The Perfectly

Imperfect Couple

 

 

If that describes you, then I am your Knoxville Wedding Photographer.

As a Knoxville Wedding Photographer, I believe each of you has a unique story to tell—

whether that’s a cozy elopement or a knock-your-socks-off celebration.

Your day is what you make it, and I’m here to support every moment.

As a Knoxville Photographer, I embrace the offbeat, heartfelt, and wonderfully flawed moments that tell your authentic story. If you’re looking for someone who celebrates who you are as individuals and as a couple without pushing a one-size-fits-all wedding narrative, I’m here for you.

Let’s capture your day in a way that’s unapologetically you—

no forced poses, no stiff smiles, just an honest reflection of your perfectly imperfect love.

Let’s do the dang thing!Feel free to contact me Arrow Icon Black Long

A memorable elopement at the foothills of the Smokies! And guess what? It didn’t actually occur IN the NPS. Shocked! 🤣

Remember, there are so many amazing locations in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Townsend, Sevierville, and Wears Valley that are perfect for a “smoky mountain elopement.” Find the place that speaks to you! This mid-century mod location was perfect for Alaina and Travis.

And then…hire me to photograph it! Easy peasy!

I sent over 47,000 images to clients in 2024. When I tell you that indecision fatigue is a real thing when posting to social media, I mean it.

So, here is a single photo to post. I love it. It’s a favorite.

The story?

Pretty simple. The best man dropped the rings and we all about lost our minds 🤣

Brides & Grooms, take note! The biggest timeline delay I saw in 2024 across multiple weddings at multiple venues?

Getting-ready logistics!

If you want your VIP (Mom, sibling, bestie) to help you into your outfit, they need to be ready before your photographer arrives.

This isn’t a requirement, but if you’re envisioning those special, candid moments—make sure their hair, makeup, and outfits are done so they can focus on YOU.

This also goes for those moments where people need to tie a tie, or fold a pocket square! Make sure to try those items on before the wedding day 😉

💡 Pro tip: Your HMUAs are amazing! Work with your hair and makeup team to create a schedule that ensures anyone helping you get dressed is ready before your photographer arrives. This keeps everything running smoothly and stress-free!
