Jenna+Josh: The Wedding 06.06.09

Hello everyone! This week we want to share with you some of our favorites from Jenna and Josh's wedding in the mountains at Brother's Cove near Pigeon Forge. We knew the wedding was going to be fun because we had a blast at their engagement session back in April (check those photos out here). Jenna and Josh had a beautiful day filled with a ton of cool details that Jenna did herself. If there's a Bride DIY Hall-of-Fame, I hear-by nominate Jenna Bryant!

Enjoy the show!


Danielle was freaked out that some of the cabins at Brother's Cove were on stilts like beach houses clinging to a ridge. She's just a wee bit afraid of heights and this was the cabin the girls were getting ready in, which is, of course, where I left her while I went to photograph the dudes in their cabin. :)


But all that height leads to some cool views. This is Jenna's mom chilling out on the back porch.


It's easy to impress me... I've never seen nail polish in a pen form. Apparently neither had Danielle or Beth. Of course, I don't know why I would have seen it before. It's not like I cruise the cosmetic aisle at Walgreens. I just thought it was cool.


Um, I don't remember what's going on here, but it sure looks funny!


The beautimus bride!


How cool is a bride who plays pool? I was going to school her in some 8-ball, but I figured it would be rude of me to lose all my money to a girl on her wedding day.


I made Danielle experiment with getting some portraits (soon she'll be completely ready to take over and I can sleep in on Saturdays!) and this was one of my favorites she captured of Jenna hamming it up for the camera.


Josh waiting to see his lovely bride.


And the big reveal! We get asked a lot about our stance on couples seeing each other beforehand and here's the official Hope Photo response: It's completely up to you! Cool moments can be had either way and it really comes down to a personal preference and timing thing.





Danielle loves her some free space in her images. That's cool... she's got her own style and it works!


Josh.





I think I was doing a few of Jenna solo while Danielle found Josh waiting patiently in the heat under their pink parasol.


Speaking of the parasol, Jenna painted it herself. Told you - DIY queen!

The kiss!


The rose petal assault!


A few details from the day.


No, my sensor isn't THAT dirty. The one obstacle we all had to overcome were the bugs (all the little black dots in the sky). The Brother's Cove crew did all they could do, but they were little persistent buggers. Just that time of year I guess.


Now... dip!


Too funny!


A little self portrait hail mary.


KissyFace.

That's it! Thanks J&J for the fun day!

I'm not trying to whine; I greatly appreciate any and all comments we get no matter where they are posted. But the blog needs a little love too. ;)

Coming soon: Our good pal Steven Bridges' had another boy! Well, he didn't; his lovely wife Erika did all the hard work. I'll share some photos from my visit with little Ty.
