Intimate Sequoyah Park Inspirational Wedding Shoot
Imagine a gorgeous park full of lush greenery amid a historic neighborhood running along the Tennessee River, and you would be in Sequoyah Park, the location for this inspirational shoot. Bringing together some of Knoxville’s most creative wedding vendors, our goal was to capture portraits that featured memorable details, highlighted the intimate moments shared by a couple on their wedding day, and celebrated the charm of the venue. An elegant table set for two with glimmers of gold and stunning floral arrangements set a romantic scene while the ivory gown and hand crafted stationery added a vintage touch. We hope that this shoot inspires couples to take the ordinary and make it extraordinary with a fine art approach and classic styling.
Thank you Trendy Bride for the beautiful feature of our inspiration shoot at Sequoyah Park.

Heather & PJ Cancun Wedding
Hello friends. Juicebeats here.
Recently, I was honored to have the opportunity to photograph the wedding of my great friends, Heather and PJ, at the Ocean Coral and Turquesa Resort in Puerto Morelos, Mexico. The wedding took place on Friday, December 12th on a rooftop overlooking the white-sand beach and Mexican Carribean. The couple was married under a beautiful canopy featuring touches of their wedding colors, purple and orange, and the intimate ceremony included many personalized touches. First, the ceremony was performed by Heather's matron of honor, Kendall, which made the moment even more meaningful for the couple and the wedding guests. Heather and PJ wrote their own vows and involved their parents during the exchanging of the rings, a special moment that was truly original to this ceremony. In addition, guests were encouraged to use their party favors, personalized maracas, to celebrate the couple's first kiss as husband and wife. Heather and PJ also incorporated the tradition of jumping the broom, which signified the joining of their two families and marked the beginning of their lives together.
This intimate ceremony was special for so many reasons, but it was personally meaningful for me to photograph my friends as they came together as one. The gorgeous scenery provided the perfect backdrop for Heather and PJ's special day, and I was lucky to catch some cool shots of the couple with a rainbow.
Enjoy the photos of this destination wedding in Mexico.
"Real Rant" Music Video Shoot
Hello friends. Juicebeats here.
This past Saturday was a busy day for me. It took over four hours to shoot Corvette Polo's "Real Rant" music video downtown in the hot sun. I was able to work with York of Quality Vision Films for the cinematography. We talked about each scene and how we wanted to capture it from each camera. It was great to speak with someone with the same technical mind and knowledge of capturing a vision on film. We mapped out our locations for each shot, the first being the alleyway covered in graffiti behind Market Square. Next, we headed to the top of the Locust Street garage; luckily, no one was up there at this time. We also shot just behind the Market Square stage by the water fountains. There was a play going on while we were shooting, but I think with all of our camera equipment, we were getting more attention than the play was. Look for the music video "Real Rant" coming soon. Here are a few images from the set...
