I just wanted to say congrats to my friend Ashley!!!!!! OMG! Her boyfriend of 3 years asked her to marry him. Obviously, she said yes. They don't know of any details yet, but they're not the type of people who stress things like that too much. I'm looking forward to helping her get things planned right. I'll prob share some of that stuff here too =P

I was looking around today and found another useful looking blog that provides Nashville wedding tips.

The Nashville Wedding Scene

There are a lot of fun blogs and sites that cover the Nashville wedding scene, but one of my favorites is Ashley's Bridal Guide. Her blog is a lot of fun to read and I really enjoy. Recently she published her A-List with some of the best wedding vendors in the Nashville Area. So if you're looking for a wedding planner or a wedding venue here in Nashville, you should really check out ashleysbrideguide.com.

Some other cool things I found this week was this great wedding video of a wedding here in Nashville. I love the music used in it and you should check out the Nashville wedding photographers responsible for it.

Picking a Wedding Photographer Tips

Selecting a wedding photographer can be a challenging choice. There are many things to consider when looking at different Nashville wedding photographers. Selecting a photographer who will capture you and your significant other's day you like you want, is very important. Not only should you look at their work, but consider how well you relate with them. I'm a firm believer that passion and love and be illustrated in one's work.

The first factor to consider is the photographer's experience level. Is this a hobby of theirs, or something they're really passionate about and do for a living. Next, consider their style. You'll hear phrases like photojournalistic, classic, and even candid. Take some time looking at their portfolio to get an idea of their photography style.

There are a lot of great photographers in Nashville, but there are some shady characters too. Ask around and get an idea of your photographer's reputation. It is important to find an ethical and truthful photographer to work with.

Although everyone hates discussion money, your photographer's price is a key selling point. As I mentioned in a previous post, it is important to find a photographer that fits your budget. It is a trade off of what you want, vs what you can afford. You also need to consider other business aspect like delivery and a contract. Do you need to sign a contract and how are you required to pay. Spend extra time on this and ask around for advice.

Finding the right photography can be a task, but there are many great photographers here in Nashville, which you can use. I took a long time to decide, but I was really happy the the photographers I picked.
