Chelsey Somohano asked me to second shoot this lovely Chattanooga wedding & I just couldn’t say no! I’m so glad I got the chance. Shannon & Dan held their ceremony & reception at the Chattanoogan Hotel in downtown Chattanooga. It was a great day with beautiful light & crazy fun dancing!
Our transition to Chattanooga has been slow but steady. We’re getting use to it & trying like crazy to find a thai restaurant that is as good as Pad Thai Cafe in Murfreesboro. Anyone have a suggestion? I’m a thai food fiend. I need some delicious/cheap red curry! Besides that, I’m itching for spring so I can come out of my winter hibernation!
Today I’ve got a good one for you from one of my favorite Knoxville wedding venues- The Foundry! I swear, every Knoxville Foundry wedding is gorgeous! Gahhh did I love shooting this wedding! It rained like crazy, but Kathleen & Matthew took it like champs & let me drag them under random bridges. I’m pretty sure I had the rainiest weddings ever this year & I kinda love them! It’s good luck anyway :)

I’ve got big news.
I’M MOVING TO CHATTANOOGA!!! I can’t wait to start shooting weddings there. I’ll continue to photograph weddings in Knoxville & beyond as well.
I’ve been meaning to blog this wedding forever, but it feels even more appropriate with the move. You may have noticed I’ve been kinda quiet on the blog. SO much has been going on & it’s taken a backseat. I’ve got so much great work from 2012 to share! But first, this amazing wedding in Chattanooga at the Baylor School.
Holy moly- amazing venue & amazing families for this wedding. I hope you enjoy!

You guys might remember Emily & Robby from their super duper airplane engagement session. Emily & Robby are super fun & I couldn’t wait for their wedding! They went to Harry Potter World for their honeymoon, which automatically makes them pretty damn awesome in my book.
