I first met Allie in college when we were both part of a magazine, staffed entirely by women. It’s been a joy to see her journey unfold since then! Allie and Alex’s love story began freshman year at the University of Tennessee. With mutual friends and Alex’s dorm room right above hers, their paths were destined to cross. Now, eight years later, their love has blossomed into a beautiful partnership, complete with their adorable dog, Fritter. Just the weekend before our session, Alex and Allie got engaged, making our session even more special!

I had the pleasure of reconnecting with AJ and M, an incredible couple I had the joy of working with a few years ago down in the Florida Panhandle. Life has a way of bringing people together again, and when my travel plans lined up perfectly to bring me near their new home in north Chattanooga, I knew we had to capture another beautiful moment in their journey!

Some friendships are just meant to be, and my bond with S is one of those special connections! We met in college during a photography class and quickly became fast friends. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of photographing her relationship with R, first in Miami on my way to the Keys for an elopement, and now in Knoxville for their engagement photos.

Right before I got into town this past May I got the best texts from someone who is like family and it wasn’t even words. It was a single picture of M and J, M was absolutely beaming as she was holding up her left hand showing the ring J proposed with after their run (honestly impressed he was able to hold on to it)!

C + K are high school sweet hearts. I have know C + K since high school and K and I were good friends so I distinctly remember when they started dating and lots of good memories with them after that! K and I even spent several summers down in St. Augustine along with other friends during high school. Such good times!
