below for more air times.

Whenever I get new things I can never wait to play with them. Kristin always laughs at me when we get home from any store because I have to open up whatever I get immediately and play with it.
So you know how I feel now! I have spent a while trying to figure out what I wanted in a new logo. See my old logo was ok, but the problem is that using a shutter icon as a logo is about as cliche as they come. So I decided to sit down and do some designing and tweaking and revising and redesigning until I finally came up with something that Im going to keep.
Welcome my new logo… (If you dont like it… Too bad)
December 18, 2009 - 1:18 am - Brian, I like it. It is very distinctive. Great job.
A recently engaged co-worker came to me today and told me that her friend sent her some flower photos that she loved to give her ideas and they happened to be photos of Kristin and my wedding (WHICH were unbelievably outstanding.) I’ve been meaning to write this blog for several weeks but I wanted some time in between vendor reviews before I did.
One of the most remarkable vendors that I have had the opportunity to work with and as well have had do the flowers at our wedding is Hillary at Brocade Design Arts. Hillary cares so much about the people she works with and ensures that your event/wedding looks the way you envisioned it. She goes above and beyond with her proposals and her creativity in her field is second to none.
I am so happy to have had the opportunity to see her at work, every time she has been a fellow vendor on one of the weddings I have shot, I see the bride’s eyes light up when they see their flowers.
Please be sure to pay her a visit and learn all you can about what an incredible vendor she is and how she can make your day look amazing.

Yesterday I went out to Memphis, TN to shoot this incredible couple who are about to go off to Mexico and tie the knot. They wanted something creative and artsy, and although they were thinking primarily black and white photos were going to please them, we ended up in some rather amazingly colorful places. I’m telling you now that I could’ve spent days in some of these locations. It is not often that a photographer gets full access of 100 year old buildings that were once brothels in the heart of blues city with a couple that wants artsy photos. UMMMMM AMAZING…
Cameron and Nicole, Thank you so much for the fun and I hope you enjoy your teaser!!!
November 12, 2009 - 7:23 pm - These are great! Love the bright colors!
November 3, 2009 - 10:54 pm - What a cute couple! Looks like they are in love. Fantastic photos. I hope to see them Nov. 13th. Gma.
November 3, 2009 - 5:25 pm - Beautiful shots Brian! You really found some great spots and the couple looks so comfortable in them.
November 2, 2009 - 4:24 pm - I have always seen your beauty, now it’s moralized for everyone. Congrats
November 2, 2009 - 4:20 pm - Wow!!!! What an awsome place and Scott and his fiance' look so happy. Congrats Scott!! (Do computers really talk???) hehehhheheheee I will never forget that day you hid in the closet...
November 2, 2009 - 1:21 pm - We love these, Brian, and can't wait to see the rest! The blue wall is just too good!
November 2, 2009 - 1:06 pm - Sure hope that is not a picture of your new house.....just kidding they are beautiful.
November 2, 2009 - 12:02 pm - AWESOME !!!
November 2, 2009 - 5:11 am - Great photos I especially like the ones where you are all dressed up.

Your wedding day is the most exciting day of your life. Family and Friends travel far and wide to show their love for you and come to enjoy your big day with you. The chance of all these people being in one place at one time again are very rare, and during this day your mind is racing and your excitement is high.
It is important to create a list of things and people you want photographed, although a photographer often captures most of what you had planned, there are times when he/she may not know something was as important to you as it is. Maybe you hand-crafted the centerpieces yourself or the linens on the tables had pieces of your grandmothers bedsheets (not likely but just throwing it out there.) This will help your photographer to understand things that are meaningful to you and ensure that they will capture it.
It is also important to create a list of family and friend portraits that you would like. There is nothing worse than being moments away from your reception and having to come up with configurations for your portraits, and possibly even missing out on some that you had wanted because you forgot or can’t find someone who didn’t know they had to stick around for photos.
Lastly, make sure to note important moments you want to capture. Most things are obvious, but there are things that some people do differently… One recent couple did a chest bump after their kiss on the alter… One couple smashed cake in their bridesmaid and best mans face… One bride gave her flowers to her grandmother. Things like that if you know them are important for the photographer to know.
Believe me, this little bit of effort will go along way in the satisfaction of your wedding photography.

Shooting another photographer is nerve racking but its so much fun! This past weekend I went out to gorgeous Chattanooga to shoot this lovely couple. Brian is a wedding photographer out in Chattanooga and proposed to his lovely and super natural model of a fiance, Sissy, up on top of Sunset Rock on Lookout Mountain.
I got so much stuff out of this shoot that I’ve decided to break up the posts into 2 parts… So stay tuned for the 2nd half!
