Abby and Michael Richardson | Wedding | Krutch Park | Knoxville’s Market Square

It was quite hot during this one. 90+ degrees, muggy, and threats of thunderstorms. Not the best for an outdoor wedding. BUT! A brief storm DID come, but right before we were to start doing photos, and it ended almost as quickly as it started. So that cooled things off a bit and the sun stayed out the rest of the afternoon/evening.

It was a very nice ceremony held at Krutch Park in Knoxville’s Market Square.

From 2:30 until around 10, I shot continuously. Ended up with nearly 1000 images. Here is but a small sampling of the images from the wedding ceremony and the reception.

Today’s wedding at the Museum of Appalachia, just north of Knoxville.

Heather and Chris – September 5, 2009

I mention on the weddings page of my website that, while I have done the big, fancy (AKA “expensive”) weddings, I generally prefer to shoot the smaller, less traditional type. This past Saturday was certainly an example of that. Heather and Chris had a nice little wedding at their home just north of Knoxville with a small gathering of guests and no attendants. Everything was very casual. The reception was held in the Gilligan’s Island-themed garage decorated with Star Wars memorabilia – including a life-sized Yoda guarding the cake.

The most important part is, aside from the casual nature of the event (or perhaps because of it), I got some really nice pictures of the couple. Here are a few samples.

Long-awaited update

Tonight I updated my website. There are some new photos of models I’ve photographed here in Knoxville, as well as some new wedding photos. I’ve added some pricing information to make things a little more concrete. It’s been a long time coming, though it’s not drastically different from how it was before. But now that I’m blogging and shooting more, I will be making updates to the site more frequently. Everything should be working and linking the way it’s supposed to, but I’ll be checking back with it over the next couple of days to see if it needs to be tweaked any.

I’ve shot so many things in my career, from high school reunion photos to commercial photos for advertising to little leagues to running races to magazine spreads to you name it. If I haven’t done it, I’ll figure out how. If I can’t do that … well, I’ve been around long enough that I know a lot of other photographers in Knoxville who could probably pull it off.

Check it out. If you have any suggestions or critiques, please let me know. I’m definitely more a photographer than web designer, so it’s iWeb on the Mac to the rescue!
