When a teacher’s schedule means the wedding must take place in the middle of summer, heat and humidity do not have to matter - instead, a beautiful setting with the gorgeous Krista and Tom turned into a midsummer night’s dream. Check out their wedding held at Howe Farms near Chattanooga.

The mark of a true gentleman is how he treats his friends and presents himself to the world. In celebration of his wedding, Daniel treated his groomsmen and other fellows to some pampering at All City Barber Co. in Chattanooga. Looking fresh and looking clean is the way to walk into your wedding, son!

Here a groom’s portrait is done as an environmental portrait, which offers a chance to show more of a person’s personality as well as a setting that speaks more to whom they are. Wesley’s love of fishing and its connection to the wedding venue is highlighted here - check it out!

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 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.

While helping a friend with a stylized wedding shoot at Jackson Terminal in Knoxville, I did some portrait work of Matias Yanez Cortez.  Matias is a natural in front of the camera.

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.
