Amy & Jay's at home surprise wedding! {Nashville Wedding Photographer}

I did a sneak preview of Amy & Jay's wedding a few months ago, but really wanted to do a full blog post from the day. I can't tell you how much fun this wedding was and how different from any other wedding I've ever photographed. First, most of the guests didn't know it was a wedding at all! They all met at a local restaurant (Mo'Cara) where friends and family thought they were celebrating Amy's birthday.

Then in walks the groom (who was supposed to be out of town) and the couple announces that the group will be heading back to their house for the couple's wedding! And what a sweet, intimate wedding it was. The ceremony was officiated by Amy's dad, with ring bearer Andy the pup hanging out in the isle getting petted by everyone he walked by. It was such a meaningful ceremony and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Plus, the bride wore a fabulous black dress (as well as all the bridesmaids) and teal heals - how great is that!

I loved meeting and working with this great group of people - they made me feel SO welcomed!

Enjoy!

Meet Pi - East C.A.N. Adoptable Dogs {Nashville Dog Photographer}

Last, but certainly not least, is sweet Pi. Pi is a handsome big boy, and so gentle. You can see in his photo that he's in a foster home with this little Dachshund, Nathan, but what you can't see is that Nathan is an old guy with some health issues - and he and Pi are pretty tight. Pi is a super sweet, lovable guy. He loves kids, he is playful, loyal and cuddly.

He loves licking EVERYTHING.  He knows how to sit and is very food motivated which makes training very easy.  Pi is up to date on shots, neutered and HW negative.  To meet Pi, please contact East C.A.N. at info@eastcan.org.

Layla & Daphne - East C.A.N. Adoptables! {Nashville Dog Photographer}

I promised more pups and today we have two sweet ladies that really want to find their forever homes! First up today is Daphne! Daphne is a beautiful one year old blue brindle mix and weighs about 45 pounds (which I think is the perfect size!) She loves to play and run around, but also loves to snuggle when time for bed.  She even likes to get under the covers! 

Daphne is a people-pleaser and enthusiastically wags her tail when she sees her person.  In fact, her foster parents nick-named her “Wiggle-Butt.”  She is currently living with her foster parents’ two dogs, and is doing great, but she'd probably do best in a home without any cats. Daphne loves going for car rides and knows the commands sit, shake, and wait.  She will not eat until given permission.  She is house trained, spayed, and up-to-date with vetting.

Next is sweet Layla. Layla was SO good during our photo shoot. She just posed and posed some more for me! Layla is a mellow girl and is only 35 pounds, so she's a pretty small gal. Layla is doing great in her foster home and recently hung out with her foster's 9 and 10 year old cousins and loved them! I just love her little serious face.  She is about 2 and ½ years old. She loves to play, go on walks and is a huge cuddle bug. She is terrific in the car and is housebroken!

If you are interested in meeting Daphne or Layla (or any of the pups I've been blogging this week!) please email info@eastcan.org or go ahead and fill out the application on East C.A.N.'s website!

Here's DAPHNE!

and LAYLA!
