There is only one word to describe Anne and Chase: adorable. I know, I know, I completely overuse the word. But this time, it’s for real. These two work together for Yoke Youth Ministries, spending time with middle schoolers on a regular basis. And you can just tell, they’re service-oriented and have huge hearts. Anne is roommates with Allie (remember the engagement session I shot for her and Joshua at the Biltmore last spring?), so I was of course honored when Anne, on Allie’s recommendation, contacted me about shooting her wedding in December in Knoxville. Yayyy referrals! And it just so happened that last weekend was the perfect time to shoot their engagement session, since we were already planning to be in town to go to a Halloween party (which ended up being a huge reunion of a lot of our old Knoxville friends who have moved away in the last couple of years, so it was great to see them all!).
When I learned that Chase’s parents own Camp Ba Yo Ca, and that the outdoors and youth ministry are such an important part of Anne and Chase’s lives, I originally suggested we go there to do their session. Unfortunately, with it being the off season, they were doing a lot of construction, so Chase suggested we go to Ijam’s Nature Center instead. I hadn’t been since elementary school field trips, and I had clearly forgotten how gorgeous the property is. Knoxville photographers, take note: this place is a gold mine for photos! When we first arrived in the morning, there was a thick layer of fog everywhere, and I was literally bouncing in my seat as I was pulling in because I was so excited to shoot in it. Then, by the second half of of the shoot, the sun came out and gave us some crisp, lovely fall light, so I got everything I could’ve wanted. Throw in a super cute and sweet couple and well, I was in my element. Without further ado….
Ahhhh…. stunning!
Hands down my fave. The fog just made this so magical and ethereal. Mmmmm…
Anne, you’re gorgeous, ‘kay?
Second fave. Open field, morning sun, plaid shirt? Love.
STOP IT WITH THE CUTENESS!
Thanks Anne and Chase for a great morning! Can’t wait for your wedding!

(Sigh…) I love this, Mo. And it makes me want to schedule all my shoots super early in the morning. With “Daylight Savings” coming up next week, it’s going to be nearly impossible to schedule shoots unless it’s early in the morning. This makes me excited for it, though. Well done! And love those foggy-shots-soooo ethreal!
