As many of you know, my photography focus is and always has been children and families. I will refer weddings to other photographers who love to shoot them. But every once and awhile I have a client, who is a dear friend, ask me if I will shoot their wedding. This was one of those cases. I’ve known Fred and Kim for years and have watched them grow closer. I was extremely excited for them when I heard they were getting married and when they asked me to photographer their wedding, I couldn’t say no.

Kim and Fred’s wedding was a small family affair that took place at the beautiful RT Lodge in Maryville, TN. The weather was rainy and dreary until around 45 minutes before the wedding. At that time the sun came back out and it was beautiful. Kim and Fred had a beautiful outdoor ceremony officiated by one of their dear friends.

I had a wonderful time photographing Kim and Fred’s wedding.  Here is a photograph of them on their wedding day.

Enjoy the video of their wedding photographs.

I had the wonderful opportunity this past week to participate in the Saving Little Hearts Charity Event at Club LeConte on Thursday night.  I was one of the paparazzi for the evening, photographing everyone as they came down the red carpet.  I had a wonderful time, as I always do when I have my camera, and I hope the attendees enjoyed themselves as well.  If you haven’t heard of Saving Little Hearts, their mission statement says it best,

“Saving Little Hearts is dedicated to helping children with congenital heart defects and their families by providing emotional assistance and educational information primarily through the distribution of Care Packages.”

Check out the Saving Little Hearts website for ways you can get involved or to find out more information.

Enjoy the photos.
