Oh man. I’m so glad I don’t have to wait one. more. minute to post this session! There is so much I can say about this top-shelf couple.. but I seriously think you will be able to see it for yourself in their engagements. I love love love when couples pick a place to shoot that is personal to them [they are always my favorite sessions] and for this one we headed to UT’s campus and started with the Architecture + Design building. I am completely inspired by new places and new ideas while shooting but THIS ONE TOOK THE CAKE! The moment I stepped inside I was like a kid in a candy shop [forgive the cliche.. it just works]. Man, it’s so neat and so are Laura + Andrew. It was perfect and I’m so excited about what came of it. Getting to know these two was like spending the afternoon with good friends and I seriously can’t wait for their wedding this November!

Charlotte + John are two awesome people that I met this past winter. When I met with these two after getting Charlotte’s email inquiring it made me start to realize how the world as I know it is getting smaller + smaller. Charlotte knows several of my past clients and a few 2012 people as well. It’s crazy. Well, after meeting with Charlotte + John at our house, I was convinced that I needed to be a part of their wedding! I love their vision for the whole day and on top of that they are just sweet, adorable, and soooo in love! I feel honored that we get to be a part of their wedding.

Here are just a few of my favorite engagement shots from their session a few weeks ago at the Botanical Gardens Enjoy!

I’ve been soooo looking forward to this shoot! Meet my dear friend Misty and her sweet fiance Matt. I met Misty a few years ago when we worked together downtown. We’ve shared lots of great laughs and shared many more a few weeks ago during her engagement shoot. These two are so sweet together and I can’t wait for their wedding next year.. it will be absolutely perfect and knowing Misty, it will be tons of fun as well!

Amber + Scott // Engagements

I’m thrilled to share this next set. Meet some dear sweet friends of mine Amber + Scott! Scott was one of my very first friends I met at ETSU almost 10 years ago. It’s one of the neatest things to see your good friends meet the one’s they were made for.. and Amber couldn’t be more amazing + Scott’s perfect match. Seriously.. these two are peas and carrots and I’m pretty sure it shows through every image I shot for their engagement session! I’m so excited about this session and just couldn’t wait to share it!

Kristyn Burnette // Mentor Session

I love spending time with new photographers and teaching them all about this thing I love, photography. I especially love it, when it’s family!! Meet Kristyn, my cousin and brand new [talented] photographer. It was exciting to hear all about Kristyn’s goals and dreams. We also talked about workflow, lighting, web presence and the Knoxville wedding scene. This girl has drive and I look forward to seeing where she takes her talent. To check her out click HERE!

Kellie + Brian // Engagements

I just love this couple and am so excited about their wedding coming up in September. Since they had already had some engagements taken before booking me we decided to do a quick morning shoot at the UT stadium where they had their first date. It was neat to listen to them remember all the little details as we walked around the bleachers where it all began. I only hope I did that sweet memory justice. Meet Kellie + Brian!

Kathleen + Joe // One Year Anniversary!!

If you’ve been following my blog for the last year or if you’re UP on the Knoxville wedding industry [heck, you might just be a lucky Knoxvillian] you know this couple! Meet Kathleen + Joe! I shot their wedding around this time last year and from start to finish it was an incredibly unforgettable day! I will never forget it. Since then, I’m thankful to say they have become my friends. Not only are these two awesome people in their day to day lives.. but they are also awesome wedding photographers @ JOPHOTO. I was super pumped when they asked me to shoot their one year anniversary session at their uncle’s farm. I love tall grass at sunset. I’m not sure that I will ever get over that.. even when the trend moves to something new I will be THAT photographer still shooting in a field at sunset… pretty sure of it. You will soon be seeing pictures of me and my hubby on their site as well [sometime this summer]! Yay for love and yay for friends!

Casie + James // Engagements

Casie + James are such a sweet sweet couple!! This was my first time shooting at the Ramsey House here in Knoxville and I must say it’s now one of top 3 places to shoot! Not only way the location awesome awesome but casie kept pulling out of her car the cutest of cute props to create such a fun shoot. Cute couple, awesome location, perfect time of day + adorable props chosen by the bride.. perfection!! Here’s just a little taste..

Looking forward to your wedding Casie + James! Only 5 more months!

Allison + Tom // Engagements

admin — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 17:24:40 +0000

I love when couples bring personality + elements of their personal story to a shoot.. that’s exactly what Allison + Tom made happen! We shot downtown to showcase their first date at the moocho-yummy Coffee + Chocolate and once we arrived at a more relaxed location.. they threw on their Toms! Get it? His name is Tom.. she is now [or soon will be] “Tom’s”.. So cute!!! Congrats Allison + Tom!!

Kelley + Jason // Wedding

admin — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 01:03:39 +0000

A little rain can’t stop two incredible people from getting hitched and still having the perfect wedding day.. here’s proof! Every detail of this wedding was perfect and seemed straight out of Style Me Pretty or Southern Weddings heaven. All the antique pieces spoke to my little antique loving, eclectic heart. I’m thankful to have had that chance to be a part of this day. It was hard to narrow down my favorites but I gave it my best. Congrats Kelley + Jason!!
