Oh sweet Julia & Will. What an amazing Smithview Pavilion wedding! I love how the couple infused their personalities into everything- from Rita’s Ice to an R2D2 cake. Their first look was incredibly sweet and it gave us time to get plenty of portraits & wedding party shots. I loved Julia & Will’s intimate wedding- the knot tying ceremony was awesome! One of my favorite moments of the day was the last dance- I think I shed a tear or two!

Huge thanks to Andrew Childress for joining me as the second photographer. Nicholas & Keaton are kick-ass videographers & I loved working with them- check out their video from this wedding HERE. And kudos to Smithview Pavilion for having such a wicked venue! I love the open air reception site & all of the cute quirky details. Congrats Julia & Will! I hope you have many adventures in Virginia!

When one of your best friends gets engaged, magic happens. I had so much fun taking Sarah & Clint’s engagement photos! I can’t wait to shoot their Knoxville wedding in August! Congrats Sarah & Clint! Your joy is so fun to photograph. Check out more of my favorite engagement sessions here.

Last Friday I photographed 6 different couples in 3 hours. It was a whirlwind of sessions & I had so much fun! Each couple had just 30 minutes, but we made the most of it. I loved all the different couples- one will celebrate their 10 year anniversary this year & another got engaged just last month! It was definitely an adrenaline high. Here’s a preview of the evening!

This is a beast of a post.

Mallory & Philip held their wedding ceremony at Mountain Cove Farms in Chickamauga, GA. It has a quaint little airstrip where they use to land their plane when they were dating. Such a sentimental place! It also helps that Mountain Cove Farms is drop-dead gorgeous. They held their reception at the Sheraton Read House in downtown Chattanooga- which is about as classy as it can get. It was such a wonderful day. Mallory & Philip spend their day surrounded by their loved ones.

It’s officially the first time I’ve seen a bride & groom fly away from their ceremony in an airplane. So memorable & fun for everyone! Huge props to Cheryl of Blissful Moments Wedding & Event Planning for helping everything come together.
