Knoxville Wedding Photography - Ashlie + Chuck

Phew! Finally a new blog post!! Things for us have been crazy busy lately, but we finally had a chance to get these pics up for you to see.

We LOVE small weddings. The smaller the wedding, the more intimate they are and the more real-life moments we get to capture. That's why we were super excited when Ashlie contacted us at the end of last year to photograph their super small wedding at their house in March. Ashlie and Chuck met with just their parents and their friend who served as minister in their back yard. It was such a small ceremony, that I even played the role of witness and signed their marriage license! The weather was perfect, the vows were sweet and this couple was a blast! Just see for yourself!

"Here comes the bride…"
Chuck was happy to look down the aisle and see Ashlie heading his way!
A "mother and father of the bride perspective".
Just look at how she smiles at her new hubby.
Perfect setting.

We aren't afraid to go into old, run down, snake-filled sheds to get the cool shots!
See? Totally worth it!




We love making our clients laugh!
These shoes were Ashlie's wedding day splurge. I'm not all "girly" so I'm not sure what kind they are, I just like the color!
Love this one!

I love this one too for some reason.
Every lady needs a good set of pearls.
And then we played in the woods.


A little play on the classic American Gothic.
From my point of view.
From Wes' point of view. See why it's cool to have two photographers that think somewhat differently?!
So sweet!

If you know us at all, then you know that I love shooting through stuff and shooting reflections. This wedding allowed me to do both! Unfortunately, Wes totally photo-bombed this shot! Turd.
i still rocked it though!
You give us an old truck to play with and it's really tough to get us away!
One of our favorite poses when a cool vehicle is present.
One last snuggle.
Congratulations Ashlie and Chuck! We truly loved being a part of your big day! Really wish we could've gone to Ireland with you to celebrate!

Knoxville Wedding Photography - Heather + Kevin 08.09.12

It's easy to forget the core of a wedding sometimes. It's not about all the decorations and the beautiful venues and the yummy food. A wedding simply needs to be two people in love saying their vows. It's cool to get little reminders about how simple and beautiful a wedding can be no matter where it is.

Heather and Kevin called us last minute a couple weeks ago and asked if we were available that day to shoot their wedding at the Knox County Courthouse. Thankfully we were. Kevin is on the road a lot with his job and has a crazy schedule, so while he was home, they decided to just take the opportunity and do it.

We gathered up some gear, called a babysitter, and headed to town. And then a storm hit. Not just a storm, a monsoon. No real worries… we just had to improvise. I had all these ideas to shoot around the courthouse, but we made the inside work. At least I think we did. Let me know what you think. :)

It's not every wedding where the couple has to walk through a metal detector before their nuptials. :)

Heather and Kevin have the cutest (and fearless) little three year-old named Ken. He made quick use of a bannister for entertainment.
We tried doing a few portraits on the front porch of the old courthouse, but it was sooooo dark. I'm telling you, it was pouring rain.
The wind started blowing the rain in on us, so we moved back inside. We found one spot in the county government building that wasn't ugly. And then we put this beautiful bride and handsome guy in it. :)
Aren't they cute?

Ken was a jumper.
I love that look Heather is giving Kevin.
The ceremony.
Married!!

Told you Ken was a jumper. ;)

By the time the ceremony was over, the rain had slacked off. We still couldn't shoot outside, but we went back on the porch for a couple more.

The happy couple!

Thank you so much Heather and Kevin! It was an honor to be a part of your little wedding!
