Joni and Jeremy’s wedding was the last of our October weddings and we absolutely loved being with them on their big day! These sweethearts had their wedding at the lovely Carriage House in Jefferson City, TN. It was definitely a warm day! I couldn’t believe that it was almost 80 degrees at the end of October, but you can never really predict East Tennessee weather. Regardless of the temperature, what you can always rely on is the gorgeous foliage that drapes the foothills of the Smoky Mountains this time of year. It’s always the perfect backdrop! I just loved all the florals Joni chose for her autumn wedding, especially her fabulous bouquet that incorporated all the beautiful colors of fall and complemented her elegant dress so perfectly!

These two are such a chill and relaxed couple.  They are so fun and adorable together and you can see their genuine love for each other coming through in all their photos. They were definitely a joy to shoot! One of my highlights was capturing so many fun photos of Joni’s canine baby, Paddington, throughout the day. He’s a little spoiled, but he loves his Mama! He’s such a cutie and I’m so glad Joni brought him along! I didn’t bring my yorkie, Mika, to my wedding and I’ve always regretted not getting any photos with her on my wedding day. So, when couples ask me about incorporating their fur babies, we are always quick to tell them to bring them along, even if it’s just for a few photos.

The other moment in the day that was just so incredibly moving was during the ceremony vows. I just love this portion of the day when couples share their hearts and commitment to one another. When Joni spoke, I loved how she not only made promises to Jeremy, but to his two daughters, Jasmine and Jaida. She promised that she would not try to take the place of their Mom, but that she will love them and care for them just as much and always be there for them whenever they might need her.  One phrase that stood out to me was when she said, “She didn’t give them the gift of life, but life gave her the gift of them.” So powerful!

Their wedding day went off without a hitch and I can’t thank their wedding coordinator, Angie, enough for that.  Another beautiful wedding with another one of our beautiful couples! We love these two and are so happy for them! Enjoy some of our favorites from their day!

What a cutie pie!

 Hilary is kind and soft spoken and Andre is such a sincere person. They are such a great match for one another. Hilary met Andre at Youth group in 2012. As soon as Andre saw Hilary he thought she was the most beautiful girl he had ever met. A month later, the youth group took a trip over to Stone Mountain. Hilary wanted to have a caricature done of her and in order to save money asked if anyone from the group would volunteer to go in with her on it. If you ask me, that was a subtle way to move things along…. Hahah! Andre quickly “volunteered” and that was the beginning of their special friendship… In November of that year, Andre asked Hilary’s Dads permission to officially court his daughter with the intention of marrying her.  

There were so many highlights from this wedding! From Seeing Hilary in her dress to Andre being so excited to marry his wife. One of my favorite moments of the wedding day was at the reception listening to their families share more about Hilary and Andre. Hilary’s sister mentioned how when she initially heard about Andre that she wanted to check out his trail of tears. She wanted to see how many hearts he had broken. Like any good sister would do, she read a love letter that Andre wrote to Hilary. In the letter, she realized that Hilary was actually Andre’s first and only girlfriend. It was then that she knew she could trust this man to love her sister and be a good husband to her. He won her approval.

Andre’s Dad shared how proud he was to be his father and what a great son he had always been. I loved what Hilary’s dad shared as well. Steve mentioned that everyone was asking him if he was ok and if it was hard to let his young daughter get married. He said he knew that Andre loved his daughter and would protect and honor her. He was excited that his daughter was marrying such a godly young man! It was such a beautiful moment hearing these families honor their children who just got married.

This was my first time photographing a wedding at Two Rivers Church.  I absolutely loved working with Erin. She was an amazing coordinator and kept things on schedule. Big thanks to my talented assistant, Megan Haun! Thank you Anna Myers and Becca Oakes for all of the gorgeous updos! Southern Sirens for makeup and Grace Community Church for the catering and decorations.
