Happy New Year

So here's the combination... you take a gorgeous bride and a good looking groom. Add in some way cool family and friends, a pretty substantial bridal party... book the inn on new year's eve (major ingredient). Get a couple of cabins for easy access. Throw in a couple of guys in kilts. Add one wedding and one new year's eve party. Mix it all up, and you've got one very nice event.

They say a picture's worth 1K words, so here's about 40K worth of words and we'll just let the pictures do the talking...




































Happy New Year and congratulations to Britteny and Daniel on a beautiful wedding and one great party!

Fringe

Congratulations to Elizabeth on the opening of her new salon! It's called Fringe, a cheeky hair salon... 513 Wears Valley Rd., Pigeon Forge, TN. 865.428.1690.



She along with the help of friends and family decorated this place from scratch (and I mean from scratch!) over the past couple of months and today they're open for business. She's a great artist and an innovative stylist. The salon will also specialize in make-up, manicures and pedicures.



It's just a fun little funky place. Stop by if you're in the neighborhood and check it out. From traffic light #3 in Pigeon Forge, turn onto Wears Valley Rd. Just as you go over the bridge, take a look on the left for the new sign.

Dana and Ben

While I was out of town Amanda decided to get a little creative with the piano shots...


We'll just call the one above one of those once in a lifetime things..


But I have to admit these are fun. (Don't try this at home...)



It was a beautiful day to photograph a beautiful bride.



And here's a fun fact. The couple above had so much fun they decided to have their wedding here next July! We can't wait... what a compliment.


I asked Dana to tell me a little about how they got together... "Well actually Ben and I and were boyfriend and girlfriend in the 8th grade. After 8th grade, my family and I moved away and I didn't talk to Ben for about 10 years. We got reconnected via Facebook. We talked and realized we still had a lot in common. Luckily, his job brought him to Tuscaloosa, Alabama last January. That was only 2 1/2 hours away from me! We were both eager to meet up and continue getting to know each other again. We hit it off immediately... and here we are one year later, as happy as can be!"



It was a small group but they had a blast.



And I love the Charlie's Angels thing.





Here's our latest discovery for a ring shot. We love to experiment with light and angles. Basically, we just love what we do.

And everyone loves our pooches. No extra charge for pooch hugs...

Congratulations Dana and Ben. Thanks for coming to Bluff Mountain for your special day, and we look forward to seeing you again in a few months!!!
