There comes a time in a mans life when he has to make certain decisions.
Now is one of them. I, Joel Hartz, have chosen to take on the craziness that is the bridal experience so that I can hopefully understand it a bit better and connect with our brides a bit more. I figure that if I put myself through the same tasks and decisions that they have to do, once engaged, then maybe… just maybe I can understand the cycle of bliss, trepidation, and bliss again that seems to encompass the bridal experience. All from a mans perspective of course.
“How are you going to do that” you ask? Well by creating a webshow called the Bride In Me and an accompanying website to showcase the show and offer Wedding Planning Education and Inspiration – from a mans perspective… and to also allow you to keep up on the latest wedding and bridal trends, get expert advice from real live wedding experts, view interviews with wedding vendors, get married and laugh! Or at least I hope you will laugh, it is supposed to be a mildly humorous show, which means it might be better watched after a few glasses of wine.
“When is this happening” you ask? Well, soon. Not sure exactly, but the first episode should be finished in the next few weeks… I promise to give you more precise info as I have it. But in the meantime you can do a few things like…
Blend Nashville + Nashville Marriage Studio + Hartz Photographic Studios =
The ladies over at Blend Nashville did a complete office makeover for The Nashville Marriage Studio and we took the pictures. Check out the Nashville Marriage Studio owner Marie’s blog for more before and after images. Oh, and if you’re getting hitched soon, or need some interior redesigning or home staging, then check out Nashville Marriage Studio and Blend Nashville accordingly. And if your in need so some amazing Photography then contact Hartz Photographic Studios, that would be us!!
I thought we would share a few of our favorite images from Hanna and Bobby’s Rehearsal. You might remember Hanna and Bobby’s Engagement Party we photographed back in November, well now they are blissfully wed and from what I understand recovering from a wonderful honeymoon! The rehearsal was held at the Hermitage Hotel in downtown Nashville, and the Dinner at Morton’s Steak House just a block away. We’ll we were supposed to get some cool shots of everyone as they migrated form the hotel to Morton’s, but the heavens opened and it poured as we were making out way! It actually turned to be a great blessing ( for us) as we were able to capture some fun shots in the rain.
Collaboration can be a wonderful opportunity, like it was when we filmed with Jonathon Campbell Photography all over downtown Nashville during an engagement session with Casey and Josh. Our role was to create a Save the Date film for Casey and Josh that they could send out to their friends and family for their forthcoming wedding on….I almost told you the date, I can’t make it that easy, you will just have to watch the Save the Date to learn when!.
Meeting Casey and Josh was a real treat, and of course collaborating with Jonathon and Sharon Campbell again was just delightful. Enjoy!

This week on the Hartz Photographic Studios VLOG I am giving you a quick studio tour showing my lighting set up. I have had a number of people asking about my set up and since I promised them I would show it…
Dave Dugdale - Very cool, thanks for sharing! It is always fun to see what others are doing.
Can you talk about your black backdrop? Does it have a pattern on it?
Also one of the links is broken. :)
Yes, I would like to see how you set exposure and white balance to see if it is the same way I do it.
Joel - Thanks Dave, I fixed the links. The backdrop in the lighting set up video is my studio wall. It is just OSB that is painted black, hence the slight pattern.
