Spout Spring Estates Vineyard Wedding - Tabitha & John
A gorgeous mountain view, a beautiful ceremony beneath a tree, and a sweet family (oh, and fire, did we mention fire?) made John and Tabitha's vineyard wedding so special and memorable.
A hidden gem in Blaine, Tennessee, Spout Spring Estates Vineyard was the setting for the couple's ceremony and reception. The venue includes a beautiful stone pathway leading to a huge covered porch surrounding a log cabin and wine shop, but it is the natural scenery- rows of grapes, lush greenery, and a mountain backdrop- that truly took our breath away.
We loved John's reaction to seeing Tabitha during their first look, as the two hugged, kissed, danced, and cried together. Their precious daughter, Rose, was looking on from the balcony where we snapped some shots as well through the cast iron railing. (Speaking of cute kids...did you see their ring bearer?) This cutie was a huge part of their day, being escorted in a wagon during the ceremony and dancing with mom and dad at the reception, but some truly sweet moments occurred prior to the ceremony when Tabitha helped dress Rose just as her mom did for her earlier in the day.
A monogrammed pillow, rustic mailbox, and their favors- beer that they personally brewed and bottled- added special touches to the décor, and we loved the elegant pops of purple in many of the details to tie everything together. John and Tabitha were all about sharing their joy with their guests, and they provided entertainment in the form of a fire dancer and essentially a huge torch for their guests to set afire. They even shared a tequila shot to honor Tabitha's father, which was a profoundly sentimental moment for all involved.
We took John and Tabitha out into the vineyard during sunset to have some time alone, and these couple's photos are some of our favorites. We strolled through the rows of grapes with them and captured some special moments as John escorted Tabitha back to their guests through the green field.
We were happy to shoot this vineyard wedding, and we feel so blessed to have shared in this couple's joy. Congratulations to John and Tabitha, again!

Intimate Sequoyah Park Inspirational Wedding Shoot
Imagine a gorgeous park full of lush greenery amid a historic neighborhood running along the Tennessee River, and you would be in Sequoyah Park, the location for this inspirational shoot. Bringing together some of Knoxville’s most creative wedding vendors, our goal was to capture portraits that featured memorable details, highlighted the intimate moments shared by a couple on their wedding day, and celebrated the charm of the venue. An elegant table set for two with glimmers of gold and stunning floral arrangements set a romantic scene while the ivory gown and hand crafted stationery added a vintage touch. We hope that this shoot inspires couples to take the ordinary and make it extraordinary with a fine art approach and classic styling.
Thank you Trendy Bride for the beautiful feature of our inspiration shoot at Sequoyah Park.

Molly & JT - Backyard Wedding
Molly and JT's intimate wedding took place on the outskirts of the gorgeous Riverview Golf Course in Loudon. Although the rain held off most of the day, the couple shared the moments after their first look cuddling under an umbrella to avoid the sprinkles, and these sweet shots turned out to be some of our favorites.
The wedding featured many DIY elements that were truly original. For example, the bride crafted paper flowers from the pages of a book to decorate the tables, and her one of a kind dress was handmade. The unique bouquets for the wedding party, featuring lavender, combined perfectly with the bridesmaids' sage dresses and touches of baby's breath in their braided hair.
We loved the simplistic charm of this backyard wedding, and we hope you do too.
Inara & Cody - Ijams Nature Center and Meads Quarry Engagement
We are loving this sunny summer weather and were so excited to spend an evening with this adorable couple at Mead's Quarry at Ijams. Inara and Cody are a ridiculously cute and super stylish pair. These two were game for anything during this shoot, and we loved Inara's carefree spirit as she simply kicked off her wedges to do a little rock climbing for some amazing shots with her future hubby.
We can't wait for this couple's wedding in November at The Stables at Hunter Valley Farm which will feature neutral tones and be vintage inspired.
Enjoy these moments from Inara and Cody's playful engagement session!
