Tessa & Marshal

After meeting with Tessa and getting the "low down" on how they were planning their wedding, I knew this was going to be a great day. Talk about details! I wish I could post a hundred pictures here on my blog, there were just so many wonderful things that came together to make for an amazing day: Vintage books, goodie bags for the kids, horseshoes, and so much more! Enjoy these favorites of mine from the day!

Little Haley, only 5 days old!

Isn't she adorable!!! I have never seen a newborn hold her head up like this before, she was totally working it for the camera! We were so excited to welcome Haley into the world, and I am so happy for Matt & Heather, congratulations again!!

Tessa & Mark

Meet Tessa and Mark, a super-fun couple getting married this fall. these two were naturals; did an awesome job and looked great! who would have thought they've barely been in front of a camera before :)







This shoot was bittersweet for me - it was the last one for me this summer since I'm now on maternity leave. Will definitely miss being behind the camera, but having a baby bump makes it difficult to get around during a shoot. Things like getting on the ground for the shot, climbing fences, and all the other fun stuff I get to do as a photographer will just have to wait till this fall!

Meet the Gates!

I think anyone that knows them would agree, Rachel and Lee are wonderful. I've known them for a few years now, but this was the first time I had the pleasure of meeting Lee's family. We took these photos down by the River Park in Chattanooga, it's a really great area and makes me wish we lived a little closer.





This dock was definitely moving while we were out on it - glad I had a firm grip on my camera!
