A cookout event for AMP couples only So, I did a thing this year. Instead of spending a crazy amount of money advertising with Wedding Wire, I invested back into my couples. Every single year, I really sit down to look at a budget for Amanda May Photos. I allot so much to advertising, so […]

Graystone Quarry Wedding Kaylin and Trey found me because Kaylin was a bridesmaid in a wedding I photographed two years ago. I didn’t know the impact I made on her when I photographed Leslie & Griffin’s wedding until she reached out to me to tell me she was now engaged, and she couldn’t imagine hiring […]

Pine Ridge Baptist Church Wedding Julia and Jacob got married on October 12th at Pine Ridge Baptist Church in Harriman, TN. I woke up that morning to get ready to go and decided to throw on a light cardigan. I was so hot from blow drying my hair and carrying all my heavy equipment around […]

Cades Cove Wedding and AMP Associate Photographer Ashley and Kyle eloped in Cades Cove on September 28th. I already had a wedding that day so my associate photographer, Brittany, photographed this one for me! This is something new I started offering this year, and I have to say I love it. Here’s the thing with […]

Hunter Valley Pavilion This past weekend I spent the day celebrating with Duncan and Sarah as they slid the prettiest rings on each other’s fingers and committed to forever. We were at the amazing Hunter Valley Pavilion, and I am stoked that this couple wanted a ton of beach pictures. Typically when I shoot at […]

Marblegate Farm Wedding As most of you know, this was my first wedding back from maternity leave just 7 short weeks after Hazel May was born. When I shoot weddings, Dustin watches the kids. This was the first day he was with a 7 week old and a 2.5 year old all day by himself. […]

How to choose your Wedding Photographer There have been so many studies done on wedding planning. The Knot and Wedding Wire both do big ones. According to these studies, the thing that has changed most over the last 5-7 years is the reliance on online reviews and word of mouth marketing. Young brides are either […]

A Wedding at The Standard There are so many Knoxville venues that offer amazing outdoor portrait locations. There aren’t as many that offer a variety of indoor portrait locations though. Especially, not as many awesome spots as you get with a wedding at The Standard. I am so very thankful this past Saturday’s wedding was […]

Strawberry Creek Wedding This wedding was full of some of my favorite people. Way way way way back, 5 years ago, I photographed Tori & Landon’s wedding. Then, a couple years ago, I photographed Taylor & Ty’s wedding. Now, Landon’s sister, Marena, married Taylor’s brother, Jonathan, and they had their wedding at the Stables at […]

The Olmsted Wedding Louisville, KY is not a city I get to shoot in often. In fact, I’ve only ever shot one other wedding there. I really really love traveling to and shooting in new cities, but I’m not always as blown away as I was with Tiffany and Shawn’s locations, especially The Olmsted. We […]
