Stratton Hall Wedding | Takira + Sidney

June 29, 2015

Their wedding day had finally arrived. As I quietly picked up my camera Takira was nervously fidgeting with her hair while her bridesmaids slipped her into her whimsical ball gown. She looked down, hands on her waist, and sighed happily. One final zip and she instantly began to move like a princess, graceful and strong. One moment she was tearfully hugging her …

June 21, 2015

Last night we had the immense pleasure of capturing LaFrancis and Javon as they said their vows at Stratton Hall in downtown Chattanooga!

Rhonda + William | Wedding

May 8, 2015

Definition of PROVIDENCE: Divine guidance or care, or God conceived as the power sustaining and guiding human destiny. PROVIDENCE has defined Rhonda and William’s lives. During their wedding ceremony I worked through tear-filled eyes as their pastor shared the divine journey that led them to that day. You see, while living in Haiti William became the only survivor in his school’s …

Kacy + Matt | How to Handle Rain on a Wedding Day

April 21, 2015

Kacy smiled and shrugged, “If it rains, it rains. I even bought cute umbrellas!”. My heart swelled with happiness because she was totally right. Rain on a wedding day doesn’t nessesarily ruin the day,  it simply adds an additional layer. It means that you get to snuggle with your groom under a cute umbrella, giggling after …

My face hurt (ok submit punchline here). 😉 I hopped into the car as Beau drove us towards Ruth and Stephen’s Fairyland Club wedding reception and I couldn’t stop smiling. Last fall I recalled Ruth sharing how much she wanted her wedding day to celebrate those who had loved and supported her and Stephen as …
