Cleveland Tennessee Bridal - Sarah
A bridal session is perhaps the best way for a future Mrs. to become comfortable in front of the camera prior to her big day. Just like an engagement shoot, we treat this as an opportunity to get to know our bride better and for her to learn more about us too. Having a relationship with your photographer upfront is a major advantage in having natural and effortless posing in your photos when the wedding rolls around.
The bride also gains another huge benefit from this session aside from becoming familiar with our posing and growing more comfortable as the subject of so many photos. This provides a perfect chance to put that hair and makeup trial to great use. Brides can see in advance exactly how they will appear in photos in order to make any alterations, but a great photog always keeps these hidden from the groom until after the wedding.
We were so thrilled to capture all of these moments with Sarah before her wedding day with Daniel. We loved the incorporation of the Lee University campus, as the couple attended school there together. The gorgeous chapel and classic buildings provided the ideal backdrop for her timeless gown and perfectly styled veil. The photos taken at the venue, the Barn at Living Water, allowed us to familiarize ourselves with the ceremony and reception site in advance and to snap some shots of Sarah where the two attend church together. These special moments with the bride are some of our favorites!
A bridal session can truly provide a great opportunity for the bride and photographer to develop a rapport with one another, but it also gives the bride a more relaxed occasion to capture some amazing photos to add to the wedding album. We hope you are inspired by this elegant and romantic bridal session with Sarah!
Sarah and Thomas's Wedding at The Foundry on the Fair Site in Knoxville, TN
We are so excited to share this beautiful wedding held in World's Fair Park on May 2nd. Sarah and Thomas's wedding ceremony and reception took place at the Foundry, but we made sure to take advantage of the gorgeous, sunny day to capture some shots of this sweet couple, their families, and bridal party outside in the park.
The bride was surrounded by her sisters as she donned her classic dress from Posh Bridal in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Their family, in fact, played an important role in every moment of Sarah and Thomas's special day from the first look on, and we were so moved by the close bonds shared between both families.
The interfaith ceremony honored several traditions for both Sarah and Thomas including the sharing of wine, blessings by both a priest and rabbi, and the breaking of the glass. The couple read original vows composed for each other under a chuppah adorned with gorgeous white flowers provided by Echelon Florist.
The personalized details at this wedding were truly amazing and included the sweetest chalkboard signs, a few rustic touches, and a special birthday cake from Cakery Bakery for the groom (since their wedding day was also Thomas's birthday). The couple started their fun-filled reception with the traditional Horah, where the bride and groom were lifted above their guests in golden chairs, and the celebration only intensified throughout the night thanks to Chris with Ogle Entertainment.
Sarah and Thomas's wedding coordinator was Janna Fowler of All About Weddings, hair and makeup Pure Luxe Salon, Spa, and Medspa, and videography was by Ryan's Productions.
We were honored to capture this couple's joy and love. Enjoy these moments from Sarah and Thomas's special day!
Stephanie & Jason
Westwood Mansion Wedding
Stephanie and Jason's wedding on September 27th at Historic Westwood captured the beauty of a natural setting and the beginning of fall with a bit of country charm. Personal touches, like the bride's monogrammed dress and the groom's incorporation of his classic El Camino, made for an extra special day for this amazing couple at both the mansion and their reception venue, the Eaux Performance and Dance Company studio.
Historic Westwood is a beautiful venue that features a gorgeous porch with a gazebo at one end and stairs framed by a lovely stone archway at the other. The interior of the home incorporates intricate woodworking and ornate details from the floor to the ceiling while the side lawn serves as a perfect location for an intimate outdoor ceremony.
Enjoy this sweet couple's Westwood wedding!
