jason+raquel

A Walk in the Park, A Courtyard Celebration and A First Dance Not to be Forgotten…
Harry and I met Jason earlier this year while shooting Straight No Chaser at TPAC. The lovely Ms. Dara Carson, Marketing Manager for TPAC and friend of Jason, told us of his lovely girlfriend, Raquel. Dara’s words: "supermodel gorgeous"… Dara does not exaggerate…

Jason is a concert promoter and owner of Sherpa Concerts, based in Nashville. Raquel, in addition to her supermodel gorgeousness, is a data analyst with Vanderbilt… beauty and brains…

To our delight and honor Raquel contacted us a few months later to discuss their upcoming wedding.

The day of the wedding, we all met on the campus of Vanderbilt in a sweet little section of historic buildings and glorious green space. We had one quick hour of shooting and then off to the wedding venue for family shots before the ceremony.





In front of the swing in the courtyard of their lovely neighborhood cafĂ©, Jason and Raquel exchanged vows with their closest family members present to celebrate with them.




After the ceremony, champagne and hugs all around, the family enjoyed a lovely dinner just steps away from that courtyard swing.



Did I mention that they are really fun people, too?


But this story doesn’t end here…


Twenty-four hours later Jason and Raquel greeted friends, colleagues and family for a celebration party and their first dance as husband and wife; which called for some last minute practice…




The dance that followed… the Tango…
 





Yes, you could say it was a total success… ;)


Jason and Raquel, thank you for a lovely weekend and for the honor of witnessing and documenting the beginning of your marriage.

May you have many, many more tangos…
Harry and Karan
