allison + john. knoxville wedding.

Aug

ever since we got home from vacation i have been BUSY! lots of weddings, engagement sessions, bridal portrait sessions, and of course my favorite thing, editing! but it is always nice when you get a wedding like allison and john's. allison and john's wedding had everything that makes up a GREAT wedding. lots of fun details, lots of personality, and most of all lots of LOVE. if you asked me to describe allison and john's relationship in one phrase, i would say, they are absolutely crazy about each other. or as her dad said during his toast at the reception, "you could get a tooth ache if you hang around the two of them together for too long." that statement could not be more true. here are just some of my favorites from their fun day!

allison gaddis from live, laugh, love, weddings planned the entire event. i loved the fun color scheme that just screamed allison and john's personality!

as most of you know, normally my sister is my second shooter, but i had the privilege of having that awesome hannah wilhoit come along with me for this wedding and she did a fabulous job! i loved these next two detail shots she got of the different napkins that allison had for the tables.

i loved how allison used banquet tables! Here in the south, most receptions are buffet style and then seated in round tables, but i thought that the banquet tables were a nice touch. they still had a buffet, so brides, don't be afraid to mix up and break the rules a little bit!

allison and john decided to do a "first look" and see each other before the ceremony. i would definitely describe myself as an emotional person. so, don't be surprised if you catch me shedding a tear at some point while photographing your wedding....but, i have to admit, i wept during their "first look". allison, the wedding planner, had to come up to me and ask if needed a tissue. it was just sooooo sweet. they like REALLY love each other :)

i just loved these next two! allison was so excited to show off her dress!

i always feel really privileged to be in the room when bridesmaids pray over their dear friend. always such a sweet moment.
