I was happy to join other wedding vendors at a fabulous styled wedding shoot at Hiwassee River Weddings in Polk County.  Beautiful work done in a gorgeous setting - and yes, this could be your wedding!

The setting for Elizabeth and Matthew's engagement session was Washington DC, offering a unique perspective of our nation's capital, including the US Capitol Building.  A busy town makes for some challenges but that did not stop us from making great images.

I am honored and happy to announce that I will be serving on the 2018 Board of Directors for Candoro Marble Arts and Heritage Center.  

The bride wanted something special for her groom and the groomsmen, to show them that they were heroes in her life.  Check out some shots done in the Peter Kern Library bar and the "super hero" shot.

Kelee and Alex brightened an overcast autumn day at the Knoxville Botanical Gardens with their love.  Come see the images from their engagement session!

If we took photography too seriously, why bother?  I love fun couples and these two are a pair of aces!

I like to say there is magic in the mountains, which was certainly on display during Katie and Nick's wedding at the Appalachian Clubhouse in the Elkmont area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park - check it out!

Even a second marriage deserves a new tradition.  So why not a parade?  Read how Celia and Gary led their guests to the wedding!

Some images are exceptional and deserve their own collection and customized storage.  I am very pleased to offer this gorgeous import from Italy's Graphistudio, their image folios.  If you are looking for an extraordinary way of displaying your images, consider this!

Once upon a time, there was a smart couple who asked their guests to put the cameras, cell phones, and iPads away.  And their ceremony was unmarred by glowing screens.  But look what happens when that step is overlooked!

Bekah and Shea's engagement session took place in a location that is very special to them - the fabulous Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina!.  I always include an engagement session with my wedding packages - read here to find out why!

When your faith is important to you, then it becomes important for your wedding photographer to appreciate the traditions within it at your wedding.  My Catholic faith is strengthened whenever I shoot a Catholic nuptial Mass because it reflects Heaven on Earth, and there are beautiful moments within it.  Come see Frances and Ian's images from the oldest Catholic church in Tennessee, in Nashville.

Where were you on August 21, 2017?  I was looking up, along with a couple of thousand people, at Tsali Notch winery in Madisonville, TN, during the Great Solar Eclipse of 2017!  Come see my photos and find out how to propose with style - as James did when he asked Brittney for her hand in marriage during an eclipse!  

What do you get when you add Star Wars, Star Trek, The Princess Bride, Harry Potter, and Photoshop?  Why, magic, of course!  Take a look at the whimsical wedding of Lucie and Sean, and see how my digital darkroom skills helped bring to life a summoning charm!

I had the privilege to join with some UK colleagues to shoot Dania and Suroor's beautiful wedding in Southern California last April.  If you want to see one beautiful couple, check out these images.  I love Desi weddings!

When Alex had his girlfriend, Lexi, wake up early to hike to Laurel Falls in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, she had no idea what was in store.  Read on about a marriage proposal beside the GSMNP's best known cascade.

Monica is a smart bride - she made use of her hair and makeup trial to suit up and do bridal portraits before her wedding.  What a great way to make your wedding day less stressful by freeing up some time, as well as to take advantage of a special setting.  Be like Monica!

If youth is wasted on the young, Celia and Gary are taking it back with their attitude!  Come and see their engagement pictures, photographed at the historic Swann Plantation in Sevierville, TN.

Whereas some things change, others remain the same - and one thing, besides the antics of grooms and groomsmen, is the value of a wedding album.  In this post, I talk about the new album company I use and provide a #flashbackfriday using my parents' own album from 1956!

We hiked and we climbed, but it was worth it to capture these images from Frances and Ian's engagement session at the Narrows of the Harpeth outside of Nashville.  Put on your boots and let's go!
