Madison & Logan – Elegant Vineyard Summer Wedding at Del Monaco Winery in Tennessee

Madison and Logan’s wedding day…where do I begin? I want to tell you how beautiful it was, how gorgeous the florals and the decor was, how fun the wedding day was…but I think it all pales in comparison to the love these two have. Madison is so enamored with Logan, and Logan would do literally anything within his power to make Madison smile. Their patience with each other is something we noticed. On a hot, HUMID sunny day in June and a busy schedule ahead, these two wanted nothing more than to enjoy their special day. The excitement was thick

Anessa & Luke – Family Farm Engagement Session in Granville, Tennessee

We had just pulled up to the wedding, and beside our car walked a bridesmaid named Anessa. She greeted us warmly, kept a smile on her face all day in the blistering June heat and was so helpful in her duties to her bride Julianne (wedding here). Luke was the groom Jake’s brother and the most loyal and loving best man we’d ever seen. He’s not afraid to show emotion, which we LOVE. After the wedding we kept up through facebook and watched as the two graduated high school and eventually got engaged. When Anessa contacted us about her wedding,

Sarah and Scott – Sweet Summer Saltbox Wedding

Summer and Scott never thought they’d be friends, let alone husband and wife. During their time as camp counselors they each assumed they were too different to ever be compatible, so they didn’t even talk to each other. Until they did. And they found out just how wrong they had been. Almost instantly they hit it off and the rest leads up to this gorgeous wedding day. These two actually had an official wedding ceremony a few months back but wanted to keep their original wedding plans in order to celebrate with friends and family. It was a perfect June

Hannah & Justin – Bohemian-Inspired Wedding in Sevierville, Tennessee

Hannah and Justin’s vows were the kind that make you feel amazed that two people who are perfect for each other can cross paths and change history. Their tale of finding each other in college and sparking a new love for life in each other is awe-inspiring. Their dog Scout might have slept through it, but everyone else was wiping tears as these two pledged their whole selves to each other. They day started out exactly as everyone hoped it wouldn’t: a downpour. We arrived early to scope some under-cover photo spots, and Justin’s parents’ home was perfection. The Spanish-style

Hannah & Andy – Wedding at the Saltbox Inn and Stables, Cookeville Tennessee

Hannah and Andy’s story began two years ago when simple conversation with a nurse from Alaska and a law student from Carthage grew into love. Their relationship is one of mutual trust and commitment that goes past all of the hype. It’s real, and it’s deep. Their love extends to Hannah’s daughter, and Andy even wrote vows for her and shared them publicly at their ceremony. Not a dry eye was found as little Maizy held Andy’s hand and cute as could be, wiggled and danced as she listened to his promises to her. Hannah and Andy have family that

Their story is a beautiful one of the Lord’s provision and we will share more when we blog their wedding, but right now we cannot wait any longer to share their precious engagement

8 Cheap Dates You’ll Both Love

Brandon and I firmly believe that a good marriage is stronger than romantic feelings. In fact, we think the best relationships are more about deep friendship and less about ooey-gooey emotions. Dating your partner is important even after you get married. When the emotions are less heightened, your marriage is strengthened by that bond of friendship. But we also know that money can be tight those first few years (or more) and that dating doesn’t have to cost you money. We’ve compiled a few of our favorite date ideas for those times when the budget just doesn’t allow for a

Planning Your Engagement Session Part 3: For the Fellas

Over the last two weeks we’ve been talking about dressing for your engagement session. First we talked about styling your session for a classy feel, and then we addressed some specifics for the ladies. Today’s post will be all about the fellas. You know, we know it: men look awesome in a suit. Your guy might not be keen on the idea of wearing a suit any more than he has to, (honestly in the ten years we’ve been married I’ve only gotten Brandon to wear a suit 4 times!) but when he dresses up to match your classy look,

Fresh-Squeezed Orange Juice

Brandon and I pride ourselves on being pretty healthy. We rarely get sick, so when we do, we are all about the home remedies. One thing we always do is when one of us gets sick, the other of us will make fresh squeezed orange juice. This dates back to my late mother who, upon hearing a sniffle, would quickly run over a jar of this liquid gold. There’s just something about that tangy, pulpy sweetness that makes you feel like you can kick a cold straight in the nasty green face. We can just imagine that vitamin C pulsing

Planning your Engagement Session Part 2: For the Ladies

No matter how beautiful we think our brides, every single one has an area they are self-conscious about. It’s sadly normal in our culture, and we are aware of that reality. So, here are some tricks for minimizing your areas of concern during your engagement portraits. THE BODY AS A WHOLE Choosing a flattering silhouette and colors for your body is important. It can be fun and helpful to have an honest friend guide you when it comes to choosing waistlines and silhouettes.
