Well, we got so busy getting straight to work on the images Melissa and Rhyan’s gorgeous wedding that I completely forgot to share it with you all last week! These two are so much fun, so warm, inviting, and completely in love. Spending their wedding day with them was such a pleasure and a great way to end our 2011 wedding season!

The couple married at the Church of the Advent’s classic stone cathedral downtown, and then danced the night away at The Club, an awesome venue overlooking all of Birmingham.

I love this first look series. Getting to capture a couple as they admire each other for the first time up close is the best. :0)

The fall details and vintage crystal elements were stunning against the candlelight and city lights!

Love the architecture of this church and this awesome wedding party…

Melissa and Rhyan, thank you so much for having us along to document your beautiful memories. Congratulations you guys!

 

I love Hindu ceremonies.  All of the thought that goes into each part – the deliberateness, the symbolism, and intent put toward conveying the gravity of the commitment and the meaning behind it is so beautiful.  When Josh and Rupa came to us, they asked that we take all of that beauty and create artful images that just happened to have them in them.  They wanted the whole picture represented in their wedding photographs and while we were sure to get the close-up emotions as well, it was a lot of fun shooting this wedding with the big picture in mind.  Here are a few of our favorites from the day.  Hope you enjoy them!

The couple was married in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in downtown Knoxville.

I love this pano Sean got just outside of the Knoxville Museum of Art.  Panoramic images are some of our favorites and they always make such great wall art.

The rings…

And finally, the couple’s first dance to a great band on a beautiful evening…

Thanks for looking. =0) Have a great week everyone!

 

I was totally taken with Whitney and Jon’s wedding last weekend. It was the perfect mix of classical inspiration and whimsy. The night was fun, elegant, emotional and beautiful and it couldn’t have happened to a better couple. Congratulations you two! You and your families were such a pleasure.  We wish you many years of happiness together and can’t wait for you and your children to relive the beginning of those years through your beautiful photos!

I love this moment as Whitney and Jon exited the sanctuary as husband and wife for the first time. =)

The reception was held at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center and wedding planner Angela Proffit and floral designer Perri of Oshi Flowers really outdid themselves!

My favorite part was the dessert bars – his and hers.  They were so tantalizing and delicious – I like cake, but this was an awesome alternative.

And finally, the Nashvegas Allstars kept the party rockin’ and made sure everyone had a great time. It was an all around amazing event! Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek!
