Hermitage Hotel Mens Room # 1 in USA

Oh this is so exciting, knowing that The Hermitage Hotel has the Number ONE Men's Room in the United States as reported by Entertainment News, USA Today, The Tennessean, Channel 2 News, etc. And to know that my photographs below helped The Hermitage to achieve that status! The power of a photograph. Wow, we could go on and on, but I will stop and let you see the great photographs below and how they helped convince the judges that the Men's Room at The Hermitage Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee is truly outstanding, one-of-a-kind architectural gems we should all be very proud of.

Thought for Today

This has been an extremely busy week and I have yet to post the photo shoots I did on Saturday and Sunday. Check back here tomorrow to see some awesome views of a reception and table decorations.

In the mean time, I want to share with you a quote. I love quotes, love searching for them and thinking about their meanings.

Here's a quote for today.

"That which costs little is less valued." Miguel Cervantes

This is so true and so is its counterpart,  "You get what you pay for." unknown

Hope you like the quote.

Christ Church, Radius 10, oh wow!

Wow, this has been one extremely busy week that began with the marriage of Ashley and Casey. Friday, 8-8-08 is a date to remember.  I don't know when I had so many opportunities to capture so many moments of photojournalism, classic, fashion and documentary stories and scenes from a wedding. You see, Ashley is one of the most beautiful women you will meet and Casey is a professional model having worked in Milan, Paris and New York.

Alice Hendry, wedding planner extraordinaire, helped Ashley and her parents plan her wedding and reception for Christ Church Cathedral and Radius 10. Radius 10 is such a cool venue and each room was beautifully decorated with candles and floral arrangements by Branching Out. A tent on a raised platform extended the deck and completed with lounge furniture and colorful lighting was installed by Music City Tents and Events. One aspect of this wedding I have rarely witnessed, the bride sung a song to her groom while her father played the keyboard. How romantic is that?

What a night and what great people to work with. Please enjoy the photographs from Ashley and Casey's dream wedding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dorothy and Brandy

Opryland's Delta Pavilion and Magnolia Ballroom were the sites for Dorothy & Brandy's wedding and reception Saturday. Their ceremony was just beautiful under the gazebo in the Delta. Afterwards we took the wedding party on a stroll through New Orleans for some great backgrounds and photo opps. I do believe the wedding party was not quite prepared nor expecting what we had in mind for them. But they sure had a great time working with us and creating some stunning/beautiful images for Brandy & Dorothy.

The Magnolia Ballroom is always beautiful and this reception was just that much nicer. I loved the table decorations and the departure was unique. Everyone lined up with hands in air as the bride & groom worked their way through family and friends. What a fun time and Dorothy and Brandy ya'll were great! Thanks for being such great sports and wanting to have a much fun as possible. What an enjoyable time we all had.
