Nikki & Brian's Elkmont Campground Engagement
We were so excited to meet Nikki and Brian at the Elkmont Campground for this gorgeous engagement shoot. This Alabama couple was vacationing in the Smoky mountains and wanted a unique setting for their save the dates.
This sweet couple brought along their adorable dog, Scout, and we were happy to catch some endearing moments between the three along the streams of the campground. Some of our favorite shots, however, were taken at an overlook just past the Laurel Falls hiking trails.
Take a peek at these mountain engagement photos, and look out for Nikki and Brian's Alabama wedding feature on our blog in the fall.
Inara & Cody's Modern Bohemian Wedding - The Stables at Hunter Valley Farm
An absolutely beautiful bride; a handsome, happy groom; and a group of fun loving friends and family celebrating with them made Cody and Inara's big day at The Stables at Hunter Valley Farm a truly memorable one. The Stables feature a gorgeous outdoor ceremony venue underneath a canopy of tall trees, a stone-paved path beneath a large pergola, and rustic fences lining the property. We loved the mix of wooden chairs and classic pews for guests to witness the union of these two as well as the spacious reception area that truly embodies the feel of a stable but with elevated elegance.
Inara's gorgeous lace gown fit her like a glove, and we adored the variety of bridesmaid's dresses. Cute, sparkly flats ensured the girls would be comfortable, so they could dance alongside the couple throughout the night. Shades of pink, purple, and cream in the bouquets and centerpieces by Swank Floral added the perfect pop of color and complemented the neutral tones of the girls' dresses. Cody and his groomsmen kept it simple, forgoing traditional coats and three piece suits in favor of stylish suspenders and gray Converse. These guys were great sports, creating one of our favorite moments (and photos) of the day when they decided to playfully toss leaves into the air together.
Stealing a few moments alone after the ceremony, Inara and Cody took a stroll down a grassy path and were greeted by horses who popped their heads over the fence at the most opportune moments for us to capture a few shots. We hope you enjoy these photos from the couple's special day, and join us in congratulating them again!

Billy and Amanda's Nolichucky Vineyard Wedding
One word to describe Billy and Amanda's ceremony and reception that took place at Nolichucky Vineyard? Gorgeous. With rows of grapes, a beautiful view of the Nolichucky river, and a pictereqsue barn, the vineyard is nestled off the beaten path in Russellville, Tennessee. We loved the uniqueness that this venue offered as well as the breathtaking surroundings.
We started our day with Amanda and her bridesmaids in the barn as they snacked and prepared for the ceremony in adorable pink and turquoise robes. Amanda provide each girl, along with her mother and future and mother in law, sweet gifts and handwritten notes that evoked happy tears through the room. We adored the stunning cream and gray bridesmaids' dresses with touches of lace, and we were thrilled when Amanda chose comfort and tossed aside her wedges to instead don some cute ankle boots with her flattering white gown. Lovely bouquets featuring white and pink flowers with orange and green accents popped when set against the more neutral tones and completed the elegant ensembles.
This day was all about family, and the couple celebrated this by each having a first look, Amanda with her father and Billy with his mom. These touching moments were some of our favorite of the day aside from the traditional ceremony that took place alongside the river under a draped canopy.
Amanda worked tirelessly to perfect her décor at the wedding which incorporated books of all sorts and antique inspired lanterns and glass birds. Everyone was there for a celebration and took to the dance floor with the couple who smiled and laughed the entire evening. We were so happy to have them sneak away for a few moments together alone amongst the vineyard rows as we captured these intimate moments shared between this newly named husband and wife.
We truly came to know and love Amanda and Billy, and we feel so honored to have been part of such an amazing day. We hope you adore these photos as much as we do these special moments and this couple.

Jodi and Ed's Hobbs Farm Wedding
Jodi and Ed's special day took place at The Hobbs Farm in Loudon, Tennessee. This gorgeous venue features a lovely, hidden outdoor ceremony location as well as a spacious barn for a unique reception experience.
We absolutely loved the incorporation of a first look between Jodi, her mother, father, and adorable son. This was such a sweet moment along with Jodi opening special gift from Ed prior to the ceremony, a beautiful silver necklace embellished with the word "Mrs." Little country touches with mason jars, a draped pergola, and stunning wooden doors adorned with wreaths for the entryway, set the scene for the perfect outdoor ceremony on a fall afternoon.
The bridesmaids' beautiful navy blue dresses were accented with simple bouquets of baby's breath, and we loved Jodi's elegant floral arrangement incorporating timeless peach roses. This group was a ton of fun the entire day, posing and joking throughout the photos, but we most enjoyed our time with them as they cut a rug on the dance floor the entire evening.
We hope you enjoy this rustic, fall wedding as much as we did, and wish Jodi and Ed a big congratulations with us!

Greg and Stephanie's Traditional West Knoxville Wedding
It was a day full of love, happy tears, simple elegance, and true celebration. We are so thrilled to share Greg and Stephanie's West Knoxville wedding today.
Our day began with the couple at Embassy Suites, a hidden gem and truly lovely indoor venue, as they prepped for their big day. We absolutely loved Stephanie's traditional lace gown with shimmering embellishments as well as her choice of full length navy bridesmaids dresses complimented by beautiful white and green floral arrangements. The couple's first look at Founders Park at Campbell Station allowed the two to share some intimate moments before joining their bridal party for some playful shots.
The Catholic ceremony took place at St. John Neumann, a gorgeous church adorned with stained glass windows, intricate stone statues, and rich wooden pews. We loved having a moment to grab some bridal portraits of Stephanie outside in front of the oversized doors amongst a stone façade.The surroundings added reverence for the true meaning of the day, the joining of their lives as one before God, family, and friends.
The reception, held in the Tennessee Ballroom at Embassy Suites, featured elegant centerpieces created by the groom's mother, and incorporated some awesome dance moves and a little bit of karaoke from the couple. A sparkler exit ended the perfect day for this newly named husband and wife.
We hope you enjoy Stephanie and Greg's big day as much as we did!

Ashley & Matt's Whitestone Country Inn Wedding
As seen on...
We spent a sunny September Saturday photographing Ashley and Matt's gorgeous wedding at Whitestone Country Inn. This was a true celebration and a day full of joy, which is clearly evident from the bride's expressions in these photos throughout the day.
We loved capturing some adorable photos of Ashley and her bridesmaids having a little fun before a sentimental and truly perfect first look between the bride and her father. His reaction was priceless as was their playful, surprise choreographed dance at the reception. The day also featured an unexpected wedding party member, Ashley's adorable pup, Rubie, adorned with a floral collar.We also loved that Ashley and Matt requested a first look with the groom blindfolded so that they could share an intimate moment before the ceremony but also maintain the tradition of the groom seeing the bride for the first time as she walked down the aisle to meet him.
Whitestone Country Inn features a lovely chapel with lots of natural light and beautiful wooden doors embellished with stained glass crosses. Starting with a ring warming where all the guests had a chance to hold the couple's rings and say a silent prayer or blessing, Ashley and Matt's ceremony incorporated the exchanging of personalized vows.
The couple loves to travel together, and during the reception, guests were seated at tables decorated with photos in locations the two have visited. Rustic details, classic elements, and spectacular bouquets and floral head pieces for the girls added special touches to make Ashley and Matt's day even more elegant.
Join us in congratulating Ashley and Matt, and enjoy these pictures from their special day.
