Graystone Quarry Wedding There is one major theme that stood out to me at this wedding: joy. The same word that I use to describe the Amanda May Photos’ brand. It’s exciting as a photographer when you get to work with a couple that aligns so perfectly with the brand that you work so hard […]

Lighthouse Knoxville Wedding This was my first wedding at Lighthouse Knoxville. The drive in leads you to face a gorgeous horse farm, which became the backdrop for most of the photos. Not only was it gorgeous, but it was also the direction of sunset, which meant it would be in the background for best lighting. […]

Relix Theater Wedding I haven’t shot a Relix Theater wedding since they remodeled, and you guys, it is SO nice. They completely transformed their space from something that looked more like a concert space to a high-end downtown wedding venue. There were three things especially great about it: 1) The sun sets directly in front […]

2018 Favorite Wedding Photos Every year I put together a post at the end of the wedding season made up of my own personal favorites from all the weddings I shot that year. This year I did something a little different. I marked my favorites as I went this year instead of going through every […]

Lexington Courthouse Wedding Exactly four days after Christmas, Dustin and I headed back to Somerset, KY where his family lives. A really close family friend of the Fothergill’s was having a Lexington courthouse wedding, and they wanted me to photograph it. It always means a lot when family friends choose me as their photographer. They […]

Fountain City United Methodist + The Foundry Christmas Wedding On December 22, 2018, Katie Bales married Chris Kelly at Fountain City United Methodist Church. Afterwards, we went to The Foundry in World’s Fair Site to celebrate with a reception. One of my favorite shots of the year came from this wedding. It’s the one with […]

Spence Cabin Proposal Jonathan and Josie were in town visiting from North Carolina for the holidays. They had been together for 6 years when Jonathan decided it was time to put a ring on it. He contacted me on Tuesday this week inquiring for a surprise proposal in Cades Cove on Wednesday…as in the next […]

Colorado Destination Wedding On December 5, the Fothergills flew to Denver, Colorado 3 days before my little sister’s Colorado destination wedding in Breckenridge. I’m not going to gush too much of the details of our vacation time because I have personal pictures saved up for that, but I will tell you, if you haven’t ventured […]

Cades Cove in the Smokies I hope each of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are now decked out in full on winter gear, singing Christmas songs, and wrapping presents to go under your tree. You would never know by looking at these pictures, but it was FREEZING the morning of Taylor and Austin’s pictures. […]

Estate of Grace Session Another Estate of Grace session?!?! Yup. Are you getting tired of them yet? Yeah, me neither. I’m thinking next year, I just need to do one mini session day there so all the families that want an Estate of Grace session can come, and we can do them all at once! […]

Black Fox Farms Wedding This is the second wedding I have shot at Black Fox Farms, and both weddings have been AMAZE-balls. The first wedding was for Nikki and Austin a couple years ago, which you can see here. The farm has two different ceremony sites, both of which are stunning. The location that Morgan and […]

Studio & Lifestyle Newborn Avenly Burton is here, you guys, and she is sooooooo stinking cute. This girl could literally sleep through anything. I guess that’s what happens with all children after your first one, but seriously, you should have seen her at her lifestyle newborn session. Her two big sisters jumped around, played with […]

Toqua Campground Wedding In the history of great sunsets for this year’s wedding season…this one is ranking number one. When I first met with Hannah and Matt, one of the things that was most important to them for their Toqua Campground wedding was the pictures. If a couple starts out our meeting with telling me […]

Upstairs at Midtown Destination Wedding This Upstairs at Midtown wedding was so much fun on so many levels. I absolutely loved how Kaera and Adam did their own thing regardless of tradition. Let me explain a little bit about how the weekend went. Both Kaera and Adam are brunch people so they knew from the […]

Meads Quarry Sunrise Session This past weekend I was in Charleston, but the weekend before that, I had a Sunday wedding in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Since it was on a Sunday, I got Saturday all to myself. My only Saturday in the whole fall season that I got off to do all […]
