richard and akiko

I shot Richard and Akiko's wedding back in July.  It was my second wedding with this group of friends.  I met everyone for the first time last May in Gulf Shores when I shot Jacob and Miranda's wedding.  They were all just as fun this time around! 

Richard and Akiko got married at Calvary Baptist on Kingston Pike and their reception was downtown at Club LeConte.  They chose to see each other before the ceremony so we could take our time and have some fun with pictures.  There was this great old stone structure down a pretty scary stairway that was AWESOME!  Walking down wasn't so bad...but it really sucked walking back up. Totally worth it though!

Seeing each other for the first time.

Katie grabbed this shot of me.  Thought you might want to see what I was seeing.  And yes, apparently I do smile the entire time I'm taking pictures.

I think this is my fave.

For those of you who are familiar with The Bleak House...see if you can figure out where I shot this one.

These people were stopped at a red light and we flagged them down to use their car!

coming soon - richard and akiko

I'm madly working away to finish Richard and Akiko's pictures to blog before I leave town tomorrow morning for another fabulous wedding in Virginia.  Here's a sneak peak and stay tuned for more. (hopefully tonight..fingers crossed)

Lila's Invitation

Emily had the cutest invitation made for Lila's first birthday party.  She had designer Jenny Holloway do them.  Jenny is actually married to Ryan who was at Carson-Newman with Emily, Richie, and I.  I know, that's alot of people.  Jenny posted the invite on her blog, so go check it out HERE.

how in the world was this organized?!?!

kevin & rebecca

I'm sorry I don't have many words right now, it's 4am!  I'm trying to take control of this mountain of post production work I have to do.  This means late nights for me, but more blog posts for you!

I shot Kevin and Rebecca's wedding back at the end of June.  They got married in Corryton, TN, the same place we did their e.session back in April.  It was a perfect summer day complete with the yummy yellow late afternoon sun...MY FAVE!!!  While it was a bit on the hot side, it was a great day.  I'm sorry I don't have many words right now, it's 4am!

That is House Mountain in the background. 

I'm very impressed by this tear rolling down Becca's cheek.  It's very Demi Moore in Ghost!

I love sweet parent child dances

Note to future brides.  Birdseed is great, except when you're super sweaty and then it sticks EVERYWHERE!!!

Then they ended the day with a fabulous sunset.
