Relaxation in Love!

It is always said that you take your best photos when you are comfortable in your surroundings. Sunday's shoot location couldn't have been more comfortable and relaxing for this couple.

Sunday was such a beautiful day for photos, I had found this great spot at Edwin Warner Park that I felt would be great for some photos. So, I scheduled a shoot with one of my wedding couple Kenneth and Sparkal. The sound of the water was just so tranquil and relaxing to the sound... I placed the couple right in the midst of the water and captured shots as they took in the beauty & natural music of their surroundings. The shoot got even more romantic and relaxing and the sunset. 

Check out some of the photos. 

Please leave us a comment and let us know if we can shoot some photos of you and your special someone...

New Service! - Wedding Photography Gift Registry

Wedding Photography Gift Registry

Do you need help paying for your wedding photography services?
Is your house already set up and are you unsure of what "things" people might get you as a wedding gift?

Are you looking for a gift you'll enjoy everyday?

Our Wedding Photography Gift Registry may be perfect for you!

Our Wedding Photography Gift Registry can help you increase your budget for photography services while offering a convenient gift-giving solution for your guests. Your gifts will not only be well-received, but will provide a life-long artistic memory.

The Bridal Registry options of today are very different than in the past. We understand that most wedding couples may have been housekeeping for a number of years and no longer require the usual household items and "stuff". The wedding photography registry allows your family, friends and guests to make donations towards your wedding photography. So instead of "stuff", you get lasting memories of your special day together.

All gifts/donations will be credited to your "account" which can be applied to your wedding package balance, additional prints or services.

For further details about wedding photography gift registry service please contact us.

First came LOVE, then came Marriage, now here comes the Baby Carriage!

First came LOVE, then came Marriage, now here comes the Baby Carriage for Aaron and Ladonna Ford...

When we first meet with wedding couples are goal is not just to lock them in to capture the special moments of their wedding day, it's to establish a lasting relationship so that we can be there to capture the special moments of the rest of their lives. 

I first met Aaron back in 2005 when I shot his brother. When it came time for Aaron and Ladonna to get married they called us. First came the engagement portraits, then the wedding portraits and now as the couple just celebrated their 2yr. wedding Anniversary, here comes the maternity portraits and very soon the baby carriage!!! 

For the Maternity shoot the couple chose a familiar location of the Ellington Agricultural Center where we took some of their engagement portraits.

Unfortunately we picked a day when the temperature was 90+ degree in the shade, however we made the best of it and were able to capture some beautiful portraits!

Fred & Nekesha Wedding



What a Beautiful Wedding! 


Saturday we had a great time celebrating with and capturing the wedding of Fred and Nekesha. 


I was a little reluctant at first knowing that we were working with such a large wedding party (14 bridesmaid, 14 groomsmen, 3 flower girls, 2 junior bridesmaids, 2 junior groomsmen, a bible bearer, and a ring bearer) woe!!!! I almost lost count, but it all worked out! Everyone was easy going and great to work with!  


We really enjoyed all of the family, friends, and vendors who were involved in this wedding. We really had fun getting know Fred and Nekesha!


Check out a few of the pics!

New Office & Studio!


Ok.... So it has been a long time since I have made a post... God has been blessing us and opening up doors that we had to step away for a little while!

After 10 yrs. of working out of our home, in March we were blessed with opportunity to move out of our home into a 800 sq. ft. office space in downtown Nashville. This now gives us the opportunity to have a spacious office and meeting space. This has also provided us with enough room to have an actual studio!

Just to let you know how God works! I (ROLAND) actually interned and wrote my business plan for ROLAND'S Photography in this same suite back in 1999.

So we are now located in the 315 10th Ave. North Suite 126, right across the street from the TSU Avon Williams in the Nashville Business Incubation Center.

We also have a new office number (615) 242-7907

Feel free to come by and check out the new space or give us a call to schedule a photo session, but don't be surprised if someone else answers the phone besides me!

Happy New Year & Welcome to our Blog!


Happy New Year everyone and welcome to our first blog! This is a new form of communication for us so bear with us... We so excited to share our experiences with you through this blog!

ROLAND's Photography is blessed to say that we have just celebrated our 10th year in business.  We want to say "Thank You" to our past clients and supporters, who have been as much of a blessing to us as we hope we were to them!

Technology in photography has changed a lot over the last 10 years and continues to change daily.  This year we are focused on educating ourselves as well as our clients on this new technology.

We recently attended the ImagingUSA (the professional photography event of the year, Jan. 10-12, 2010) conference at Opryland. It was our first year attending. It was a very educational, yet  overwhelming experience! There are so many new products, services, and equipment options available to help us take our creativity to another level!

As 2010 unfolds we will be showcasing what we learned from new techniques, to new products and services.

We hope that this blog will be a opportunity for others to see the creative ministry that God has planted in ROLAND'S Photography.
