There were truly an abundant amount of beautiful moments is this Reserve at Bluebird Hill wedding on the edge of west Knoxville. Which made picking only a few pictures to show nearly impossible (there’s a link to more below). Lindsay and Jason make the perfect team and were so much fun to work with. You could really see how much they cared for each other.
Apparently, Lindsay and Jason had decided on no gifts before the wedding but still wanted to exchange cards. So like good photographers, my second shooter, Matthew, and I were ready to photograph the card exchange. However, Matthew secretly radioed up to our location and told me to “be ready”. Hello? I’m always ready! Turns out that Jason ignored the pre-arranged no gift policy and informed us Lindsay would “just have to get over it!”. Adorable! I love getting to capture those moments. It was so sweet to witness and photograph Lindsay as she was showered with jewelry and her favorite- candy corn! Congrats y’all, it was such a joyous day to be a part of.
WHY YOU SHOULD DO A “FIRST LOOK”: It’s not uncommon to hit a few time snags on a wedding day, which is natural. It’s an exciting day, and time starts to fly. However, this wedding day really flowed perfectly! As a photographer, I obviously want to maximize time for portraits without taking away from the couple getting to enjoy each other and their guests. Lindsay was on the same page. Planning plenty of time before the ceremony for pictures not only allowed for me to gets tons of great images, that I wouldn’t have had time for later, but it also gave these two the freedom to actually relax and take in their whole reception (I only had to steal them away for 5mins for a few night shots). Perhaps the MOST important thing to note is this though… check out the emotion in the first look and the ceremony, it’s still just as real and raw. First looks allow you to embrace and share that moment with each other without the crowd of a congregation, and then re-live the excitement all over again down the aisle.
