Elegant and Timeless Photos Every Bit as Unique as You are!

Timeless wedding photographs are a wonderful investment that will remind you and your groom of your special day for years to come.  However, deciding on a photographer for wedding pictures is an important, yet sometimes difficult part of the planning process. It is imperative that the resulting prints are a worthy depiction of the couple themselves, as well as their own unique style. Taking the time to find a wonderful photographer is well worth the effort. A great option for brides getting married in the Mid-South is Tindall Farmer of Tindall Farmer photography. As a mother of three who specializes in natural light and on location photography, Tindall Farmer understands the deep inherent value of an unplanned situation. In her work, Tindall strives to capture the true essence of moments themselves, rather than relying on predetermined stereotypical poses and preplanned camera forced grins. She keeps her eye out for children dancing between dinner courses, laughter between friends and all of the
other little details that make a wedding truly memorable and unique.  Even her supposedly “formal” portraits of the bride and groom are thankfully absent of the stuffy attitude seen in many bridal photographs and exude the same simple elegance present in the rest of her work.
With fifteen years of experience within the fields of family, portraiture, and wedding Photography, Tindall believes that it is important to truly listen to her clients.  She lets her bride and grooms dictate the mood and tone her photographs take on in order to adequately capture their special day. She is more than willing to customize her services to cater to the individual vision each couple brings to their wedding. In addition to offering wedding photography around the Mid-South, Tindall Famer also takes stunning engagement session photographs and can travel to various locations for destination weddings. Her studio also offers custom made invitations, custom prints, and wedding albums featuring Tindall’s beautiful photography.  While her photography varies greatly based on the couples and the weddings themselves, all of her work is united through the unmistakable beauty and elegance each of her prints embodies.

Wedding Pictures Reimagined

Long after the last slow dance has ended and the bouquet has been tossed beautiful photographs serve as an invaluable connection to your wedding day.  Pictures are one of the only physical reminders of your special day so selecting a fantastic photographer is of utmost importance. Lyndsi Metz of Lyndsi Metz Photography began her career right here in Memphis while still an art student at University of Memphis.  Together, she and her husband specialize in portraiture, fine art, and wedding photography.  With an eye for color and form her photographs truly capture the moment in a beautiful unexpected way.  Her artistic background enables her to go beyond the surface of a scene and bring out details others would miss in the flurry of activity.  “I like to focus on the details of a wedding; the rings, the dress by itself, the patterns.  I feel like these are the things that give a wedding character and personality” Lyndsi says.  Without question, Lyndsi and her husband go the extra mile to ensure they get the perfect shot.  When fireworks happened to go off during a recent Memorial Day Riverboat wedding, they made sure to capture them as the background in pictures of the bride and groom.  “It was totally unplanned but I saw the moment and really felt like it added something extra to the photographs and when they came out it really did look great!” 
Her engagement photo work is equally stunning and is sure to capture your guests’ attention on save the date cards and reception table photo displays.  Lyndsi and her husband also offer a variety of mounting options for their photographs, ranging from traditional leather and silk bound albums to glossy novel sized photo books.  They can also create prints suitable for framing and picture collages.  At its core, Lyndsi Mets Photography strives to incorporate a fun, unique, and artistic edge to traditional wedding photography. Lyndsi’s photography truly stands out and the prints will be cherished mementos for years to come.  If a picture is worth a thousand words than a truly exceptional one, like the work Lyndsi provides for the couples she works with are worth more than words can ever express.

An Elegant Solution!

Selection of a certain color or pattern to work into various aspects of a wedding provides an excellent opportunity to showcase the unique tastes of the bride and groom.  Elegant Chair Solutions of Memphis, TN offers couples a fantastic way to incorporate personal style through the look and feel of a couple’s reception table and chairs linens.  Owner Shelia started the business a little over a year ago after encountering problems while attempting to decorate for her son’s prom in a simple, classy, affordable way. However, after seeing stretch chair covers used at a local event, she fell completely in love with their ability to make over a space as well as the many options adding sashes provided.  “I loved the affordable elegance of these chair covers and once I saw their ability to completely transform a room I knew they were something special” she explained.
 The company offers stretch chair covers in four colors, white, ivory, chocolate and black as well as two different styles of table cloths in corresponding colors.  While the chair covers may not be necessary for the furniture available in some spaces, their ability to dress up even the most utilitarian of chairs is truly amazing!  The overall look of the reception can then be completely customized with the addition of table overlays, runners, and chair sashes.  Each of these elements is available in many different fabrics and countless shades spanning all the colors of the rainbow.  The company currently carries them in every dress hue offered by David’s Bridal and many other hard to find shades as well.  The sashes can then be further customized with flowers or rhinestone buckles and tied in a multitude of ways depending on the taste of the bride and groom. 
Overall, Shelia says her business strives to “give couples the chance to express their own style in a high class way without having to pay a high price tag.”  By focusing solely on stretch chair covers she can offer them at prices far below competitors who don’t specialize.  She also works hard to match the many color combinations couples may present her with.  She currently has hundreds of sashes in stock and adds new color and pattern trends frequently. Whether a casual afternoon garden affair or an elegant evening black tie ball, Elegant Chair Solutions offers countless options that are sure to fit every taste all at a great price! And as Shelia says “Why have plain chairs when all you need is an Elegant Solution?”
