Amie and Ronald - Wedding at The Barn Event Center - Jaclyn Paige Photography

Amie and Ronald's wedding at The Barn Event Center in Townsend was one of the most fun and relaxed weddings we've ever covered.  While part of that was due to their doing a First Look before the ceremony, the main reason it was such a great day is that they are such a cool couple, and they suit each other perfectly!  A lot of their planning included personal handmade touches (the two of them made the ring bearer's box), and many of the elements of the day were taken care of by people close to them: friends did the flowers (The Crazy Daisy), cake (Maria Daidone), and music (Brandon Blanchard); and Ron's grandfather officiated the ceremony (for which they wrote their own vows.)  Amie and Ronald arranged The Barn's seating in the shape of a Celtic cross, so they were literally surrounded by family and friends during the ceremony.  Beyond that, the catering and event staff at The Barn Even Center are super friendly and efficient, and it's easy to see that they enjoy their jobs.  Their food was awesome, too!  Heather from Simplicity Event Planners  coordinated the details of the day, and she is seriously one of the most effective planners we've ever had the pleasure of working with: on top of every detail but also a kind and relaxing presence on a busy day.  The party really got going when the gigantic glow sticks appeared and guests filled the dance floor-- so cool! Ronald and Amie are so in love (even though Ronald refused to let those tears fall, they filled his eyes a couple times!) and we wish them all the best as they start married life together!  Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Cohorst!  --Jaclyn

Ashley & Sean - Wedding at Tuckaleechee United Methodist Church - Reception at The Barn Even Center - Jaclyn Paige Photography

Ashley and Sean said their vows at the Tuckaleechee United Methodist Church- a great little stone building with lots of charm.  Ashley found her amazing dress at A Joyous Occasion in Knoxville.  After pictures, we headed down the road to The Barn-- Event Center of the Smokies.  There, the couple and their friends and family enjoyed a beautiful meal and then danced the evening away to music provided by Chuck Amstone.  He really kept the party going!  Just look at these pictures!  Sean and Ashley included so many personal mementos in their colorful decor and let their personalities fill the room!  From the Wizard of Oz paraphernalia in one corner, to the homemade quilts in another, and then three different themes on three different cakes, Joshua and I were busy snapping away to capture everything Ashley and Sean had worked so hard to pull together.  It was a great day!  (I say that every time, I know.  I just love my job!) --Jaclyn
