Carol and Mark's Engagement Session

Carol and Mark's session was in Townsend at the venue where they will be wed shortly. I loved editing their images; I could tell they have so much fun together! (And isn't their pup the cutest?!)

















Both Daniel & I picked this one as our absolute favorite from the session!

Rachel and Brandon's Big Day Finally Arrived!

Rachel, my sister-in-law, and Brandon (now my brother-in-law, I guess!), got married last Saturday!



As Daniel and I were in the wedding, we weren't the photographers, but are looking forward to seeing the pictures, taken by Christen Jones from Memphis when they're available (we'll keep you posted). It was quite an experience being on the "wrong side" of the camera this weekend; but, we enjoyed working with Christen, or rather Christen working with us. It helped remind me of why we do what we do -- to capture memories of one of the most important days in a couple's life.

The trip to West TN was long, but SO worth it! The wedding was beautiful and we had a blast seeing family members and friends who we have been missing! My mother-in-law, her sister, and mom did the flowers, cake, and food. BUT, this was no "do-it-yourself" wedding, it was absolutely FABULOUS; and, I'm picky, so I should know! :)

We wish Rachel and Brandon the best in their marriage together and look forward to what the future holds for them! (Photos above were by Daniel, during a quick photo session of Rachel and Brandon. To see more or purchase images, visit www.danielhowellphotography.zenfolio.com)

Dana & Jonathan's Wedding

Dana and Jonathan were married at the beautiful Preserve Resort in the Smoky Mountains. We had such a great time -- and it reflects in the images!

*WARNING* This post is extremely image heavy, there were just too many to choose from, so here are a ton of our favs!










Gorgeous flowers! When I saw these flowers, I just assumed they spent a fortune on them – but not so, they actually had a quite limited budget for flowers; but aren’t they GREAT?







Part of Jonathan’s proposal:

Hiding and hanging out before the ceremony:

THE CEREMONY:

One of the most wonderfully decorated ceremonies I’ve ever seen!

Their ceremony looked over the mountains:

What's going on back there? :)

PORTRAITS IN THE MOUNTAINS:

Dana and Jonathan had allotted a couple of hours to venture out into the wilderness for their day-of portraits!

THE RECEPTION:

The feeding of the cake – which ended up with Jonathan on the couch!

No hard feelings here!

How do we get back home?

One of our FAVORITES of the day:

We enjoyed working with you both and wish you a blessed life!

Kari and Justin : Their Engagement Session

We're a bit behind on the blogging, but wanted to post Kari and Justin's session -- which took place in downtown Chattanooga. We had so much fun (especially at Clumpy's). Enjoy!











They saw an opportunity to be part of a piece of art -- why not?








LOVE this one:
