End of Weddings for Tim Dennis Photography

2010-10-10T18:04:00.002-04:00

It is with mixed emotions that Jessie and I are announcing that 2010 will be our last year shooting weddings. We have had so much fun over the past 5 years getting to spend time with so many great people during their wonderful wedding days, and we feel truly blessed to have been able to be a part of it. However, with new priorities and responsibilities in our lives, we have decided that the wedding photography must come to an end. Thank you to all of our wonderful clients, you have been great!

I will still continue my passion for nature and wildlife photography and hopefully be able to do a little more of that going forward. The main Tim Dennis Photography website will eventually be switched over to feature that type of photography, and if you are ever in need of some wall art for your home (and you like one of my pictures), please shoot me an email.

Thanks again to everyone we have met along the way!

Sabrina and Justin - Charlottesville, VA

2010-10-10T17:54:00.002-04:00

This was a very fun wedding at a beautiful vineyard near Charlottesville, VA. Since wine is one of my hobbies, I had a particularly good time!

Rebecca and Tim - Charlotte, NC

2010-10-10T16:52:00.002-04:00

Ashley and Seth - Charlotte, NC

2010-05-23T21:25:00.002-04:00

A beautiful day...a beautiful bride...a beautiful wedding. Don't need to say much else.

Sarah and Jason - Augusta, GA

2010-04-11T21:28:00.000-04:00

This past wedding was very special to Jessie and myself. Sarah and Jason were close college friends and we were able to watch their relationship grow over the years. When they got engaged, Sarah asked Jessie to be a bridesmaid in addition to me taking the pictures. With Jessie in the wedding party, she and I were able to capture each little part of the day on a personal level. While it had iced in Augusta only days before, Sarah and Jason enjoyed beautiful early Spring weather on their wedding day. Sarah’s home church was the perfect setting for the ceremony before the party got started at the North Augusta Municipal building. The details definitely came together for Sarah and Jason to make this a wonderful wedding day.

Sabrina and Justin - Engagement

2010-01-17T09:38:00.002-05:00

I was reminded this week from a former bride that we shot for that I have done a terrible job of posting new things on my blog lately. This is partly by intention, as we are taking a few months off this winter. However, we are getting started back again in March and have a full spring and summer booked already. So I promise there will be more up here in the coming months.

Sabrina and Justin are old college friends who are getting married in Virginia in May, and we shot their engagement pictures in Atlanta back in the fall. The timing was planned well and we got some nice colors in the leaves which is why fall is my favorite time to shoot.

Ashely and Seth - Engagement

2010-01-17T09:33:00.003-05:00

We shot these with Seth and Ashley a few months ago here in Charlotte, but I never put any up on the blog. Here are a few...

Ann and Ryan - Charlotte, NC

2009-08-27T18:37:00.003-04:00

After the ceremony at a lovely church in Charlotte, we headed up to The Point, an exclusive lake club on Lake Norman. Ann and Ryan had a fun reception over-looking a peaceful cove on the lake and we were able to get some gorgeous pictures of the two of them on the dock right before the sun dropped over the trees.

Kristin and Ray - Atlanta, GA

2009-06-12T14:43:00.004-04:00

Jessie and I headed back to Atlanta to photograph Kristin and Ray's wedding. Ray is a fraternity brother of mine and had been dating Kristin for as long as I knew them. They are an awesome couple and we were so glad that we could be there to capture the day that had been years in the making. Kristin dreamed of a stylish down-town Atlanta wedding that still had all of the special touches of home. They decided on having the ceremony at Atlanta First United Methodist Church where Kristin's home minister performed the ceremony, and the reception at Callanwolde Fine Art center. Even though the weather forecast called for rain all day, the sun came out and allowed us to get some great shots of the couple and their wedding party in front of the beautiful church. All of the details came together for a wonderful time of celebrating Kristin and Ray's special day.

Katie and David - Alpharetta, GA

2009-06-05T18:12:00.003-04:00

We had the privileged of shooting Katie and David's wedding (Katie being a fellow alum of Georgia Tech!) at the beautiful Country Club of the South last month. They had probably one of the most fun receptions we have been to in a long time, with an excellent southern rock band that was a blast to listen to. Katie was also very lucky to have her sister and maid of honor Ashley, who did an outstanding job of planning and coordinating the day, which took a lot of the normal stress off the bride and allowed her and David to just enjoy their day. We were very glad to be a part of it all!

