Just a Tip!

 

for the Newly Engaged.

 

Aside from being a bride myself, I’ve been in the photography biz for over a decade. I’ve learned a thing or two about weddings - this includes the good and the stressful. The best way to share what I’ve learned is through a bit of wit and sarcasm with a side of margarita.

A couple dressed in wedding attire stands outside a modern building, taking a selfie. The bride holds a bouquet, and both are smiling. The background features reflections of trees and the sky on large glass windows.

Weddings are a celebration of our lives! They involve our communities and our families. You have found another person that you want to commit your life to, spend all your time with, and snore next to in bed. For Life! This is the ore of a wedding. This is marriage.

 

And then there is the wedding industry. I guess you could say that this page is just a part of it with “tips and tricks” on how your should or should not plan your wedding day. I certainly wouldn’t want this page to a spool in the wheel. You see, the wedding industry yells, no screajs, that your wedding day will be “the perfect day.” In fact, they tell you that this day wll be the best day of your life. A day with every detail planned to the nines, coordinated perfectly, and filled with curated things for your guests to feast their eyes upon.

 

For the love of all that is bacon, I hope your wedding day is not the best day or your entire life. I mean that. I hope you have many, many great days before and after and in-between. Your wedding day is a celebration of all of those days…past, present, and future.

 

Let me preface what is below with a few…notes, if you will. There is SO much inspiration, blog posts, and Pinterest boards out there. Some couples love the entire wedding planning process, the pomp and circumstance of a time int heir lives where everything is curated. And that is totally awesome. For others, the wedding planning process is described as overwhelming and frustrating. It’s considered a process with a never-ending to-do list that takes you down a rabbit hole you feel as though you will never crawl out of. Feeling that way is also perfectly acceptable.

 

It’s your engagement. It’s your wedding. It’s whatever you want to friggn’ make of it. So, I am going to tell you this ONE thing: YOU ARE ENOUGH. No matter what you read or don’t read on this page, I want you to remember that. Whatever you decided for your wedding and your marriage is enough. Just remember that.

Ya’ll. Surprise proposals are tricky!

When Nick reached out to me we communicated a LOT about his proposal to Alyssa.

We first started talking about going to Cades Cove but in March, the weather is unpredictable. I asked what he would like to do after the proposal and if there would be dinner plans…and my brain immediately went to @dancingbeartn.

Just near the Townsend entrance to the GSMNP, this venue has the cutest gazebo and even better food. I reached out to their coordinator and she held their date and time for me! I picked up Nick’s flower order from @melissatimmdesigns and away I went!

Everything turned out so well, and of course, she said YES.

If you’re looking to propose in the East Tennessee area, give this girl a CALL ❤️
