ALISHA & SPENCER

Intimate Waterfall Engagement Session at Rock Island State Park

First of all, I have to give a HUGE shout out to Kaila Lassey from Klassey Productions for introducing Alisha to me. THANK YOU.

Alisha and I met at Barista Parlor in Nashville over some delish coffee and got to know each other a little better after emailing back and forth for a while. Needless to say, within the first 10 minutes, I was obsessed with her and Spencer's relationship. Dreamy McDreamboat. Mostly I just wanted her hair.

We talked about everything! Interests, hobbies, favorite wedding details, her dress, her venue, Spencer's family, her job and of course, her videographers... Kaila and Jay. Whom just so happen to be our very best friends.

Fast forward to a couple months later when we all decided to get together so that Kaila and Jay could film their Love Story. (If you don't know what a Love Story is, hire Kaila and Jay and you WON'T be disappointed) We decided on Rock Island State Park because DUH, look at that waterfall!

As Klassey Productions filmed the ever flowing beauty that was radiating from Alisha and Spencer, Jacob and I were steadily documenting the still moments. Alisha and Spencer dove right into their feelings for each other and gave us some of the most inspirational images we could have gotten in a short amount of time (it was HOT). Their chemistry was one for the books. We were so in love with the romanticism that was pouring from their bodies.

UGH be still my heart. One thing I love the most about my job, is the different stories that come from each couple that we work with. No two stories or couples are ever the same. And that is something that blows me away every time I work with someone. I am a hopeless romantic, so getting couples who are just as hopeless as I am, make me squeal with excitement.

We are so honored to be with Alisha and Spencer on their wedding day at Mint Springs Farm in Nashville, Tn this fall. Even MORE honored that we get to work alongside Klassey Productions.
CONGRATS YOU TWO.

Here are some of our faves from their Love Story! (Also, be sure to check out their video below!)

A Timeless Engagement | Covington, Tennessee | The Hatches Wedding + Elopement Photographers

A TIMELESS ENGAGEMENT

Jacob and LB Wingfield, ladies and gentlemen.

These images are from a Lookslikefilm Tennessee meet up from last summer. One of the best things about these meet ups is the way you challenge yourself to shoot in different angles to avoid having someone else in your shot. (it usually gets crowded at these things lol)

UGH, here are my FAVES! <3

Kaila & Jay | Urban Downtown Nashville Engagement |

Jay and Kaila. Where do I even begin? I know you've heard me talk about them before but I don't think I could ever find enough words in a short paragraph to really tell you about these two. Kaila found me on social media and I could tell by her excessive use of exclamation points and capital letters that we were going to be the best of friends. HA. I was right. Numerous trips to Nashville just for hang outs with their sweet siamese cats, Abigail and Miss Daisy. Oh and them too, of course ;)

We planned to come hang out one trip and it turned into a photo sesh downtown. We hit the streets, specifically Printer's Alley, and just started shooting. We wanted more of a documentary\journalistic style, as well as Kaila and Jay, to show their chemistry more prominently in photos versus in words. We wrapped up on the bridge after the sun had set and we were mostly alone. Those are probably my favorites <3

And of course what is Jay without his longboard? We HAD to let them use their longboards during their session because, DUH. Seriously the coolest people ever. You'll see.

To say Kaila and Jay have become good friends of ours would be putting it lightly. Its more like a complicated family thing and we're just better altogether than apart ;) I love these two TO DEATH. And past that. I'm most excited to see you guys tomorrow and FINALLY work together!

(BTW, phenomenal videography team here, folks. Check them out here!)

WE LOVE YOU GUYS.

JESSICA & JORDAN | ENGAGED

Meet Jessica and Jordan. One couple who was beyond my expectations for clients. I can say that by the end of this post you'll have fallen in love with them, too.

Jessica is full of life and has the most contagious laugh. Jordan thinks the world of Jessica. Their love seeped into the images we created that day. It was almost impossible for them to take a bad picture! We started at an automotive shop not far from their wedding venue, Loflin Yard. It was rather cold, after all it was January, so getting inside the building made for some fun and cozy shots. We were even welcomed by a train! Haha. I don't know who had more fun, the conductor or Jessica! :P

We made our way towards Spring Creek Ranch for their second location and when we arrived, it blew my mind! The staff was more than accommodating and went way out of their way to make sure we had a great time enduring the cold and windy weather.

