Welcome Get Shot By Tate!
Since you MUST know about me...... I'll talk about what kind of photographer I am. I'm the kid who hated traditional crap. I hated the concept of doing wedding photography. I wanted to do high fashion and naked people - and that WAS IT. Fast Forward to ten + years later....... I'm doing weddings, naked people (but it's always tasteful..... or at least I think it is) and I do SOME traditional stuff. I like to think my traditional stuff is twisted. Ok, it's not traditional. Call it what you want to call it, but I don't like the WORD - traditional. My wife does. She's twisted traditional. My work is my work. I don't like rules. It's hard for me to play by the rules when I'm doing photography. I think that's what keeps it so fun for me. I tell the parents of my senior shoots that I dislike cap and gown shots (was I supposed to do that?) but I still do them because I know they love those. ;-) I think you get the drift of what kind of photographer I am. I may think I'm way more radical than I am, but let me think I'm just ubercool and not traditional. Okay?

Sarah and I finally designed and got some new business cards ordered! We decided to stick with 4by6.com since we love how their satin cards feel.

Check out the design! (I'm so glad I got Kerri to do my logo design two years ago! I love it)

I met Nancie when I shot Angie and Chris's wedding last year because she was the hairdresser for Angie. We kept in touch to schedule her twin daughter's senior portraits this year - and they are Jennifer & Stephanie Jones! What a beautiful set of girls - their photos are nothing but stunning! 

Congrats to the two of you - Jennifer & Stephanie! Thank you Nancie, for keeping me in mind for their senior photos!!!

Jennifer & Stephanie Jones

Jennifer contacted me in January of THIS year and asked if I'd be available for her wedding on February 27th..... of THIS year!!!?!? Crazy girl.

I was! So - I ended up being her and Bradley's wedding photographer and had a blast with them. They were pretty informal about everything. I was shooting Jennifer's bridals before Bradley had arrived (to do their portraits before the ceremony) and he just casually walked up to her and they both just had these huge gleaming smiles looking at each other on their wedding day..... which was like any other day to them. That's some of the best clients a photographer can get - a bride and groom who are so chill to the max. I felt like I was a friend hanging out and so happened to have a camera on me.

Love it! This is my first wedding gig of 2010 as well.

This was held at The Lakehouse in Baton Rouge and it was my first time shooting a wedding/reception there. The people were very friendly and easy to work with! The wedding was short and sweet, and the reception lasted all night. Jennifer and Bradley are evidently loved by many and they chatted/danced/hugged all night long.

Thank you Bradley & Jennifer Tant!!!!!!!!!!!!
