In addition to L-O-V-I-N-G the wedding season thus far we always adore the opportunity to photograph some little kiddos...especially these guys. Meet these 6 super cute cousins! This is not my first time to shoot them...well except the two youngest boys, they're new :). I've done the boys once before and the two girls at least twice -- in fact, if you take a look at our family portfolio on this site you'll see their younger versions. Little hams, all of the them!
Dan and I did this shoot together, we took about a zillion photos but as always, here are a few of our faves!
Hope everyone had a long and fun weekend :)
Here is one of the two families.
And here is the other. The moms are sisters :)

Katie and Johan had an intimate wedding of about 70 guests, all of which took place at their friends' amazing residence on top of a mountain in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. From the moment we arrived I knew that it was going to be an amazing day. The weather was gorgeous, there was music playing all over the house, people were eating and drinking, and the whole atmosphere was just very light and laid back --- my kind of wedding day :). Katie had a maid of honor (her sister) and Johan had a best man. The ceremony took place in a garden area outdoors that was prefectly backlit throughout the entire ceremony. It was just one of those days where you feel truly blessed to be a wedding photographer in East Tennessee!
After the ceremony guests enjoyed a cocktail hour out on the lawn and the light was just amazing. Later, everyone went into the tent for dinner. Johan (although he now lives in Knoxville) is Danish, so as is tradition in Danish culture (and many European cultures) there were a lot of speeches by many of the guests and they were all great!! I swear I think I was laughing behind my camera the whole time. The most amazing part was that in hearing everyone talk, and as the hostess pointed it out, there were people in attendance from all over the world at their wedding - truly amazing.
Here are some of our favorite wedding photos of the day - Enjoy!
I think this is my favorite picture of Katie. Her eyes are just amazing!!
And now the rest of Katie's gorgeous family you might remember from their engagement shoot. A windblown Silvia, Johan's three year old daughter, and the handsome groom himself!
I just wanted to show the back of Katie's dress. I loved, loved her dress.
This is Dan's favorite picture of Katie
The light was just perfect as we were taking these so it took no time at all. What easy subjects!?
Possibly my favorite pics of the day
Katie's flowers and cake & cupcakes were gorgeous! (See vendor list at the bottom of this post)
This is a shot from that beautiful cocktail hour.

Beautiful images! You really captured the beauty & spirit of the day. Oddly enough, one of my favorites is the exterior view of the house & tent - it looks like a great party was inside!!

Third -- Get ready for a super cute engagement session with Janie & Kendal. If you saw us on Channel 10 you probably noticed our ridiculously cute models. Here they are and this time it's for real! For their engagement shoot we decided to go up to Townsend because we were looking for an old country road for the tandem bike they were bringing. Dan and I got up there a little early to find a good spot and we did... We were driving down this road and saw this awesome piece of property with a little dirt road, hills and an old barn. Best yet, the owners were standing right outside and said yeah sure we could walk all over it
P-E-R-F-E-C-T!!
So here are few of our favorites!
This is probably my number 1 favorite! It looks like a great classic in black & white but for some reason I like it better in color on this blog -- go figure!
The bike was so much fun. Poor Kendal had to push that thing all over the place!
I heart everything about this shoot
Oh I love the little face on Kendal in this one!
Umm, yeah, she's a living doll!
Janie & Kendal we had a great time with you guys and wish you ALL THE BEST!!!
