Cara and Devin

Saturday Cara and Devin tied the knot in style... vintage style that is!  This wedding was a dream!  EVERY detail was thought through, from the handmade wedding gown, the handsewn programs and the birdcage veil, to the vintage taxicab!  

Both cakes were made by Devin's mother, Janey, who has supplied cakes in Nashville for stars such as Faith Hill and Shania Twain!! Take one look (and one bite!) and you'll soon know that she really is just THAT good!  

This day was a powerhouse when it came to vendors too!

Jessica Stone from Headquarter's Salon in Cleveland was Cara's hair and makeup artist. I highly recommend her work, as she has done several of our brides and we are always in awe at how natural and gorgeous her styling is.  

Rhon supplied the beautiful flowers and decor for the day and his style was right on the money as usual! Cara's dress designer from New York, Courtney, provided the exquisite custom gown.  We love her work so be sure to check her out--I see her as an up-and-coming designer so watch out! Also, Kathryn and Amanda from Creative Hospitality provided the delicious spread at the reception at Black Fox Farms in Cleveland. Their presentation and service were wonderful so call us for more info on them.  

Thanks to all for making the day so much fun! Enjoy a few shots from the day...I'm sure you'll notice just what an incredibly fun and loving couple these two were!

Cara's parents as the minister presented them to the congregation. Her dad was so happy! ...

Kristina and Carroll's Wedding Day

Beau and I were so happy to spend Saturday with Carroll and Kristina as they celebrated their wedding day!  Both of them are such beautiful souls,  full of energy and good humor!  There was certainly never a dull moment with them, their wedding party or their families!  I haven't laughed that much in a long time.  :) 

Their ceremony took place at the historic Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in downtown Chattanooga. The church was built in the 1890's and the architecture was absolutely stunning! Their reception took place a few blocks from there at the elegant Walden Club, overlooking downtown.  We truly enjoyed celebrating with you both and thank you guys once more allowing us to work with you. 

They had such a cute ring bearer! I loved his toothless grin!

Kristina and her father's dance...

A long time coming...

So we've decided to start showing our pictures some extra love by letting them REALLY have a moment in the spotlight! Basically, we wanted to let you all enjoy your pictures up close and personal with much bigger image sizes.

And then I thought..."Hey, why stop there?!" So I've freshened up the blog even more (its been a long time coming!) to be a little more cohesive with our makeover from this spring. Please enjoy and let us know what you think--I personally love it!

I was really excited about Dalen's second photo shoot this past Monday. I hadn't seen him in several months and couldn't get over how much he'd grown up! He was full of flirtatious grins the entire session and I loved watching him "discover" grass (and mulch!). Thanks again to Megan and Mario for letting me be a part of his first year--you guys are such sweet and loving parents!  

Fashion Ideas

So I found this great sight for wedding gift ideas, trends, and fashion. If you're looking for ideas check www.estiloweddings.com . 

I think I need one of these adorable handbags, don't you?

Cara's Bridal Fashion Shoot

Last week I met up with Cara to capture some shots of her beautiful custom made wedding dress. She and Devon will be tying the knot in 2 weeks and I cannot wait to be a part of it all! Cara has such an incredibly sweet and beautiful demeanor. Cara and her mom were such COMPLETE troopers as we explored hay fields and cow pastures for the best locations.  Thank you so much to Emily and David for welcoming us to their family farm and driving us around the fields (while dodging a few cows and a litter of baby skunks! Whew!) 

I had a blast!   

Jack and Elijah

We have been so blessed to be a part of several couple's lives as they experience the adventures of parenthood. Last week I met up with Matt and Michelle to once more capture the growth of their twin boys, Jack and Elijah. I can't believe how much they've grown in such a short time! Their cheeks are SO CUTE and they both have such a difference in personality (Jack has always been less than excited about having pictures taken...while Elijah is so happy for the attention! ). Check out a few shots...

The Summer Celebration of Anna and Tyler

So its super late and I'm ready for some shut eye but I couldn't help putting up a few shots from this past weekend. We had such a great time shooting on Saturday with Anna and Tyler. Their big day took place at the Fillhauer House in Cleveland, TN. We also really enjoyed working with Anna's coordinator Christina Cannon--don't hesitate to contact us for more info on how you can hook up with this girl--she thought of EVERYTHING and the day ran so smoothly! 

The highlight of Anna's ensemble was her heirloom cathedral veil which Anna's mother wore during her wedding! I couldn't get over how gorgeous and well preserved it was.  My other fave part of the day was their actual story. Apparently Anna and Tyler became an item back in the 8th grade and have stayed together all these years--true childhood sweethearts!!!! They even had love notes from back then framed and displayed throughout the reception. Such a cool idea! The Collins Brother Band absolutely ROCKED it and the speeches given by Anna and Tyler's bridal party were just plain hilarious (and extremely well written)!  

Well enjoy some of their MANY shots from the day. The details were unending and I had to finally quit before I spoiled all of the highlights from the day! :) Thanks again you guys, and enjoy some serious R&R down in Florida.  To all my late night blogstalkers...Good night! 

They had some great laughs during the speeches...

Anna and her father during their father/daughter dance. I was moved watching them! 

Anna apparently MADE all of these adorable personalized apple butter favors for her guests...somebody needs to go into business! 

They left in style with a premier stretch limo...
