Two years ago Trevor Bayne was chosen to be the best man in his uncle’s big day, his Knoxville wedding at Crescent Bend historic home. This weekend fate appeared to choose Trevor to win the Daytona 500, shocking the NASCAR world, and himself. I imagine those around him, who know him well, while ecstatic, are perhaps not too shocked.

Sunday night we were watching the Knoxville local news and Lynn recognised a name.  While our family is not particular fans of NASCAR, there was a lot of buzz about a local boy having won the big race, out of the blue. Names and faces are not one of my strengths, but some details do manage to stick, and I remembered a nephew who was pursuing a dream in car racing was enough for me to know it had to be him. Going back through the wedding photographs to see if I had many, any,  I had forgotten that Trevor was the best man in Anthony and Jenn’s wedding. At age 17, he was best man. Clearly someone ahead of his years. What also shows through in the weddings photographs, is what has everyone excited about locally. This is “a good kid” who knows how to have fun and ham it up, and also when to switch it off.  Reading the local press, since age five Trevor has lived, breathed and dreamt car racing, making some tough decisions and sacrifiices at an early age, with some amazing family support. He has also grown up with a couple of cameras and microphones not too far away, perhaps explaining the ease and comfort he displayed around the media frenzy for his”overnight success”.  A more deserving Best Man it would be hard to find.

Hot, hot and hot! Did Mel say that Eric’s dad brought towels and had them in a cooler for the groomsmen to cool their faces with? What a great wedding idea for a summer wedding! Needless to say.. Shayna looks incredible awesome  in the wedding images and everyone was a total trooper for all the photo taking at Crescent Bend!! Shayna and Eric’s wedding was definitely a family event! Her brother, who is a minister, performed their wedding vows. Eric’s brother also took part in the wedding ceremony and sang during the service. Great flowers by Jenny and Leonard at Always in Bloom. Jim Ogle got the music rolling and  All Occasions Catering put out a splendid fare of yummy things to eat.

Megan and Matt McGlothlin booked Seaton Shoots Wedding Photography in February of 2009 and during their engagement we have gotten to know them not just as clients but as friends. Megan planned and organized so many special touches for their wedding day. An outdoor ceremony location at the Knoxville Convention Center, cool gift bags, runners, special lighting by Divine Decor and super fun bridal portraits.. just to start. Many of you may know that Matt McGlothin was a big part of UT football. Needless to say Megan incorporated  a lot of orange from the University of Tennessee into the wedding day. The “Kerr Team” was there handling the video and music during the ceremony. And Paramount DJ and Dance got the party rockin’. Melissa Wilke and Jessica Grubb– our team of wedding photographers all worked together to get some incredible images. Thanks guys… Best wishes! You guys are off to a wonderful start.
