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.

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.

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.

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.

Just a short couple of weeks ago it was Jasmine and Chris that decided to have their wedding at historic Lake Lure. Lake Lure was the site of the filming of “Dirty Dancing”. The couple had a beautiful service outdoors with a few rain showers looming in the distance that made for a nice sunset. I as a Knoxville wedding photographer had a blast getting on the road for the event. Jasmine is a transplant from Korea although she has lived here all her life. Her Dad and her had a moment on the dance floor. And I think they shared more than one tear during the night. Here are a few images to remember. Enjoy.

Last Friday I as a knoxville wedding photographer, had the best time photographing Caitlyn and Josh’s wedding at the beautiful Dara’s garden. The roses in the rose garden were in full bloom as we strolled the grounds. Although the weather was forecast for a ninth percent chance of rain, it held off for the day and made for some good overcast weather for shooting the photos. Caitlyn had just finished finals for her first year of law school and Josh is an engineer major. Here are a few shots from the day.

Darla and Leland album

As a Knoxville wedding photographer I wanted to post one of the newest arrivals. It is a standard Leather Craftsman album that just came in. Darla and Leland’s wedding was fantastic, and what a better way to capture the memories forever than with a fine crafted album from leather craftsman. This is the standard album with most packages.
