I had only set foot in that church once before, and that was to hear Bishop Swanson speak, which was a great experience in and of itself. This time it was nice to go and have the opportunity to photograph the beauty of the sanctuary, which is really quite remarkable.

Frank + Shannon were a treat to photograph. It was amazing to see them truly ‘light up’ when they first saw one another. It was also a very symphonic day: because both the bride and groom are concert violinists, many of their friends and family share in their giftedness. I think that the bridal party alone could have put together a phenomenal music group! The talent didn’t end there, as faculty from Vanderbilt’s Blair School of Music played both before and during the wedding ceremony.

Later, guests traveled to the Old Woolen Mill for a reception, which proved to me that musicians can indeed dance. SoundForce kept the party going great, and the bride and groom were whisked away in an immaculate ’59 Rolls Royce from Regal Carriages.

Frank and Shannon, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day. I hope that you enjoy this sneak peek, but make sure that you register here to see ALL of the images when they are available.

Brandon and Anne, we want to thank you for choosing both John and I to be a part of your wedding day. We loved every minute of it!  Make sure to check out their slideshow, and you can also register on Pictage to be notified when all of the images are ready!
