opolka-8599Finally, their day after photos!  After Tim and Kate’s wedding, we did the only INSANE thing to do–go back into the tourist trap known as Cades Cove on a holiday :)   I’ve got a serious love/hate for Cades Cove.  I love love love the scenic backdrops, but I am not a patient person, and the one-way 11 mile road at 10 mph literally takes all day!  However, I must say, that it was worth it.  We had to bust some butt to get out of Cades Cove to get them to their reception on their wedding day, so there was really no time for portraits of the 2 of them in the park.  The perfect solution:  a day after session.   We got some beautiful afternoon sun, which provided killer light for our session.  And of course, we shot into the night after the sun went down.  Kate was my first 2 dress brides, she wore a modern gown for their ceremony, but for the reception she donned her Grandmother’s wedding gown, from the 1940′s. Isn’t it beautiful?

Another adventurous engagement session in the great smoky mountains national forest . . . or Cades Cove as it’s better known.  The weather was horrid on the 2 hour drive there, going in and out of downpours.  I had my doubts, but because Mark and Mary came up from Birmingham for their photos during Spring Break, this was our only chance to get their photos taken before their May wedding.   As soon as we ventured into the 11 mile scenic loop, the rain calmed to a drizzle, for which I was incredibly grateful!  Thanks for getting putting up with the crazy weather, guys.  I hope you like your preview!
