This next couple is SO cute that I just had to seriously restrain myself from putting up a zillion pics from their engagement session! When Lauren contacted us about her shoot and said that she and her fiancee Jeff, a UT football alum, wanted to do part of their engagement session at Neyland Stadium, we knew we were in for a real treat!
And y'all, seriously, this couple could not be any cuter or any sweeter. Jeff is waaaay over a foot taller than Lauren! He can pick her up and twirl her around like nothing! (And really it is nothing because Lauren is teenie tiny!). Jeff was joking around with her the whole time and it was easy to see how much fun they have together. Here is just a small sample from their shoot, it was so tough picking just a few!!
Enjoy!!
I think this one is really cute and it just might be my favorite!
Hmmm, I'm loving this one too :)
Then we headed out to our farm for a few just before sunset!
It was almost 100 degrees while we were doing this but I can't tell at all!! I'm really not even exaggerating!
Ta da! The end!! Thanks for being so great Lauren & Jeff!! xx

Meet two of our very best friends, Michelle & Christopher. Michelle is one of my girls, she's super sweet, totally sassy (see right), and we have a lot in common. She's pretty much amazing and one of the best kind of friends a girl could ask for. Although Michelle & Christopher live in North Carolina, we spend a lot of time together... on the phone... for sometimes hours... at least 2-3 nights a week while I'm working around the house. She's a great friend, we talk about any and everything, though lately we've been talking a lot about her wedding... which is pretty much going to be a photographer's dream...lucky me! Think Eseeola Lodge, paper cranes hanging from a tree, croquet, vintage glass bottles, bluegrass, guests standing in a circle around Michelle & Christopher while they say thier vows -- I swear I get chills just thinking about it!!
For Michelle & Christopher's wedding I get to be both bridesmaid and photographer, which means that instead of holding a bouquet, I'll be wearing a cute dress AND holding a camera most of the day ;). Then at some point during the reception I'll put down my camera and break it down on the dance floor with my girls while Dan continues to take care of business.
All of the bridesmaids for Michelle & Christopher's wedding are wearing different dresses that we are buying from wherever, all having a shade of purple or lavendar. We're bringing them to the beach this weekend to see how they look together since we all live in different places and I'm totally excited to see how it all turns out. Anyways, back to the main subject of this post - their engagement shoot! No matter how much Michelle & I talked and planned this shoot before it happened, it still felt like a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants engagement session, which always turns out to be the best anyways --- and this is definitely a new favorite. Although it looks like this shoot took place somewhere out West (at least that's what I think), it was our first time to do a shoot in Cades Cove. If you don't know what that is, Cade's Cove is a famous part of the Great Smokey Mountain National Park that tons of people visit and drive through every day. And, for anyone that's ever been to Cades Cove, you know how crowded the loop can be with all of the Sunday drivers and nature lovers. But, we have now totally figured out how to do an engagement shoot up there without getting stuck. Despite the traffic, it is always absolutely worth the trip. Every view up there is so gorgeous and along with a couple that is so dear makes this a shoot that I absolutely LOVE!!! Here are just some of our favs, I had such a hard time picking ones to blog!! Their full gallery is really full, so, so many fun pics!! Enjoy!!
Next up will be one of my favorite, FAVORITE weddings ---- Nate & Ashley that's you! Get excited!!! ;)
I think the one in the middle should be Michelle's new facebook profile pic ;)

I fell madly and crazily in love with this next couple when we booked them last year and I'm just beside myself that their wedding is literally T minus 6 days! Meet Amanda & Ryan. Amanda is a gorgeous and totally down to earth and Ryan is a super cool pilot! AND he took her up in a tiny plane on their first date! Talk about first date jitters but HOW romantic is that!?!
We have a crazy, awesome week and weekend ahead of us and I absolutely cannot wait for their wedding this Saturday!!
Happy Monday!
Look at her cute face on the right. How can you not love her!?!
My crystal ball sees blonde babies in their future ;)
The End! Amanda & Ryan we can't wait to see you guys in a few days!!!
