Cincinnati Roebling Bridge & City Engagement - Amber & Nathan
We always have a blast traveling to capture amazing moments with our couples, and our weekend trip to Cincinnati to meet up with Amber and Nathan was no exception.
The couple decided on two primary locations for their engagement session, the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge and Cincinnati Music Hall, both sentimental for these two. How could we not love the blue bridge hanging over the Ohio River and surrounded by some of the city's most beautiful sites? Our favorite moments getting to know this couple involved a series of shots where we were all moving in and out of the street for passing cars, as the couple laughed playful and danced between the large brick entryway. These two were game for anything, and we appreciated their perfect styling and true naturalness.
Music Hall, just beyond Washington Park, provided an elegant backdrop for some additional city shots, but we really enjoyed spending time over ice cream with Amber and Nathan at a local candy store, Schenider's Sweet Shop. These candid moments were so much fun to experience with the two, and we could truly see their love and joy as they laughed and shared a cone of mint chocolate chip.
We cannot wait for Amber and Nathan's wedding alongside Norris Lake in August, but for now, we hope you enjoy this Cincinnati engagement.
Cades Cove Smoky Mountains Engagement - Alexis & Brett
Alexis and Brett love the outdoors, so what better place to take some sweet engagement photos than the Smoky Mountains? We were happy to meet this adorable couple on a sunny afternoon for a session in the park.
We had a blast getting to know these two, who have been together for about four years and were traveling from Florida to check out wedding venues in Tennessee. Some of our favorite shots took place by an old mill, and we loved the incorporation of personalized chalkboard signs for some playful photos as well.
Take a peek at Alexis and Brett's mountain memories, and join us in congratulating them again.
Elizabeth & Nick's Laurel Falls Engagement
Elizabeth and Nick are a Louisiana couple who contacted us when they were making a family trip to the Smoky Mountains. They wanted a unique engagement shoot different from those in the bayou, and we were so happy to oblige.
We decided to go on a hike to capture some sweet moments not only between the two but also some great memories with their son, Nathan. We loved that this cute little blonde was such an integral part of these memories for the couple, and he was so playful and helpful despite being quite cold by the end of journey back from Laurel Falls.
This was a fairly easy hike, but the breathtaking overlooks, quaint bridge at the top, and gorgeous waterfall provided the perfect canvas for these shots.
We hope you enjoy these mountain engagement and family photos!
Robertha & Wes's Cades Cove Smoky Mountain Engagement
Robertha and Wes are such a cute and stylish couple, and we were so thrilled to have the opportunity to take their engagement photos when they were visiting the mountains with Wes's family and celebrating his birthday.
We met up with this couple in smoky mountains and drove through together, stopping at various locations in the National Park to capture Robertha and Wes among the gorgeous scenery. We loved the initial photos taken of this couple strolling through an overgrown field and of the two cuddling in the perfect picnic spot with a mountain backdrop. The smoky mountains also features a picturesque mill and bridge as well as several quaint homes and cabins, and we loved that we had an opportunity to snag a few shots of the couple within these rustic settings.
We hope you love this Smoky Mountain engagement as much as we do! Please join us again in wishing congratulations to Robertha and Wes!
Louis and Megan's Downtown Knoxville Engagement
We have known this couple forever, and we are thrilled to share these sweet engagement photos with the world. Megan and Louis are some of our best friends, and both were in our wedding, Louis serving as our best man. This shoot and couple are obviously super special to us.
We met our friends at the Williams Creek Golf Course where we captured some cute action shots of the two playing golf, a favorite past time for the couple. We love that this course features beautiful scenery including a small pond and rolling hills that provided the backdrop for their photos. From there, we traveled to Market Square for some more urban shots amongst the always bustling park and along the shops and streets of the area.
To say that we are excited to attend and photograph their wedding in the Dominican Republic next month is an understatement. After 11 years together and our many memories shared with Louis and Megan, we can't wait to see these two tie the knot!

Amanda and Billy's Sunrise Engagment Shoot
We met up with this adventurous couple, Billy and Amanda, at 6:30 am in Sequoyah Park. Even though the overcast day never provided us with the true sunrise we were looking for, we were so thrilled to mix up our normal routine with a daybreak shoot. As soon as we heard their story, we knew we would be starting their engagement session here as this is quite a meaningful location that the two frequent. This is also why we included the adorable cell phone pictures depicting their actual engagement in the same spot during our shoot.
Everything about this session celebrated the lives of these two from the shots cuddling on the quilt (which Billy and Amanda often do together) to the photos taken at Old City Java (a place that they often go for their caffeine fix). Billy shared with us that when the visit the coffee shop, he writes personalized messages on Amanda's cup, so we really wanted to incorporate that special sentiment of the two composing sweet messages for each other.
We so enjoyed spending time with these two love birds, and we are even more excited to capture their big day at Nolichucky Vineyard in October. Enjoy this morning engagement session of an amazing couple, Amanda and Billy.
