Millington Bridal Photography | Memphis Wedding Photographers

leftshoephotography — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 01:40:37 +0000

I am so happy to finally be able to share this bridal portrait session that I did this past summer with one of our beautiful Memphis brides. The photography session was concieved as a wedding present for the future groom, who is a former collegiate baseball player. I also did the engagement session for the couple in downtown Memphis, which I’ll be posting in the near future. For this photography session we got access to the former USA baseball training facility just outside Memphis in Millington, TN. The Memphis sun was absolutely brutal, but as a former model, the bride was absolutely amazing and made my job super easy!!!

I just love this picture of the engagement picture on top of the groom’s gameball from his first collegiate win.

Mud Island Photography | Memphis Photographers

leftshoephotography — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 02:02:03 +0000

Southern sunsets on the Mississippi river are so colorful when observed from Mud Island and looking towards Eastern Arkansas. That’s just where I was, recently, photographing a special Memphis photography session for one of our couples, when we were blessed with a beautiful canvas of color. As a Memphis photographer, the park on Mud Island, located just West of Harbor Town on Island Drive, is one of the prettiest locations to photograph in Memphis. On a warm Spring or Summer evening it’s one of my favorite places to take couples for their wedding or engagement pictures.

With the Hernando-Desoto Bridge connecting Memphis and Arkansas in the background we found a spot on the Mississippi river shoreline tucked between rocks and fallen trees for some really special photographs.

The setting sun reflecting a warm glow off all the leaves. It almost looked like Autumn.

West Memphis Wedding Photographers | Tia and Zach’s Wedding

leftshoephotography — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 03:38:41 +0000

Tia and Zach are such a beautiful couple! We were so fortunate to be able to photograph their wedding. We had the good fortune of meeting them only shortly before their wedding day through some of their friends, whose wedding we will be photographing later this wedding season. All their friends and family were such a nice group of people – it made it a real pleasure to be part of their special day. It’s one of the things that makes being a Memphis wedding photographer so wonderful – the interesting and friendly people.

Your boots rock Tia!!! She was so relaxed the morning of her wedding and her friends were so sweet; we had such a good time talking while they were getting ready, before it was time to go to the ceremony.

Tia and Zach got married at the beautiful First Presbyterian Church in West Memphis Arkansas – right across the Mississippi river from Memphis. It had a choir balcony in the back of the church, which provided a bird’s-eye view during the ceremony. It also was a perfect place where I could play with the lighting for some detail shots of her shoes with the church lights hanging from the ceiling in the background.

Tia had an exquisite dress and shoes, which made taking all the detail shots of her wedding really fun. They are always one of my favorite photographs that I take and usually are some of the Bride’s favorites a well.

Another Beautiful Southern Bride!

All of the flowers at Tia’s wedding were done by the Garden District. They did a fabulous job! All of the bouquets and arrangements were simply stunning.

Zach and the Boys!

Nothing beats a live band at a wedding reception! Especially when they are as good as The Shotgun Billys. They kept the crowd dancin’ and rockin’ into the wee hours!

Dana’s practicing her dance moves for her wedding! We’re looking forward to photographing her wedding and bridal session later this year.

Vendors:

Ceremony: First Presbyterian Church – West Memphis, TN

Reception and Caterer: Meadowbrook Country Club – West Memphis, TN

Florist: Garden District – Memphis, TN

Band: The Shotgun Billys

Darius and Lorian’s Wedding | Memphis Court Square Wedding Photography

leftshoephotography — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 02:12:27 +0000

We recently had the privilege of photographing Lorian and Darius’s wedding in the gazebo at Court Square Park in downtown Memphis. As you can tell from the pictures, the bridal couple was blessed with beautiful Memphis Spring weather for their wedding day. Even with all the beautiful gardens and parks in and around Memphis, nothing beats photographing couples or brides downtown on their wedding day or as part of an engagement or bridal session as far as I’m concerned; with so many picturesque buildings, bridges and backgrounds to choose from, the photo opportunities are limitless.

The plaque located in Memphis Court Square that marks the renovation of the court square gazebo to its original 1912 appearance. Court square is such a uniquely beautiful Memphis location for wedding photographs. The beautiful flowers in the park surrounded by the colorful urban backdrop of downtown Memphis provides a distinctive setting for weddings or engagement photographs, making it one of my favorite locations in and around Memphis to take photographs of clients.

Darius and his groomsman made such great subjects and with plenty of time and beautiful sunny weather we had a wonderful opportunity to take some really memorable photographs.

With the midday sun beating down we had a great opportunity to take some dramatic photographs under the shade of the Memphis court square gazebo.

Lorian and Darius!!!

The Essence of Memphis! After the wedding ceremony we took Lorian across Main St. and the Memphis trolley tracks to Confederate Park. The view from the Memphis bluff overlooking the beautiful Mississippi river, the old bridge connecting Tennessee and Arkansas, and the Mississippi river boats in the background provided a stunning backdrop for a beautiful Southern Bride!

I just love the color of the buildings in downtown Memphis…so stunning!

Congratulations Darius and Lorian! Thanks for letting us be part of your special day.

Kim and Pierce’s E-Session | Overton Park Memphis Engagement Photography

leftshoephotography — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 03:25:24 +0000

Kim and Pierce met us at Overton Park in Memphis, TN for their engagement session. They are such a fun and beautiful couple. We had a great time goofing around and getting some gorgeous images of them. The gardens at Overton Park and the architecture of the Brooks Art Museum (located in Memphis, TN next to the Memphis Zoo) lent us some beautiful backdrops for our future bride and groom’s engagement session.

Originally, Kim wanted to take all of their engagement photos out in a field of sunflowers. I was game but Mother Nature was not! With a heat wave hitting the week before our session, all the sunflowers wilted. We were bummed. But, I still managed to find a couple sunflowers for Kim and Pierce. This ended up being one of my favorite pictures of their engagement session! Thanks for such a fun evening Kim and Pierce…we still need to go get that milkshake! I am looking forward to your wedding day!
