Spires Family Photo Session

Even the rain couldn't keep the Spires family from celebrating Darren and Gina's 27th anniversary! Their son, Dustin, and daughter-in-law, Jessica, hired us to commemorate the occasion by shooting family photos.

The Spires crew

We absolutely had to take advantage of this gorgeous light.

I love the reflective look of wet pavement. I know this is weird, but you have to admit that it adds something to the photo. Of course, the happy family and fall colors both add quite a bit to the overall effect, as well.

The Spires family was a lot of fun to work with during the session. Ron and I hope to work with this awesome family again! Congratulations on your anniversary, Darren and Gina! Here's to 27 more!

Fall Family Session

We have been shooting a lot of fun fall photo sessions over the past month and a half. This session was shot in Cades Cove of a couple of friends'/clients' grandchildren.

Madison is already becoming a beautiful young lady!

Jacob and Kali seem to get a long pretty well, considering that they are brother and sister!

These kids were so surprised that they got to play in the leaves! It was so cute!

Felicia and Quinton's Hallowedding

We were so happy when Felicia and her family hired us to shoot her wedding. We just weren't aware of the spooky circumstances that would surround the event ... zombies, vampires, witches, gravestones, and one evil fairy! All of this made for a frighteningly fun time!

Ron and I had fun adding some crazy effects to some of these pictures. After all, it's not every day that we get to shoot a wedding as ghoulish as this one!

We love their sense of humor!

Felicia's costume had a definite goth sensibility, which made it perfect for a Halloween wedding!

Key ... what key?

Liz rising out of the grave

Jackie made the perfect witch, even though she is such a kind person! Her rockin' costume was a replica of the Wicked Witch of the West's from "The Wizard of Oz."

We enjoyed shooting this wedding so much! Thanks you guys! Congratulations to the bride and groom!

Seth and Amy's Engagement Session

Seth and I were in band together for all four years of high school, so needless to say it was really a great feeling when he and his fiance, Amy, approached me about doing their engagement session. We headed up to Cades Cove for a few hours on a rainy day.

The rain helped create this beautiful foggy backdrop, and of course, the fall foliage didn't hurt the scenery one bit. This couple knew how to dress for a fall session. Their colors complemented the leaves perfectly.

Her ring was really unique. I loved the design on the band.

I love the lighting in this particular shot. It was hard to decide whether to post the black and white or the color version, but I am such a sucker for black and white romance pictures so I made the obvious choice.

This cute umbrella came in handy several times for the shoot.

Seth and Amy are such a loving couple! I am glad that Ron and I got to be part of their engagement photo session. It was nice getting to see an old friend and see that he has found a wonderful person to share his life with! Best wishes you guys!

Richard and Katey's wedding

Richard and Katey had a destination wedding in Pigeon Forge in November of 2007. We went to the mountains for a few photos among the foliage and waterfalls. It was a great opportunity to try something different. They seem to be very happy together! Congrats you guys!

Katey's hair looked so pretty! She and one of her bridesmaids spent the morning being pampered at a local salon.
Richard is an avid "World of Warcraft" fan. Katey really wanted him to have a groom's cake that paid tribute to his obsession.
