St. George is an amazing church to photograph. Great color and incredible design. What was even nicer was how Russell proposed.

From their wedding site in Russell’s words:
200 tea candles, two dozen red roses and two boxes of rose pedals. Sounds pretty romanic to me.. Once 6:45 came around I lit the tea candles and waited in her bedroom with the door shut and no fan on.  I did not take into account how much heat 200 tea candles would put out!!! She saw everything and walked even slower into the room… making me all the more nervous.  I winged my speech, figuring from the heart would be the best way to make this moment special.  I got down on one knee and asked… she didn’t miss a beat and said “Yes!”   We hugged for a moment… then she asked if she could go wash her hands before putting the ring on.  We had a good laugh then decided to go blow out the candles… it was really hot in there!!!

Robin had a leaky skylight …called a roofer to come have a look.. at that point she really didn’t know Matt would end up her husband several years later. Many moons later.. (and of course the roof was fixed) Robin and Matt decided to make it permanent. They enlisted the help of Patty Szabo- Fowler (who many of you know from her column in the paper). Patty rang and asked if we had the date available. Well.. I’m  ..back in the saddle again… so to speak.. along with the help of Don and Melissa Fields.

It was the first warm day of spring. Full blue skies, wow everybody was really glad winter was over… and what a great way to celebrate!  We started at Salon Visage, then makeup at MediSpa. After arrived at the church, Don and Melissa took loads of fun images of Matt and the guys while I hung with Robin and girls getting ready.  Robin hung with us and continued to look radiant as we did all the images before the ceremony.

Party at the Foundry! which was right around the corner from the Ceremony at Second United Methodist Church. Patty and Robin had planned and designed a grand affair. Great Flowers by Sam Franklin and cake by First Fruits Catering. Great music, great weather, great food and great friends and family.. all the best to you guys! – Sarah Lynn Seaton

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

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?
