Roddy and Fiona – August 12, 2010

Matt Dunmore Photography — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 02:09:27 +0000

I was photographing Roddy and Fiona in a field of barley overlooking one of the most beautiful valley’s I have seen when I realized I could shoot weddings in Scotland ANY TIME someone wanted me to :) Scotland was amazing and I would be more than happy to go back!

Roddy and I met about 4 years ago while he was in Chattanooga and have been internet friends ever since. I was pretty excited when he called me earlier this year to see if I was interested in shooting his wedding in Scotland. What a great opportunity. My answer was of course I will photograph your wedding… it would be my honor. So long story short after a bunch of planning and some talking on skype I was on an overnight flight from Atlanta to London.

The wedding was on a Thursday and my day started with Roddy and his guys for breakfast. Then I hung out with Fiona for a while before heading to the church. It was a beautiful old church in Dingwall. Then the reception was at an old victorian spa in Strathpeffer. Once the band got going I dont think there was anyone sitting down the rest of the night. I am also pretty sure that nobody had any energy left after dancing like they did the whole night! All in all it was a great wedding and awesome adventure! Thanks for giving me the oppurtunity Roddy and Fiona! I wish you all the best!

Adam and Emily – July 25, 2010

Matt Dunmore Photography — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 19:24:54 +0000

The day started at the Hunter shortly before Adam and Emily signed their kettubah (Jewish marriage contract). It was a fairly quick and intimate ceremony on the second floor terrace. Then they greeted their guests and prepared themselves for the wedding ceremony all while a Dor L’Dor (a fantastic Klezmer band) played in the background.

The reception was full of traditional Jewish dancing and fun. What a great day and a really fun couple. Make sure to admire that hand crafted chuppah that Emily’s dad designed and built. It was pretty spectacular. Thanks again for letting me be part of your wedding day guys!

Baby Pryce – 1 Year

Matt Dunmore Photography — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 04:31:47 +0000

I met Pryce back in October when he was about 6 months old… now he is a year old and he has grown alot. I am always amazed to see children grow physically and in their personalities. Pryce has done both and was a lot of fun. We read books, played with toys, watched some Yo Gaba Gaba, swam and took a bath. Thanks for having me out guys and congratulations on such a great little guy!

Kenny and Katherine – May 29, 2010

Matt Dunmore Photography — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 00:57:15 +0000

I knew they would have a great wedding day after our engagement session back in November. Started at one of my very favorite salons, Hair a Go Go. Then the girls went to the church to finish their preparations. I caught up with Kenny at the church where in typical guy fashion was ready in minutes :) They had a very personal ceremony with Kenny’s grandfather officiating. Then it was off to Chester Frost Park Pavilion for the reception.

Thanks for letting me be part of your wedding guys. It was my honor.

Willem takes a bath

Matt Dunmore Photography — Sun, 23 May 2010 05:11:53 +0000

Willem always has a good time in the bath. But lately he has had a little trouble keeping the water INSIDE the tub. I had to take away his big soft cup in trade for this makeshift tiny cup (medicine bottle). He has taken to pouring water over his head and face and laughing hysterically.

John and Kelly – May 1, 2010

Matt Dunmore Photography — Sun, 16 May 2010 20:41:03 +0000

Another great Chattanooga wedding at the beautiful Hunter Museum! Kelly and John we determined to have fun and make a great day even if it looked as if the skies were going to unleash their fury at any moment. If I am not mistaken it only rained a few drops all day. Just enough to qualify them for the legended good luck it is supposed to bring :)

Our day started at Kelly’s aunt and uncle’s house for a luncheon. It was beautiful out there and I could tell it was going to be a good day. Then to Hair a Go Go for hair and makeup. Kristen did a great job as usual. Then it was off to The Hunter Museum of Art for the rest of the day. The place looked great and everything went off without a hitch. Kelly had some of my favorite wedding vendors there too :) Congratulations guys and thanks for letting me be part.

Donna the Buffalo – Rhythm & Brews

Matt Dunmore Photography — Fri, 07 May 2010 22:45:17 +0000

I have been a huge fan of Donna the Buffalo since about 1997 when I first heard them on WYCE in Grand Rapids, MI. WYCE liked Donna and played them a good bit. They played GR a few times while I lived there but I had never seen them live before last night. It was awesome. They played a few of my absolute favorites :)

Here are a couple pics.

Ryan and Erin – April 24, 2010

Matt Dunmore Photography — Tue, 04 May 2010 04:26:09 +0000

I was a little relieved when Ryan called me in the morning to tell me that they had rented a tent to have the wedding under since it was raining. What I had not planned on was that their venue was literally in the clouds on Lookout Mountain. There is a first for everything.

They had the ceremony in the backyard of their home in Lookout Mountain, TN. Which is across from the original venue… Point Park. The reception was at St John’s downtown Chattanooga. I had not been to St John’s before and I have to say it lived up to ALL of the good things I have heard about it over the years.

Congratulations guys. I am glad I could be there with you to celebrate!

Ethan – Senior Photos

Matt Dunmore Photography — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 22:32:15 +0000

I shot these senior photos almost a year ago. I cant believe it has been that long and I never blogged them! Anyway this is my cousin Ethan last summer while we were on vacation out in Washington.

Here are few of my favorites.

John and Jodie – February 28, 2010

Matt Dunmore Photography — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 21:05:42 +0000

I met John on Flickr several years ago maybe even before I was even a wedding photographer and we have been in contact ever since. I was so happy when he called to get some pricing from me. Then I got an email from Jodie about a date much sooner ;) I am glad it all worked out cause they are a great couple and their friends are just as great.

Their wedding and reception both took place at The Gallery in Red Bank, TN. Beautiful art gallery at the foot of Signal Mountain. All in all it was a great day and I am glad I was able to be part of it. Congratulations guys!
