So, I've been home all of oh.... two hours, and I'm posting sneak peaks!
Anyway, Christina booked her wedding more than a year ago and asked me if I'd be willing to go to Gatlinburg, TN to do it. She was my first official destination wedding. I've been to the mountains a couple of times but mostly in the winter, or just driving through them on my way elsewhere. I must say that they are really very pretty....
I snapped this before the anyone arrived for the ceremony, what a backdrop for a wedding huh!
Chris is from Canada, so they hung a Canadian flag and an American flag...
And my fav shot from the day...

I had an awesome bridal session with Christina the other day... and since they aren't getting married till later on in the month I can't post any of the photos here... accept this one!
I loved the flowers at our location!! they were so pretty... I also took advantage of having a lighting assistant at the shoot to do some cool lighting and give her some BT style photos.... Check out the BT blog and tell me which version of this photo you like the best.
I asked Kelly & Brad the general questions about how they met, when they knew they were in love etc etc... Part of my general process getting to know the couple. When I asked the question how did you two meet Kelly's first words were not very romantic... I beg to differ, then again my definition of romantic might not be the same as everyone elses.
Kelly and Brad happened to be in the same place at the same time one night in grad school and somehow struck up a conversation with each other. They talked and danced all night, when the night was over they walked back towards their homes jumping in all the rain puddles on the way. To me, that sounds like quite the perfect meeting.
Their story Brad staying by Kelly's side for 3 days while she was sick in the hospital & Brad asking Kelly to move from New York to Florida. When Brad finally asked Kelly to marry him he drove them out to the beach to the spot he had chosen before hand and drawn a heart in the sand and the words "marry me." Going to the beach was a routine thing for them so when he pulled champaigne and glasses out of their beach bag it caught Kelly completely off guard. Brad even wrote down the exact time he popped the question!
Yeah not very romantic... ;)
They were all smiles for their engagement session, playful and loving. Brad and Kelly are a beautiful couple and I can't wait for their wedding in July!