Kristin's Bridals - Callanwolde

2009-05-25T15:14:00.003-04:00

Callanwolde is a fine arts center in midtown Atlanta, and the location of Kristin's wedding reception. So, she decided to have her bridal portraits taken there. Very cool place...here are a few.

Katie and David - Engagement

2009-05-25T15:10:00.001-04:00

Here are a few from Katie and David's engagement pictures taken at the Country Club of the South in Alpharetta, GA.

Susanna and Kenny - Dahlonega, GA

2009-05-12T21:01:00.003-04:00

Susanna and Kenny’s wedding was very special in many different ways. To start, The Montaluce Winery in Dahlonega, GA was a beautiful setting for this spring wedding. But what made this occasion more unique was that the groom was the twin brother of the groom from the first wedding we ever photographed and the wedding planner, Kymberly Purvis (Over the Threshold), was the wedding coordinator for me and Jessie’s wedding a year ago. A lot of familiar faces made this day enjoyable, and the nature theme along with a beautiful couple made for some great pictures.

Rebecca and Barrett - Charlotte, NC

2009-03-22T17:27:00.005-04:00

Rebecca and Barrett's wedding was wedged in between the weekend of snow and the weekend of solid rain in early March, but somehow they got the weekend of sunny and 75 degrees. A long day of preparation and anticipation led to an intimate ceremony at the Belk Chapel followed by an exciting party at the Roof with a View (a very cool event location at the top of a building on the southwest side of Uptown Charlotte with an excellent view). After the ceremony we were so fortunate to get about 15 minutes of incredible light to get some awesome shots of the happy couple right after they said their vows.

We also had the pleasure of working with Darin from Cinematrimony. He and his team take a very creative approach to wedding videography with a cinematic twist, and they were a pleasure to work with. We are very anxious to see the finished product. Also, all the reception decorations and catering was done by Best Impressions Caterers. The place looked awesome and the food was wonderful!

Rebecca's Bridals - Duke Mansion

2009-01-28T20:30:00.003-05:00

Now that we are starting to get acclimated to Charlotte, we are finding out some of the photo "hot spots". The Duke Mansion seems to be one of those spots and was a great location to shoot Rebecca's bridal portraits. The only downside was that is was right at freezing (32 degrees) during the shoot, and at one point Rebecca's hands actually turned purple! The downside to shooting in January.

2009 Bridal Showcase - Charlotte, NC

2009-01-20T17:57:00.003-05:00

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth at the Bridal Showcase on January 25. We had a blast and met so many great people!

Callie and Chris - Spartenburg, SC

2009-01-17T18:23:00.005-05:00

Two days after Christmas, as if the holidays weren't hectic enough! But, Callie pulled it off and had a very nice wedding and fun reception after at Cleveland Park in Spartenburg, SC. There was good food and drinks, a warm fireplace, and a Christmas tree!

Persida and Josh - Hickory, NC

2009-01-17T18:20:00.005-05:00

There is a first time for everything, and this was our first ceremony where not one word of English was spoken. Persida and Josh (as well as their family and friends) are Romanian, and Jessie and I enjoyed getting the chance to experience a little different culture. Everyone was so nice and we had a great time!

Susanna and Kenny - Engagement

2009-01-07T21:51:00.003-05:00

We drove all the way back to Atlanta this past weekend to shoot the engagement pictures of Susanna and Kenny. Kenny was actually the best man (and twin brother of the groom) of the very first wedding I ever did. He and his brother are both awesome guys and very fun to be around!

When we got up Saturday morning to do the shoot, it was not exactly ideal conditions. Rainy, dreary, foggy, and very wet. However we said we at least give it a shot since we had come all the way to Atlanta. Turns out that the fog over the pond we were shooting at made for some really cool looking shots, and I think we were all very pleasantly surprised with the resulting images!

Meredith and Brent - Clinton, SC

2008-11-24T22:21:00.003-05:00

I always enjoy getting to see old friends, and since Brent was a fraternity brother of mine back at Georgia Tech, I got to catch up with him and a bunch of friends from school at his wedding. We went down to the small town of Clinton, SC this time, and got a beautiful yet extremely windy day! Meredith was a stunning and very sweet bride, and I am very happy that they let me be there to capture their wonderful day.

