{chelsea and tec} wedding – tennessee

In my last posts I mention my trip to Tennessee to photograph photographer Tec Petaja and Chelsea Hughes stunning wedding.. Wow, that’s all I can say!!

The south was amazingly beautiful, green, very hot and humid, but well worth every single drop of sweat.. yukk..

O.k. So get ready…. this is the biggest post I have ever made here on my blog. I just couldn’t leave anything out.. well not really.. I had to leave some out cause there would have been at least 450 photos in this post instead of the 55 or so that i really posted.

  32. Rebecca - Dear God, Can I please be blessed with people who care this much about style and vision on their wedding day? If you can't supply that, can you please give me shiny, sickly sweet emotional couples and families whose love overshines all the yumminess of the material? If you can supply both, I might be eternally indebted. Amazing wedding - looks like someone put a lot of thought into the visual aspects of it.

Such a sweet and stylish wedding and you captured their charm perfectly. At the least, we're working on updating our site and adding a Real Weddings section, so I'd be happy to post a link. All the best, & Happy New Year! Claire

  55. Carolyn - Incredible photos. Just beautiful. I noticed the Southern Weddings cover photo on your sidebar and just had to see the rest of the images from that wedding. I've ended up scrolling through six months of newer posts (all amazing too) in order to find this one, but it was well worth the effort! Terrific inspiration for a new photographer like me. Wow wow wow. Thank you from all the way up here in chilly Canada.
