A Fall Grand Hall Wedding Full of Surprises Chris and Evan’s fall Grand Hall wedding at Nichols Heir was full of surprises from beginning to end. All day long, I was fully focused on not giving away the wrong surprise to the wrong person. And there were a lot of them to keep straight! The […]

A few weeks before her wedding day, Rebekah met me for an unforgettable bridal session. This session wasn’t a traditional venue-based one. It was a creative, editorial-inspired White Room Bridal Session in my studio. I usually photograph bridal sessions at the couple’s wedding venue. Doing so gives the bride an opportunity to see how her […]

If there is one thing I will never get tired of, it’s photographing weddings at The Trillium with those gorgeous Smoky Mountain views. Add in the most perfect fall weather, a couple I absolutely adore, and a sunset that turned the mountains PINK, and you’ve got yourself one unforgettable wedding day! Jennifer and Zach’s Fall […]

A Glowy Fall Castleton Estate Wedding Rebekah and David’s Castleton Estate wedding was one of two weddings I photographed during the weekend of October 17. And of all the weekends to have a doubleheader, this was the perfect one! The weather could not have been more beautiful. The light was warm and glowy, the temperature […]

A Destination Wedding in Richmond, VA with a Family I Adore! Ajalyn and Sawyer’s Adaline Acres wedding was one of those days that left me completely amazed and incredibly grateful. The forecast called for scattered showers all day, and not the harmless 20% or 30% kind. We were looking at 80%, 90%, and even 100% […]

A Cloudy Fall Wedding at a Family Farm in Crossville, TN Marissa and Paul’s Crossville farm wedding was filled with everything I love about wedding days: breathtaking scenery, heartfelt moments, joyful people, and just enough unpredictable Tennessee weather to keep us on our toes. Before we jump into their wedding day, though, you’ll see a […]

If you saw Mariah and Shane Andrews’s engagement session, previous blog posts, social media features, or wedding day announcement, you already know that I have known Mariah since she was a little girl. Photographing her wedding was such a meaningful, full-circle moment for me. Throughout the day, Mariah kept thanking me for being there and […]

My First Irish Trillium Wedding Some wedding days stay with me because of a spectacular view. Others stay with me because of the people. David and Pauline’s Irish Trillium wedding gave me both. I don’t often photograph couples whose adult children have already celebrated weddings of their own. I don’t often shoot weddings on a […]

A perfectly timed thunderstorm, the ultimate hype girls, and a gorgeous September celebration at Maple Grove Estate Maple Grove Estate doesn’t typically host many weddings during July and August, and if you’ve ever experienced an East Tennessee summer, you probably understand why. The property is stunning and easily one of my favorite venues to photograph, […]

A heartfelt Marblegate summer wedding filled with family, joyful smiles, and the sweetest coffee-cart surprise Kristen and Jacob’s Marblegate summer wedding was filled with heartfelt moments, thoughtful surprises, and the kind of joy you simply cannot manufacture. One of the moments that touched me most happened during what is usually the quietest part of a […]