Kelly and Spencer - Greensboro, NC

2008-11-08T11:01:00.003-05:00

This was a very different wedding from what we are used to in that how laid back Kelly and Spencer were. Both being from the north east, they had a little different mentality than our typical southern bride and groom. That being said, they were a blast to photograph because they just wanted to have a party! The ceremony was held in their own backyard at their house in Greensboro, NC with a fun reception following at the Groome Inn nearby. All their family and friends came from out of town to enjoy this special day with them, and we were so glad to be a part of it!

Rebecca and Barrett - Engagement

2008-10-23T20:10:00.003-04:00

This was our first experience actually shooting in Charlotte. All of our work since we moved here has been out of town, so it was a nice change to just drive down the road to Freedom Park instead of down I-85 for 250 miles to Atlanta! Rebecca and Barrett were great and we all had a lot of fun at the shoot. Enjoy!

Ashlyn and Trey - Monroe, GA

2008-10-03T17:13:00.012-04:00

We were so excited about photographing Ashlyn and Trey’s wedding. We met the couple through another wedding we photographed and found out that they were living in the Charlotte area. In addition to being their wedding photographers, we have become friends over the past few months and are so thankful for their friendship. From giving Jessie and I a place to stay when we were looking for houses to inviting us to use their pool, Ashlyn and Trey have been amazing. We were so happy that they had a perfect day for their outdoor wedding. The sky was blue, the air was cool, and the whole day was just as Ashlyn had planned. The ceremony and reception were held at a historic house in Monroe, GA called the Van Horne Manor. The place was beautiful both inside and out and helped create some great pictures.

Rachel and Eric - Nashville, TN

2008-09-15T16:35:00.001-04:00

Jessie and I got the pleasure of photographing my cousin's wedding in Nashville, TN. Rachel and Eric had their wedding ceremony at our grandparents church, which is also where my parents got married 25 years ago. Following the ceremony, the party began at the Gaylord Springs golf club. The reception site had so much to offer including a beautiful ballroom, golf course views, and excellent food. Rachel and Eric also had a great band that really kept the party rolling. Towards the end of the night, we were able to take the couple out to the course to get some neat night shots with the club in the background. It was a wonderful weekend of fun, family, and photography!

Katie and Jeremy - Thomson, GA

2008-09-04T18:31:00.007-04:00

Katie and Jeremy have been such a wonderful couple to work with. We started with engagement pictures at Berry College, then had a beautiful bridal session with Katie in her home town, and then headed to First Baptist Thomson for the big wedding! They were both so relaxed and fun on the wedding day which made our job very enjoyable. They had a very special ceremony performed by Katie brother and then spent time visiting with family and friends at the reception. We were able to capture some of the great emotions of the day and had a wonderful time doing it.

Meredith and Brent - Engagement

2008-09-04T18:00:00.003-04:00

Jessie and I had a fun day trip to Greenville, SC to shoot engagement pictures for Meredith and Brent. Meredith, who's from the city, chose Falls Park in downtown Greenville for the session. The park had so much to offer for an engagement session: a waterfall, rocks, a neat bridge, and beautiful gardens. We spent the afternoon enjoying the park and having fun with with the happy couple.

Nicole and Terry - Jamaica

2008-08-03T00:14:00.006-04:00

So this post is very late...but when Jessie and I were on our honeymoon in Jamaica back in June we met Terry and Nicole who came all the way down from Canada to do a destination wedding there with just the two of them. We saw them all dressed up right after their ceremony trying to take some pictures of themselves, so the wedding photographer inside me couldn't sit around and do nothing (even though I was suppose to be relaxing)! I asked Jessie to go to the room and get my cameras and I walked over to Terry and Nicole and introduced myself and asked if I could help them out.

They were thrilled that they weren't going to have to keep using the tripod and timer on their camera to get some wedding pictures, and I think they walked away with a little something better. Unfortunately, it started to rain right after I started shooting, but they weren't worried about their clothes so we kept right on. The clouds give the shots a little different feel, but I think they turned out pretty cool. Enjoy!

