A Cozy Intimate In-Home Photoshoot in Austin, Texas | Luke + Molly

Have you met Luke and Molly Schweim? If you haven’t, you are truly missing out. If you have met them, you know exactly what I mean.

Let’s see, where to begin?

I first noticed Luke and Molly (btw it is super weird to NOT say their names together for some reason LOL) in a photography group called LOOKSLIKEFILM. This group is widely known for being filled with incredible photographers from all over the world.

What attracted me the most to them was their sense of style and use of space and lighting in their photos. They are a husband and wife team of boudoir photographers but are also phenomenal in portrait and fine art photography.

After obnoxiously commenting on all of their posts and stalking them on every social media outlet, I messaged them with the fullest extent of excitement that I could offer. I wanted their friendship. They were so inspiring to me and I had to know everything about them.

We made our way to Austin, Texas back in February before COVID took over the world. We had a full week of plans but there was one thing I HAD to do before I left, and that was to visit the Schweim’s.

At this point, they had just moved to Texas from Minnesota and were in a brand new place both physically and mentally. You could even say emotionally.
We sat and talked over Luke’s kick ass waffles for breakfast about life and its struggles but also about its joys that it had to offer.

What better time to document this new and fearfully exciting time in their lives than in their beautifully aesthetic apartment?!

Molly has such a way with words. When you talk, she listens…. intently. She gives your feelings validation without even trying just by simply being present with you.

Luke? Oh man… Luke loves that woman with every ounce of his being. They are a force to be reckoned with.

Luke and Molly.

I will forever cherish our friendship. I will hold our deep conversations close to my heart until the next time we get to see each other!

Best of 2017 | A Year In Review | The Hatches - Tennessee Wedding & Elopement Photographers

Where do we even begin? 

It's that time of the year where we reflect on our past year and reminisce on our memories. I don't know if many other photographers felt this way, but I had this overwhelming feeling, that I really didn't do much this year. (I know call me crazy, I was always somewhere doing something) I don't know why I was stuck in this mindset but I'm glad I got stuck there because it pushed me to start going through all of my images from 2017 and prove myself wrong. 

Well that was a mistake. Not a mistake as in that I couldn't prove myself wrong, (because I surely did) but a mistake as in - "shit, how am I going to narrow this down?"

I didn't get all of my stats together this year like I did last year with how many states we visited and how many weddings we shot and yadda yadda because, if we're being honest, the only people who genuinely are interested in that are other photographers so they can figure out how to "one-up" someone else.

JK. (only half kidding) LOL

This year we focused on feelings, emotion and how to sustain images that make you feel like you were there. We really wanted to put into perspective how intimacy meant more than something sexual, but being completely vulnerable with your partner in a way where empathy and adoration poured from your body language. Judging by the images below, i think we did a pretty good job. 

Our main goal was to find ourselves in our work. Meaning : to become what we wanted our images to interpret. Romantic, Fleeting, Intimate and Adventurous. Marriage is a commitment and a journey within itself, just embrace it. 

One of our biggest accomplishments in 2017 (besides bringing our 3rd baby boy into the world) was The Real Workshop. My dear friend, Elizabeth Hoard and I had the chance at hosting our own wedding workshop back in August of 2017. We held it at Petit Jean State Park with 9 incredible speakers, 50 new and established photographers and a rugged trek to a waterfall while 8 and 1/2 months pregnant. Didn't really think that last one through. But we made it out alive. Barely.

I'm not going to sell you on why we started this workshop or how we came across the idea but if you are interested, click the link above and read allllll about it.

We danced, laughed, ate, traveled and saw more this year than we ever have. We learned from mistakes and we broke new grounds. We couldn't be more grateful for 2017 than we already are. Especially, with the amazing clients and new friends it brought us. 

We have SO much to look forward to in 2018. Here's to this past year and all of its glory.

*cheers*

Spring Inspired - Intimate Backyard Elopement | Memphis Tennessee | The Hatches Wedding and Elopement Photographers

AARON + ANNA

memphis-tennessee-wedding-photographer-the-hatches-utah-colorado-washington-arizona-oregon-yosemite-national-park-elopement-adventure-emotional-journalistic

Connor & Co. and I were itching to play around with lots of florals since all of the greens from spring rains were starting to pop through this dreadfully dead season we've been in lately. We popped into Fresh Market and got lots of pretty colors to use and spent the day making the arrangements and bouquet. 

