The Perfect Back Drop for your Wedding (or special event) Photos

 

I read somewhere that a wedding photo is more than just a picture, it's a Promise, a Memory, Passion, Joy and Love all captured in one moment.

 

Wedding photos have come a long way and they are no longer just stiff family photos taken at the church; they portray the theme of the wedding and the couple themselves.

 

Before you even meet with photographers, it's a good idea to make a check list of photos you'll want, such as groups of family and friends.  You may also have some fun ideas, like this jumping wedding party.

The list will help your conversation with the photographer and help you pick the right one.

 There are many good checklists on bridal websites or in planning books. Make sure you consider unique shoots with different back grounds.

 

Here at Tennessee Gardens we have a variety of different back drops for your photos (visit our website to see some examples). 

 

We just created a new feature in our garden that is sure to become a favorite photo spot.  It's a 6 foot water fall that flows into the pond. Along with the pond/water fall, we have a bridge that makes a great place for tiered wedding photos, the gazebo, a three tier fountain, a rose arch and several others.  We've even had couples go out onto the old railroad tracks behind Tennessee Gardens for unique photos.

 

  

Hope you've gotten a few ideas and tips for making you wedding photos truly special.
