Kristen & Ty | Knoxville Wedding




Spring has been a wedding wonderland around here & I’m loving every single minute!



Here’s a quick preview of last Saturday’s wedding.

I seriously think we work with the best couples ever!

Kristen & Ty were fun, laid back, & oh-so sweet!



We traveled to Knoxville for their Crescent Bend wedding.  Did you know that Darrell & I are from Knoxville??

Yep, we are!  Born & raised… & we still call it “home”.  Go Vols!:-)



I’ll be posting this wedding in 2 parts.

Here is Round 1:

Enjoy!


We joked that Kristen looked like a beautiful Barbie Doll Bride… So pretty!!


And the bridesmaids… they were HILARIOUS!

You’ll see more of their shenanigans from the reception pics.

I love these girls!!


I am a little crazy about the next two images.

Classically  Southern.


Sweet & teary eyed mamas…



Keep your eye out for Part 2, coming soon!

Until then, leave Kristen & Ty some comment-love below.



Kristen & Ty,

You are fabulous!

Hope you’re enjoying Charleston.

Tell the Atlantic Ocean we said, “Hello!”

Hugs,

K & D

Kristen & Ty | Knoxville Engagement





I swung by K-Town on the way home from last weekend’s South Carolina wedding… to shoot an engagement session for this sweet couple.

Meet Kristen & Ty.

They are crazy-in-love, easy going, & they know how to laugh.

I was instantly smitten.




And, if all that wasn’t enough…

It was freeezing outside!  Literally people, our hands were numb.

However, these two had the best attitude & never complained.

Love them!




Here are just a few of my faves…





Hottie alert.
Kristen decided to heat things up a bit.  :)



Kristen & Ty, I cannot wait for your beautiful wedding in just a couple of weeks!

Sloan Family | Fairview, TN




Here are some of my favorite images from a shoot last weekend.  Isn’t this family adorable?!!

Their Christmas gift was a portrait session with me.

And then after I met them, I decided that I was the one who probably benefited the most.

They are precious!







 


We are headed to Fripp Island, SC tomorrow to shoot a wedding… & then stopping by Knoxville on the way home for an engagement session.

So, I will be out of the studio for a few days.  Please email me if you need anything & I’ll get back to you as quickly as possible.



Speaking of needs… I need you to pray for our sweet dog, Ellie.

She got into a bar fight last night & lost.

Our girl is mangled up pretty badly.  :(

Scared us all to death… but, I’m hopeful she’ll bounce back quickly.



Thanks Friends!

Xo,

K
