The Stanley Family

First of all, I LOVE this family.  The Stanley’s are dear friends of ours.  And my hubby, Ryan, are close friends with the Stanley boys.  So to say they are dear to us, is an understatement.  It was a perfect fall day and we got some great pictures.

Enjoy your sneak peek guys!!  xoxox  lillian

Megan and Dustin / Knoxville Wedding Photographer

This wedding was amazing all around!  Megan and Dustin wanted to get married on the beautiful beaches of Kiawah Island, SC.  And who wouldn’t, right?  I am just amazed that they would want to bring me along!  The day was absolutely perfect.  Perfect weather, gorgeous beach, beautiful details and an incredibly in love Megan and Dustin.  I must say, I really love this destination wedding thing.  I am ready to go to Maui now,…any takers?

Enjoy your sneak peek M&J!!  xo

Beautiful Megan!!!

This is our Corona picture, without the Coronas….

This picture is just so lovely to me…

First look!!

Love all these beach ones…

Yes, that is a butterfly.  There were butterflies flying around us during the entire ceremony!

And I just so happened to catch this one flying down the aisle toward me!

My secret weapon for this wedding, besides my Nikon, was my hubby Ryan Prince.  He came and second shot with me and he took the following three pictures.  Which are on my top 10 fav pics from this wedding.  He nailed it.  Love these.  I am brewing up a way to make him a permanent fixture in the biz…

Maxey and Forrest Engaged~

This was a such a fun E. Session!  I am excited to post these and show off some Maxey and Forrest lovin’!  I’ll go ahead and just say that I adore all these images.  Just to spare you all my commentary…  I loved getting to hang with Maxey and Forrest.  They are super fun, so laid back and oh so in love.  We had a great time and we made some ah-ma-zing pictures!

Maxey and Forrest, can’t wait till April!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

Katie and Justin/ Knoxville Wedding Photographer

So here it is finally, Katie and Justin’s wedding!!!  I have been anxious to post these pictures for some time now.   And why you ask?  Isn’t there a bride and, flowers and rings like at every other wedding?  Well,.. yes.  But after loading 100 pictures from this wedding, no joke, all the details were more than just “details”. Everything was full of beautiful trimmings, eye candy and …well…just gorgeousness!  It was really quite overwhelming.  But all the decor, food and details were all in celebration of Katie and Dustin joining as husband and wife.  And that is a very beautiful thing!  Alan Brock, who is part of the Ben Finch Photography team, came along with me and got every detail of the reception that I have posted here.  Thanks Alan!

So Katie and Justin, here is a peek and reminder of your very special day~

Beautiful Katie.  I came just in time for make up.

I could not resist styling her accessories with in her parent’s home.  I want that chair!!!

And her shoes were out amazing.  I told Katie I could have photographed them all day…

The top to Katie’s dress.  I could not pass this up…

Justin the Groom.  He makes chilllin’ on a couch in a suit look so casual!

Love these!

The entire wedding was at Katie’s parents’ home.  It was a a beautiful home and a beautiful place for a wedding!

Back inside to catch Katie’s final touches…Love her hair!!!

Gorgeous!!!  She really looked just like this.  I promise I did not touch her face in post processing.  Maybe a tad bump in color saturation and clarity. That is it.  She looked this amazing in real life!

Zaaaa  RINGZZZ.  Some serious bling!

I love these all…

The reception was in the back yard around the pool area.  What a beautiful view and back drop!

When the evening came, the tented dance floor was just as magical!

So happy for you both!  xo~ lillian

Joey and Jhasta’s E. Session

Okay people, hold onto your seats.  This Engagement Session was literally the ultimate in fun-ness.  So fun I just made up that word.  Ha!  So here is the scoop.  Joey is head over heels for Jhasta.  And by the grin on her face from ear to ear, she is equally in love.  Joey is the night DJ on HOT 104.5.  His counterpart, Jhasta is a lawyer by day and a Zumba instructor by night.  Perfect couple, perfect match.  So we met over at Wasabi weeks ago and talked about their wedding.  I knew right away I had just made some BBF’s.  For real.  Then to top it off, they pitched the idea of going to the TN state fair for their E. Session.  To which my heart stopped beating and I could barely push the word “YES!” out of my mouth I was so excited.  I have dreamed of doing a shoot there one day!  And my day had come….So off to the fair we went.

Joey and Jhasta showed up in their boots and super mod sun glasses and I thought I was going to die from excitement.  To say we had a “blast” is a serious understatement.  It was so fun I could not stop laughing out loud.  And you know when you find yourself laughing out loud, you have reached a new level of “fun”.  So I did,..we did.  And the night was perfect. The end.

So I seriously CANNOT wait till their wedding next year in July.  It will be amazing!  Joey and Jhasta, enjoy and xoxoxo!    lillian

Warning:  You will see spontaneous fits of laughter and super silliness.  Just thought I’d prepare you….

They could have cared less about onlookers. I love that…

Work it…work it..

Yes, I laid on the fairgrounds to get this one….

Trying to get creative with displaying their wedding date….

Okay, so I was about to comment and say “I love this one” on the next several ones….but I won’t.  Just know that I do…!

Yes we had a blast.  Ate everything, played games…then danced the night away….
