Denise, Jarrod and I met up in Cades Cove a few days before their October wedding and had a lovely time exploring the beautiful valley, which is one of my most favorite places EVER.  I never get tired of driving the loop and absolutely never get tired of photographing Cades Cove engagement sessions. Fall was […]

Like so many 2020 weddings, Sara and Bruce originally had a huge Knoxville wedding planned until COVID came into the picture. However, Sara and Bruce gracefully, shifted gears and planned a small, intimate wedding at her childhood home in Johnson City and let me tell you-all – it was absolutely perfect! I’ll be honest, I […]

Being that I was living in Key West until last year, it had been 8 years since I had experienced a true fall season.  I didn’t have a ton of work in Knoxville last year, since it was my first season here, so this was the first fall that I got to get out and […]

Guest Post By Emma Miller – Vow to Be Chic Coordinating wedding outfits is one of the biggest headaches couples have to go through before their wedding day. Ideally, you want you and your bride to match outfits, but not appear too cheesy or too contrasting. At the same time, remember the bridesmaids and groomsmen’s […]
