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

New Year’s Wedding was the perfect start of the new decade for Kristen Firestone and Michael Dees. Love the floral design. Great flowers! purple with a mix of creme tones …. by Always in Bloom. The bride wore a simple but elegant dress. I was told by Jim Ogle of Ogle Entertainment that fun was had by all when he got the music going ….fun group of friends. All the best to Kristen and Michael! To see all the previews go to http://www.seatonshoots.com/previews

I don’t usually get to know the grooms very much at all but Debbie and I got really used to Justin popping by the studio to chat and keep us up to date on the progress of their big day. Since they live just up the road from us I hope we have some new found friends to go out with!!

Mel was on board for the rehearsal which was at the Great Southern Brewing Co. in downtown Knoxville. Justin is a bit of a beer afficionado so the place was apropo!! Seems as if a great time was held by all.

On to the big day which took place at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and then on to the Crowne Plaza right after the ceremony. Bella Fiori Florist arrived with beautiful bright fall colors that complemented all the details that Justin and Rachelle had put together.

Lots of fun details, Converse shoes worn by the groomsmen, great CD put together by Justin and all around good time had by all!! The icing on the cake .. so to speak was the groom’s cake by Peggy of Magpies. Is it a cake or a Guinness?

ok.. why did Barry end up with so many pictures of you guys kissing? Guess you are off to a great start!! All the best. SLS

Kristi Willocks and Justin Stringfield became man and wife at Butterfly Gap this past fall. East Tennessee has had the wettest fall in decades and Krist and Justin managed to find a day where there was space in between the clouds to celebrate their nuputials. Kristi chose bright vibrate, autumn colors for her bouquet designed by Coulter Florists of Maryville. Red dresses for her bridesmaids pulled the entire color scheme together. Neal from All Occasions Catering once again created yummy and fun food! Hamburgers, a french fry bar with assorted toppings and to top it off an ice cream bar for the groom’s cake.

All of our upcoming brides will get a 6 pence to go in their shoe. Barry gave one to Kristi which she managed to attach to her sandal. This British tradition comes from an old rhyme which goes….

“Something old, something new

Something borrowed, something blue

And a sixpence for her shoe.”