Ashlyn and Trey - Engagement

2008-07-30T18:11:00.001-04:00

Ashlyn and Trey are Jessie and I's newest friends up here in Charlotte. We met at a wedding last year and they were kind enough to open their home to us more than once when we were house hunting back in the spring. We were so happy when they asked us to shoot their upcoming wedding in September.

For the engagement shoot, we took a road trip up to Blowing Rock, NC, a quaint little North Carolina mountain town. It was a lovely day with gorgeous light and we had some nice backgrounds to work with. I just wish every shoot could be as picturesque as this one!

Elizabeth and Jonathan - Atlanta, GA

2008-07-28T20:06:00.003-04:00

I was very excited going into this wedding because I got to try out my new EF 35mm f/1.4L lens. It is everything it is cracked up to be and I absolutely love it. I am finding these days that I prefer shooting with two primes on my cameras more than anything else. The low light flexibility and image quality are so valuable.

Elizabeth and Jon had a great time celebrating their love that day. They were both so happy and everyone had an so much fun. It turns out that I was friends with Jon when we were both very little, but neither of us knew it until a mutual friend at the wedding told us about it. What a small world!

Abbey and Jake - Atlanta, GA

2008-07-11T10:50:00.004-04:00

June is such a wonderful time for weddings. Jessie and I had the pleasure of documenting another one of our good friends, Jake and his wife Abbey's wedding. The ceremony was held at St Luke's Presbyterian Church in Dunwoody which had beautiful grounds to work with. Right before portraits were about to begin, a rain storm came through the area and bottom fell out right over the church. While we thought there wasn't any chance for outdoor photos, the sky instantly cleared up for us and a stunning blue sky was left! Jake and Abbey ended up with a perfect day for their wedding. After the ceremony, the party began at Country Club of the South. This luxurious location was an ideal place to celebrate a wedding. When the tasty dinner came to a close, the dance floor opened up and was packed for the rest of the night. Abbey and Jake's family and friends definitely had a wonderful time and we were glad we were there to capture their emotions.

Kathryn and Brandon - Carrollton, GA

2008-07-01T19:35:00.005-04:00

Kathryn and Brandon were two of my best friends in college, and I felt honored that they asked my to be in there wedding AND photograph it. But as you can imagine, a couple of "you can't be in two places at one time" situations were bound to arise. That is where Lauren Wright enters. She is a wonderful photographer out of Atlanta who also went to Georgia Tech and shot some awesome images for me at this wedding!

The reception was held at the Sunset Hills Country Club in Carrollton, GA. Kathryn put a lot of emphasis on her flowers, and they really added vibrancy to her wedding. As you can see from her smiles and laughter, Kathryn lived out her dream wedding!

Elizabeth Chupp - Bridals

2008-06-27T19:16:00.002-04:00

We had a great time shooting the bridal portraits of Elizabeth Chupp, and had the help of her mom and sister Laura. Elizabeth has such a radiant smile that lights up her images. She was also blessed with awesome afternoon light that added a warm and soft look to her portraits.

We were looking for a place to do the pictures last minute, and Kymberly Purvis, the events coordinator at Dunwoody Country Club, agreed to let us come over there and do the shoot. The club is beautiful and so well taken care of, and Kymberly is a wonderful coordinator. It was actually the location of mine and Jessie's wedding just a few weeks ago!

Kristin and Chris - Nashville, TN

2008-06-21T18:31:00.006-04:00

This past weekend, Jessie and I were able to celebrate and photograph the second Dennis wedding of the summer. My cousin, Chris and wife Kristin had their wedding ceremony at the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Nashville, Tennessee. We were able to get some great shots in this beautiful Catholic church. The portraits beforehand and the reception took place at the University Club on the campus of Vanderbilt University. The bride and groom celebrated the night with their family and friends and departed just after midnight to a shower of sparklers.

Rachel Dennis Bridal Portraits

2008-06-20T18:17:00.000-04:00

I had the pleasure of shooting bridal pictures for my cousin, Rachel, in Nashville, TN. Rachel and her fiance Eric are having their wedding reception at the Springhouse country club in August, so we went over there to take her bridals. It was awesome weather and the shots of Rachel on the hill were some of my favorite bridals to date. Rachel and the club were both beautiful and we're greatly looking forward to the wedding.

