Sampson’s Hollow Elopement Caleigh and James had a small Sampson’s Hollow wedding on May 23rd. They were the 4th of 6 weddings I had in 10 days, and it was the perfect middle wedding for two reasons. 1) They decided on a smaller wedding where it would just be four guests, their ADORABLE kiddos, and […]

WindRiver Wedding Day This wasn’t my first WindRiver wedding day since becoming a Knoxville Wedding Photographer, but this was the first time I photographed this combination of ceremony and reception locations. The ceremony was on the hill right beside Citico’s Restaurant overlooking the GORGEOUS lake. The reception, however, was at a spot called Overlook Manor […]

This post is going to sound so biased because…well…I’m a vendor. Of course, I want to be treated well, but I also want to explain why I feel this is so important. Plus, I have a few ideas for you so you want to treat your vendors especially well. Or maybe just some pointers you […]

WindRiver Bridal Portraits In case you haven’t noticed, I have shot a TON of bridal portraits recently. I think the biggest reason for this is the Wedding Planning 101 blog post that I wrote last month called “Why do a bridal session?” I’m not going to lie…as I’ve shot all of these recently, I’ve found […]

A Ramble Creek Vineyard wedding that had a touch of UT orange to represent how much this couple loves The University of Tennessee. If you remember, I published Taylor’s bridal session the day after their wedding. (You can […]

Dayton, OH Wedding at Top of the Market My middle wedding this past weekend was in Dayton, OH. How in the world did I get a Dayton, OH wedding you ask? It starts back in college. Even before I started Amanda May Photos. I went to undergrad at University of the Cumberlands where I played […]

Pavilion at Hunter Valley Farm Wedding This past weekend was one for the books. If you follow along with Amanda May Photos on Instagram, then you saw that I had a triple header weekend.
