Winter Engagement at Castleton Farms This couple’s wedding at Castleton Farms in December of 2022. We scheduled their winter engagement at Castleton Farms, and I think it’s important to point out how important it is to see your venue in the same season as your wedding. Venues can look TOTALLY different in the winter than […]

Marblegate Farm Engagement Session Maleah and Wes are getting married at Marblegate Farm on March 26, 2022. I was already booked that day with my first wedding after Evelyn arrives so Alyssa Rachelle Photography is actually shooting it for me. Normally, I would have Alyssa also shoot the engagement session so they could officially meet […]

Foothills Parkway Engagement I met Bonnie through Houston and Christina whose wedding I photographed last year. Bonnie is Houston’s sister, and I had a blast getting to know her on their wedding day. Not only was she a bridesmaid, but she and Sadler came to their preview party at my house. It’s fun going through […]

Melton Hill Park Engagement Cari and Eric’s engagement session at Melton Hill Park happened right after the fall weather really came to Knoxville. I remember thinking, “Yyyeeeessssssss…I won’t be sweating anymore!!” Pregnancy means WAY more blood pumping through your body, which is like an internal heater keeping you nice and toasty. I also have a […]

Knoxville Botanical Garden Engagement This is a Knoxville Botanical Garden engagement session that ended up with the most BEAUTIFUL light. We were shooting for a fall look even though it was still 80 degrees outside, and I think we pulled it off. Allie and Tanner may have been sweating by the end, but you would […]

A Tennessee Valley Fair Engagement Session It’s been a minute since I’ve done a fair engagement session. Only one in my whole career, and it was the Anderson County Fair. So much smaller, and we went before they opened so we had the whole place to ourselves. This was a totally different experience, and because […]

Norris Lake Proposal Todd and Ellie are ENGAGED, you guys! Todd reached out to me several months ago about proposing to his girlfriend while they were on a big family vacation on Norris Lake. Most everyone is from Ohio, and they come down to this area every year, rent a huge cabin, bring their boat, […]

A Cloudy Norris Dam Engagement Session Krystina and Jared wanted to do their engagement photos at Norris Dam because that is where Jared proposed. So appropriate, right?? The day of their session, the rain forecast changed 15 times, but they came in from out of town so there was no changing it. I did decide […]

Veronica & Hunter’s Knoxville Botanical Engagement Session Veronica called me a few months ago looking for a wedding photographer. At the time, I was driving and couldn’t take any notes. We had been chatting for about 15 minutes when I told her I did not have her date available for me to shoot, but that […]

A Mead’s Quarry and UT Engagement Session Spring and Sterling’s engagement session last week was perfect. They happened to be in town for another wedding, I happened to have a day available, and we met up at Mead’s Quarry for their first location. I go through trends of shooting places. When I shoot somewhere, all […]
