If this garter looks like it's been to a few weddings, well it has! I just wanted to quickly share this thing THAT I LOVE from the amazing wedding we're currently working on... And I know my girlfriends are going to flip out over this...one in particular -- Michelle this is for you ;).
So here's the story - this garter belongs to a spunky, hilarious group of girlfriends and every time one of them gets married, a charm is sewn onto it with their initials, it's worn and then passed on to the next girl. The charms go all the way around and it's just. fabulous!
I love it when friendships are treated with such importance -- I LOVE IT!!!
And here are the fab girls it belongs to :)

Last month we got the pleasure of working with Laurel and Oliver on their wedding day. Laurel and Oliver both live in Seattle but decided that Knoxville was a good 'meet in the middle' location as all of Oliver's people would be coming from Germany & Switzerland! (Well that and Laurel's sweet little sister lives here). With so many out-of-towners, their wedding was a huge celebration of people from all over the world and was so wonderful to see these families blend together right before our eyes. The ceremony was at The Episcopal Church of the Ascension, followed by a beautiful reception at Club LeConte. Here are a few of our favorite pics from the day.
Maybe my favorite shoes picture ever...
Laurel was just glowing!
First look!
Laurel and Oliver make such a cute couple!
Is it me or does this one have some attitude!?
Groomsmen. I love this pic!
Bridesmaids :)
These are quite possibly the cutest flower girls ever. They are Oliver's nieces and are from Germany (I think). They didn't speak much English and so their mom had to translated for us while we taking their pics --- they just smiled and giggled -- too cute!
Church of the Ascension is so pretty!
And groomsmen are just... so fun and easy-going.
A shot from the ceremony. Shot from the balcony with no flash. It's important to note that some churches, like this one, have photography restrictions in which no flash (as in this case), or sometimes no photography, is allowed. Either way were happy to work with it and do what we can!
Always my fav. part of the day :)
I believe this is a German tradition - they cut a white ribbon before they got into the car to go the reception.
I am a total sucker for a good getaway car pick. If I find out you're gonna have a cool car like this for your wedding, expect me to beg you to let me jump in there with you for something like this...
Laurel and her planner Sarah Carroll did such a great job with all of the details. Everything looked beautiful! They had a candy bar at the end of the night with all different types of white-colored candies in pretty glass jars - loved it!
Sarah also made this super-cute kids table on the left. They had all kinds of things to do and by the end of the night had demolished that candy centerpiece :)
Laurel & Oliver definitely knew what they were doing on the dance floor!
On the left is another German tradition - on the right, the previously mentioned center-piece meeting it's demise :)
Their band Entice was awesome! And so was the view! The end!! Thanks Laurel and Oliver for letting us be a part of your beautiful day! We wish you all the best!

You might want to grab a cup of coffee before you go any further because there is a lot to look at from Julie & Danny's wedding. There was a lot to shoot -- I mean A LOT and as we were going through all of the photos from their wedding there seemed to be a lot of threes -- as in three shots that fit together really nicely or three that stood out from a particular backdrop or moment. So, the format of this post is a little different, you may like it, you may hate it....
Two things we love to photograph at weddings are:
1). Details/Location (photos that give a sense of place & style) and..
2). Shots of the couple (not to be too cheesy but tender or joyous looks from two people who are truly in love).
Julie and Danny's wedding had both in abundance so that's a whole lot of what we decided to post. Enjoy!!
There are a couple horizontals I have to show. This is Danny's uncle playing the banjo before the ceremony.
I really love the shot on the left and would love for you all to see it huge but I'm sticking to format...
A break from the 3's for a sec...
LOVE all three of these -- good job Julie & Danny!!
The End!! Julie & Danny -- thanks so much for having us!!! xoxo
