Foothills Parkway Maternity We had one of the most beautiful days to shoot the Neubauers’ Foothills Parkway maternity session. The skies were clear, the sun was out, and Lisa was absolutely glowing. Maternity sessions always feel like engagement sessions to me except we emphasize a baby bump instead of a ring. Lots of belly holding […]

Castleton Wedding This couple got the full monty when it came to their photography package. They are from Michigan and had to postpone their wedding due to COVID. If there was one thing Christina knew for sure though, it’s that she LOVES pictures and wanted a lot of them. Not only did I get to […]

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 […]

Vietnamese Wedding at Hunter Valley Farm I’ve shot one other Vietnamese-American wedding, but it did not dive nearly as far into the Vietnamese traditions as Loanie and Andy’s day did. On the morning of this Vietnamese wedding, the families of the bride and groom, the bridal party, and the couple gathered at the bride’s parents’ […]

Sunny Lighthouse Knoxville Wedding On July 24th, the Amanda May Photos team served two couples. One was this wedding at Lighthouse Knoxville, and the other is the wedding I’ll share next at The Pavilion at Hunter Valley Farm. Both weddings consisted of different cultures and showed off some really fun traditions I don’t usually get […]

Cardinal’s Nest Wedding There were so many cool, unique things about Eric and Erica’s Cardinal’s Nest wedding last weekend. They had been planning this wedding celebration for over 800 days when it finally happened. They did a small, intimate ceremony a year prior so they could go ahead and be legally married while also keeping […]

Vineyard Wedding at Castleton Farms The week leading up to this wedding, I was in Florida with my in-laws. I flew Allegiant, and on my way back, the plane was fully boarded. We were on our way to the runway when it stopped, and the pilot came on to tell us that we were going […]

The Carriage House Wedding Allie and Brady got married at The Carriage House. I didn’t get the opportunity to physically be there because I was already booked at Castleton that day. Instead, my dear friend Brittany Sidwell shot on my behalf. When she brought the cards to me the next day, we sat in my […]

It’s pretty standard now in the wedding photography industry to have a second shooter present on any wedding day that is 8+ hours. Every lead photographer will utilize their second shooter differently based on the way they run their wedding day, how they build their timeline, and the specific elements of the day their second […]

Urban Engagement Session This couple. Where do I even start??? First of all, they are adorable. Second of all, I’m totally obsessed with their urban engagement session. Third of all, we have so much in common already. The day they get married, I actually already have two other weddings. Typically, I don’t take on a […]
