Knoxville Wedding Photographer |

Last weekend’s wedding was so picturesque! I was so thankful for the great weather. We’ve known Nick’s parents for several years and absolutely love them, but only met Nick a couple years ago when he moved back to Tennessee. It wasn’t long after Nick moved back that he met and fell in love with Melissa. They are the cutest couple… Seriously, they are always matching their clothes and it is adorable! Ha! Melissa is so sweet and such a genuinely kind person.

Melissa chose to do a vintage style wedding theme. One of her Grandmothers actually made ALL of the doilies that were used for the reception tables. The tables were so beautiful. I loved the teacups and pearl decor. Melissa wanted to have the ceremony at her Church, Heritage Fellowship, but wanted to have a formal dinner reception at another venue. She asked for suggestions on a location that can hold 200-300 guests in Jefferson City. There are tons of wonderful venues in Knoxville and the Smokies that would have worked, but I didn’t know of any in this area that can hold that many people. Then, a few weeks ago during one of our wedding planning meetings, I mentioned to Melissa that I had just met with a couple that are opening up a wedding venue in Jefferson City. This property is beautiful!!! There are white picket fences, a gorgeous white barn with chandeliers in the inside. I love chandeliers! I was just blabbing away and said how sad I was that I didn’t know about this place earlier because it would have been perfect for her… Well, her response was, “I think I’m gonna book it!” WHAT!!! Yep, so she completely changed her reception venue with three weeks to go and I’ve gotta say I’m glad she did. The Carriage House is beautiful and spacious and worked perfectly for their wedding.

Nick and Melissa – Thank you so much for asking us to photograph your big day! It was such an honor to be with everyone that is special to you. We wish you many years of joy, fun and matching outfits. 🙂
