It's May!  Springtime!  So why is it snowing in the Smokies and what are we going to do about the roads blocked by trees toppled in 98 mph winds?  Despite these conditions, Dustin still got to bring his lady love to the Smokies and ask Brianna to marry him - read their story!

What happens when wedding portraits don't come out as planned?  It's never too late for a do over.  Or, even better - plan to do your wedding portraits on a day apart from your wedding and take advantage of a gorgeous setting and the right time of day.  Here are images done at Ijams Nature Center, part of Knoxville's Urban Wilderness, for a great couple, Megan and TJ.

What could be more romantic than to ride horses along a wooded trail in the beautiful Smoky Mountains to the top, and with the mountains spread out below you, ask for your lady's hand in marriage?  It is great fun for me to not simply photograph a marriage proposal, but to assist the groom-to-be in planning the right spot and making it happen.  The world is my studio - let me be there with you!
