Downtown Knoxville and Meads Quarry Engagement Session There is one thing that a client can say to their photographer that will literally make that photographer’s heart jump for joy, and it’s this, “Oh, I totally trust you, I know you’re going to do a great job!” That’s it. That one little phrase. I have worked REALLY REALLY hard over the years to generate a culture around the […]

Arrington Vineyards Engagement Last week I trekked across Tennessee to meet this Texas couple for an Arrington Vineyards engagement session. There is this AMAZING planner in Nashville, Ashley Silver Bourque with Silver Celebrations, that connected me with Emily and Charlie. I don’t know how she knew that we would be such a great match, but […]

Relix Theater Wedding I haven’t shot a Relix Theater wedding since they remodeled, and you guys, it is SO nice. They completely transformed their space from something that looked more like a concert space to a high-end downtown wedding venue. There were three things especially great about it: 1) The sun sets directly in front […]

2018 Favorite Wedding Photos Every year I put together a post at the end of the wedding season made up of my own personal favorites from all the weddings I shot that year. This year I did something a little different. I marked my favorites as I went this year instead of going through every […]

Hugging necks, shaking hands, laughing, and chatting with every single person present, which was a […]

A Weekday Wedding at Marblegate Farm There’s just something different about weekday weddings. They are slower, more relaxed, less chaotic events. Not that this can’t be true for a Saturday wedding because some Saturday weddings have this vibe, too. I’ve just never shot a weekday wedding where it hasn’t had this atmosphere. Saturdays are a […]

A Tennova Fresh 48 Baby Session You’ll never believe when I tell you that Brittney has had two girls in the last 2.5 years, and both were delivered in the same Tennova hospital room. What are the chances?? I’m always impressed with the size of the rooms when I shoot Tennova fresh 48 sessions. The […]

A UT Vols Wedding at Castleton Farms This blog post is probably going to feel more scattered than normal. I have SO many unrelated things to share from this UT Vols wedding day. So, let’s just dive right in! See how it was kind of all over the place? This UT Vols wedding was so […]

The Ins and Outs of Writing Your Own Vows When Dustin and I got married, I wanted to write our own vows. He refused. Keep in mind, this is back in 2013 and very few couples wrote their own vows back then. There were lots and lots and lots of things he let me have […]
