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!

Knoxville Senior Photography-Trintge

Okay, we go from a cute baby to a cute senior! Meet Trintge (yeah I don't think I pronounced her name right during the entire session)! :)

Trintge is an aspiring photographer who wanted some artsy senior pics in the Old City. We walked around shooting for almost 2 hours! Here are the results:

I think the neat criss-cross affect in the stairs is my favorite in this one!

She has a great smile.

Love this one!

Always shooting through stuff!

Another one of my favorites.

Even used the train tracks and didn't get into trouble!

Thank you, Trintge for a great session! Good luck with your future after graduation!

Knoxville Senior Photography - Kathryn

Hey everyone!

It's that time of year. The time of year when flowers start blooming, the grass gets greener and high school seniors every where are preparing to graduate! We love seniors. Senior portraits are so fun to photograph because of getting to know the many different personalities of these young adults.

Kathryn was no exception. It was really great getting to know her personality because it is so much like ours (scary, I know)! We had such a great time with her and her mom at the Knoxville Botanical Gardens and in downtown Knoxville.



You know that if there's something around for me to shoot through then I'm gonna do it!

Love that smile!





Her eyes are just stunning.

Can't decide which one of the next three I like the best...?





Kathryn is on the Cross Country team in school. That is awesome. The only time that Wes or I run is when we are being chased by something larger than us. :)

Love this one!

Love this one even more!









Not sure whose car this is, but if we are doing a photoshoot and you leave your cool old car just parked on the side of the street, we're gonna be using it as a prop!

Thank you so much Kathryn for letting us capture your senior pics! Good luck in college!

If you know of any high school seniors needing some awesome senior photos, send them our way! We'd love to do more sessions like this one!
