Beautiful Little Grace

This is adorable little Grace Skates. I know her mom and dad (Sarah and Burney Skates) are so proud. I also know a few grandparents that are probably beaming over her. Angela and I were invited to the Gilbert home to meet miss Grace. We were able to use the awesome natural lighting that was steaming into their back porch. Grace is so cute. You have got to see this slide show. I showed it to Angela and I counted 7 ooh's and aahs. Thank you Sarah!

Adrienne and Jared's Engagement at Walnut Hill Farm - WOW!

Beasley Photography gets to visit some beautiful locations. Every now and then we get to see beauty that goes beyond our expectations. Two years ago, we traveled to Boston and visited Lakeview Pavilion and Cape Cod. Last year, Beasley Photography photographed two weddings in Callaway Gardens. This year, we were awed by Walnut Hill Farm, amazingly just down the road from us in Dalton, Ga.

Adrienne and Jared chose this location for their October wedding. They are so excited that their wedding is happening at Walnut Hill Farm (and rightfully so). I met Joe and Nanette Yarborough when I was there. They own the property and I must say they are two of the sweetest people you could ever meet. This place is gorgeous and I predict it will be THE outdoor wedding hotspot in a couple of years. The facilities are incredible. What struck me most was the Yarbrough's passion (obsession) for landscaping. You really need to see it to believe it. Joe and Nanette are in the process of converting their Llama farm to a venue for weddings, receptions, and group functions.

Marcus and Heather's Wedding Day at the Choo-Choo

I want to dedicate this blog to Marcus and Heather and also to the Tri-Community Fire department. It was great to see the whole department come out and support Marcus and Heather. I especially loved having the "BIG" green firetruck there.

I love to photograph weddings at the Chattanooga Choo-Choo. The gardens provide me with some of the most beautiful choices of photography backgrounds in the entire Chattanooga area. Not only do we have beauty there but we also get to use some of the back alleys and grundgy locations that are a walking distance away.

Heather was beautiful. She had this a little grin that she kept on all day. We want to thank her family for letting us capture this special event with our camera. I love the images of Heather getting ready in the bathroom at the Choo-Choo.

Ok, I'll say it, Marcus and his family are...well, crazy. I had to be shooting fast because they kept me busy. This is the second wedding that we photographed for the Kilgore family. It was great to see Breeland and Michelle and their beautiful children. It was also fun being with Sonny and Linda. They are so sweet and always make eveyone around them smile.


Tri-Community Fire Department



This is the groom's cake and Yes, the cake is real!
It was built by Mitzi Bush. It even had faux fire coming out of the top. You can reach Mitzi at myronroy@bellsouth.net.

CityScope Magazine - Annual Wedding Issue features Beasley Photography

Angela and I were extremely excited to be the featured photographer for this years Chattanooga CityScope Magazine's annual wedding edition. Beasley Photography was selected for the fourth time to host the cover and inside featured wedding story and photographs. It is quite an honor to have our prints displayed in this magazine. I am always pleased with the print quality and color that Cityscope magazine produces.

I also want to especially thank Jessica Tucker of Jessica Tucker Designs for her hard work and tallent. We love you Jessica!



This years cover girl is Mrs. Stacey Beardsley Rumsey. Stacey was married to Tim Rumsey on June 8th, 2008. Their ceremony took place at Collegedale Seventh-day Adventist Church. This bridal image of Stacey was taken at a friends home prior to the wedding day. Stacey is so beautiful and her smile is genuine. I am so glad that Cityscope Magazine chose this photo for the cover.





Mary Beth Breeden Sierra was featured on the inside of the magazine. She was chosen to introduce the wedding section of the magazine. Mary Beth was married to Mike Sierra on October 25th, 2008 at Dalton First United Methodist Church. Mary Beth has one of those "sparky" personalities. She always smiles. She and Mike were a complete joy to photograph. This shot was taken in the garden behind the church. I love her expression in this image.







The next section titled "Planning Your Perfect Wedding" featured an incredible moment from Dr. and Mrs. Brian Songer's beautiful Callaway Gardens wedding. Brian Songer and Natalie Quay were married on May 10th, 2008. I can't even begin to describe this amazing location combined with two incredible people. You really need to scroll down to their blog post and see the slide show. It's ironic that the section is titled "planning your perfect wedding" because this wedding was about as close as you can get to perfect. Beautiful Callaway gardens, rolling hills of purple flowers, passion, romance and fun. Brian and Natalies family were so much fun. You should have been there for the dancing at the reception!

Cityscope magazine wanted to add a section called "Pampering your Party". Danielle Dietz Scott and her entourage highlighted this section. Danielle Dietz and Zac Scott were married on May 17, 2008. The ceremony took place at UTC's Patten chapel. Their reception followed at Miller plaza in downtown Chattanooga. Danielle and Zach were so easy going. The whole day was a complete pleasure.

Jennifer and Ian Morrow were married on July 19, 2008 at UTC's Patten Chapel. Their reception followed that The Chattanoogan Hotel. This photo was used in a national ad campaign for H&H Color Labs Canvas Gallery wrap prints. We photographed Jennifer at the Bluff View Art District in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The photo was printed in Professional Photographer and Rangefinder Magazines. It was a natural choice for the ad.

Little man Jackson

This little guy was giving me faces and playing the whole time he was being photographed. Yes, and like most boys, he loved playing with our basketball and baseball. I might add that he has quite a throwing arm! Angela and I had to be on guard. We never knew when he was throwing the baseball at us. Thank you Darah for letting us take these photos of you and your little man.

Kim and Joe's January 31st Wedding

Angela and I had the pure joy of being at the wedding of Kim O'Kelley and Joe Wingate. We have known Kim's family for several years. I loved seeing Kim smiling all day. She was an amazing bride. Joe was his usual cool, calm, collected self. The day started at First Centenary Methodist Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee. In my opinion, I think that this church has the best stained glass alter background in the Chattanooga area. The reception was held in "The Vine", appropriately named church fellowship hall. After the wedding, Kim, Joe, Angela and I went to UTC's Patten Chapel for a few post wedding bride and groom photos. What a great day!

My beautiful niece Natalie

Our family reached another milestone this year. My niece - Natalie Childers is graduating from Ringgold High School. I just finished her coffee table album. She is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Her mom and dad (Tammie and Kent Childers) are very proud of her. Way to go Natalie!
