We met Ryan & Sarah a few months ago and immediately liked them. They are such a fun and genuine couple and we all knew that we were the perfect fit for each other for their wedding day! Sarah & Ryan are getting married on August 14th and we could not be more excited about it! We headed out last week to shoot their engagement session and had an absolute blast with them. Their fun personalities were so apparent in this shoot, and we I loved watching the two of them together being goofy, having fun and just enjoying each other in such a genuine way.
These two are the sweetest couple we have met in a long time and we are super excited to share these images! We hit a few cool locations in Franklin, but wanted the shoot to really reflect their fun personalities, so we kept the rockstar lighting to a minimum and leaned more toward natural, candid shots. Love these guys!
You guy ROCK and we can’t wait to hang out with you again super soon!! Enjoy!!
Love this little sequence of them in the field…
Ryan had Sarah smiling and giggling for the entire shoot! It was so perfect! Talk about CUTE!
We love how Ryan & Sarah interact with each other and play around.
Ah snap!
Are these not the cutest boots ever?!
As the sun was finally setting we nailed this shot of the two of them with the beautiful sky!
Congrats you two!! You are the best and we cannot wait for your big day to get here!

We wanted to highlight an engagement shoot for the super cool Katie & Jason! We had a ton of fun with these two and can’t wait to shoot their wedding this July!
We had some fun ideas for this shoot and really wanted it to be all about them and keep things natural and candid. We found this awesome field in Franklin and as the sun was setting, headed out, jumped a fence (don’t tell anyone!) and got out there with the crickets! It was our favorite setup for the day, so we wanted to share some of those images!
Congrats you two and we can’t wait for your coming wedding!!
On our way out from the field, we just had to stop and shoot by this wall :)
KristinKatie and Jason are one of the most amazing couples that I have ever seen. They are made for each other, and these photos reflect that perfectly! Great work, guys! Beautiful photos!

We just shot the most awesome couple ever! Mark & Kelsey are getting married this July and we are stoked to be a part of their big day! :) We did their engagement shoot at Kelsey’s parents home, and wanted to put up a quick teaser of what is to come.
Their wedding is going to be at Belle-Meade Plantation and we are sure it will be amazing, just like these two. Their love for each-other is infectious and we can’t wait to spend more time with these guys!
Before the flood waters hit Nashville, we took one of our soon-to-wed couples downtown Nashville for their engagement shoot!
Nicole and Rhett knocked it outta the park and we love how they worked it – especially Nicole :) Their wedding is this coming weekend and we can’t wait!!!!!
Nicole and Rhett got engaged at Germantown, so we of course had to shoot there!
We can’t wait for your wedding THIS weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay!
We met Mallory & Aaron what seemed like forever ago and it was finally time for us and them to get their engagement shoot on! We had a really, really fun time just hanging out and shooting and capturing the cuteness and fun of these two.
To view the images once they become available online, CLICK HERE to sign Aaron & Mallory’s virtual guest book.
Aaron has a HUGE love of baseball so we thought we would incorporate that theme into the first part of their engagement shoot.
Then we headed off to some cool grassiness right behind our home as the golden hour hit… ahhhh love it. These guys are so cute!!!
Our last stop for the shoot was downtown Franklin, TN, rockin’ it out with some 580s and Westcott‘s new constant lighting – the SpiderLite.
Aaron & Mallory – You two rocked it and we had a blast! Can’t wait for your wedding day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LisaLove the pictures. Some of them looked like scenes straight from a movie!

We recently spent the afternoon with the amazingly cool Josh VanValkenburg & Jenny Gill out at Jenny’s family farm in Franklin shooting their engagement images. Jenny and Josh are a great couple, and even though it was a bit chilly that day day, you could hardly tell with these two! They were troopers and rocked it out with many laughs and great moments! We are really looking forward to shooting their wedding out at Jenny’s family home in Belle Meade this May and already feel like we have known these guys for much longer then just a month! PS – Gentlemen, for those of you struggling with ideas on how to pop the question… Josh is the man to go to! He has set the bar HIGH for all of his fellow man friends … :)
Check out some of our favorites from the shoot below!
Love the next two shots of these guys…
Josh bringing the heat!
Love this candid moment of the two of them twirling around. Ahh…..
These guys have such a natural presence in front of the camera it is almost too easy! :) Hottie!!
We grabbed a few shots in one of the old cabins on their property. Jenny and Josh have spent some time out here and this place means a lot to them.
You guys are awesome and we can’t wait to hang againg soon!! Movie night is calling our names! :)

Last week we shot the ever-so-cute couple Carlos & Jehan! We met Jehan awhile ago – she is a planner and also owns/runs Purified Trends, and her fiance Carlos is a Nashville fire fighter! (He won’t tell you himself, but he’s awesome at his job and has some cool stories about saving people’s lives…). We took them around town to spots that were special to them, and have a few images below to show you a sneak peek!
We started near where they live and got some fun close to home shots near the Village.
These guys wanted to make a go for it in the fountain so we were only happy to comply. We love it when couples want to do something a little different from the norm, and we can never resist shooting something fun!
Anna PociaskWrong website was posted on the last post...here is the new one!
AnnaGotta say the last shots are my fav because they are so fun and different! I love couples that just can be themselves...and ofcourse the two behind the camera made the pics look absolutely awesome!
Carlosahhhhh!!! These pictures are simply awesome! Wouldn't have been possible without Grayphotography. Your passion and love for your work is so evident. Much love!!
JehanYou guys are amazing! Carlos and I cannot thank you enough for the fantastic photos! We cannot wait to see the rest of them!!!
Inspired Eventsthanks for stopping by my blog! Your work is phenomenal!! I would love to share with my readers from time to time!!
StaceyBThese photos are great! I love how you took pictures at the fire house, it makes it more personal and special for the couple! And the fountain pictures are to die for! They look like stills from a movie!
MelissaFYou can tell it was a fun shoot--the firehouse, the fountain. Love them! Plus, I love her ring--so unique.
Last week we had the awesome honor to shoot (with our cameras) Eugene & Heather from 2Duce2 Wedding Videography. Heather & Eugene were wanting to update the images of themselves for their site and for some other things, so who else to call then us? : ) We absolutely love these guys and they are a fun and truly sincere couple (not to mention they always tend to boost up our self-esteem with their continuing compliments). If you have yet to meet this dynamic duo or have yet to check out their website and/or blog – then you must!
Enjoy some of the images of this downtown Nashville shoot!
You guys are the stinkin’ best!!!!!!! You totally rocked it.

We first met Chris & Holly over a year ago. They were engaged and planning their wedding for June 2009. The only downside to the bliss they were living in, was Chris was scheduled to be deployed a few short months later :(
Fast-forward to present day and Chris is back safe and sound and we can’t WAIT to be a part of their wedding! They have invited us out to their non-rehearsal dinner & celebration at the Nashville Sounds’ Stadium and we’re excited to meet their families, eat food, and of course enjoy the amazing fireworks at the end of the evening!!
We did their engagement session just a few short days ago and wanted to share a few of those shots with you in honor of their wedding on Saturday at Riverwood Mansion.
We love the local flowers here in Franklin, TN at this time of year!
Thank-you Chris for what you do for our country.
Looking forward to seeing you guys!!!!!!! Can’t wait for your wedding!!!
Judy Harper McMillianI love them all!!! Thank you Zak and Jody for capturing Holly and Chris's true personalities in this photo shoot! You are the best photographers I have ever seen and make it all so pleasant and happy - the way it should be!!!
