Elliot-Hildreth Wedding, Negril-Jamaica

From the moment Leah and I arrived at the Tensing Pen resort in Jamaica we felt like part of Emily and Heath's family! The location they chose for their ceremony was magnificent and we had such a great time covering every minute. I forgot how much I liked Jamaican Jerk chicken. Keith, with Tensing Pen, made some of the best I ever had! Emily and Heath were a wonderful couple and they did an outstanding job of organizing every last detail to perfection.

Ashley Martin and Isaac Quinton had a picture perfect wedding at The Historic Bleak House on Saturday and Kristie did a great job of pulling all of the details together. The skies cleared up at exactly the right time for the ceremony. Leah, Sarah and I had a great time covering every moment of their day and I think we captured some beautiful images. By the end of the day we all felt like part of the family! To view a few more images, click on the photo below...

Jenkins-Dabbs Wedding

The day started out a little scary last Sunday...Beth had her heart set on having her wedding outside in the courtyard at Whitestone Inn but the weather that morning was stormy and there was a power outage. So Beth and her bridesmaids were getting ready using only the power from a portable generator. Fortunately the skies opened up and the power came back on just in time for the ceremony which turned out beautiful! This was my first wedding using our new remote controlled arial camera and I think we captured some great photographs. To view a few more images from Beth's wedding, click on the photo below...

City View Cover Shoot

Check out the May issue if City View hitting the stands in a couple of weeks. The model gracing the cover of the magazine also happens to be none other than my senior photographer and assistant, Leah Bullard. In addition to being a very creative and talented photographer I find out that she also makes a great cover model! Thanks to Walter, Beverly, Lynn and Chris for allowing us to use the Volunteer Princess yacht for a perfect backdrop. To view a few more images from the shoot, click on the photo below...

Ron Nutt's Birthday!

I must say that this was one of the most spectacular events I have had the pleasure of photographing. Several guests helped Ron Nutt celebrate his 70th birthday, from Congressman John Duncan to the President of U.T. and his spouse, Dr. & Mrs John Peterson as well as all of Ron's children and grandchildren. Lynda Vento did a superb job of orchestrating a magnificent party for Ron. The evening started with cocktails at Ron's house on the river accompanied by an authentic African band. The flower arrangements provided by Sam Franklin were over the top! Delores Davis did a great job of pulling all of the details together. After several toasts and a wonderful dinner catered by Holly Hambright, Ron and the guests were treated to "Rocky Top" and a few other songs from the U.T. marching band! Next was nothing other than a cruise aboard the 100 foot Volunteer Princess Yacht with every imaginable dessert to choose from. Then to cap off the evening Lynda arranged for a personal boomsday for Ron...a 10 minute fireworks show over the water that was truly awesome...happy birthday Ron!

Jordan is serving our country in the armed forces and is scheduled to leave for Afghanistan in a few weeks which prompted them to move their date up a couple of months.
