a couple weeks ago i shot a wedding at the beauitufl tennessee theatre. i have gone to countless concerts and events at the theatre. it is really one of my favorite places. i was really excited when vita said that was where her wedding was going to be held. i knew with a backdrop like the theater it was going to be a grand affair, and it was. i am working on the wedding photos as we speak, but wanted to give you a sneak peak of her bridal portrait session. enjoy!

allison + john. knoxville wedding.

Aug

12

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.

some sweet moments during the ceremony

i mean, how happy are they to be married!!!!

Nicole and Eric. Kingsport Wedding.

Jul

28

i just loved nicole and eric's wedding! it was such a happy and sweet event. it was full of family and full of love. i have had the opportunity this year to shoot a lot of weddings of couples who have been together for a long time, and there is just something so fun about seeing these two people who know each other so well, love each other so much, finally get married.

eric "bedazzled" nicole's. does it get much cutter than that? i think not.

the whole day could be summed up in this one photos. everyone so happy to help out in any way the can.

the flower girl just couldn't wait to throw her petals. so she just dumped them all out at once. :)

some really sweet moments during the ceremony

she was such a beautiful bride. and lighting was just perfect.

ashley and mattew. nashville wedding.

Jul

25

now on to part two of ashley and matthew's nashville wedding! as i said before, i have known the reeds' for a few years through doing young life at webb (where all the reed kids went) and also, caroline (matthew's sister) is one of my best friend's, best friend's....does that make sense?!? anyway! all that to say, it has been really fun getting to know ashley through the whole wedding process as well. she is so fun, so laid back, and super easy to get along with. there is one thing that ashley and i definitely have in common. we both LOVE our dogs! :) as i mentioned in the rehearsal dinner post, they had dog themed table assignments, and olivia is ashley's dog. i have always loved pugs, so for me, meeting olivia at ashley and matthew's engagement session was pretty much love at first sight. and she did not dissapoint the day of the wedding while getting ready. she was hilarious! she definitely knew something was going on, and she did not know what to think about it!

meet olivia, the bridal pug.

i loved this photo of ashley's best friend carrie. she was so sweet and just so excited for ashley and matthew to get married! another thing i can relate to, spontaneously crying

ashley made such a BEAUTIFUL bride.

matthew looked pretty good himself....

aand now they are married!!!!

i i LOVE that first moment that the bride and groom are together right after they walk down the aisle and are alone (well except for me of course) for the first time as HUSBAND AND WIFE! so fun!

just some of the great details..

ashley and matthew, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your day! it was a blast!! best best best wishes!!

ashley and matthew. nashville rehearsal dinner.

Jul

25

the past few weeks have been crazy and have totally flown by! i can't believe how long it has been since i have blogged an actual wedding! this past june had to be one of the hottest months that i can remember. i had a bunch of outdoor weddings and receptions, which i LOVE, but it was really really hot! a few weeks ago i shot a wedding weekend in nashville at a couple of my favorite places! the rehearsal dinner took place at the belle meade plantation. it was such a great place for a cocktail and dinner party! i have known matthew and the reed family for a while now through young life, so i was so excited when ashley asked me to shoot their wedding! the weekend was full of so many great details and it all started at the rehearsal dinner.

i absolutely LOVED this idea for place cards. each table was named after a different family dog, along with it's sillouette. how cute is that?!?!

wwedding photos up next! :)
