Andrea and Dylan were married just after sunset at the beautiful St. Joseph’s in Bowling Green with their reception following at the Knights of Columbus Hall. It was a gorgeous November day and the last wedding I shot in 2011! Thanks to Shane Irwin for asking me to shoot with him again

Ashlee + Adam | Opryland Hotel | Christmas Tree Farm | Nashville Engagement Photography

Jessica — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:40:03 +0000

I had so much fun with Ashlee and Adam during their engagement session! We started the afternoon at the Opryland Hotel to take advantage of their gorgeous Christmas lights. Ashlee told me that the last time they had been to the hotel was the weekend of the flood. They had stayed the night and, in the morning, Adam had a gut feeling and rushed her out of the hotel. Ashlee said she remembers being upset that she didn’t even get to eat breakfast, but just a few hours later, as the rain poured in, the hotel was evacuated due to the flooding.

This was also my first trip back to the hotel since it reopened, and it was just as I remembered it. Even though we got confused and lost a few times, we had a great time finding spots for pictures!

After the hotel, we headed out to a Christmas tree farm in Lebanon for some quick sunset photos. How gorgeous is this couple??

Thanks you guys! Have a blast in Vegas!

Shane is a fellow local wedding photographer that I’ve shot with on many occasions. So when he told me that he was going to propose to his girlfriend Shannon on Christmas Eve at Opryland, how could I say no?

Mary Ann and Dave’s 50th Anniversary | Clarksville Event Photography

Jessica — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 16:28:44 +0000

I was truly honored to photograph Mary Ann and Dave’s 50th anniversary party in November. I’ve been a friend of the family since their granddaughter Sharley and I became best friends in elementary school over 20 years ago (WOW, does that make me feel old!), so I was touched when their daughter Tina asked me if I would shoot their anniversary party over in Bumpus Mills, Tennessee. Of course I would!

Congratulations on 50 years of marriage and many more to go!

I hope everyone has a great holiday season. I’m shooting a Christmas Eve proposal this afternoon, and then will be off spending the next few days with my family, so I may be slower to respond to emails until after the new year. Happy holidays!

Jenny and Brandon may have only known each other for six months, but their love was shining on their wedding day in Bowling Green. Their beautiful pink and white wedding at the Plano Baptist Church was put together in just one short month, but it definitely didn’t look like it! I was shooting with Shane Irwin for Jenny and Brandon’s October nuptials.

Roaring out of the 20s!

Jessica — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 16:29:43 +0000

My birthday was a couple weeks ago. I’ve been freaking out about my 30th birthday since I turned 25, so I knew I needed to do something big so I wouldn’t be sitting at home moping over it.

My idea was “Roaring out of the 20s”: a 1920s themed event that turned my house into a speakeasy, complete with period drinks, gambling, and dancing! It was AMAZING.

The cake was designed after my invitations by Sweetface Cakes and looked perfect. And the taste was out of the this world! The bottom layer was chocolate espresso with chocolate ganache filling and the top layer was red velvet with caramel cream cheese filling. All topped with the best buttercream I’ve ever tasted and then a layer of fondant.

I hired bartender, Kristen Aplin, to make all our specialty themed drinks. The menu included champagne, martinis, aviations, bronxes, manhattans, old fashioneds, and mint juleps.

Spangler Entertainment provided a craps table for the night, and David Hendricks did a great job as the dealer. After he left, we opened up the floor to do some dancing!

And, of course, there was a photo booth. Here’s a sampling of the 300+ photos I got! Don’t you love everyone’s costumes?

I am so grateful to everyone who made it out. Thank you so much for making it the best 30th birthday ever!
