I’ve been to Memphis, TN a few times to visit, but Elisa and Jerrad’s was the first wedding that I’ve gotten to photograph there.  I knew that while I was there I would have some delicious barbecue, but wasn’t quite sure where to take Elisa and Jerrad for their first look and portraits.  So I hopped on Google Maps Street View and “drove” around the city looking for cool spots.  The beautiful, colorful graffiti at Broad Ave Arts immediately stood out to me.

I knew that this was such a special place and I wanted to do something a little different for their first look.  So I created a stop motion video of them seeing each other for the first time on their wedding day.  I hope you enjoy the video and all the photographs of their beautiful wedding.  Join me in wishing them a very happy life together!

My nephew (aka the cutest kid in the entire world) was Elisa and Jerrad’s ringbearer so naturally he also took on double duty as my second shooter and helped me get some of the detail shots back at the Balinese Ballroom.
