kennedy inspired styled shoot at carnton plantation :: nashville wedding photographer

Last week, I had the pleasure of working once again with my one of my favorite Nashville-based wedding coordinators, Liz from CHIC Weddings and Events, on a Jackie O. inspired stylized wedding shoot I'd been dreaming of for months. MONTHS. It all started when I discovered this little number on Rent the Runway, and I just knew it was meant to be. (By the way, brides, this is a fantastic place to get a cute little rehearsal dinner wardrobe or a short and sassy white party dress for your reception). So when I found out I was going to be travelling back to Nashville for theFix, I called up Liz and she SO got my vision.

Carnton Plantation was so generous to allow us to use their beautiful venue (Leigh is awesome!), and we worked with an absolutely AMAZING team of folks to bring the shoot to life. So without further ado, I present to you what may very well be my #1 most favorite styled shoot to date...

how-to tuesday :: same-day slideshows :: greensboro wedding photographer

Okay... so bear with me, y'all. In keeping with my promise to myself to start video blogging this year (as seen on my 101 in 1001 list), I am posting my first ever video blog for all the photography world to see. You never really notice how terrible your accent is until you see yourself on video, and then, you are overcome with humiliation like you have never known.

(Also, please let it be noted that I am typing this post from a DELL laptop while I am in Nashville recouperating from yesterday's styled shoot at Carnton Plantation - watch out for that on the blog soon - and brimming with excitement for J*'s theFIX this evening... for those Apple groupies like me, you know what a sacrifice it is to use a PC)

But for the sake of sharing and learning, here is my low-budget make that no-budget video tutorial on how to easily create a same-day slideshow on your iPad to display at your clients' wedding receptions. In hopes that my embarrassment isn't in vain, here is today's How-To-Tuesday...

Apple iPad - $400

CF Card Reader for iPad+iPad2 - $35

Snapseed - $5

iPad Frame by The Rustic Poppy - $75 (Use code glessner25 to receive 25% off any frame)
