Yesterday we drove out to Cades Cove near Gatlinburg, TN for an engagement session with Meagan and Claes. Engagement sessions make such a difference in the overall feel of the wedding-day photos! The couples are always so much more relaxed and we have a much better idea of how to work with them from behind the camera. We’ll be photographing Meagan and Claes’ wedding next week in North Carolina and we were so glad to have the opportunity to meet them before the big day! They are so obviously crazy about each other and so cute! Here’s a little preview of their session:

You guys were great! We’re so excited about your wedding next weekend!

And now we’re off to Florida for Scott and Amy’s wedding on Saturday, closely followed by Janel and Evan’s wedding on Sunday in Nashville. It’s going to be a busy busy weekend! Bye for now!

This week we photographed the wedding of Amy and Dominic. They are such a sweet and beautiful couple! Their wedding was held at Oaklands Historic House and Museum in Murfreesboro, TN. It’s a gorgeous house and thankfully with tons of great shaded places for photos! :)

Getting ready at the Carriage Lane Inn…

Thanks to Jenna Fletcher of Regal Planning for helping us with all of the details of the day!

I love asking kids to run for it! You just never know what they’re going to do. :)

They had such a good-looking wedding party didn’t they? You all were so great to work with! Thank you!

It was a beautiful ceremony performed by Pastor David Farris.

The little ones mistook the flower petals on the ground for a mess and set about cleaning them up all through the ceremony. :)

The carriage driver was a woman named Carolyn who has got to be the sweetest woman in the world!

First Dance…

The cakes were from Cakes by Pat and they were great!

Who knew you could do such fun things with fruit?? :) Catering was done by Chef Christopher and his team. Truly, truly this man makes the best beef tenderloin I’ve ever tasted in my entire life! It was awesome!

Dominic serenades his new bride with a little help from DJ Ralph (Middle TN DJ Services) and the guys…

You guys were so great – thank you so much! We had a wonderful time with everyone and we can’t wait for you to see the rest of your pictures!

Yesterday we went out to Scarritt Bennett do to a bridal session with Catherine. I just have to tell you – we are smokin’ hot photographers! These photos are amazing! Ok, so really Catherine is the one who is smokin’ and such a natural in front of the camera! This girl can spontaneously giggle better than anyone I’ve ever seen in my life – it was fabulous! Thanks for making us look so good Catherine! We can’t wait for your wedding. :)
