2013!! Wow. What a year. I moved to Chattanooga. I photographed amazing weddings & captured joyful moments at each one.

Last year I did not get the chance to make a review post, so I tried my best to make this one happen. And I’m so glad that I did. I absolutely love scrolling through this selection of my favorite photos. It’s such a fun mixture of sweet moments, portraits, and kick-ass reception shots.

To all my clients this year, THANK YOU! Thank you for letting me into your life for a day. You all are absolutely the best. I never cease to be amazed by just how well my clients “get me” & let me do my thing.

2014 clients, I can’t wait to photograph your weddings!!

To all of my supporters, you guys rock. Every single one of you. Every time you LIKE a photo on Facebook or tell an engaged friend about me, you help me continue doing what I love. I really cannot express how much that means to me.

So here it is. My favorite photos of 2013 in no particular order. Which one is your favorite?

xo Happy New Years!!

Molly & Kevin are getting married this weekend in Oak Ridge & I am ridiculously excited. When we met up for their downtown Knoxville engagement photos, I had the honor of getting to know them. Molly & Kevin were high school sweethearts that reunited in the middle of their college careers. They spent the rest of college & a little bit after suffering through a long distance relationship- so this makes their wedding so special. I love hearing their story!

Molly & Kevin, see you soon!

Last weekend I photographed a beautiful Oneida TN wedding. Fall in East Tennessee is incredible! Here’s one shot of Ting. I can’t wait to share more! xo

Hello there! If you are looking for Chattanooga elopement photography, you have come to right place. I’ve shot a few elopements and they are just the best. They are intimate & sweet. I just love the entire vibe. I’ve been shooting weddings for four years. My favorite thing about weddings is the love, emotions, & excitement. I don’t think you need thousands of dollars in vintage rentals or 100 guests to have an incredibly meaningful wedding. You can view one of the most recent elopements I’ve photographed here.

Did you know that an elopement doesn’t have to be at the Chattanooga Courthouse? As long as you have an officiant and two witnesses, you can get married anywhere. Many wedding venues offer their spaces for weekday elopements & many public parks don’t even require permits.

I love how elopements can be as big or small as you want. You can wear a beautiful wedding dress or show up in the same clothes you wore to work. You can spend money on a beautiful bouquet or you can spend money on a fancy hotel room for the evening. You can have no one you know present or have ten of your closest friends and family. My favorite wedding blog, A Practical Wed, has TONS of great examples of beautiful elopements. Whether you are calling off your big wedding & eloping or planning a post-elopement reception, eloping can be a great solution to wedding stress.

If you are getting eloped, check out my portfolio, read some reviews, & get in touch for more information about my Chattanooga elopement photography!

The day of Tina & Jamie’s Chattanooga engagement photos, it threatened rain ALL DAY. Tennessee weather is such a joy. Luckily, as soon as I arrived at Red Clay State Park the rain clouds moved on & we had wonderful weather for their engagement session. Just outside of Chattanooga, Red Clay State Park is a beautiful area for exploring & taking pictures. I’m so glad that the rain clouds cleared because Tina & Jamie are adorable together. I can’t wait to share their wedding on the blog soon! xo
