I believe we should go on and call this Cades Cove week cause we've got something else from that little gem of a loop to share. Here are a few bridal portraits we did post-wedding for one of our favorite gals, Ashley. I know that if you've been following us since at least this summer you probably remember her wedding cause it's definitely one that everybody talks about! People always say "that really colorful wedding with the red, blue, green and gorgeous bride" (and boy they are right!). If you missed, here's your link, but for now, here's a little clip from our afternoon in the mountains! 

Happy Friday!

We just love engagement shoots. Aside from the drama and emotion of the wedding day, engagement shoots might be my favorite part of our job. Besides being more in control over aspects that help us get good pictures (most importantly light and location), engagement shoots are where we really get to know couples. It's kind of like a double date with cameras... We really enjoy the chance to get to our brides and grooms that way.  Anyways, we have tons of engagement shoots lined up for this fall so I'm sure we'll have lots to post even when our weddings wrap at the end of the season...which for us is in four weeks!! 

Our beautiful couple for this post, Courtney and Chae, are getting married in November and will be our second to last wedding until we are done for 2010!  So, they are a little extra special and we can't wait for their wedding!! Courtney and Chae are a wonderful, sweet, sweet, sweetheart couple (yes, I meant to say it that way) that we both just absolutely adore... We really couldn't be smiling more over these pics, all done in Cades Cove, a part of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park (for you out-of-towners).

Enjoy & Happy Tuesday!
xoxo

We did a couple portraits of Courtney by herself so her mom could put one in the paper and I really liked them. She really has an infectious smile!
