As a photographer, I find it refreshing to get out of the comfort zone that Nashville has to offer and find my way into different locations with new areas to explore. Matt and Kaitlin’s stunning, spring wedding took place at RT Lodge that is tucked away into the quaint East Tennessee college town of Maryville. There was no shortage of natural, woodsy and simply unforgettable scenery at this unique wedding destination. And the gorgeous, sunny, spring day made this a location fit for a fairytale as you will see in these timeless photographs and as seen on Style Me Pretty.

What makes a couple like Matt and Kaitlin so memorable to me is the air of sweetness that surrounded them. A kind of sweetness that is strong and uninterrupted. Each picture I got to take of them truly showcases the depth of respect and love they hold for each other. Nothing captured this better than the moment they first saw each other as bride and groom. With tears in their eyes (and mine), they spoke to each other with the most sweet and gentle purpose. This deep affection spilled over into moments spent with their family and friends. Especially the moments with people like Kaitlin’s grandfather who drove from hours away to make sure he was there for that special day (she even did a first look with him!).

Family and Friends happily enjoyed the beautiful outdoor reception that offered the tastiest food! The buffet of delicate main courses and sides was an exceptional compliment to an unforgettable evening. Toasts were made and tears were shed, happy ones of course. And the energy of the night kept going strong with an incredible live band. I think the band and the guests kept each other going all the way to the end! Kaitlin, Matt and guests all danced the night away and ended it with an impressive sparkler send off!

Photography is my happy place, and couples like Matt and Kaitlin make it so easy to go there. They made every second of their wedding count. They lived in the moment and I hope they relish the memories. Memories that I was eager to catch for them and that I know will stick with me too. Thank you, Matt and Kaitlin!
