Southern Wedding – Nashville, TN

Once upon a time before my business was dog photography, I used to photograph weddings. Last month, I shot a beautiful wedding and wanted to share it with you! I still accept weddings on a very limited basis and after I heard about this one, I just couldn’t pass it up! Blair and Wade were married at the Historic Rosemont in Gallatin, TN on a nice fall day. The day was filled with southern details that could charm the hardest of hearts. Completely enchanting. (And all details were made by the bride!) There is something about being around a newly married couple … the love is absolutely contagious! Thank you Blair and Wade for choosing me to share in your day. I hope Morocco was adventurous and I look forward to seeing you soon!

Daschund mix – Pet Photographer

Meet Darcy! She was the winner of our National Dog Day contest. She is a long-haired daschund mix from Proverbs 12:10 rescue and is the muse of Raney and Keith. Darcy is quite a mischievous dog. My favorite story is that every Christmas she gets into the presents under the tree. And not just any presents – only the presents meant for dogs.:) Too funny! Enjoy these.

Adrian Hitt is a nationally recognized, award-winning dog photographer who creates modern, playful works of art. Her interest in dog photography is founded in her desire to celebrate and encourage the deep bond that develops between human and animal, parent and dog. In her free time, she photographs dogs awaiting adoption at local rescues and shelters. Her proudest moment? Spending everyday with the inspiration behind her career – Benny a charming -and perfect- lab mix rescue. Adrian lives in Nashville, Tennessee and travels nationwide to photograph America’s beloved pets.

Lauren - November 3, 2010 - 9:23 pm

Wow! What a photogenic family! Those pictures are adorable!!!

Jill - November 4, 2010 - 8:44 am

Love the pictures! You did a great job!

Aimee - November 4, 2010 - 12:23 pm

I loooove the first one. SO magical!! And Darcy is smiling in all the pictures. Beautiful!!

John/Betty Cronin - November 5, 2010 - 1:58 pm

Thanks for sharing – we loved them all. gm &pp

Gregg & Sue - November 7, 2010 - 6:38 pm

Wonderful photos! Darcy appears to be hamming it up – must have been a dog treat somewhere!

Lindsey - November 8, 2010 - 7:25 pm

Great shots!! Darcy is precious and very photogenic! I love the family picture!

Dog yoga and shower the animals

Here are a couple of ideas for this beautiful Saturday, November 6th:
Be here – The Brentwood Family YMCA and Mars Petcare will hold the first Nashville area Power of Pets program event. This new initiative celebrates the relationships between humans and pets. I love the mission of this program:
We love pets. Not only do pets create meaningful moments of joy for the people around them – interacting with pets delivers real, tangible benefits for individuals and communities. In turn, it is our responsibility to make the world a better place for the pets in our lives, by providing them with safe, healthy, loving homes; good healthcare and nutrition; and proper training and socialization. The bond between humans and their pets is unique and special, and we are dedicated to celebrating it through programs and partnerships that highlight the positive experience of having a pet.
This FREE event takes place from 11am-2pm and will include pet health screenings, dog yoga (how awesome is this?!), ZUMBA, contests, giveaways, and more great family-friendly activities.

Also on Saturday, our friends at New Leash on Life are holding the 1st Annual Shelter Shower for the Animals at their shelter in Lebanon from 1pm-4pm. There are so many showers –  Bridal Showers, Baby Showers, why not a Shelter Shower?! I think this is a great idea! They are in desperate need of towels, metal medium food/water bowls, Frontline for dogs, Revolution for cats, and Advantage Multi for both cats and dogs. This flyer has a great list of other items they are in need of. And did you know that New Leash on Life is registered at Bed, Bath & Beyond? (first name: New Leash, last name: On Life) Finger food and beverages will be served so definitely stop by and bring some gifts for our furry ones in need.

Cassie is the studio manager for Adrian Hitt Photography. She keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes and frequents the blog often with her tips on what’s going on in the dog world. In addition to her work here, Cassie freelances in the local music scene, volunteers with animal rescues and enjoys being outside with her pups. She lives in Nashville and is the proud parent of Jeffery, Ittey and Banjo – two rescue dogs and one awesome orange cat!

Best Dog Costume

I’m not big on dressing up dogs … except on Halloween. And this year, in my opinion, I think Benny gets best dog costume.:)

Benny is the youtube sensation Antoine Dodson! We love this guy. If you haven’t seen the videos you must… like right now. Here is the original interview and here is the remix of antoine dodson. Also, did you know he now sponsors a bed intruder app for your phone? Too funny. Fo’ real.

Let us know what you think of Benny’s costume. Hope your Halloween is filled with treats!
