Got the privilege to shoot the Parkers not too long at Turnipseed nursery. They brought it.

P.S. Blythe’s eyes are really that amazing….no extra punch was added.

Mary + Josh

Tina and I have gotten the chance to hang with this awesome couple a few times and have had a blast getting to know them. Mary and Josh completely had Tina and I fooled that they didn’t know how to take pictures. Yeah, right. They did an amazing job of interacting with each other. They said their motto for the evening was do whatever Chad and Tina tell us to do. They took ownership of the directions we gave them and looked so natural behind the camera. Can’t wait for your wedding!!

Tina and I had the great privilege of traveling to Mexico to capture Haley and Brandon’s wedding. Their wedding took place at El Dorado in the Riveria Maya and was absolutely breathtaking. We had a fantastic time celebrating with their families and wish them much love and happiness in their new adventure of marriage.

I know, I know our blogging game has been sucking lately. If you are using our blog to assess how much work we are actually doing; don’t. The wedding season is about to start up and I’ve been jumping at the chance to do engagement pictures with Sarah and Jason. I love the chance to hang with a couple during engagement sessions and I feel like it gives everyone a chance to get to know each other. The lighting and weather were absolutely perfect as we talked about everything including organic ketchup. Can’t wait to celebrate your marriage with you in a couple of weeks!

Haneezy’s Epic Throwdown Extravaganza

chad & tina — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 12:38:09 +0000

About a month ago we threw a big party to celebrate our daughter turning 1. We may have gone a little over board, but there are two things you need to know about Tina and I: we love to throw parties and we love celebrating God’s graciousness in giving us a daughter. We decided not to do gifts, but instead raise money for Gospel for Asia to sponsor native missionaries in Asia. We were able to raise $340 to buy some sheep, goats, and bicycle. I had some time the other day to edit them and here are a few of our favorites.

For all of you out there that are judging us because we don’t have more pictures of our daughter, it’s not our fault. I have actually never met a person who hates the camera more than our daughter, seriously. Tina leads a women’s Bible study on Monday nights, so Hannah and I usually hang out in the bedroom. This particular day, she hung out in the bathroom/closet. I grabbed my camera and was able to snag a few good shots. She just turned a year and it’s crazy how big she’s gotten. On a side note, she looooooooooooves YO GABBA GABBA. I’ve found myself still watching even when she hasn’t.

Here are a few pictures of Iris and Josh. They are such a sweet couple. Josh is deploying overseas soon and we wanted him to see a few of their pictures before he leaves. Thank you for serving our country and allowing us to be a part of your wedding!

JoAnna & Harrison

chad & tina — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 16:20:26 +0000

I could literally take pictures of these two all day long. After their mind-blowing engagement session, I knew their wedding would be of epic proportions. From the custom bow ties, to her J. Crew wedding dress, to the custom Mason jar favors; JoAnna had a hand in everything. They did an amazing job of putting together the perfect Fall wedding. Even more than that, was the way JoAnna and Harrison looked at each other. You could tell they had been longing for this day and it was evident as their closes friends and family gathered around and celebrated their love for each other. Tina and I were honored to be there in celebration with you both!

Hope everyone is enjoying their week. My sweet baby Hannah is napping right now so I thought I would take advantage by posting a much needed blog. Kara and Andy are so much fun. When we shot their engagement pictures we were laughing and cutting up the whole time. It was then we found out that Andy was a baby model. Sorry Andy your secret is out!

Kara and Andy, we had a great time celebrating with you guys and are grateful to call you friends!

Kara and Andy had so many amazing details for their wedding. Kara went hunting through many thrift stores to find most of her details and it came together wonderfully! I must add, they looked rather awesome themselves.

Lost at the park.

Tina and I are [literally] packing our bags as I write this to go to shoot Jennifer and Eric’s gorgeous wedding in the foothills of Tennessee. We are super excited about the amazing weather coming our way for the next week. I mean, who doesn’t love fall? Get outside this weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather; picnic’s, runs, patio dinning, reading, or just sit outside because in a month or so we are going to have short, dark, frigid days. That’s why Christmas is in December, because it’s such an ugly month. Now if only we could figure out what to do with January and February…..

I promised to blog and wanted to leave a sneak peek up of Eric and Sophia’s family session we did a few weeks ago.We literally lost track of time while shooting their family. I promise I’ll post more in the weeks to come.
