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?

I met Ashley and Chris when I shot her brother's wedding last year, or was it two years ago? Time just flies by way to fast! They were such a sweet couple and just bunches of fun - so I was thrilled when Ashley emailed me wanting to book me right away stat for their wedding this coming November. We're going to have so much fun.

This is the engagement session where I went out to downtown Baton Rouge to meet up with them and I FORGOT MY CAMERA! Yes, me, Tate Tullier.... of Tate Tullier Photography, forgot... people, I FORGOT MY CAMERA!?

FIRST. TIME. EVER.

Talk about weird. At first I was so embarrassed when I had to let them know I FORGOT my camera for their photo shoot. Sarah said that it was because I was so excited to meet up with them :D Sadly, when we turned around to go back to the house in Gonzales - I realized, more than anything else - I was just too busy. Way too busy. My mind at that time had 1,000 things going on (and it still does, but that day - it was just.... too much.....) - and I just kept telling myself over and over, "Ok, Tate... this is silly. Don't you EVER forget your camera again!" I think I was in a "shocked" state for that entire weekend over the fact that I FORGOT MY CAMERA. 

Back to Ashley & Chris - that hour we shot, I FORGOT THAT I FORGOT MY CAMERA EARLIER. :D They were nothing but EASY to shoot - they're both so photogenic, and I just can't wait until their wedding day. Beautiful peeps.

Thank you Ashley & Chris for having me do all these special shoots/the big day coming up. It's an honor....

AND I WON'T FORGET MY CAMERA ON YOUR WEDDING DAY. K?

I'm off to Miami tomorrow for the Lissie & Tim wedding festivities! They get hitched in the Miami area on Saturday and I'm looking so forward to it! Tim is from Louisiana himself so I'll be seeing a few "home" faces there too as well. I did an engagement shoot for them last year and Lissie just gave me a copy to have for my folio - check out how awesome it came out!

I'm also really excited because they got me a nonstop flight from New Orleans to their airport both ways! OMG. So awesome. It'll be like sitting down, but then by the time I buckle my airbelt - it'll be time to get up and get off. Rock and Roll.

Here's a teaser shot from the Rhode Island wedding I shot last weekend for Nat & Ally! We had so much fun and like I said on my fan page via Facebook - I love bride & groom (and wedding party peeps) clients who have a sense of humor. We got this amazing shot of them looking like a cult. I told them it reminded me of a scene right out of True Blood (and omg, it comes back for its third season THIS Sunday!!!!!!!!!).

Kharis:

I love them!!!!! Especially the third one from the top. I can tell that Julian is saying to me "What are you laughing at?!"

ADORABLE!

Buddy:

I literally said "Wow!" when I saw the very first one. That sums up my feelings about every single one of these. Fantastic as usual, but I must say I especially love the second one!

Tonya:

I love the pictures, Tate! We are so blessed to have your talent in our midst. I have a question. Why do some of your pictures have your logo and others do not? By the way.....I love your logo!

tatephoto:

I just created this entry as "one" - if you saved it, it would be saved AS shown, not separate photos. I was just playing around with a different format. Funny, Sarah said the same thing to me!

This is a flattering story. Brittany (@brittanymrogers) actually tweeted me last year and said she had been following other wedding photographers from around the states, and asked some if they knew any local (Louisiana) photographers with a similar style. My name came up by Matt Snelson (@mathieuphoto) who is based in Fullerton, California - hence the hookup. Thanks Matt!

We met at the house and hit it off. They get married in Baton Rouge on November 20th of this year so I'm excited about doing the big day!

Enjoy a few of my favorites from their engagement session we did last month in March.