Aaron and Anna were available to come hang out with us and fight off all the summer bugs for a few hours and boy were we glad! Their chemistry was unbelievable. Not needing any direction from us, they became one together in their movements right before my very eyes. I WAS IN LOVE.

Having been recently married, their love poured outwards even more than I had originally planned to shoot. But I wasn't going to stop them. Sometimes when you just feel it, you go with it. No matter what. And 9 times out of 10, it turns out way better than you anticipated. 

Wall Doxey State Park was our "backyard" for this bright and intimate Spring Inspired Elopement. One of my favorite places to shoot. 

I had an absolute blast getting to know Aaron and Anna this evening. They made me feel like a cool kid. 

One thing I wanted to capture with this styled shoot was the emotion and chemistry between a couple and their interactions to bring out the heart gripping feelings when you're in the presence of someone you love deeply. Anna and Aaron made that extremely easy for me. I love the happy and joyous moments but I also love the soft and serene moments between two people. Every marriage has both along with many other moments. It isn't easy, but its worth it when those hard times pass. There is nothing greater than going through life and all of its curveballs with someone who knows you inside and out better than you know yourself.

Urban Lifestyle Engagement | Kaila & Jay | Nashville Tennessee | The Hatches Wedding and Elopement Photography

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.

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

The Hatches | 2016 : A Year in Review | Memphis Tennessee Wedding and Elopement Photographers

2016 : A YEAR IN REVIEW

THE HATCHES | MEMPHIS TENNESSEE

 

SO for starters I have to just say.... Wow. That about sums it up. 2016 was the year I discovered who I was and who I wanted to be. 2016 took me to new places I had never seen before. 2016 gave me friendships, I've never dreamed of before. I have grown in my work and my style and have had clients become lifelong friends. 

YOU guys have made this year one HELL of a year. We traveled more than we ever have but not as much as we are going to. We have so so so much to share for whats in store for 2017 but for now we want to remember 2016 and some of the best times of our lives.

We've traveled to 9 States, shot 31 Weddings, and 106 Sessions. We also flew on a plane for the first time.

2016 : You were kick-ass..... 

2017 : Take notes. Its only up from here.

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS. WE LOVE YOU.

*I didn't get a chance to post every single session. Please do not feel discouraged, I have so much more to share from 2016. This is just the beginning! <3*

A Moody Midtown Senior Session | The Hatches | Memphis Tennessee Wedding + Elopement Photographers

A MOODY MIDTOWN SENIOR SESH

Alayia had reached out to me months ago and expressed how much she loved our style and how we use our colors in images. We talked and planned her outfits and locations and the day finally came that we would get to meet in person. 

We met at Hi-Definition Salon in Southaven with the one and only Abrianna (AB). I have been so so so extremely thankful to have met AB through my dear friend Cassie. AB has the most creative incentive about her work that I admire indefinitely. I send EVERYONE to her. I love her to death.

Alayia and I talked about our favorite bands and hobbies and everything our little emo hearts could fathom. BTW, She's a HUGE Bring Me The Horizon fan and thats just up my alley so you can imagine how this afternoon went :) We played around in Midtown around the Arts District and HAD to have some coffee from one of my favorite coffee shops there, City & State. 

We had an absolute blast. And I know I say that a lot but I guess its safe to say, you're gonna have a blast with me haha. Here are my favorites from her session with me! I hope you enjoy!!

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 Playful Sunrise Anniversary Session | Shira + Wesley | The Hatches - Memphis Wedding Photographers

A PLAYFUL SUNRISE ANNIVERSARY SESSION

SHIRA + WESLEY | MEMPHIS TENNESSEE

WOW. That's what I'm going to start with. Shira and Wesley were every photographer's DREAM to capture. From the moment they stepped out of their car to the very last frame, they lit up the world around them. When Shira smiled, Wesley smiled. When Wesley laughed, Shira laughed. I had never met a couple more in sync like these two. 

They both, despite the freezing cold, had me laughing until my sides hurt. They were so... energetic and full of love and emotion for each other, I had VERY little direction to give them. I literally sat and soaked up every second of their relationship. And I have ZERO complaints. 
 

Shira is also a photographer, Shira Marie Photography, so photographing them came as easy as their love for each other. Wesley admires Shira. You could see it in his face. And Shira adores Wesley, you can see it in her smile. I LOVE these two, I hope I get to photograph them again!

Here are some of my absolute faves, I hope you guys enjoy! <3

A Moody and Adventurous Engagement | Fall Creek Falls | The Hatches - Memphis Tennessee Wedding Photographers

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 ;)

" I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH ADVENTURES; SO I BEGIN TO WONDER, IF THAT'S WHY I'VE FALLEN FOR YOU."

