Jenalee & John, Laurelwood, Signal Mountain, TN, Wedding, May 10, 2008

I hope you will take the time to look at the slideshow from Jenalee and John's wedding at Laurelwood.

This is an absolutely idyllic setting for a wedding.



Jenalee's friend, Renee, did such an outstanding job of directing this event and I think you all will agree that the bride is beautiful.



Here are some favorites from Jenalee and John's alone time. Jenalee gave me some quality and quantity time so we were able to get some great pictures.









I think the pet emu thought the bride's bouquet was lunch.





We definitely had lots of fun doing their pictures and John and Jenalee are just as nice as can be. We also had some excellent help from fellow photographer, Jennifer Lepere.

I love these shots of the little flower girls.





Just before the ceremony...



Then, John, you may now kiss your bride!



Congratulations to everyone!

Some special notes about our fellow wedding vendors. Please check out their websites by clicking on the links. Tim Prairie did the videography. Helen Johnson from Humphrey's Flowers did another outstanding job. The cakes were by Kimmee's Cakes & Cafe and the catering was excellent so check out Goetz Catering. Heath, the DJ, did a really outstanding job from Sound Force.

A little project for the Read House

This is a project we're working on with the Read House! These are examples of portraits we may display in their new show room.

Brittany & Andy, Wedding, May 3, 2008

Brittany and Andy have a wonderful relationship and love for each other. This was evident on their wedding day and it was a real joy to be there.

We were able to go outside for a few of the pictures and once again we had some excellent assistance, this time from Emily Todd.



I really love doing the rings.



Brittany and Andy.



The reception was at the Chattanooga Marriott, so we were able to stop at Miller Plaza for some fun pictures.





Brittany and Andy's wedding was a great time for everyone. Florist, Jim O'Dell, Carol Locke at the Marriott and Amy Stitts, the wedding director helped make it very special.

Carson, 9 Months Old

Here's Carson again! These past 3 months have flown by since I photographed him last. He is now a speedy crawler and a tooth-cutting drooler! In some of these pictures you can see that his top teeth were about to come in...and he cut them the next day! Needless to say he was a great sport about it and let us get lots of cute pictures of him. As always, Carson was such a pleasure to be around.

Here's the slideshow.

Madison Kay, 2 Years Old

This little curly-haired doll baby is really two and half years old having celebrated her second birthday in December. This was her first time to visit with us and she quickly won our hearts.





Madison Kay really liked our giant teddy bear.





And she joyfully welcomed the bubbles! A special thank you to her parents for allowing me to be Madison Kay's photograper.

Kirsten & Derrick, Anniversary

Liz and Terry want to chronicle Jessica's introduction to photography. She, too, has been introduced to professional photography since 1991 when Liz began. From time to time she would help Liz with weddings and has made good use of her point and shoot Nikon. Her day job has been at Hunter Middle as a Spanish teacher but she has worked several weekends in the wedding business as a wedding coordinator and assisting other vendors in their tasks. Anyway, we are thrilled that she is interested in photography and I think you will see she has tremendous potential.

POST FROM JESSICA:

Kirsten taught in the classroom next to me and wanted to do something special on the eve of her wedding anniversary, June 1, 2007. So she and Derrick decided to do a special photo session. Jessica consulted with mom & dad, Liz & Terry, and her sisters, Diana and Becca, and agreed to meet Kirsten and Derrick at the old courthouse.

Here are some of Jessica's favorites:







This is near the old Southern Railroad building.



Then a short ride to the Southern Belle.

Ivey & Tom, Engagement

After canceling our session twice due to rain, I knew I had to bring my A game to get the absolute best shots for Ivey & Tom's engagement session! So I was very pleased when it not only ended up being the perfect morning for pictures, but also Ivey and Tom were so easy to work with and just plain fun to be around. They are a precious couple who are obviously perfect for each other. Congratulations on your engagement, Ivey and Tom! Keith and I both are looking forward to the wedding.

Congratulations to our good friend, Jim, upon his graduation from seminary and becoming the pastor of a church in Oak Ridge. We are extremely proud of you.
