Before and Afters

My wife’s good friend Cindy was over for a photo shoot the other day. She was kind enough to let me post some before and afters of her. I thought it might be nice to see what a retouched photo can do to an already attractive subject. What I try to do is make you look your best, not different.

Ashley + Nick get hitched in Knoxville, Tn

Just a couple of short weeks ago I shot Ashley and Nick’s engagement photos. It wasn’t long before it was time for me to shoot their wedding. It was a blast! As a Knoxville wedding photographer, every once in a while you get to attend the party afterwards that accompanies the wedding. This was one of those weddings. Ashley as mentioned before is a nurse, and Nick a videographer at Channel 8 here in Knoxville. I think the whole crew was there. Here are some highlights from the day.












Matthew and Jessica say I will at UT gardens, Knoxville, Tn

The last couple of weeks have been really busy for me. It is the marrying season after all. As a Knoxville wedding photographer it was time to head to UT gardens located right here in Knoxville, Tn. I met Matthew and Jessica at the garden and we all were excited about the shoot. Matthew is a Architect and Jessica a School Teacher. The couple are made for each other. Both love the country life as you can tell from the ten gallon hat and boots. Here are a couple from the day.

Robert and Kristen tie the knot at Whitestone in Tn.

As a knoxville wedding photographer it was a pleasure to photograph this lovely couple about a month ago. The wedding was held at the impeccable Whitestone Inn here in Tn. Although small as weddings go, this wedding had a homey feel with close family and friends that made it especially enchanting. Robert is a Dentist in Memphis and Kristen is finishing law school. Here are some highlights from their day.
