Barn at Chestnut Springs Wedding | Samantha and Mark | Pigeon Forge Wedding

Barn at Chestnut Springs Wedding Barn at Chestnut Springs wedding of Samantha and Mark was what every couple traveling in East TN in the fall dreams of! Think perfect weather, colorful leaves, the smell of a fire (for smores of course), and your closest friends and family. That is what their day looked like! It was perfect, but then again every Barn at Chestnut Springs wedding is! Tennessee To Arizona This year I flew out to Arizona to photograph Sam and Mark’s engagement session.

Summer White Barn At Cruze Farm Wedding

White Barn At Cruze Farm Wedding In Knoxville, TN Cruze Farm ice cream is all the buzz, but did you know that Cruze Farm actually has a wedding venue too? The wedding venue is called The White Barn at Cruze Farm and it’s located just a few miles outside of Knoxville on the family farm!

Great Smoky Mountains Summer Wedding || Jacob and Kaylee

Great Smoky Mountains Summer Wedding Have you ever attended a Great Smoky Mountains summer wedding? If you have then you understand what I’m about to say…it is simply stunning. Any excuse to go to the Smoky Mountains is a treat for me, but when I get to photograph a wedding there it is even more special. When I view the mountains I’m reminded of the word home, a place where everything is at peace and the world stops for just a moment. I think everyone who comes to these old mountains takes a piece of “home” with them. That is the reason why so many people keep returning year after year. Wedding Day I think Jacob and Kaylee have the

Summer Whitestone Wedding || Ross and Leslie

Summer Whitestone Wedding This summer Whitestone’s wedding was a dream! Ross and Leslie for sure had a wedding to remember. If you have ever been to Whitestone Country Inn then you understand why their wedding was so dreamy! This East TN wedding venue has the most amazing views of the mountains and it’s also on the water. Add in horses grazing in the field and a white picket fence and you have the perfect setting for a gorgeous wedding. This wedding venue holds such a special place in my heart. My mentor built it almost 30 years ago. I’ve had the privilege of staying at this venue so many times and I know every amazing photo shot there is. My

2400 Miles & Huckleberry Pancakes || Cross Country Drive

Cross Country Drive 2021 Today makes day 8 that I’ve been on my cross country drive. I can’t believe that I actually did it! A cross country drive has been on my bucket list for years, but because I needed to do it in the summer months I’ve never been able to. Summer months mean wedding season for this photographer, which also means less travel during peak season. This year things looked a little different, I had back-to-back weddings and then a few weeks off (never happens) so I decided to go! I’m still debating if a cross country drive was the best choice. There have been some major bumps in the road (pun intended) but here I am in
