Intimate winter wedding at Natchez Trace Church of Christ
Intimate winter wedding at Natchez Trace Church of Christ

There are two kinds of cold days – the kind that make you wish it were summer, and the kind that make you feel a little bit more alive just for breathing in the brisk air . Emily & Jonathan’s wedding day was the latter, the make-you-feel-alive kind. Inside, their church boasted rows of poinsettias, [...]

How much photography time do you need?
How much photography time do you need?

Most brides only experience with wedding photography prior to their own wedding, is as a guest at someone else’s.   So as a bride, how can you know what you need for what most people consider the most important day of their lives?  I’d like to help you answer one of the biggest questions you’ll have [...]

Michelle & Wes – Nashville Wedding Photography
Michelle & Wes – Nashville Wedding Photography

Plenty of good love stories end with the boy and the girl running off together.  This time, that’s how the story began.  Five years ago, Michelle and Wes eloped.  Wes was close to being deployed overseas, so before Uncle Sam could keep them apart, they tied the knot.   In celebration of their five years of [...]

Sarah & Josh- Summer Wedding Photography in Nashville, TN
Sarah & Josh- Summer Wedding Photography in Nashville, TN

Sarah and Josh are definitely made for each other. In the past year and a half that we’ve been photographing them together, we’ve seen proof of that. They just fit. I know I say something like this with every couple, but that’s because it’s so true. Every couple is so in love and as we [...]

New Blog Home
New Blog Home

Hey Guys! I’m sure you’ve been wondering about the “radio silence” for the past little while… well this is why!  I’ve been cookin’ up a new place for the Surreal Image Studios blog on the web.   It’s a little more us, a little easier of an address to remember (SurrealImageStudios.com/Blog) and hopefully a little prettier.   [...]

Don’t lose your date!

Whew! People, it has been a busy couple of weeks, post bridal show! With such a huge turnout (and it being a large show anyway) we have been kept on our toes the past couple of weeks – which has been wonderful.  That said our summer and fall (2010) dates are going fast, so make [...]

The Bridal Show, and The Booth (our new toy)!
The Bridal Show, and The Booth (our new toy)!

Hey Guys – It’s good to be back (online).  I’m really excited to tell you about our newest toy…The Booth, our BRAND NEW PHOTOBOOTH.  We got to show it off (play with it) at Weddings the Bridal Show this past Sunday.   And it was Awesome.  Here’s a shot of our entire display (The Booth on [...]

Looking both ways

First… HAPPY NEW YEAR!  It is minutes into 2010, it’s warm inside and puffing tiny icy dots of snow outside.  Chase is lighting a fire in the fireplace and I can smell the spicy aroma of the logs catching fire.  And it’s got me thinking about how great the past year has been (and hopefully [...]

Stephanie & Derek – Nashville Wedding Photography
Stephanie & Derek – Nashville Wedding Photography

It was the perfect day for a wedding – the temperature was just right, the sky was bright blue and full of huge fluffy clouds and Steph & Derek, who we’ve come to know and love over the past few months, had started their surprisingly anxiety-less preparations for their wedding day.  They were excited, happy [...]

My Wedding, a mere two years ago!

This week (Tuesday) was Chase and my second anniversary.  Every year (I can say that now, since there’s more than one) we have these little mini conversations while we are doing whatever mundane thing we are doing.  Were you a fly on the wall (in the car) you would have heard this as we were [...]

Stephanie & Derek | Nashville Engagement

Stephanie grew up here in the Nashville area.  She went off to college, started her career and found one heck of a guy. Now in just a few week she’ll be bringing the love of her life back to her home town to tie the knot! A couple weeks ago, Steph & Derek drove down [...]

I’m still here…

Guys – wow.  It’s been a terrible week!  I’ve got some sort of virus, and have been S-I-C-K since Tuesday.  Like, shivering with fever and burning up at the same time while coughing my head off and everything else sick.  So that’s why you haven’t seen hide-nor-hair (or is it hare?) of me.  I’m still [...]

PEZ…and the one thing every bride needs most (Aside from a great photographer)

I was tempted to try to explain how I got on this topic, so that you wouldn’t think that I’m a weirdo…but then I realize that ship has sailed! So in the spirit of good fun…on with the post! So… for the past week or so, every day when I take my shower I think [...]

Wanda’s Bridals

I often think to myself  “I need some more downtime!” or “Things are just so busy!”  Well today I have downtime, but it isn’t exactly what I’d imagined!  I’m home sick with some kind of stomach bug (for those with delicate sensibilities, I’ll leave it at that.) and to be quite honest, this kind of [...]

The next step

“What can we do next?” or “What’s the next step” There are a lot of questions that I ask regularly, but these two probably more than any others. I ask out of frustration. I ask out of a maniacal need to continue moving forward. I ask because I believe in where we are going and [...]

Sarah & Josh’s Engagement

Hey Guys! Looks like I’ve got some catching up to do on the blog here! If you want the quick re-cap in photo format, check out our Facebook page. We’ve been pretty busy the past few weeks with weddings, engagement sessions, bridal sessions and now we are in the process of getting ready for our [...]

Jessica & Shane’s Engagement

Congratulations to Jessica and Shane on their engagement! We all had a great time last weekend in our engagement session with them and got some really fun shots. The entire day before the shoot it looked like the bottom was going to fall out of the sky, but as soon as we got to the [...]
