One_Year_Old_Photography_Session

This blog should be called the many funny and adorable faces of Charlie. So many expressions from this child (that I think he gets from his mom) and as you know, I love funny kid faces. I know both of Charlie's parents from working with them in the wedding and event industry so when they asked me to photograph this cute little guy's 1 year portraits, I couldn't wait. The area that we started the session in was were Charlie's parents were married! Please enjoy this sneak peek of Charlie's Belle Meade Plantation 1 Year Old Session.

Boulder_Lifestyle_Photography_Session

The day before Sarah and Simon's Backyard Wedding in Boulder, Colorado I photographed an In Home Lifestyle Session of the two of them in their living room. They had just come from the court house where they had a private wedding ceremony. They were "just married" giddy and kept trying out the terms husband and wife. It was incredibly sweet. Once we finished at the house we went to a nearby park and then the location of their first date! Of course we included the fabulous Rosie, the Min Pin baby of the family.

Sneak Peek Intimate LDS Wedding - Katie & Craig

An Intimate LDS Destination Wedding photographed in Franklin by Erin Lee Allender of Nashville Tennessee.

Couple_Laughs_At_Each_Other

Katie calls Craig her unicorn- her magical mystical creature that she didn't think existed. They met 10+ years ago in a completely different state and realized that they lived a few counties apart. Years and years past when Katie reached out to Craig on Instagram. Once Craig realized that it was the cute bubbly girl that he met so many years ago, they started talking and by Christmas they were engaged.  

I got to photograph this lovely couple this past weekend. Because they were married in private ceremony at the LDS Nashville Temple, I did not photograph their ceremony. But I did get to photograph Katie getting ready, their portraits, and their reception at the Franklin Marriott Cool Springs. I hope you can feel the excitement of these two in these photos. I thought Katie was going to burst because she was so happy. Craig couldn't stop taking iPhone photos of his beautiful bride. It was incredibly sweet and I'm so glad that I got work with these two.

Sneak Peek Classic Spring Wedding - Channing & Taylor

A classic spring wedding at Covenant Presbyterian Church and University Club Nashville photographed by Erin Lee Allender in Tennessee.

I met Channing and her mom in Frothy Monkey last fall. My house had just flooded and we were living in an Airbnb without the pups. All I wanted to do was sit in front of the TV with ice cream and eat my miseries away. The last thing I wanted to do was have to promote myself to new people but then walked in two of the loveliest people ever, Channing and her mom Heidi. I instantly wanted to photograph this wedding. 

This past weekend I finally got to meet the groom, Taylor and the rest of the bride and groom's families. When I say I have the best couples and the best families, I really mean it. These two and their families despite the ridiculous heat were gracious and fun the whole entire day. The size of this wedding party beat out the count of any other wedding party that I have photographed in my career and there wasn't a difficult one in the bunch. They were all amazing!!! Most importantly you could tangibly see how much joy Channing and Taylor had in each other's presence. Please enjoy their sneak peek!
