I am pretty sure all 4 things mentioned in the title of this post were accomplished two weeks ago when Kendrah and Karlis tied the knot at the beautiful Potomac Point Winery in Stafford, VA. Kendrah and Karlis’ wedding wrapped up my first season as a wedding photographer, and I don’t think I could have ended on a higher note. These two are amazing, their friends and family are amazing and this wedding was nothing short of amazing as well. Kendrah and Karlis thank you for inviting me into your lives and for allowing me to document such an important day. Congrats!

A HUGE thank you to Jaime Windon aka The Blonde Photographer for second shooting with me. I always have a great time when you are with me!

It took an army to button all of the buttons on Kendrah’s dress. I think she was just thankful they were all there, someone stole all of the buttons off of her dress while it was still in the bridal shop!

Kendrah and Karlis were just about to eat dinner and I said just one more shot, the sky is amazing. Without hesitation they dropped their forks and ran outside. Thanks again for doing that you two. This is one of my favorites!

Candy. Costumes. Goblins and Ghouls. What’s not to love. Happy Halloween!!!

A cupcake, the hot air balloon of death (not balloon boy- this costume is much cooler and did not attract national attention!), and of course the cutest little chicken in the whole world…bock, bock! I made all three of their costumes, what else was I supposed to do in my free time:) Sleep?!

Two weeks ago I headed over to Mrs. Devon’s house to photograph her brand new baby boy, Mitchell. Mrs. Devon used to watch my kids, so it was quite a nice change to head over to her house to visit with her and Mitchell.  I think I tried a million and one different things on this baby and I now have the deepest respect for women that solely photograph newborns in a studio. It is harder than it looks!! Here is what I was able to capture. Devon thank you for having me, this little guy is so cute and I know that you and James are so happy that he is finally here!  Congrats!

A few weeks ago I met up with Sam, Daphne and Noah for a late afternoon family session at the Grist Mill near Norris Dam. We had perfect weather and as you can tell from the pictures this is one adorable family. Thank you Sam, Daphne and Noah for spending your Sunday evening with me. I had a great time!

From my wedding tonight, more to come…

Carrie&Landon-2blog

Two weeks ago Carrie and Landon were married at the Graystone Presbyterian church near downtown Knoxville. When I met these two earlier this year in Savannah, I instantly fell in love with them. They are fun, easy going and completely in love. It poured during their entire engagement session (which can be seen here) and I thought we were headed for more of the same on their wedding day. Fortunately,  mother nature smiled upon these two and gave them blue skies for most of the day. Carrie & Landon I have thoroughly enjoyed the time that I have spent with the two of you! I wish you both a lifetime of laughter and love… I am 100 percent sure there will never be a shortage of either in your house. Enjoy and Congratulations!!

Carrie and Landon decided to do a first site, which allowed me to grab a few quick pictures of just the 2 of them alone. Please notice the stained glass window behind them, see no evil, hear no evil, speak kiss no evil. I didn’t realize this until after I had already taken this shot. haha

After a quick bubble send off, we all headed over to Calhoun’s on the river for a night of dinner, dancing and  ALOT of singing!

We headed over to Volunteer Landing for a few quick shots while the rest of the wedding guests arrived at the reception. I LOVE this tree and this picture.

Carrie’s dad is not only one heck of a dancer but he sings too! The picture below is Carrie’s reaction to her dad singing to her!

After her dad was done singing, the guys serenaded Carrie. You’ve lost that loving feeling!