Courtney and Kale - Pine Mountain, GA

2008-05-20T17:35:00.002-04:00

Courtney and Kale chose to have their wedding at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, GA. This fun, young couple had a perfect day for their outside ceremony and the pictures were full of life and color. We were able to take some time with the couple after the ceremony to take some beautiful portraits in the great afternoon light. Next, the party began at the Discovery center, where Julie and her team from Invision Event Consulting and Production did a wonderful job setting up and running the reception. They were great to work with and their hard work definitely paid off. The bridal party and guests had a wonderful time and partied all night long.

Beth and Mike - Madisonville, KY

2008-05-01T17:12:00.002-04:00

Jessie and I headed to Madisonville, Kentucky for the weekend to photograph the wedding of Beth and Mike, some Georgia Tech friends of ours. Beth was a beautiful bride and the two had their ceremony at her home church, First Baptist. For the reception, everyone headed to the country club for a night of good food, an awesome band, and lots of fun. Everyone had a great time on the dance floor and the pictures really show it!

Holly and Nate - Cumming, GA

2008-04-20T16:32:00.004-04:00

We have had the extreme pleasure of photographing the weddings for both Harding girls. The two sisters were such a delight to work with and each had their own unique personality and style to add to their weddings. Holly and Nate had their wedding on a beautiful April afternoon in Cumming, GA. The girls started by getting ready at the Harding house and then headed to First Redeemer church for the wedding. Holly's brightly colored flowers along with the bridesmaids dresses fit the fun personality of the girls and made for some great pictures. Holly and Nate were a joy to work with and we're glad we got to share their special day with them.

Katie Hughes Bridal Portraits

2008-04-14T14:04:00.002-04:00

Katie picked a wonderful location in Thomson, GA for her bridal portraits, and got a beautiful day as well. The flowers were blooming and the sun was shinning at the Thomas E. Watson house and we got some great shots.

Marilyn and Tom - Atlanta, GA

2008-04-02T13:37:00.001-04:00

Marilyn and Tom wanted to have as much fun as possible at their wedding, and I believe they accomplished that. Their reception was at the Dunwoody Country Club, one of my favorite places to shoot (and the location of me and Jessie's upcoming wedding). Great band, great food, happy people!

Holly and Nate E-Session

2008-03-25T16:35:00.000-04:00

These were shot at a mansion/horse stable in north Georgia on a beautiful day in March. The owners of the land have been kind enough to let me shoot there on several occasions and the pictures always turn out nice.

Katie and Skip - Atlanta, GA

2008-02-23T19:14:00.001-05:00

The day after Valentine's Day...what a perfect time for a wedding! I had the pleasure of working with Katie (a childhood friend of mine) and Skip on their special day. They enjoyed both the ceremony and reception at Flint Hill, a special events mansion in Norcross, GA.

Kristin and Chris E-Session

2008-02-13T01:20:00.004-05:00

This session was actually shot back in November, but I like the pictures so much I thought I would post a few. These were taken in Nashville, TN at the Centennial Park downtown. I had a great time taking advantage of the beautiful fall colors and perfect late afternoon light. It isn't too often that I find myself in such ideal conditions.

Kristy and Ted - Athens, GA

2008-02-13T01:05:00.005-05:00

We headed to Athens for Kristy and Ted's wedding which was at the State Botanical Gardens. There was snow predicted for the weekend; Atlanta got quite a bit, but it missed us in Athens. I'm not going to lie, I was a little disappointed. I had a picture in my mind of some fun shots in the snow, but we had a great time none the less and captured some wonderful images. Kristy was a great bride to work with, very fun and relaxed which definitely shows in her images. Enjoy!

Katie and Jeremy E-Session

2008-02-13T01:00:00.003-05:00

We went up to Berry College in Rome, GA to shoot an engagement session with Katie and Jeremy. They were great to be around and we got some fun shots. The Berry campus is beautiful with unique architecture and open fields filled with deer! It was quite a contrast from what I am used to on the city campus of Georgia Tech...

2007 Favorites (1st post)

2008-02-12T22:42:00.012-05:00

Welcome to the new TDP blog! We had a great and exciting year in 2007 and to get the blog started I thought I would post some of my favorites from the year. It was very hard going through the thousands of images and picking out just a few, but I hope you enjoy the ones I picked. I know Jessie and I certainly had a great time shooting them, and we had the please of working with some really great couples this year. Enjoy!
