Real Simple is doing a feature story for their special wedding edition about weddings planned at the last minute. They needed a photographer to cover the story, so I drove up to Knoxville today to photograph Katie and Kyle's wedding and reception!
Katie is absolutely beautiful!
I love this unusual perspective of the bride and her mother conversing!
How adorable is this! The bride's daughter was also the flower girl, and needless to say, she was a little apprehensive about going down the aisle!
This moment is priceless! Katie and Kyel were exchanging vows that they had written themselves. Katie got emotional in the process and her daughter is trying to figure out why exactly mommy is crying as Kyle reads his vows to Katie!
After the ceremony and some formals by the contract photographer, I got to photograph the couple near their reception site. We got to photograph in a couple of old train cars that made for incredible images!
The train manager then gave all three of us a ride back to the reception location on a golf cart! I jumped on the back with my equipment and Katie and Kyle squeezed into the passenger seat for a fun ride!
We then photographed for a little while on the train tracks themselves, and the bride and groom were a delight to photograph!
I love the simple emotion in these images!
One of the coolest things about the evening was watching Kyle's parents interact! They're crazy about each other! And this after being married for over 20 years! Kyle's dad told Kyle's mother on the first date that he was going to marry her! How incredible!
One image that I worked incredibly hard to get during the evening was a photograph from above the dance floor of Katie and Kyle together. I think this shot is so great because you can see them, highlighted by my Nikon SB800 Speedlight, but also get a feel for the incredible surroundings! It was a beautiful evening!
Congratulations to you two, and thanks to Real Simple Magazine for a great opportunity!

Sweet opportunity!!!!
Nice work! The color train car images are my fave by far (surprised?...LOL). And that reception shot took a lot of coordination. Good for you for pulling it off!
I believe we let our subscription expire, so please show us when the issue comes out. Very excited for you.
Awesome!!! LOVE the train/tracks images!
You inspire me...
