Kind words

I met Keristin when I was 15 or 16 working as a cashier at a local grocery store. 7 years ago, I would have never imagined I would be a full time wedding photographer shooting her wedding! Fun fact, I actually used to be a junior volunteer at a fire department in our town, and […]

Hayley & Brandon got married at The Allandale Mansion in Kingsport on Saturday, and let me tell you. It was perfect! We were all praying the rain would stay away at least until the reception and it did! Their ceremony was super simple and to the point, and their unity ceremony was something I have […]

Do you remember the blog post back in May about the sweet couple in Nashville? You know the one, the mountain top engagement session with the CUTEST pups?! They’re married! Alyssa is so sweet, and one of the most laid back AJPBrides! When I arrived at Nolichuckey Vineyards, the first thing I noticed was the […]

From our very first time meeting, I knew Haley and Alex were the perfect AJPCouple. They were such a joy to work with for their engagement session. They just “get it”. Photographers know what I mean! They are so photogenic, and it makes our job so incredibly easy on the wedding day. There were moments […]

This weekend, we kicked off our fall wedding season with a night wedding in downtown Bristol! Technically the venue is in Bristol, VA, but on the yellow lines right in from of the venue you’ll find the Virginia & Tennessee state line! Megan & Adam had their ceremony on the rooftop of Warehouse 817, but […]

I’ve been looking forward to this weekend’s Downtown Greeneville Rooftop wedding since I met Charles & Ann; and, for so many reasons, I know it’s one that I’ll never forget. During bridal consultations, I always ask how they met. I love hearing stories of how couples meet, especially if there was no technology involved. That […]

Back in April, I traveled to Knoxville to meet up with Victoria & Jeb for their engagement session. I had met her at a bridal show a few months prior, but this was the first time I really got to spend some time with them. I remember wondering if she was really that happy and […]

I met Marina at one of my favorite weddings back in June. She was one of Kasey’s bridesmaids, and I just fell in love with her from the moment I met her in the bridal suite. Kasey & all of her bridesmaids were the SWEETEST! So when Marina asked me if I would shoot her […]

GETTING READY When I arrived at The Carnegie hotel, I walked into Ryia’s suite and could tell their wedding was going to be perfect. The mood was joyous, everyone was in good spirits, even the little ones! Ryia’s hair and makeup was done flawlessly, her dress was STUNNING and she seemed surprisingly relaxed for someone […]

Get ready…This blog post is going to be a novel! I met Kasey & Zach last fall at a bridal show. The first thing I noticed about them is how in love they were! It was so obvious. I was so excited when they decided to book me, and after hearing details of their wedding […]
