Sophia and Robert married at The Barn at High Point Farms - between them as a beautiful pair, their choice of decor, and the loveliness of the setting, it was magical. See why here!

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.