A Southern Wedding In The Sunflowers | Laurel Rose Manor | Como, Mississippi | The Hatches - Wedding Photographers

A Southern, Summer Wedding In A Sunflower Field at Laurel Rose Manor

Matt & Sarah Wigington

SEPTEMBER 03, 2016

Sarah is the younger sister of my beloved best friend, Meagen and she is the polar opposite. I love it haha. Sarah is reserved and just goes with the flow. Which is exactly how her BEAUTIFUL wedding day went at Laurel Rose Manor; the home of her parents, Dr Mike and Mrs Lisa Cockrell.

When I tell you guys how I love this house, I don't quite think you just really understand why I love this house. I first saw this beautiful landscape in 2014 when Meagen got married here and I was blown away by the variety that this stunning piece of architecture offered. SO naturally, later when Sarah was to be wed here, I already knew the property enough to visually plan ahead on how we were going to shoot. 

If you make it all the way to the bottom (because there are a LOT of images shared here LOL), the beautiful decor and placements were constructed by my AWESOME friend, and former bride of mine from April, Kelsey Connor with her company Connor & Co.
You need to check her out if you are planning ANY event... She is a GODSEND!! #blessyoukelsey

These are some of my favorites from their whole day. Sarah made for one stunning bride and Matt was dapper in his timeless suit. Take the time to let these two know how loved they are!!

CONGRATS MR & MRS WIGINGTON!

A Sweet and Spunky Senior Session | Olivia - Jackson, MS | The Hatches | Memphis Tennessee Senior Photographer

O L I V I A   C H A N D L E R

HI GUYS. Meet Olivia. One remarkable young lady with all the sass, spunky, carefree and personality you could ever hope for. Olivia and her mother, Cori, drove all the way from Jackson, MS to do her senior portraits with me and I have to say, I was shocked! Flattered more than anything but shock was definitely one of those feelings. 

I had no idea that Olivia even knew who I was but she insisted that she had followed me on Instagram and was determined to have me take her senior photos. I think this made the session a little more personal for me. I was humbled, awe struck and full of so much joy that Olivia chose me to photograph her senior pictures. Her and her mother were such a delight and some of the most genuinely hearted people I had met! 

Olivia completely  K I L L E D  her session. Here are just a few highlights of her time with me :)
Thanks so much Olivia and Mrs Cori! <3

An Affectionate Waterfall Engagement | Nathan & Allie | Petit Jean State Park | Wedding Photographers - The Hatches

NATHAN & ALLIE

I will start this blog off by saying, my legs are STILL SORE. Although that could be argued with the fact that I'm always on a trail of some sort, hiking into some kind of wooded area. 

We took separate vehicles and used Snapchat to fire questions back and forth to each other. We probably had the most fun with this. It helped us get Allie and Nathan's interests and hobbies and quirky little stories and helped them open up to us and really let us in on their love life. 
Not in a "nosey" kind of way but in a way where we could all trust each other enough to get the emotions and vibes we were trying to pull from them. 

"What is something that Nathan is stronger with where you are weaker?"

"What's your favorite thing to do on Sunday mornings?"

"What is something that you two are looking forward to on your wedding day?"

We were completely blown away at the chemistry between these two. The laughs, the talks, the movements, all of it, simply intimate. We didn't pay attention to time or the people around us, we were just living in the moment and connecting with new friends. I, for one, am SO excited for their spring wedding at the beautiful venue, Bonne Terre. 

May can't come fast enough and we cannot wait to celebrate you guys ALL DAY as you take your next step into the adventure of marriage <3

Thank you both for allowing Jacob and I to invade your personal space and make some magic with ya ;)

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

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!

Jenna Layne | A Wandering Soul | Tucson Desert | Arizona Wedding Photographers

JENNA LAYNE EDWARDS | AZ WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

There is a list more than a few miles long of all the things I could tell you guys about Jenna. 

I first met Jenna back in March 2016 after I posted in a photographer's community group about going to Arizona in August for vacation. Little did I know that when Jenna commented "ME ME ME, let's have coffee before I move there!", we were going to become lifelong friends. Whether she wanted to or not. But she did so I am relieved haha.
 

Jacob and I made the plans to go to Arizona and Jenna and I stayed in touch and hung out whenever she flew back home to Memphis to work. August could not come fast enough. 

