Volunteer Princess Cruises Wedding - Danielle & Justin

You may remember Danielle and Justin's playful engagement session at UT Botanical Gardens and Market Square featured on our blog, but today, we are so excited to share their beautifully unique wedding aboard the Volunteer Princess. 

The couple shared a first look at Volunteer Landing before we snapped some shots with their best man and matron of honor, Danielle's sister and a fellow photographer, just above the river. We loved the bride's ivory Maggie Sottero dress featuring an always elegant lace top and a satin slip gown underneath. Pops of color with the deep purple dress and the guys' turquoise ties blended perfectly in the floral arrangements as well. Seriously, do you see that bouquet? Simply stunning!

The ceremony took place on the top level of the Volunteer Princess as we floated along the Tennessee River, and the two shared their first kiss under a beautiful arch adorned with bright purple flowers. Volunteer Princess Cruises serve as a perfect venue for intimate weddings, and the coordinators, captain, and crew provide amazing service. 

Our favorite moment of the evening came when Danielle and Justin shared their first dance that they had been preparing for together in classes. These two glided across the dance floor, and impressed their guests (and us) with their moves!  We also loved their sparkler exit back near the dock as they rode off, cuddled together, on a golf cart. 

We wish nothing but joy to this perfect, fun-loving couple, and we hope you love these images of their special day!

Heather and PJ Engagement Shoot

Hello friends. Juicebeats here.

I am so excited to share with you this Knoxville couple's engagement photos. Saturday, May 31st, I was able to photograph Heather and PJ for their engagement. Heather and PJ have been friends of mine for several years now, and I was excited by the opportunity to photograph them. They are such a great couple, and you can tell that they are so in love.

We decided to do their photo shoot at Volunteer Landing Marina in order to take some beautiful and unique shots at one of Knoxville's most interesting sites. By visiting the marina's bridges, docks, trails, and railroad tracks, we were able to capture some sweet moments.

Heather and PJ are to be wed this December in Cancun, Mexico, and I am looking forward to traveling with them to celebrate their special day.
