Remember like a month or so ago when we said we'd really like to do an engagement shoot with a canoe, field of flowers, balloons...? Well we've done all 3 of those plus a shoot with a TANDEM bike (!) and a Vintage, Contemporary & Country themed shoot as well. We've definitely got some really exciting stuff in the works! 

First off, I'm loving the outdoors in this engagement shoot on the Tennessee River. When we suggested a canoe, we had no idea it would actually fit with anyone's personality/hobbies but apparently a day on the river is not far from the norm for this couple! Erin and Ryan brought their canoe over to our farm and opened the back hatch of Ryan's vehicle I felt like I was looking at a fishing store. There were poles, vests, nets you name it! So fun...

We really cannot say enough about this couple. It is truly our pleasure to work with them. Not only are Erin & Ryan super gorgeous, there're even nicer than they are pretty if you can even believe that. I'm totally in love with them and SO thrilled to be thier wedding photographers in Knoxville later this year.

See what I mean? What's not to love about these two?

I can't wait to design their guestbook.  It's going to be so unbelievably cute!!

There is no such thing as a bad picture of Erin.

Ryan is SO SWEET to Erin. You might see her 'paddling' in a few pictures but trust me, Ryan had it covered.

I happened to be in the grocery store on the phone with my friend Michelle (whose wedding we'll be doing later this year!) telling her about our upcoming shoot and the marshmallows were totally her idea - so fun!

I got home from this next shoot and called my Mom because she knows Katie. I was telling her all about Katie's fiancee Johan, who was so, so nice and his three year old daughter Silvia, who is adorable (and Dan and I are totally in love with her). And then I was like, "I mean mom, I can't even act normal around Katie because she's just soooo beautiful!" And my mom was like, "I know me too!" You'll see what I mean in a second... Anyways, Katie & Johan's wedding is in just a few weeks! It's our first of the season and we couldn't be more excited that it's with them. Their wedding is going to be such a celebration of life and love and  I know it'll be one that will inspire us for the whole year!

Here are some of our favs from their engagement/family shoot last week!



Ummmm gasp! Could these three be any more gorgeous!
