There’s been recent chatter with couples about eloping… Has me thinking about this stroll through Banff. Sounds like something right up your alley? Funny story, it’s 100% my jam.

I’ve been fortunate when it comes to photographing couples at amazing locations outside of the U.S., but funny story about Tennessee.. It has some beautiful spots too. Exhibit A: This gorgeous elopement at Rutledge Falls in Tullahoma, TN.

Oh by the way, sometimes we like to have a party with lighting. The weather during this engagement shoot at Bledsoe Creek in Gallatin, TN wasn’t cooperating, and the couple was hoping for a beautiful sunset by the lake. When it comes to Tennessee weather, these things happen.. often.. I told them to not worry, and that I had an idea. I pulled out a flash and we ran with what we had available. My dad always said, prior planning prevents p**s poor performance. Always ready to create something beautiful, no matter the scenario.

Engagement session season is in full swing. I know that I’m known for being the outdoorsy-nature guy, but I also enjoy a quaint downtown atmosphere too. Oh, and you have props that have meaning to you?! Yes please! It’s warming up outside, the flowers are blooming, and I would love to talk about some amazing ideas for your engagement session 📸

When I’m at a wedding, I’m there for all of it. The laughs, the tears, the quiet moments, and definitely the loud moments. All. Of. It. Yea, we’ll get the beautiful photos for grandma’s mantle, but we’re also getting all the candid moments before and after the standard stuff. Sure, you might not want grandma to see some of those photos, but maybe grandma is like my family.. and craziness is normal and expected. Maybe those are the photos she wants on her mantle… 🤷‍♂️

During a recent engagement session, I talked about my favorite game of “guess what’s behind David in this picture?!” What’s in front of the camera in these photos: love, the gorgeous scenery of Banff, a perfect moment. What’s not in the picture: a sea of people a few feet in front of me, tourist buses at my back, the parking lot I was standing in. That’s why you hire an experienced photographer. Whenever I say “no worries, I’ll make it work” it means you hired confidence, someone that can navigate the situation, and the trust that I’m there to capture beautiful moments no matter the surroundings.

Iceland: Other worldly, one of a kind, beautiful… I can go on and on attempting to describe its beauty, and I wouldn’t scratch the surface. Taking another trip there does have a certain ring to it. Care to join?

Golden. Hour. Magic. The wedding party later challenged me to a keg stand once the sun went down. As a professional, I often say the phrase “the answer is always yes” when someone requests something. Let me know if you all want to see those picturesque gems.

So excited to be back at tomorrow! The options are plentiful, and there’s beauty around every corner. The ballroom, the cabins, the hearth area, the gorgeous steps.. it definitely provides. Looking forward to the magic it provides for tomorrow’s wedding!
