5 Years and Still Strong

About a week and a half ago, I got to shoot some wedding portraits for my wonderful new 2nd photographer Kristy Johnson. It was so great driving out into a beautiful, hilly area in Franklin to shoot their session. The neat thing is they've been married now for 5 years, but wanted some new wedding photos to make up for some they didn't get when they had their ceremony. Kristy's husband, Derrick, is a race car driver in Nashville; he races at the fairground in Nashville. (Yes, he is in his racing suit in the photo.) They got married at the track and he drove her around for a victory lap at the end of the ceremony.

Derrick has been pretty successful with racing from the awards I could see hanging on his walls. Derrick and Kristy have been happily cruising along ever since that wonderful first ride as husband and wife, and they are still so sweet and flexible. We all laughed and had so much fun shooting. They still act like newlyweds after 5 years of marriage. That's a good reminder for all of us who have been married a while to treat each other with the same love and respect that we did before we married. Thanks Derrick and Kristy for asking me to come. I had a great time.