After stocking up on hot coffee and heated golf carts we proceeded to ride around the golf course and pick different spots to play around in! We had a ball. From wrong turns to jumping in and out long enough to warm our hands and feet.

Their wedding is Wednesday, May 3 at Loflin Yard and we cannot WAIT to watch these two become one at this eclectic venue and work alongside some AMAZING vendors such as Pickler Events, Deedra Stone, White Door Events and Klassey Productions!

We will see you guys soon!! <3

An Intimate Mountainside Engagement At Sunset | Heber Springs Arkansas | The Hatches : Memphis Wedding + Elopement Photographer

AN INTIMATE MOUNTAINSIDE ENGAGEMENT

HAYLEY + ZACH | HEBER SPRINGS, AR

Mountains and waterfalls and sunsets, OH MY! But even more "oh my!" because its one gorgeous couple like Hayley & Zach. Who will also be tying the knot THIS saturday! Hayley and Zach are one couple who made it very evident in the very beginning on how important their wedding pictures were to them and added on a Day After Session for when they get back from their honeymoon for even more pictures of them in their wedding attire. DREAM BOAT CENTRAL RIGHT HERE, FOLKS.

There are so many things that you spend money on when planning your wedding but one thing that sticks around after you've broke out your cake on your one year anniversary and finally sent out that last Thank You card, are the images and video from your day. Photographs are the only tangible thing left after your day BLOWS past you.

Don't put it on the back burner, if you want your photos to last you for years and years, make it on the top priorities of your list right next to Venue and Date.

Back to Hayley and Zach ;) Meet the most intimate and lovey and adventurous couple. We met for lunch at this cute little mexican restaurant, that didn't have margaritas (bummer), but had some hella good cheesy chicken over rice. We then just drove. We found the creek and man made waterfall close by but everything else was us just driving and pulling over. These are my favorite types of sessions because I get SO MUCH in such a short amount of time.

I had to narrow it down, tremendously but here are some of my favorites!
Congrats Mr & Mrs Horne! Can't wait to see you guys on Saturday!

A MOODY & ADVENTUROUS ENGAGEMENT

FALL CREEK FALLS

JEREMY + AMANDA

Jeremy + Amanda contacted us for an Adventure Session as their engagement session a few months ago and we immediately started looking for a new park to go explore. She sent me a few waterfall choices and we were totally in love with Fall Creek Falls in Cookeville, TN.

We got to know Jeremy + Amanda and they got to know us. We talked about hobbies, bands, movies and laughed at ourselves more than anything, we found out none of us are very coordinated when walking narrow trails haha.

We met at the suspension bridge and then proceeded to walk further into the woods. I tell you there is nothing better than a few walks in the woods. I say a few because we walked the same trail 3 times due to being unsure which way to go lol. Needless to say we always have fun on these types of sessions.

Locked away from cell phone service, we let Jeremy + Amanda take their time with each other and really embrace their love for each other. Its hard to narrow down when we get couples like J + A who make our job so easy. Here are some of our favorites from their session!!

Now.... let's schedule a movie night ;)

A Rustic Canoe Engagement | Tyler & Jessica | The Hatches | Memphis Tennessee Wedding Photographer

Emily Hatch September 30, 2016

JESSICA & TYLER

You might recognize this couple from their surprise proposal that I photographed last August in the sunflower field, so incredibly adorable right?

Of course, one of the things I love about Jessica is her love for being unique. Other people may have done a canoe engagement session before but this was a first for me and, let me tell you.... it was a heck of a work out. BUT totally worth it. As you'll see below, it was almost impossible to not get a gorgeous picture of these two.

Jessica and Tyler will be tying the knot next August at The Barn At Snider Farms and we are beyond excited!!! HUGE thanks to Jonah for helping Tyler and I get the canoe down and of course to Haily for assisting me and helping me lay all of these florals just perfectly <3

Here are a few of my faves from their session last month!
CONGRATS JESSICA AND TYLER!
