I got to photograph an awesome couple this past weekend. More to come.

A previously unpublished picture from Amanda and Jason’s engagement session.

The moment just before a kiss – whether it’s at a wedding or during a gorgeous sunset – is one of my favorite moments that exist in the entire world.

This was Lauren and Andre’s first visit to the Music City. Prior to arriving in Nashville they decided this is where they also wanted to do their engagement pictures – they emailed me and so here we are. I enjoyed spending this chilly afternoon with them as we hit up a couple of different spots prior to finishing up on Music Row (in front of Robert’s Western World actually). This awesome couple will be getting married in Canada later this year – Congratulations!

Someone I know recently said that the best light is bestowed upon windows. Even inside a 100 year old barn without any glass, I think this still holds true.
More engagement pictures of this wonderful couple coming soon.

I met an awesome couple last Saturday afternoon to do their engagement pictures. We spent several hours literally chasing the light around the city of Nashville on what was one of the nicest days yet this winter. Even after the sun went down we were fortuitous enough to have a such a great spot overlooking the city. Their wedding will be taking place soon in Austin, TX and I imagine it will be amazing. Congratulations Amanda and Jason!

I want to thank my previous clients for nominating me to receive the Bride’s Choice Award for 2011!

From Wedding Wire’s website: “Paul Rowland Photography stands among the top five percent of wedding professionals in the WeddingWire community, representing quality and service excellence within the wedding industry. Awards were given to the top wedding professionals across 20 service categories, from wedding venues to wedding photographers, and were based on the overall professional achievements throughout the past year.”

I had the privilege of serving as the wedding photographer for so many wonderful couples last year and am very thankful they liked my work enough to nominate me for this award.  I’m really looking forward to this year’s weddings — the first of which is coming at the beginning of March.
