Valerie + David | engaged

Posted on March 29, 2012 by admin

Valerie + David are getting married in less than a month! Yowza! You can tell these two are totally best friends (who met at college in a nearby state and then moved to Chattanooga). They have a lot of exciting things ahead of them – they’re even postponing their honeymoon to close on their first HOUSE together! They tried to point it out to me while frolicking on Renaissance Park’s famous hills, but some pesky mountains got in the way.

I love that these two showed up in their rainjackets and Chacos (it was raining a bit, after all… and I have a deep brand loyalty to Chacos) for their session! I had to get some adorable pictures of them before they got “fancier” for their session… as Valerie said, “This is really us!”

Congrats, Valerie + David! See you in a MONTH!

Jody + Kelsey | married

Maddie and I had an amazing time photographing Jordan and Kelsey’s wedding in downtown Chattanooga. When it comes to weddings, in general, there’s no shortage of hard work for just about everyone involved, but these guys had a blast with it and really made it a special day. The wedding consisted of a traditional Catholic mass ceremony at Sts. Peter and Paul, after which we relocated to the Hunter Art Museum for the reception! The whole day was just fantastic, as I’m sure you can see from the photos, and I’m so glad I got to be there! It’s definitely worth mentioning how great the food was!! I had lamb for the first time, and well, now I’m a big fan…

Thanks to the couple for having us out to share in your special day! You guys were a ton of fun to be around and a breeze to work with! We hope you love your photos as much as we do.

Kate + John | engaged

This past week Molly & I had the pleasure of traveling to Savannah, Georgia – just a day before the famed St. Patrick’s Day festivities! – to photograph one of our May couples, Kate + John!

I hadn’t been able to meet Kate + John yet, so it was so fun to connect with them after spending time through emails and the phone with Kate! They are college sweethearts who, after being long-distance for the majority of their relationship (including John’s deployment), are finally in the same city! You can tell that they are soaking up every minute.

Kate + John, thanks so much for being such wonderful hosts and tour guides as we visited Savannah! We are so excited about your Chattanooga wedding this May!
