The forecast had called storms all day so I called Devin to see if she wanted to reschedule or brainstorm a new location for the shoot that night. I got nervous when she mentioned shooting under a bridge and was bummed that we would have to stay there while it rained. I love to hop from location to location and knew it would be a challenge to shoot in one place for 90 minutes. What happened next was the best 2 hours of shooting…. ever!

Meet Devin + Sonny. I always get excited when my clients say they want to do something “different” for their engagement session. However wild their dream is for the shoot.. I run with it with arms flailing! So, when Devin called and told me about her Vintage dream I couldn’t wait and the wheels started turning. When I stepped out of my jeep and saw that they looked straight 40′s I was like a little kid who just saw Santa Clause. Giddy! It rained and we laughed and it rained some more. When the rain cleared the fog started the move in and I instantly felt like I was in Casablanca. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did!!  I’m posting more on the LHP Facebook fan page.. go check it out! —> Click Here!

A little over 10 years ago I meet this guy my very first day of High School.. well I don’t meet him.. I just see him and I’m instantly in 14 year old “hearts + butterflies” love! God, being the clever God that he is.. brings us together again after college and we’re stinkin head over heels for each other from day one. We get married a year later and 4 years after that we still are, stinkin head over heels in love.

I love that he poses for my silly pictures… I love that he supports me wholeheartedly in my wildest dreams, regardless of how wild ( + crazy) .. I love his HUGE heart that just gives and gives and gives and gives when mine stops giving at the first give…  I love that I find his socks laying all over the house, I literally smile every time I see them .. I love that he’s my best friend +  knows me and loves me with his whole soul even though he knows all my secrets…  I can’t believe I snagged such a GREAT man + cant believe I’ve managed to keep him for the last 4 years.. I love that he’s up for all of my adventures, and sometimes those adventures are crazy + weird + maybe even dangerous, but he’s always there smiling + laughing right by my side….  I love that he works his butt off (or eyeballs out!) for our family + has such a heart to provide for us and the little us’s that will come in the future… I love his strong mind full of wisdom, he’s forever giving me advice on how to handle things and he’s always 100% right… I love his heart for God, this is what first drew me too him 10 years ago and what still amazes me. Oh and he makes me laugh all day every day. Yup, He’s a keeper!

Whitney + Jonathan said their “I Do’s” at a sweet 6pm ceremony at a private home on Douglas Lake.  The day was perfect, warm and so beautiful! I haven’t spent much time on Douglas Lake, but after spending the day there I can assure you I will be seeing it again very soon! So beautiful. You know what else was beautiful? Whitney!! Not only was she stunning, this girl is so thoughtful and has a genuine heart of gold. She’s the perfect match for her new hubby Jonathan who is also just as kind and would give the shirt off his back if you needed it. No lie, the love these two have for people will change the world… the world around them at least.  I’m so thankful to have been a part of this wedding! My second shooter Amy Cupp is also a Knoxville photographer and she seriously rocked it. To see more from this wedding visit the LHP Facebook fan page —-> here

On a personal note.. this wedding was the 7th on an 8 week wedding stretch. Next week’s wedding is in Nashville and is the last until mid August which means next week is vacation time!! We’re packing early and stealing a few days away in Charleston with some fun loving friends. I’m also taking a much needed computer/facebook/twitter/email break too! It’s going to be glorious!! Look forward to all the pictures. Until then.. enjoy Whit + Jon!
