The Quarry - Knoxville Wedding Venue - Wedding Inspiration
We welcomed spring with this styled couple's shoot at The Quarry nestled in west Knoxville. Our model, Denise, embraced one of the hottest trends this season with her two piece gown-- a sequined silver crop top paired with a flowing blush skirt. Alexander kept it simple with a white button up and always classic gray slacks, and his bow tie only added to his dapper appearance.
The Quarry is a venue that boasts both indoor and outdoor spaces, but it is The Canyon that makes this venue an ideal location for outdoor events. Our couple stood amidst the towering marbled quarry walls, and strolled along the perfectly centered stone path towards the grand 25 foot waterfall also on the property.
The bouquet and boutonnière by Melissa Timm incorporated shades of pink, cream, and the always quintessential spring color, lavender. We love the free flowing nature of the florals that paired flawlessly with the moss, stones, and lanterns used as decor for the ceremony site. The quaint ceremony site for this shoot was made up of dark benches adorned with white furs, and the ornate chandelier surrounded by draped fabric hung above a natural rug where the couple could share a memorable first kiss as husband and wife.
The couple also braved a trek to an overlook on the property in order for us to capture some some breathtaking moments of love among the blooming red buds. This spring inspiration from The Quarry is the perfect way to embrace the sunshine, warmer weather, and new beginnings.

Walnut Hill Farm Engagement - Jessica & Andrew
We traveled to this gorgeous venue, Walnut Hill Farm in Dalton, Georgia, on a cool fall morning to meet Jessica and Andrew for their engagement session. Despite the chill in the air, these two warmed it up with their beautiful smiles and clearly evident love for each other. The couple was game for anything, and we were excited to meet them early to capture this spectacular sunrise behind the mountains.
When we first spoke to the couple, they shared their engagement story, which we loved. They are super outdoorsy, and Andrew decided to propose on a fishing trip. When Jessica wasn't catching anything, he offered to change her lure. Little did she know, he was replacing her lure with an engraved one that stated, "This fish is a keeper. Will you marry me?" We loved their sweet and intimate proposal story, and we were thrilled that they chose us to capture not only these perfectly romantic photos but also their wedding in the spring at Walnut Hill Farm.
Join us in wishing a congratulations, again, to Jessica and Andrew.
Relix Variety Theatre Wedding - Kari & Ben
We love it when our couples choose a significant or sentimental location for their wedding, a place that has meaning to their story together. Kari and Ben did just that with their Relix Variety Theatre wedding. When the two first started dating, they both lived minutes from the venue, so this area holds a special place in their hearts and journey together, and we were so thrilled to be part of it.
Ben and Kari chose to do a first look, and we captured the moments as the two had an emotional exchange of wedding gifts. We took advantage of a super cool alley and all of its character for some perfect couple's shots. You may remember the sweet images of these two on their bikes from their engagement, and we decided to incorporate the classic bicycle again in some of our favorite shots from their big day.
Relix features a nice loft where Kari and her bridesmaids spent their time prepping together and another apartment just on the back of the building for Ben and his fellas. Our favorite detail in this venue is the super unique wall decor made up of purses and handbags of various colors woven together, and the addition of a backdrop of twinkling lights during the ceremony made this couple shine as they shared their vows from the stage.
One really cool part of the couple's details was that the programs and invitations were from Ben's personal Etsy shop, ThPrntShp. Personalized items like this (and their adorable bicycle cake topper) made their wedding a true standout. The color pallette, including pops of yellow and lavender in the dried florals, evoked a fall vibe, as did the incorporation of cotton in the centerpieces and bouquets. The gorgeous neutral dresses that the bridesmaids and Kari wore really stood out. We loved that Kari allowed each of her bridesmaids to choose her own dress in white to ensure that each was comfortable, and they looked amazing combined with her phenomenal lace gown (seriously, that dress was made for her) and the guys' gray suits and Ben's snazzy bowtie.
The day was filled with love, laughter, and personalized details that made this couple's day truly unique, and we are excited to share their wedding today. Congratulations, again, Kari and Ben.
