Rain Date – Monday, July 11th, 2016
I had such a good time driving over to Maggie Valley, NC to meet up with Amanda and Heath to hang out on the farm. The cows even had a cameo appearance.
Amanda & Heath – Thanks for letting me come hang out with you! I can’t wait for your wedding day!

Jenna Lawson + Chris Darnbush
July 11, 2015
Jenna has dreamed about her wedding day since she was a little girl and has been anxiously awaiting this day with Chris for years now. The two of them couldn’t be more perfect for one another. They are best friends and put each other before themselves. I am so happy for the two of them and honored they allowed me to capture such an important day for them.
Their wedding took place at a relative’s gorgeous 100+ year old home in east Knoxville, TN. The house is filled with southern charm and was the PERFECT spot for Jenna and Chris’s intimate southern vintage wedding.
The two of them opted to keep it simple and not to have a wedding party, but still had a few close friends join them to hang out and get ready for the ceremony. Jenna’s best friend since childhood, Sarah Kirkland, did her make up.
Hair: Ross the Boss
Dress: The Gilded Gown
A little girl’s first love is her daddy, and Jenna wanted a special moment with hers before he gave her away to her new husband. 
Then I ran across the street to spend some time with Chris. Up until this point he had been hanging in the pool with his buddies.
Good way to relax if you ask me!
I knew Chris was a little nervous, so I thought it might help calm his nerves to have a minute with Jenna before the ceremony.
Don’t worry, they didn’t see each other. 
Showtime!
My favorite moment of the day: After they came back down the aisle as husband and wife and no one (but me) was watching, Chris grabbed her and kissed her. Pure joy and excitement. Bliss.
“I loved everything about my wedding day! I had been looking at the weather religiously for weeks and praying for no rain. The morning of the wedding had a few rain showers, but I tried not to worry. There was a light shower during the ceremony, but as soon as the guests made it under the tent, the sky opened up! I thought I would be upset but the rain made our day even more special.”
The reception was lovely, filled with vintage details and incredible food.
Catering/Cake: Karens Katering
Flowers: Powell Florist
Rentals: Rothchild
“After the rain stopped it turned into a beautiful and cool evening filled with all the people we love! I married my best friend and the entire day was as perfect as I had hoped it would be!”
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Darnbush! I love you guys and Im so happy for you!
I remember the first meeting I had with Ally & Michael to discuss their wedding. I could tell right away that they were both really sweet and a perfect match for each other! I really wanted to be the one to capture their wedding day and I was so happy that they booked right away! Their wedding day did not disappoint. It was a day filled with smiles and laughs and an epic Father/Daughter and Bride/Groom First Dance!!!
Remember that epic dance I mentioned….
Dad was reluctant to give up his daughter and he told Michael, “You Can’t Touch This!” But eventually Michael got his girl…
Ally & Michael – Thank you so much for letting me the one to photograph your beautiful wedding! I am going to enjoy watching you two grow together in Christ for many years to come!

Kimberly and Greg had one of the most touching ceremonies that I have been a part of in a long time. When you have two people who are blending their families together, they know what marriage is about and that it is not just about the wedding day. I love how all of their children were an integral part of the ceremony and the minister even had vows for the kids! And of course you can’t go wrong with the wedding itself when you are surrounded by your closest friends and family and the beautiful view at Strong Stock Farms!
Kimberly & Greg – You have an amazing family and I am so happy that I got to be there the day that all six of you became a family!
