Greg and Stephanie's Traditional West Knoxville Wedding
It was a day full of love, happy tears, simple elegance, and true celebration. We are so thrilled to share Greg and Stephanie's West Knoxville wedding today.
Our day began with the couple at Embassy Suites, a hidden gem and truly lovely indoor venue, as they prepped for their big day. We absolutely loved Stephanie's traditional lace gown with shimmering embellishments as well as her choice of full length navy bridesmaids dresses complimented by beautiful white and green floral arrangements. The couple's first look at Founders Park at Campbell Station allowed the two to share some intimate moments before joining their bridal party for some playful shots.
The Catholic ceremony took place at St. John Neumann, a gorgeous church adorned with stained glass windows, intricate stone statues, and rich wooden pews. We loved having a moment to grab some bridal portraits of Stephanie outside in front of the oversized doors amongst a stone façade.The surroundings added reverence for the true meaning of the day, the joining of their lives as one before God, family, and friends.
The reception, held in the Tennessee Ballroom at Embassy Suites, featured elegant centerpieces created by the groom's mother, and incorporated some awesome dance moves and a little bit of karaoke from the couple. A sparkler exit ended the perfect day for this newly named husband and wife.
We hope you enjoy Stephanie and Greg's big day as much as we did!

Ashley & Matt's Whitestone Country Inn Wedding
As seen on...
We spent a sunny September Saturday photographing Ashley and Matt's gorgeous wedding at Whitestone Country Inn. This was a true celebration and a day full of joy, which is clearly evident from the bride's expressions in these photos throughout the day.
We loved capturing some adorable photos of Ashley and her bridesmaids having a little fun before a sentimental and truly perfect first look between the bride and her father. His reaction was priceless as was their playful, surprise choreographed dance at the reception. The day also featured an unexpected wedding party member, Ashley's adorable pup, Rubie, adorned with a floral collar.We also loved that Ashley and Matt requested a first look with the groom blindfolded so that they could share an intimate moment before the ceremony but also maintain the tradition of the groom seeing the bride for the first time as she walked down the aisle to meet him.
Whitestone Country Inn features a lovely chapel with lots of natural light and beautiful wooden doors embellished with stained glass crosses. Starting with a ring warming where all the guests had a chance to hold the couple's rings and say a silent prayer or blessing, Ashley and Matt's ceremony incorporated the exchanging of personalized vows.
The couple loves to travel together, and during the reception, guests were seated at tables decorated with photos in locations the two have visited. Rustic details, classic elements, and spectacular bouquets and floral head pieces for the girls added special touches to make Ashley and Matt's day even more elegant.
Join us in congratulating Ashley and Matt, and enjoy these pictures from their special day.
