Amy's Bridal Session - Jaclyn Paige Photography

A few weeks ago we met Amy at Campbell Station Park.  We spent a few hours exploring the terrain, and her up-for-anything attitude let us try some ideas that resulted in amazing images.  We couldn't share these pictures then because Brian hadn't seen her in her beautiful vintage dress, but now that they're married, you can take a look. -- Joshua

Lindsey & Derek - The Mansion in the Sky - Cabin wedding in the Smokies - Jaclyn Paige Photography

Lindsey and Derek officially became a Mr. and Mrs. at the Mansion in the Sky cabin in Gatlinburg.  Joshua and I have had the honor of capturing many destination weddings in the Smokies for couples coming from places like Ohio and Alabama, but this was by far the biggest and most, shall we say, celebratory occasion yet!  They enjoyed the company of around 100 guests- all of whom traveled from afar to witness their nuptials.  We had to wonder how big the event would have been if they held it in their home state!  Another piece of Ohio they brought with them other than the crowd was the array of delicious cupcakes from A Sweet Life bakery in Cincinnati.  Lindsey and Derek's vows were so special and personal as they promised them to each other with the mountains as their backdrop.  We were thrilled to share in their unforgettable day! --Jaclyn

Sisters in the Woods! Family Portraits - Jaclyn Paige Photography

Brittany and Ariel, while on vacation in Gatlinburg with their dad, spent a morning being pampered at About You Salon.  Then, these beauties met me in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park where we wandered through the woods finding pretty spots for portraits.  Not a difficult task, and with the girls looking so nice, my job was just plain easy!  Here are just a few of the images from the day.  --Jaclyn

Caelan 3 Months - Jaclyn Paige Photography

Caelan is definitely growing!  It was exciting to see how much he had changed between his newborn session and the three-month point.  He is starting to smile and hold his head up, and his sweet little personality is beginning to emerge.  Not to mention Tabitha and Geoff seem to be adapting well to parenthood.  I can't wait for the six-month session in November!  (Oh, and take note of the basket- already he's getting big for it- it's the same basket we used for the newborn portraits.  Will he even fit by the time he's a year old?)  --Jaclyn

Alicia & Shawn - Dara's Garden Wedding - Jaclyn Paige Photography

Alicia and Shawn chose Dara's Garden in Knoxville for their wedding location- and what a beautiful choice!  Their outdoor ceremony and reception were warm, yes, but the whole day was a really sweet celebration of a great couple.  With seven bridesmaids and groomsmen, plus lots of family and friends, Shawn and Alicia were surrounded by people who just think the world of them.  And you can tell they think the world of each other, too.  Yummy food from Rothchild's catering and music to match the mood by Special Notes DJ made the whole day all the more memorable.  Check out some of the dance moves below, too (Joshua loves to capture the "impossible" shots!)  --Jaclyn
