Old Car City USA Wedding Portraits - Katie & Adam

I first met Katie & Adam when we got together earlier this year to do their engagement photos. When we first talked Katie let me know that they wanted UNIQUE sessions for both their engagement photos and then again, for a special wedding portrait session because their wedding would be out of town and these would be their big wedding photos. I was thrilled to plan something special and with their engagement, we got together with Half Moon Ambassadors and did their engagement photos with Stark, a wolf dog. For their wedding portraits, we tried to top it.

Old Car City USA is located outside of Atlanta, in White Georgia. It's such an amazing location and is the oldest antique car junkyard, but that doesn't even begin to cover the things you'll see there. It was such a cool place to do something like wedding photos. We did a mix of digital work and film for their session.

I hope that you enjoy these shots. If you're interested in working with me, feel free to send us a message. We are located in the Chattanooga/Cleveland, TN area and we love to do unique sessions to capture your special moments.

Chattanooga Engagement Session - Mandy & Justin - TRD Photography

I've known Mandy since she did a session with me way back in 2010. Over the years we've become great friends, and had many a lunches planning shoots at Famous Daves here in Chattanooga. I'll never forget the light she had in her eyes when she started telling me about this new guy in her life, Justin. I remember thinking to myself after that first talk that she had definitely found a great guy and a hunch that this one was it for her. Fast forward a few years and I'm honored to have gotten the opportunity to do their engagement session.

The day started out as a fall, crisp morning in downtown Chattanooga.

Anyone that knows Mandy, knows she is not serious about three quarters of the time, and Justin told me he hates getting his photo taken with a passion. They quickly got down to just being themselves, and "kind of" forgetting that I was there. Well as much as was possible. :)

After shooting briefly on and around the Choo Choo, and then the Walnut St Bridge, we made our way over into Coolidge Park. The fall colors were almost gone, but we found a few colorful leaves scattered around here and there.

I am so happy for Mandy & Justin. I cannot wait to be a part of their wedding and I wish them a great 2016 and onward into the rest of their lives....

Chattanooga Choo-Choo Wedding - Mary & Dean's Big Day.

On November 7th, Mary & Dean Dial met at the historic Chattanooga Choo-Choo to tie the knot. With Christmas just around the corner, and Halloween barely in the rear view mirror, the Choo-Choo made a gorgeous backdrop to the days festivities. From a rainy day in Chattanooga, to horror themed Hello Kitty tables, and great times in between, it was a lovely day to see these amazing people celebrate their love and dedicate their lives to one another... I was honored to be a part of this beautiful day.

Mandy & Justin - A Film Engagement Session

I first met Mandy back in 2010 when she booked a session with me and she's been one of my best friends since. I was honored when I was booked to do an engagement session with her and her fiance, Justin. In my meeting, she expressed an interest in my film work, so on top of their regular engagement photos, we shot a partial roll of film as well.

We began the morning, bright and early, outside of the Chattanooga Choo-Choo. The first place that Justin had told her that he loved her was on a train, so we thought it the perfect place to begin.

From the Choo-Choo, we headed towards the Tennessee River and Coolidge Park. After walking across the bridge and dodging joggers and bicycles, we finished up their film photos with the next couple of photographs.

It was such a pleasure getting to shoot some film with Mandy & Justin, as well as doing the majority of their shoot with digital. Film work and Digital definitely have their own attributes. What I personally love about film is the depth, but also the perfect imperfectness. It's gritty, it's real. I hope to do more film work with couples in the near future. As for Justin & Mandy's other engagement photos, keep an eye out. :)
