Kristy comes from a family made up of high school sweethearts and her relationship with Kyle followed suit with family tradition. During a weekend trip to Savannah, Georgia (one of my favorite domestic locations :), Kyle solidified his feelings to Kristy in a surprise proposal next to the beautiful fountains in Savannah’s Forsyth Park. Kyle you did good! I had a great time with you two during your engagement session and we definitely looking forward to your upcoming wedding!

Will and Jill, oh how I adore this couple! Fun, flirty and fresh are just a couple of words that come to mind when I think of these two. I absolutely fell in love with them during their engagement session where we roamed around downtown Chattanooga as they expressed their incredible personalities. They did a great job of putting their thumb print on their wedding as well and making it their very own. From, the girls all donning cowboy boots, the guys wearing Toms, a birdcage veil to dancing down the aisle Will and Jill’s wedding screamed Will and Jill.

I started off the day at Jill’s home, witnessing Jill get ready along with her mother, father and bridesmaids. Three pups roamed the premises and one in particular wanted to be a part of every big getting ready event, drinking mimosas included (picture to prove it the slideshow).

I love the role Jill’s father played in Jill’s wedding day. His face shows his adoration for his daughter

Love the guys style and awesomeness!

Jill, looked stunning on her wedding day!

Cowboy boots. A girl after my own heart.

These girls were SO. MUCH. FUN!

The fierce bridal party!

Originally wavering on weather or not to do a First Look (seeing each other before the wedding), Will & Jill opted to do one and they are so happy they did.

Will could not have had a better reaction….

Will and Jill, we really appreciate inviting us to be a part of your wedding day. A day of true celebration!

I yi yi! Yes, I have been a bad blogger! One post a week is a bit sparse, I admit! Terah and Justin deserve nothing short of a long fabulous blog post to document their fabulous summer wedding that took place at their home church, Rock Bridge, in Dalton, GA. This is the funnest church I have ever been in much less able to photograph in. Check out one of the many fun backdrops within the church. This one happened to be the perfect area to showcase Terah’s beautiful wedding gown!

I love that Terah went against tradition and chose a wedding shoe that she loves everyday! Later checkout Justin’s reaction to Terah’s approval for them both to wear their chacos on their wedding day.

Terah and Justin chose a first look! This is Justin initial reaction to seeing his bride for the very first time! He was smitten for certain!

Terah had an equally enjoyable reaction to seeing her groom!

The aforementioned reaction after Terah showed Justin her Chacos and gave him thumbs up to wear his as well!

Terah was the happiest bride I have ever encountered. She constantly had a full blown smile on her face!

Such a fierce shot of Terah! PS: Big Thank you to Sam Silvey for shooting with me on Terah and Justin’s wedding day! I really appreciate all your hard work Sam! The following are two of his fabulous images. . .

It was a bit hot the day of the wedding, to say the least, but Terah found an outside vent that cooled her down a bit! :)

Such a fun bridal party!

Thanks Sam for this shot of the groomsmen!

These girls were seriously so much fun and equally as happy as Terah!

The following is a quick glimps of the reception. I just loved the emotion that was witnessed between Terah and her father during their father daughter dance! Priceless moments!

Thank you Justin and Terah for allowing us to be a part of your wedding day! We had so much fun! Hope you love your slideshow with many many more pictures!

I have been photographing this little guy since he was mere weeks old and now 18 months has quickly arrived! Once a brunette, Jackson is now a bright blue eyed boy with blond blond hair and loads of personality! Jackson thoroughly enjoyed Coolidge Park’s fountains , carousel and his Aunt Shelby’s new puppy. Jason, Jessica and Jackson it was so great to hang out and capture what your life is like right now with a very busy 18 month old.

Hope you guys enjoy your slideshow. Click HERE!

cora . 8 months {chattanooga family photographer}

brittany — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 04:22:51 +0000

Cora is such a sweet little cuddle bug. With grandparents that love to spoil her sweet, she takes naps in the arms of anyone wanting to take a nap as well. At the end of our session, her daddy gladly cuddled her up in his arms and they both went fast asleep, but prior to nap time this little sweetie showed me around. Her beautiful big baby blues remained inquisitive the entire time as she took in her surroundings. She loves her puppy, feeding him cheerios, reading, peering through her crib slates and sitting over the air conditioner vent allowing the air to flow through her hair just like a little baby model. Cora is adorable! It was so nice to meet you three! Thank you for allowing me to spend an afternoon with your wonderful family!