Jenna and I spent some alone time together the first night we got in and just opened up to each other. About life, about celebrations, about trials, about photography, about marriage, about our past and about our future. We laughed and laughed and cried and laughed until about 2:00AM, (4:00AM back on Memphis time) and then got up the next morning to explore Tucson. 

The bond Jenna and I made, in the short time from which our friendship sprouted, has felt like it's been there our whole lives.

Weekend trips, countless hours in car rides and deep talks, sang Hozier and The Head and the Heart for an hour, sat in silence, cried together, pigged out together, she even got me to watch like 3 hours of Bones... I just love her. She is my pocket full of sunshine even when her skies are grey.

"THE WORLD IS REALLY BIG AND I WANT TO GET A GOOD LOOK BEFORE IT GETS DARK"

I guess you could say... long story short... it's like the saying about finding your real friends in your 20 something years, ^^^^ that's what happened. 2016 has given me some of the best people that could have ever entered my life and I am forever grateful. Here is to YOU, guys. May you always remember why you started this crazy journey in the first place and keep it close to your heart. Jenna, I love you goob. Can't wait to see you again!

A Fun and Creative Senior Session | The Hatches | Wedding Photographer

Ashley W. | Senior

When I say we got creative with Ashley's session, I mean I shot her whole senior session at 3 different restaurants in my current hometown. Would you have guessed? Haha 

We started at Casa Mexicana because I just simply adored this weird and fuzzy looking plant. And you guys know.... I'm all about weird stuff. The light was crazy perfect because it was a little overcast but we got some sunshine here and there. Ashley hung out in my office for an hour or so while Cristina A did her hair and make up. You can check out her portfolio here : (Cristina Aguirre)

After Casa, we headed over to Wendy's... yeah we did. There was a small willow tree I had eyed one day when I just had to have a Frosty and some fries, and said "Yep. Using that one day." It's so funny seeing all the looks I get when I just randomly pull in somewhere and get out with my camera. But hey, sometimes you just have to get creative. ;)

Last we stopped at Colton's because Mom had gotten into my mindset and saw a beautiful white stone wall that would look perfect with Ashley's striped navy dress.. so we trucked it over there. This was definitely one of my favorite sessions as I tried all new locations and even a few tricks while shooting. I've started to slow down while shooting and I'm loving the results I'm getting. 

Thank you so much to Ashley and her mom for coming to Olive Branch and letting me photograph her as the giddy and remarkable person she is. These are a handful of my favorites, I hope you enjoy them!!

An Urban Love | Brian and Skylar | Tennessee Lifestyle Photographer | The Hatches

BRIAN & SKYLAR | AN URBAN COUPLE

Skylar and Brian were absolutely wonderful to work with. There is nothing we love more than natural chemistry between two people and Brian and Skylar were complete naturals, at that. We laughed, we ran through tall grass with fear of snakes, we sweat our tails off but had the best time doing it. We love when couples will let loose and let us get them comfortable in their own skin during their session. We want to give youmore than "just taking pictures", we want to create an experience with you. We want to make memories with you.

Of course, they rocked the hell out of their superhero shirts. The whole session, really. I can't get enough of these images. Thank you, Brian and Skylar for hanging out with us and making our job easy. We love you guys!!

Here are our favorites!

A Golden Family | Shelby Farms | Memphis Tennessee Wedding Photographer

THE GOLDEN FAMILY

Every year since Bray was just a sweet little babe, Chris, Alika, Bray and I venture off to have a fun family session. This time we picked Shelby Farms so that Bray could totally let loose and have some fun exploring. I was so eager to see how much Bray had grown since we last saw each other and boy did he have some stories to tell!

One of my favorite things about my job choice (because I don't have to do this but I choose to, I want to!) is watching each family grow. Each year they have new stories to tell, new tricks to share and new adventures to explore and I get to hear it all. I love it. Having fun with my clients is my top priority, along with documenting your precious moments, of course. As I was showing Alika and Chris some from the back of my camera, Alika would say things like "Yep. That one is going up in the living room." and my heart just flutters every time I hear that. The fact that I can give these families beautiful portraits of their everyday life for them to remember and pass on for years to come, is truly the sole reasoning I do what I do. 

Memories are priceless. Prints, canvas, photo books, all of it..... Print your memories. Whether it is an iPhone snap or one from a camera you've had for a few years now... PRINT them! Your kids will thank you, your family will thank you, your great grandkids will thank you. A picture is worth a thousand words and sometimes a picture is all we have. 

 

Here are my favorites!!
