Stacey and David Say I Do - Southern Tennessee Wedding Photographer

Last fall I had the pleasure of taking Stacey's daughter Abby's senior portraits.  The three of us had such a fun time that afternoon, and I was so happy when Stacey contacted me about shooting her and David's wedding.  As Stacey and I talked I grew more and more excited.  Her wedding sounded wonderful - outdoor, relaxed, intimate.  I knew it would be beautiful, and I was so excited to get to witness it.  Dear friends of Stacey opened their beautiful home for the wedding and were there to help with every little detail.  It was so personal, so beautiful and so heartwarming.  I guess I have babbled on enough.  Let's get on to the good part!

I had to smile when I saw this sign marking the drive. 

And just a little farther down the drive this one...

As soon as I got to the house, I knew it was going to be wonderful.  I loved all the quilts on the hay bales.

Absolutely loved the dress.

But I fell in love with the shoes!

Stacey getting a little help into these gorgeous shoes.  A little Cinderella moment. ;-)

David looking dashing.

And Stacey looking stunning.

Ty served as best man.  I love this moment between him and his mom.

Stacey and David chose to see each other before the ceremony.  I told David to stand behind this tree before I had Stacey come out of the house.  I just love this. 

And a little peek...

Abby was her mom's maid of honor.  They look like sisters.  Just beautiful!

Finally it was time!  Stacey looking so happy as she walked down the aisle.

A few favorites from the ceremony.

And the new family.

A kiss for mom and we were off for some portraits of the happy couple.

The grounds were perfect and the wedding ended just as the sun was setting.  

A stop at the chicken coop.

And a visit with the cows.

And since it's all about the details.

The reception was in the backyard at the pool house.  What better spot for a summer evening in Tennessee?

 Stacey and David, thank you for letting me share in your wonderful day.  I am just so happy for you both.  I wish you a long a joyful life together. 

Home again.

We just returned from a wonderful stress-free week at the beach. Some much needed family down time. I love fall break!  I was so sad when we had to say goodbye to the sea.

The down week was just what I needed.  I feel so refreshed and ready to tackle all the sessions I have coming up.  I'm especially excited about the wedding I will be shooting this weekend.  Look for lots of new posts in the days to come!
