Ah, and now it’s time to brag on my husband!!!!!!!!!

PPA Magazine (Professional Photographers of America) holds a cover image contest for one of its issues every year.  A few months ago we were contacted by them saying that an image Zach submitted of his made it to the top 100…which was really exciting because there were more than 4,600 entries entered of photographers vying for a spot in the magazine spread. Then we found out more recently Zach made it to the top 15 and was going to be published amongst the winners!!  We were (and are) pretty pumped and if you look through the November issue you’ll see his image among the other finalists and winner (who is also from Nashville!)!

Here is the magazine cover shot (by Mama Shan of Nashville, TN!).

Here is Zach’s image from the magazine spread (sorry for the low res!).

And here is the shot that Zach took way back in early 2008 of the amazingly awesome Casey and Carmen!

Way to go babe!!

Enjoy the goodness!

(Thanks to those who offered to send your copy of the magazine to us!  We appreciate it!)

First, we had the honor of shooting the wedding of Tennessee Titan Reynaldo  Hill and his lovely bride, Janina (ah, what a sweet couple they are) and now we have the privileged of having our images published in Southern Bride magazine!

Their winter wedding at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, TN was absolutely beautiful with pink hues all throughout and they paid special attention to detail.  This wedding was fantastic to shoot and could not have been done without the plenty of vendors who came together to pull it off (for a list of these highly esteemed vendors, see the end of this post).

If you would like to view some of their engagement images, follow this link to their Featured Engagement post, and to view a highlight from their wedding day via slideshow click here.

The Superb Vendors Who Made The Magic Happen:

The bride & groom photos that you see were taken at the hot Las Vegas style nightclub – FUSE when we were granted private access.

This wedding was coordinated by Courtney Hammons and her team from A Magical Affair and was held at Opryland Hotel.

All of the paper that you see (invitations, menus, programs, seating cards, etc) was custom created by the great Donette & Steve with Designs In Paper.

The cool Jen with Reveal Event Style was a huge part in planning the stunning decor.

Flowers were provided by A Village of Flowers.

Linens provided by Liz of Connie Duglin Linen.

The other team involved in the decor and who also did all the lighting is one of the coolest and kindest couples in the world with – Blue Nova Designs.

Our Bride & Groom had videographers capturing the day and they chose Danielle and her team Turning Point Productions.

The monogram they had on the dance floor & gobo, which you will see later, was provided by Go Disc Jokey of Nashville.

And last but not least, DJ Jamie Scott with Red Carpet Entertainment had the party going which you will see when we blog more!

This month we have the privileged of once again being published in Nashville’s coolest women’s magazine – Her Nashville. The above image is from one of our Nashville weddings and this shot was taken at the Marriott West End, in Nashville, TN.

I’m telling you, that magazine is addicting! We love the look of it, the newer slick pages they have, and get this folks – the ads are so non-boring looking that I (Jody) actually look over them instead of avoid them like the plague! They have great articles and writers, and it’s just an enjoyable magazine all around.

Now onto the pictures!! Her Nashville featured the wedding of the lovely Lee & Elisabeth Cunningham.
