Stacie and Doug - Wedding at The Barn at Chestnut Springs - Jaclyn Paige Photography

When Janna Fowler from All About Weddings called me for this wedding, I was so excited to work with her again.  Janna is a very organized, very calming presence at a wedding, which makes her a terrific wedding coordinator!  The Barn at Chestnut Springs is the perfect spot for a rustic wedding, with a lovely outdoor ceremony area that faces its own private hillside and valley, brimming with East Tennessee charm and beauty.  Stacie and Doug planned this destination wedding from their Ohio home, so we met for the first time on the wedding day; and they only wanted a small amount of wedding coverage, so our time with them was limited.  Just the same, in the time we did work with them, Joshua and I found Stacie and Doug to be a loving, funny, generous couple, and we predict a long happy marriage for them! Their officiant, Don Anderson of Defining Moments Ministries, perfectly incorporated Stacie's kids into the ceremony, and their DJ from Ogle Entertainment provided the perfect music for both the ceremony and the celebration afterwards!  Make sure to "Like" Jaclyn Paige Photography on Facebook so you can tag yourself in any of the images you see here!  --Jaclyn

Jamie & Terry - Holston Hills Country Club - Jaclyn Paige Photography

Last weekend Joshua and I had the opportunity to cover perhaps the biggest party we've ever been a part of!  After the wedding at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Jamie and Terry celebrated their union in style at Holston Hills Country Club with almost 300 family and friends.  With music and karaoke provided by Hal Kinney of Good Sounds Entertainment, along with their own voices and dance moves, Jamie's sisters from Delta Sigma Theta and Terry's brothers from Alpha Phi Alpha made it a night to remember!  We've never seen a dance floor so packed:  Jamie and Terry made sure their guests were prepared for the occasion and provided "dancing shoes" to replace otherwise treacherous high heels.  They also chose the PicSpot photo corner which gave them and their guests yet another way to let loose and enjoy the celebration (more fun pictures featured on our Facebook page).  Besides being a super-fun day, there were also sentimental moments marked with sweet tears like Jamie's walk down the aisle to her groom, the father-daughter dance, and toasts given by the maid of honor, best man, and father of the bride.  Danielle Elmore of Delicious Designs provided the beautiful cake and desserts, and Janna Fowler of All About Weddings made sure the day unfolded perfectly.  Congratulations, Jamie and Terry!  --Jaclyn
