Outdoor weddings just for two are in high demand here in the Smoky Mountains. Horse lovers particularly love our farm, as did Laura and James. They wanted an intimate setting for their wedding ceremony with the horses in the background. I asked my daughter to pour a little sweet feed for them by the fence, so of course they lingered from "I Do," all the way to the first kiss!

With a little more assistance from my daughter I was able to capture a very dynamic image of Laura and James. I'm sure she was in agony holding her pose while we raced our quarter horse, Gambler, all around them for the perfect wedding photograph. Gabbi, my second assitant, lifted the sash of Laura's dress and let it fall at just the right moment.
