John.
John + Esmé
Esmé had contacted me several months ago about the possiblitily of photographing her wedding in Chattanooga, TN. Mariah Mayfield, her boss and friend, and one of my previous clients and friend, had recommended me. I can't thank Mariah enough for the kind words that she shared with Esmé and John that encouraged them to hire me. I LOVED getting to meet and know J + E, I was able to meet Sebastian, Mariah's little boy and I was able to see Mariah and her parents again.

John, Esmé and I spent some time around her house taking their portraits before their wedding. She had described the driveway leading to her house and I thought it was a perfect spot for photos of the two of them. It was. I love the environmental shots of the two of them together and this one is one of my favorites of Esmé because it shows her personality so well.


We spent a little less than an hour playing around in the variuos spots around the house that I thought would make for a pretty background and these are some of my favorite photos.

This is perhaps my all time favorite photo of a bride. It is so Anthropolgie like.

I LOVED her doorway to the screened in porch.


I arrived and started photographing Esmé getting ready. It was the only time that I photographed a bride and groom getting ready alone. There was a quietness and certainty that the two of them had that I had rarely felt before.

Just outside of the church I saw this lovely little corner that I couldn't resist.

Esmé is one of the most beautiful brides that I have ever photographed.

Inside the church I was not able to move around but LOVE the feeling of this photo with the high rafters and Esmé and John in the foreground.

The reception was held in an art gallery that was brought to life with bright table clothes that were in the same color scheme as some of the paintings.
...with flowers to match.
Cocktails in another room. I LOVE the dot lights on the wall.
Everyone had fun at the photo booth and then used the images in the guestbook.
When Esmé and John arrived their friend and videographer greeted them at the door.
