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.

The Cove Park Engagement - Kristina + Ben

"I find it incredibly amazing how at every sunset, the sky is a different shade. No cloud is ever in the same place. Each day is a new masterpiece. A new wonder. A new memory".- Sanober Khan

We didn't have to travel far for this couple's photos, but we love that they chose to use locations in Farragut for the backdrop of this engagement. Kristina and Ben, who were engaged in December and did have to make the journey from Illinois, wanted to have sentimental and meaningful locations, and the most important must have was the lake. 

We ventured into the woods by Kristina's family home with this super active couple for some playful and romantic shots creek side. We were thrilled when they volunteered to get in the creek despite the somewhat chilly weather, so we could catch some beautiful moments of the two. 

Our final planned stop took us to Cove Park, where Kristina and Ben strolled together on the sand; however, we spotted a beautiful dock on the way here and just couldn't get the image of the sun setting on the lake out of our minds, so we asked if the two were down for some additional photos. What a great decision this was! There is nothing like a sunset glimmering on the water with a gorgeous couple in the foreground!

We are super pumped to share these photos, and we can't wait for Kristina and Ben's big day at Mill and Mine in September. Enjoy these newly created memories!
