Slip into a Sleeve- Wedding dresses with sleeves are BACK in style 0

This post is course NOT from Barry. About the only thing he shops for is camera gear and well camera gear… oh.. chips and beer.  While I really love the strapless look… This is for all the brides  that need something to hold up their dresses  ( ie me  .. sarah lynn seaton aka Barry’s wife). Amen that sleeves are coming back into style!! Love to hear some thoughts from Brides that are dress shopping.

Reposted from Wedding Aces thanks to Jessica

Classic and timeless, finding a gown with long sleeves has been no easy task! Thankfully, that traditional style element is making a comeback, and brides who dream of never seeing another strapless gown again are heaving a collective sigh of relief! At their most flattering when constructed of light, malleable fabrics such as lace, organza, chiffon and dupioni, sleeves subtly turn up the volume on style.

Ian Howard and Beth Eason
A wedding @ Second Presbyterian Church
0

Ian and Beth…What a great day! Here is a little post to surprise you when you get home from your honeymoon at Dancing Bear Lodge. ( one of our fav places to go in the Smokies!!) Great Flowers by Lisa Foster Floral Design. Love the painting of the Art of Marriage.. who is the artist?? I want one!!

Thank you for asking us to be a part of your special day.. and yes Barry said the sky really was that color blue -no photoshop done on that image!! You guys couldn’t have asked for a better day. All the best to your new family and we welcome Beth to Second Presbyterian Church.

THE DOG.. Not a wedding image but he was part of the day and one of the big things that Barry does is tell the story of the wedding day. Yes he can take fashion- inspired images and yes we can retouch images so they look vintage BUT.. what really matters is the story behind your wedding day. Who was there and how you felt on the the day. What better way to remember and relive the memories by looking at your wedding album.. - posted by Sarah Lynn Seaton

Jan Duncan and Glen Hast- A Wedding with Red Roses and White Snow 0

Jan Duncan, a Knoxville native, met Glen in Colorado where they both now live and work. They came back to Knoxville to share their big day with family at Crescent Bend. A dusting of light snow covered Knoxville and highlighted the red roses Jan had chosen to showcase the wedding day. It is always special when family heirlooms can be part of a bride’s day. Jan was given a Tennessee pearl and diamond necklace by her grandmother, Ruby Day Phillips, very simple but elegant and had a sixpence in her shoe to bring her good luck. All the best to Jan and Glen as they start their new life out west in Colorado with their many cats…. To see all the previews go to http://www.seatonshoots.com/previews
