Kayla held her Papaw’s hand as they walked toward the ceremony site at Coolidge park.  When he saw Morgan his eyes lit up and he gave her the sweetest hug.  It was so sweet to how much love he had for both of these women!  He told me “Kayla is our girl, she has always […]

Am I dreaming?  Did I really get to photograph a real engaged couple in Yosemite National Park?!  I simply can’t believe this actually happened!  I still can’t believe I got to shoot Yosemite engagement photos! We hit three locations in the park: Yosmeite Valley, Glacier Point, and Taft Point and all three was stunning!  The […]

I was alone on a cliff a 100 yards away from the overlook that I knew something special was about to happen. I was sweating and nervous and shaking. At any moment I would see Ryan and Hope walk out on the rock. Then he was going to ask Hope to marry him. I can’t […]

Sunrise sessions are my favorite!  Just like Missy is Jim’s favorite!  I had the best time with Jim, Missy, and Lizzie on this beautiful Saturday morning in downtown Chattanooga!  Sunrise/early morning is absolutely the best time for Coolidge Park Engagement photos because this is the only time of day when the light is nice and […]

I love a vintage wedding and pretty much anything that’s considered “Old”.  This is why we dreamed up this shoot at The Read House in Chattanooga.  It is the perfect blend of high-end new finishings with a nostalgic and vintage setting.  This “Read House Wedding” has all the glamour of old hollywood and the sophistication […]

Holly and I have been close friends for years.  We have seen each other through a lot of tough and happy times.  We have hared more than few girls nights and therapy sessions.  To say I’m proud of her and how she has grown is an understatement.  We are very different and scarily similar in […]

All of Ari and Adam’s family and friends were on the dance floor.  They were full of laughter and joy as they all moved to the music.  In the midst of all the celebrating Adam & Ari caught my eye.  The world was moving around them but they only had eyes for each other.  They […]

I think a lot of planning for any event is weighing the pros and cons and thinking about what you might regret doing or not doing.  Planning a wedding is no exception, especially since it is a once in a lifetime event with a ton of tradition and meaning.  Recently I asked the married individuals […]

Caty & Simon got married at her grandmother's private estate inside the Sandestin resort in Florida.  They fell in love chatting by the water so it only made since they say their vows here too.

It's not every wedding that starts with a luxury car in a venue styled like a tuscan villa and ends with karaoke and fireworks!  This wedding was EPIC!
