Oak Ridge, TN Wedding Photography

I am so excited to share this Oak Ridge, TN wedding photography at Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church! This sanctuary is stunning & I was sad to hear it was recently demolished to build a Kroger! I’m lucky to have been able to photograph this wedding before the demolition.

See! Stunning, I tell ya. Hillary & Sam had such a fun wedding. You can just see the love that your friends & family have for them. I love all of their quirky details & their cake is probably the most incredible cake in existence. You’d think a church reception would be a little stuffy, but not this church reception. There were so much dancing, laughter, and fun! Hillary & Sam also had a room set up with lots of awesome board games for their guests to play. Sam’s brother, Ben, made the most incredible programs (I’m seriously obsessed with them). You can check out his work here.

Hope you enjoy! If you’re looking for Oak Ridge, TN wedding photography, please get in touch :)

Best of 2014

Whoa! It’s 2015. I can’t believe it! Last year just flew by. As much as I love these ‘best of’ posts, they sure are a pain in the butt to create. Going through all your year’s work & figuring out what speaks to you? Basically hell. But BOY do I love seeing this huge collection of favorites. It’s so fun to look back & see how much my work has evolved. I hope you enjoy it too!

2014 rocked. Thank you to everyone involved- friends, family, clients, fellow photographers, and any nice person who ever suggested my work to someone else. I couldn’t have done it without you. Seriously, I appreciate your support. Thank you, thank you, thank you! As great as 2014 was, I’m pretty sure that 2015 is going to be even more incredible. I hope you stick around for it! xo

Tennessee Riverplace Wedding Photos

When Lauren & John first got in touch with me last year, I was so excited just at the prospect of photographing their wedding. All of the Tennessee Riverplace wedding photos I’ve seen have been incredible & I wanted to have a chance! I was so ecstatic when Lauren & John decided to have me as their wedding photographer! Not only did I get to photograph a wedding at Tennessee Riverplace, I got to photograph an AMAZING wedding at Tennessee Riverplace!

Can you believe that view? It’s just incredible. Tennessee Riverplace is nestled right on the Tennessee River, with incredible mountain views everywhere you look. It definitely does not look 10 minutes from downtown Chattanooga!

Houston Station Wedding Photos

houston station wedding photos

Oh my, these Houston Station wedding photos are doozies. I’m OBSESSED. You may have even noticed that many of these photos are in my portfolio– I love them so much I just couldn’t wait! The industrial vibe & great winter touches are so incredible. Rachel & Trevor really made their Houston Station wedding one to remember.

We lucked out with beautiful warm weather for this winter wedding. We started the day with portraits at Houston Station, then headed to the historic Owen Chapel for their sweet ceremony.

Of course, back to Houston Station for a rocking reception with a great crowd. Nothing Bundt Cake gave the guests a great alternative to the traditional wedding cake (and an amazing pun, if you ask me!).

This wedding has been featured all over the internet thanks to all of the beautiful details that Rachel & Trevor conjured up! You can see more of those details over at Rustic Wedding Chic, Ashley’s Bride Guide, and Houston Station’s blog. I even got a shot featured on Moment Junkie! I’m heading back for another Nashville Houston Station wedding this summer. Molly & Kirk, I can’t wait!

Knoxville Museum of Art Wedding

knoxville museum of art wedding

Stephanie & Brad’s Knoxville Museum of Art Wedding was epic. From the love-filled ceremony to the rockin’ reception, I was so touched by all of their sweet friends & family. This wedding definitely goes down as one of the most energetic receptions that I’ve ever photographed. Both of these families know how to throw a party! The photo above is one of my favorites of 2013.

The day started at Stephanie’s parents house where the girls were getting ready. I fell in love with the bamboo in their backyard & it was the perfect backdrop for Stephanie’s bridal portraits. From there, I headed to Brad’s to photograph the fun group of guys.

When Stephanie & Brad first contacted me, I was so excited about shooting at the Knoxville Museum of Art. As an art lover & fan of art museums, it was basically a dream. I loved all the little artistic details of the day & I am a sucker for the modern reception hall. It is an incredible place for a wedding!

Stephanie & Brad had an incredible team of vendors. Andrea of McKee Occasions kept us all in line & everything running smoothly. Jake at Ogle Entertainment sure knows how to get a celebration going! And I can’t get over those awesome florals by Echelon. Read on to see more of their Knoxville Museum of Art wedding!
