Knoxville Botanical Gardens Kari and Stefan are planning a full wedding on a really fast timeline. When we met, Kari said… I’ve always wanted to get married in the fall and since he proposed in the spring… that means a 6 month – ish engagement. I love that she didn’t let the short term engagement […]

Biltmore Estate Donald and Abbey first found me by attending another wedding that I was shooting back in January. It wasn’t long after that wedding, that the sister of that Bride got engaged and I was able to photograph her proposal. Donald and Abbey also attended the proposal and Donald struck up a conversation with […]

Coolidge Park When you begin looking through the Coolidge Park engagement pictures below… you’ll notice the couple goes from being totally dry to drenched. You’ll notice the ground goes from being dry to covered in puddles. You’ll also notice NO strangers in any of our backgrounds. You know why??? Because it became a torrential down pour […]

Douglas Lake When I met with Chaney, she kept telling me how picky she was with pictures. They got engaged in the summer of 2016, but it was early 2017 when she hired her photographer because she is just so picky.

Proposing on the Southern Belle River Boat Mike took Allison to the Southern Belle River Boat last year for Valentines Day. They had such a good time that when it came time to plan this year’s Valentines Day, they decided to do the same thing! They weren’t going to be able to do it actually […]

There were SO many people involved, and as I’m sure you’ve experienced yourself, the more people there are, the less control you have over the whole situation, but everything literally went off without a single hitch. I think we ended up deciding there […]
