Nikki & Brian's Elkmont Campground Engagement
We were so excited to meet Nikki and Brian at the Elkmont Campground for this gorgeous engagement shoot. This Alabama couple was vacationing in the Smoky mountains and wanted a unique setting for their save the dates.
This sweet couple brought along their adorable dog, Scout, and we were happy to catch some endearing moments between the three along the streams of the campground. Some of our favorite shots, however, were taken at an overlook just past the Laurel Falls hiking trails.
Take a peek at these mountain engagement photos, and look out for Nikki and Brian's Alabama wedding feature on our blog in the fall.
Inara & Cody's Modern Bohemian Wedding - The Stables at Hunter Valley Farm
An absolutely beautiful bride; a handsome, happy groom; and a group of fun loving friends and family celebrating with them made Cody and Inara's big day at The Stables at Hunter Valley Farm a truly memorable one. The Stables feature a gorgeous outdoor ceremony venue underneath a canopy of tall trees, a stone-paved path beneath a large pergola, and rustic fences lining the property. We loved the mix of wooden chairs and classic pews for guests to witness the union of these two as well as the spacious reception area that truly embodies the feel of a stable but with elevated elegance.
Inara's gorgeous lace gown fit her like a glove, and we adored the variety of bridesmaid's dresses. Cute, sparkly flats ensured the girls would be comfortable, so they could dance alongside the couple throughout the night. Shades of pink, purple, and cream in the bouquets and centerpieces by Swank Floral added the perfect pop of color and complemented the neutral tones of the girls' dresses. Cody and his groomsmen kept it simple, forgoing traditional coats and three piece suits in favor of stylish suspenders and gray Converse. These guys were great sports, creating one of our favorite moments (and photos) of the day when they decided to playfully toss leaves into the air together.
Stealing a few moments alone after the ceremony, Inara and Cody took a stroll down a grassy path and were greeted by horses who popped their heads over the fence at the most opportune moments for us to capture a few shots. We hope you enjoy these photos from the couple's special day, and join us in congratulating them again!

Chelsea and Luke's Cove Park Engagement
Chelsea and Luke are truly a couple that are meant to be. After parting ways when they were a bit younger, the two reunited and have been together ever since. We loved that these two wanted to spend their day with us in the parks of West Knoxville, and we were even more thrilled that they brought their two adorable pups along for the fun.
We started our afternoon with this sweet couple at the Cove at Concord Park where we captured moments of them strolling on the beach, adventuring out onto a ledge in the water, and admiring the beautiful fall colors. Late October was truly the perfect time for an engagement shoot in order to capture all of the changing colors but still have some nice, warm weather.
From here, we traveled to Walker Springs Park to spend a little time on the picturesque bridge capturing this couple as well as snapping some lovely moments of the entire family (obviously, dogs included) playing amidst the multicolored fall leaves. Although we did get rained on a bit at the end of shoot, Chelsea and Luke were troopers, and we really enjoyed parading through the parks with them.
We are super excited about Chelsea and Luke's wedding at the Crowne Plaza in April, but, in the meantime, enjoy these tender moments from the Vol fans' engagement shoot!
