Read MoreSome weddings just leave you speechless. The emotion, the love, the happy tears...Megan and Kiril's wedding was one of those. The whole day was executed to perfection by Lola Events and no detail was overlooked. Megan started her day at the Public Hotel where Sonia Roselli Beauty beautifully applied makeup for her and her best girls. Laughs, champagne and CARTIER followed (yes, Megan was lucky enough to open the most stunning Cartier bracelet from her love!)
Kirin and Megan saw each other for the first time when she walked down the aisle at Gallery 1028. Megan looked absolutely radiant in her Sarah Seven gown! The party continued well into the night with dancing and fun for all!

Read MoreI really try not to play favorites with our couples, but it was so hard not to love every moment we spent photographing Ashley and Brian's wedding in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Let's start with the absolutely stunning setting at the Park Vista Hotel, overlooking the vast Smoky Mountain National Park, on a perfectly sunny summer day. The view alone was enough to make us never want to leave. Add to that, a couple so in love, that they actually didn't need any guidance at all for posing - all of those incredibly intimate moments you see on this blog? Those are just them, being themselves (can anybody say "CHEMISTRY?!")
Their first look took place on the edge of a cliff where Brian took a moment to take in the scenery and reflect on his upcoming nuptials. When Ashley approached and he took a look at his beautiful bride, the tears began (for ALL of us!) It was impossible not to feel the incredible love between them! The day then continued with a ceremony overlooking the vast nature and an al-fresco dinner filled with so many laughs and love (and the cutest kiddos!)
We are honored to have been a small part of their wedding day and so excited to share a sneak peek! Congratulations you two!

Read MoreAmanda and Jason's modern wedding at the Ravenswood Event Center was one for the record books! Starting with her gorgeous bouquet in bright colors, to the perfectly styled reception, not a single detail was forgotten! It was so important to A + J that their guests have a fun time and as an objective observer, I can say that was definitely the case! Guests dined at food stations serving delicious food and danced well into the night while a live band kept the atmosphere festive!
It was an honor to be a part of your special day - congratulations you two!
