Newport Wedding Photography - Marissa + Nate 05.14.11

Happy Wednesday everyone! Grab a comfy chair and be prepared to be blown away by Marissa and Nate's absolutely beautiful wedding. I'm going to go ahead and warn you that I'll run out of adjectives to describe this one. I hope you're not offended by "awesome" "gorgeous" "fabulous" "beautiful" "rad" "cool" "amazing" "aaaaaahmazing" or "absolutely aaaaaahmazing". ;)

Marissa and Nate got married at her grandmother's house in Newport. The weather, being typical East Tennessee weather, teased them all week long leading up to the wedding. Rain and wind and more rain can all throw a kink in the plans of an outdoor wedding, but thankfully it held off on the day of the ceremony and made for some gorgeous light and clouds for us to shoot with. Marissa and Nate and their families worked so hard on this wedding and I think it shows.

I'll shut up know and let the photos do the talking...

I say this with a staunch record of being a heterosexual male… Marissa's dress was amazing!!


Danielle got creative with the shoes.


Hair and makeup.






OMG (Oh my gorgeous!!)




What a beautiful bouquet!


For a beautiful bride! :)


Nate in the crow's nest.




Nate and his boys were a bunch of cutups.


Marissa's mom and brother give the ceremony a thumbs up.


All of the groomsmen tossed Nate their keys as they walked down the aisle. Anyone know why? They were all tight-lipped (but laughing) about it after the ceremony.


A bride emerges!


Look at that yummy light!


Oops, did the officiant (also Nate's dad) just call Marissa "Nate"? Yep, but we all had a laugh about it. ;)


Now kiss! And dip! Dip-kiss!


And party like a rockstar on your way out!


The dip-kiss reenactment for our photographic entertainment.


Aren't they cute?


Nate and his boys brought some toys to show off for a few photos.


And as always, the disclaimer that no guns were loaded during the photos. We triple checked.


Marissa even got in on the action.


I had to do some old school funk on this one.


Look at that car! A '56 Cadillac that a family member brought to the wedding and let us do some photos with. What a sweet, sweet ride!






We could have stayed in this car shooting all day. Literally. This sucker was so roomy inside that I could have moved in, gotten cable and a mini-fridge and you wouldn't see me for a month.




Sweet!


This one couldn't be more perfect.


(Cup)cake wars!


Swoon! (Danielle's angle.)


Swoon! (My angle.)


Again, Danielle's...


And mine. It sure is awesome having two talented photographers working the same wedding. ;)


Yay!!


Don't mess with Nate. He'll tackle you.




I bet you want an Oreo now, huh?


Those guys really didn't want him getting the garter.


The parting view as a guest drives off. What a beautiful sky!


Marissa and Nate, thank you! What an absolutely amazing wedding! Congratulations!!

Did you ever find out what the whole key-throwing thing was about?

Rachael Allex said...

Wow you guys rock this wedding! I think the best work I've seen you guys do. Amazing :-)

To The Joneses....The tossing of the keys was a joke. In a roundabout way, his friends were saying "Here's your chance to run." It was all in good fun. I was certainly honored to have furnished the car for Nate and Marissa. It's the only thing he asked for. How could I refuse my favorite nephew? hahaha They are truly a great couple and ALL of the photos turned out great. It was a beautiful wedding.
