A few sneak peeks for Tabitha Miles and Scott Garriot. Tabitha choose some really cool things for her wedding. Besides having a totally cool one of a kind dad.. what a great dress and the flower girl’s basket was THE best for an outdoor spring wedding. Location Crescent Bend, Flowers by Always in Bloom.

When I asked Barry to tell me about Aleyna and Mickey he sent me a very long story that Brian Graham had written about them. I pulled just a few choice quotes that .. well wow are really special. The below is what Aleyna said to Mickey ..

“Michael Roger Langlais…you are my best friend.  You are the first and only guy that I’ve ever been completely myself and completely comfortable with.  I knew you were the one for me when I saw that I could act the way I do around my family with you.  My family members are the closest people in my life and I never hold anything back with them.  So, if I was acting that way around you, then I knew you were the one for me.  We’re not afraid to tell each other what we’re thinking and feeling, and because of that, we are both mutually respectful and aware of each other’s feelings.  We have the same beliefs and life goals. God seriously did bless the road that led us straight to each other. You are my best friend and I can’t wait for all the adventures our life will take us on!”

When it was Mickey’s turn a few more tears came to my eyes… I can only wish that both of my daughters will be as lucky to have  someone like Mickey to share their life with. All the best to Aleyna and Mickey. You certainly are off to a wonderful start.– Sarah Lynn Seaton

“You are everything a man could ask for.  You are my means of support ever since we have been together, either as my friend or my girlfriend. Through thick and thin, you have done whatever you can to make me happy, and I am truly blessed to have you in my life.  Your love for God is awe inspiring and a true motivation for me, something I desire strongly for my wife.  You are beautiful.  Still, every time I see you, I have to do a double-take.  I cannot believe I am still this lucky to have a woman like you.  You are perfect in every sense of the word.  I know that no matter what happens to me, you will still be there by my side, supporting me, loving me, and cherishing me.  I hope you know that I will be there for you too, no matter what happens and where life will take us.  I am the most blessed man in the world.  I love you Aleyna.”

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, 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

Missi picked up great colors for their summer wedding. Teal and vibrant orange along with a fun beach theme. Missi was way too organized and had thought of all the details– thinking that mom did help a bit.. . Really cool was the orange chinese parasols. We photographed her sister Jennifer’s wedding last year and it made it all the better to see parents and family again. They already knew Barry and what he is (usually ) up to!! We started portraits at the Montessori Garden in Fountain City and then headed to Sonlight Baptist Church to cool off! and then got ready for Missi and Matt to tie the knot. After a beautiful service and one Barry’s fun group photos all the bridal party got on the trolley and headed uptown or really downtown for fun pics in Krutch Park and up the elevator to Club Leconte… and yes it was really nice to enjoy the air-conditioning at that point.

What  a fun party they had, steel drum music and goldfish swimming in the vases on all the tables. Think the best was the speeches made by Missi’s parents and Matt’s friends.. I didn’t even know these guys and was in tears…
