World Christian Broadcasting

Last night I was the "official" photographer at the World Christian Broadcasting annual dinner. If you're not familiar, you can find out more HERE. They're a fantastic organization that is responsible for one (soon to be two) huge shortwave radio towers that (once the second one is completed) will cover the entire world with messages of hope and the gospel of peace. It was encouraging to see that even a totalitarian government like that of China can't stop the "good news" from getting to it's people. Also, if you'd like to learn more about short wave radio, check out this article.

Oh! And if you'd like to see the shots from the event, you can go here.

Tim and Jessica

Sunday, I was afforded the privilege of photographing Tim and Jessica's engagement photos. It was a joy to spend a couple of hours with them. Engagement shoots are so much fun for me. I love watching young couples be young couples. I like watching the quiet moments they share. I like seeing the subtle ways they lavish attention on each other. I like catching the little looks meant only for the other. Most of all, I like photographing those moments!

If you'd like to see more of their engagement shoot, go here!

Live In Concert

I LOVE going to concerts, particularly rock concerts. It's not that other music isn't fun to see live, but they're no where near as much fun to photograph. Currently, Nashville's legendary Exit/In is my favorite place to shoot. It's never so crowded I can't move and they always let me in with my camera. That being said, City Hall and The Mercy Lounge are both pretty accommodating, too. Below are links to four shows I was able to catch recently. Oh, and if you see a drunk girl with a full glass of liquor near your professional camera, DON'T GIVE HER THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT! It's only a matter of time before she spills it.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Tyler Andrews Photography blog. The primary purpose for having such a beast is two-fold. First, I'd like to bring folks into the photographic process a bit more. I'll offer some helpful tips and tricks for taking photos of your own. Second, I want to provide fresh, relevant content on a more regular basis so folks have a reason for checking back in with us! I do my best to update the main site every week or two, but this will get far more frequent updates (2-3 a week). I'll also be posting links to separate, specific galleries from here. Curious to see what the Silversun Pickups show at the Exit/In looked like? I've got pictures.

For those that don't know, I'm a Nashville, TN based photographer of weddings, portraits, music and musicians, bands, live shows, fine art and anything else that happens to catch my attention. Please feel free to check out the main site (www.tylerandrews.com).

All of that is to say... Welcome!
