Knoxville Botanical Gardens Engagement - Kendall + Nathan
These two made the journey from Jefferson City to meet us at the always gorgeous Knoxville Botanical Gardens for this amazingly beautiful engagement. We hit it off with these two instantly, as we made a connection over their profession. Kendall is studying to become a teacher, and Nathan currently teaches history, which we truly respect and admire (as Jason is the son of a teacher and I'm a former teacher of 8 years).
We could not have styled these two any better had we chosen their outfits and accessories ourselves. Nathan's button up and gray pants (funny fact...we're pretty sure Jason had on the exact same pants while photographing this shoot) meshed perfectly with Kendall's phenomenal blush gown. The flattering cut and flowing fabric made this dress a perfect choice for a spring engagement and combined flawlessly with Kendall's touches of gold in her jewelry.
We truly enjoyed spending the evening with these two and getting to know them better, and we cannot wait for their wedding this June. We are so excited to share the memories created with these lovebirds, and we invite you to explore the gardens with us through this elegant engagement.
Sarah & Daniel's Haw Ridge Park Engagement
These high school sweethearts had two classes together when they initially met, and ironically enough one of those was Chemistry, something clearly evident in these adorable engagement photos.
It couldn't have been a more perfect evening to spend with these two at Haw Ridge in Oak Ridge. This park boasts extensive trails that run alongside the Clinch River, and we loved the gorgeous scenery of this location as well as the old fashioned wooden fence and beautiful docks we visited with the couple. Haw Ridge holds a bit of sentimental value for the two as well as they have run the trails together, and we were thrilled to incorporate that sense of nostalgia in these photos.
We had to visit the location where it all started, their alma mater, Hardin Valley Academy, to capture a few intimate moments with Sarah and Daniel. We climbed to the top of a hill overlooking the school with blooming wildflowers and a mountain backdrop, resulting in some of our favorite shots.
We hope you enjoy these moments from Sarah and Daniel's walk down memory lane as a newly engaged couple. Could they be any cuter? We are so excited for their wedding in May!

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.
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.
