Many times during a wedding family members will request a portrait. Because so much of my energy is solely dedicated to the bride and groom, I always offer other family members to schedule an alternate day with us for their own portraits. The Great Smoky Mountains is a fabulous vacation spot, so usually our families are here for a few days, anyway.

Brianne was part of Jill and Taylor's wedding family. I'm so glad they scheduled a portrait session with us! Spring is the perfect time of year for a family picture, and coming with a wedding party usually means the clothing issue is well taken care of!

Jill and Taylor were married on May 2nd when the buttercups in our fields were in all their glory! They spent three hours with us for photography and socializing with their family, then retired to their lodging at the Von Bryan Inn for the reception.

Heather and Tim raise sheep together on their farm back home. They enjoyed getting married on our little farm at Honeysuckle Hills on May 1st!

These images are from a few pages in the wedding album we designed for them.
