As a Knoxville wedding and proposal photographer, I get asked where to propose in Knoxville all the time. I’ve also worked with enough guys in full planning mode to know that the location question is usually the first thing that sends them into a full spiral. I get it! You’re trying to pull off one […]

2026 is barely halfway over, but 2027 wedding trends are already making their way into planning conversations, and I’m so here for it! After photographing weddings for over a decade, I’ve seen my fair share of trends come and go. Some I loved! Others were… a choice. But the 2027 wedding trends I’m seeing feel […]

This engagement photoshoot at Maple Grove Estate with Malia and Austin had me thinking about it for weeks afterwards. The light was soft, and the trees were glowing; it had that golden hour warmth that everyone adores. It felt relaxed, no stiff posing. Just a slow evening walk around the property, following the light from […]

Most couples start planning a wedding at a Sevierville wedding venue, thinking about how they want everything to look, which makes sense, because that’s what you see first.

If you’re here because you’re thinking about getting married at Howe Farms wedding venue, you’re in the right place. This is part real wedding, part “how do I actually plan a day here that doesn’t feel stiff or overly traditional.” Because yes, Howe Farms is one of those Tennessee wedding venues that photographs really well.

Somewhere between venue tours and Pinterest boards, it turns into this quiet back-and-forth,  spring or fall, warm or cool, what if it rains, what if it’s too hot, what if you choose wrong? And when you’re feeling that, you’re not overthinking it. You’re […]

Some wedding venues are chosen for how they look. Others change how the day happens as you’re in it. The Magnolia wedding venue in Sevierville, Tennessee, is one of the few that does both. It’s set against the mountains in a way that immediately feels open and grounded, but what stands out more is how […]
