Wedding at the Hermitage and Tulip Grove Mansion

Amanda and Ryan were married on September 25, 2010 at the Hermitage chapel with their reception at Tulip Grove Mansion which were all on the grounds of the Hermitage, the historic home of Andrew Jackson.  Its so much fun for a photographer to shoot in these old Antebellum homes because they were built before electricity so they are designed to give you tons of beautiful window light.  Plus, they have gorgeous grounds.

The shots below were taken a week prior to the wedding during Amanda's Bridal Portrait shoot.  We shot her bridal portraits at the Hermitage also.  It was great shooting with all the time we wanted and we took advantage of the overcast skies and shot until it was close to being dark.

Knoxville Wedding for Amy & Nick

Nick and Amy were married on July 17th at Greystone Presbyterian Church in Knoxville, TN with a reception at Calhoun's on the River.  The newlyweds live and work in Nashville but thought a Knoxville wedding would be appropriate since they met and fell in love at UT.  Everyone was all smiles despite the heat and very gracious in letting me get so many silly shots in the children's theatre section of the church.  Also, I bought a UT football helmet for the occasion and got some fun shots of the bride and groom wearing it and it was a hit at the photobooth!  

Nick and Amy were referred to me by Nick's boss Matt Irwin whose wedding I photographed 2 years ago.  Matt and his wife Michelle worked as the DJs for the wedding and I have to say they did an amazing job.  www.irwinentertainment.net  This is the 2nd time I've had the opportunity to work with them (other than their own wedding) and I would recommend them as DJs anytime.  Matt was fun and engaged with the crowd from announcing the photobooth to having the guests circle around the bride and groom for their first dance and then to rush them for a giant hug which worked out great for photos!