Check out Cora’s slideshow HERE!

Meeting Bryson, his mommy and daddy was so much fun! This little guy is full of personality and love! He loves to chase his dad around the house, playfully hit his dad with a bat and snuggle with his mommy. Thanks so much you three for having me over and I definitely hope to have the opportunity to meet up with you all again!

PS: Wendy is gorgeous! She has a beautiful classic hollywood look with her dark hair and fair complexion. Seriously beautiful!

isaac + jackson + lucas . brothers

brittany — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 06:58:12 +0000

I did not know what to expect. I come from a family of girls. One was thirteen. Aren’t teenagers self absorbed and sometimes rough to be around? Whew, these three boys put all my fears aside. They were so much fun, kept me laughing and were very engaging in conversation. Isaac, Jackson and Lucas thanks so much for hanging out with me and allowing me to capture a taste of a day in your lives.

Hope you love your slideshow! Click HERE.

This is one of the first scenes I witnessed. Lucas has so much energy and is full of life!

A scene that can be found in any home with a mix of siblings and a gaming system. I love real life!

Isaac loves engines and fixing things.

In his prime

The boys Great Dane PUPPY makes Jackson look small

The boys planned an attack on their dad. So fun!

brotherly love

niko + alisha . married {morristown wedding photographer}

brittany — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 03:44:15 +0000

I had a fabulously fun time shooting their engagement session and their wedding was nothing short of perfection. Alisha and Niko, thank you SO much for inviting us to be a part of your wedding day!!! Hope you love your (super long) slideshow :) Click HERE and now to your super long blog post :)

Alisha, an interior designer, went over the top with all of the fabulous details of her wedding. Not only were many of the design ideas her own, but she also implemented much of the design herself including her save the dates and wedding invitations. How cute is Alisha with her “I do” on the bottom of her perfect ballet slippers. Love that she went non-traditional with a pop of color.

Laura, Matron of Honor and best friend of the bride, placed the same bracelet on Alisha’s wrist that Laura wore on her wedding day. Laura had forgotten a borrowed item on her wedding day, so she borrowed Alisha’s bracelet. The girls became a bit emotional with the nostalgia.

Alisha’s dress (Designer: Mikaella / A Wedding Wonderland in Knoxville) was absolutely gorgeous and I am loving what her seamstress did on the interior of the dress. . .

We had some extra time prior to the ceremony so we took advantage by doing some shots of Alisha looking absolutely fabulous on her wedding day!

Again, details were endless. I love the wine box Alisha chose to house her programs.

The causal and natural feel of the bouquets were perfect for this outdoor wedding. The twine used to wrap the stems made a perfect accent.

Alisha was a bit nervous and anxious prior to the ceremony, but overall just excited to see her groom!

The ring bearer stole my heart through his sweet tears as he walked down the aisle and then clung to his mom during the ceremony. Be sure to not the chap stick in his hand :)

Niko and Alisha’s wedding location was a amazing and means so much to the family. Niko’s family owned this property long ago and sold in to open up their fabulous restaurants.

People stood in eagerness to see the beautiful bride walk down the aisle

Alisha’s expression was priceless as she saw her groom for the first time on her wedding day.

Niko could not take his eyes off his bride and had a permanent smile the entire ceremony.

Again, fabulous details this wedding had. Alisha even hand painted the adorable “Niko & Alisha’s Wedding” sign.

My favorite detail of the day. . . the cake topper complete with Alisha and Niko’s weim, Bruno. Guess who hand painted these adorable adornments. . .Alisha :) (Cake by Sandy Engfron with Sandy’s Cakes)

Alisha’s priceless expression during Niko and Alisha’s first dance. Niko can always make Alisha laugh

This extraordinary wedding reception location is part of Angelos’, Niko’s brothers restaurant.

The kiddos at the wedding wanted to write Niko and Alisha some messages with their sparklers

This seriously was the most fun reception ever complete with traditional Greek dancing. I kept saying I wanted to die and come back Greek. These people know how to have and absolutely fabulous time!

Congrats Alisha and Niko! So excited for you in your new life together and I must say I am just a bit jealous of your epic honeymoon to the Greek Isles coming up next month! Have SO much fun!
