CASTLETON FARMS WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY - MAGGIE + RYAN 05.28.12

Wow. There are just some weddings that are so awesome that I wish I could show you every single picture. And that has a lot to do with the cool couples we get to work with. The minute we met Maggie, Danielle and I both knew her wedding was going to rock our socks off. And boy were we right.

Maggie and Ryan had a beautiful little wedding at the Carriage House Gardens at the beautiful Castleton Farms in Loudon County. It was a hot day all around… the temperature was crushing, the bride was stunning and the party was crazy. I hope you enjoy some of my favorites!


Some getting ready action.


It's not every day you ask a bride to hop in bed.


Maggie is such a beautiful bride.








Chicks with 'staches are hot!


Maggie and Ryan wanted to "see" each other without seeing each other before the ceremony.


Castleton Farms is a wee bit pretty.


Love, love, LOVE these! So much you get two for the price of one!


It's important to have real friends as your groomsmen.


Ryan is quite the dapper groom.


The bride and her maids in a moment of prayer before the ceremony. I love moments like this. Takes me back to my photojournalism roots.


This was a neat idea for the guest book… fingerprints as leaves.


A little hug for mom after escorting her in.


Here comes the bride.





Uh… who has the ring?


Puuuuush that thing on there.


Now kiss!





This is my kind of wedding party.


The happy couple.


Love it!





Danielle grabbed this one with her sunflare magic wand.





I thought Danielle was shooting Ryan's butt, but then I noticed the cool cufflinks.


Aren't they cute?





Mr. and Mrs. Berner!


How's that for some ring bling?


I think they were wedding crashers.


First dance.


Followed by break dance.


You know we had to yank them away from the reception for some sunset action.





One airborne groom.


And one airborne bride. I called next, but no one took me up on it.


Cake wars!


Any groom that has the cajones to get in front of the entire wedding and rock out a song to his new bride is a king in my book!





Outta here!

Maggie and Ryan thank you for choosing us to be a part of your wedding! It was a beautiful day and you guys are an awesome couple. Congratulations!!

Knoxville Portrait Photography-Jessie is 2!

Well, we are in the thick of wedding season and there's a very good chance that the next couple of posts will prove that, but I thought we'd take a break and share these pics of an adorable family! We did pics of the Conners last fall and now we had the honor of taking Jessie's milestone pictures as he just turned two!






See, aren't they a cute family?






He's still just as adorable as he was last year!






With daddy and with mommy.






The boy loves these rocks!










Such a sweetie!










A boy and his Pooh! (sorry couldn't resist)










Love those lashes!






The many expressions of Jessie.

Thank you so much Conner family! It was great seeing you guys again!
