Thanks for finding us and for sharing that very special occasion with us.  We so enjoyed working with you.  Congratulations and we wish you the very best.

I met Whitney and Junstin this afternoon (their wedding was last night) at the Sevier County Courthouse.  The town was deserted, so we could wander around just about anywhere, and we had a blast.  We shot on the courthouse steps, in the middle of the street, on a park bench, in a fountain.  Much easier to do when there’s no traffic.

If you’re planning a wedding here, what a great way to take advantage on the dress you’ve planned to wear only one day, but take it to a different dimension.  We really don’t “trash” the dress… just abuse it a little

The first image was actually taken on her wedding day, but I just wanted to go ahead and get it out there.  Whitney is a music teacher, so we needed a little musical connection for one of her portraits.

See?  It really is all about you…

It was really hot and muggy, hence the soft focus look in a few of these images.  It was because the lens fogged immediately when we walked outdoors, so I just used it for a cool effect rather than try to fight it.

If you ever get over there I highly recommend taking a walking photo tour.  We learned a lot about the history and found some fun “off the beaten path” places to shoot.  Here are some of my favorites from the trip.

If you’re interested in an Engagement Session or some fun family shots, let’s take a little trip over to the beach!!!

I’m so happy that Mary Lee knew that she wanted this day documented and was willing to trust me to get the memories in the camera which will last for many years to come.  I think she’ll be happy with them…

I’d also like to thank the nice people at Eight Gables Inn for sending Mary Lee and Dave my way.  We always appreciate referrals!

Here are some more highlights…

Sara is so artistic.  She had all sorts of ideas for signs and treats for the guests, then made most of it herself.

These folks and their families are some of our favorites this year.  Maybe they’ll come back for a 1st anniversary session… we’d love that.

Here’s a short slideshow for Coti and Craig…
