Ashley and Ricky's Wedding

Ashley and Ricky were high school sweethearts in Knoxville, TN, and this past Saturday they held their wedding here at Bluff Mountain Inn. They were a lovely couple, and we had a great time with them. I don't think they'll mind if we use their wedding shots to tell the story of the day, as well as tell you a little bit about what we do on wedding days.

As the bride gets ready we like to pop in and out to get shots of the process. It's always quite entertaining...


We also like to take lots of detail shots to possibly use in a storybook album. This blog entry would be a good example of the type shots we'd use in an album, just fewer images here.


And lots of shots of the beautiful bride.




and her bridesmaids.





We caught a little hummingbird with an eye on Ashley's bouquet! Now we can't guarantee the hummingbird will show up, but if he does we're going to do our best to get him in the photo.


Of course the guys get in on the action as well...




A little kiss for luck and it's ceremony time!









Once the bride and groom have greeted their guests, we're off to shoot the wedding party.



Well, you've gotta have a little fun, no?


Then the bridal party leaves and it's time for portraits of Ashley and Ricky.



Sometimes a guy on a motorcycle just happens to drive up. He was a little late for the ceremony, but didn't mind letting us borrow his very nice prop...


That's called taking advantage of the situation at hand. Whether it's a hummingbird, a guy on a motorcycle or just a butterfly...


After the bride and groom portraits, it's time for the reception.




Although the focus is on the happy couple, we love to take candid shots of everyone around, just for fun...



Name that dance... we'll give you one guess.


When the reception ends, Ashley and Ricky are off to their happy honeymoon...


probably with a quick stop at the car wash!

Thanks to Ashley, Ricky and their family and friends for sharing their special day with us. We love what we do... can you tell?
