The Lake House: Morgan + Clint's Fall Lakeside Wedding

Morgan and Clint's wedding day at The Lake House was nothing short of breathtaking!

We lucked out with such a mild, Fall day-- it was sunny, with a slight breeze, and a touch of fall foliage! The sun drenched everything and made it so beautiful and golden! These two had previously told me that they both had fond memories of visiting the lake with their friends and family and that's part of the reason why they decided to have their ceremony lakeside! After exchanging vows and rings, and officially becoming husband and wife, Morgan and Clint exited their ceremony with confetti poppers! We then spent the golden afternoon taking portraits by the lake and headed to the reception. Morgan and Clint danced with their guests on the outdoor patio while the sun set over the lake!

The Waterstone Venue: Emily + Christian's Boho and Elegant Summer Wedding

Emily and Christian's wedding day was nothing short of beautiful.

These two became husband and wife on the most perfect September day-- it was partly sunny and in the 70s with a breeze that reminded us that Fall is just around the corner. When I first arrived at the Waterstone venue, I saw both Emily and Christian while they were getting ready and asked how they were. They both responded with the biggest smiles and said, "Getting a little nervous, but excited!"

Happiness just radiated between these two and their families throughout the day. We were all in tears watching Emily read Christian's letter and then again when he first saw her walk down the aisle. It's obvious from their smiles just how much these two love and adore each other.

Gaithersburg, MD: Sarah + Brandon's Intimate Fall Backyard Wedding

Sarah and Brandon’s wedding day is one that I keep close to my heart!

Sarah is the sister to my good friend, Elizabeth, who I’ve known since middle school! Elizabeth and her now-husband, Jeff, eloped in Las Vegas the year before and flew me out to capture their day with their family. I’ve met Sarah before the elopement but was able to hang out with her and Brandon more in Vegas. When we left, she said, “I’ll contact you about our wedding in May!” Of course, I was ecstatic. When we got back, we planned their May wedding and set it on the calendar. Little did we know that Covid would soon hit and change everything about 2020’s spring season.

Thankfully, Sarah and Brandon were able to reschedule for October and they had the most beautiful day!

These two said personal vows at their first look but officially tied the knot waterside. We all danced the night away under the tent as it drizzled and ended the celebration with a private last dance and sparkler exit! It was a truly magical and absolutely beautiful Fall wedding day in Northeast Tennessee!
