John and Jodie – February 28, 2010

Matt Dunmore Photography — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 21:05:42 +0000

I met John on Flickr several years ago maybe even before I was even a wedding photographer and we have been in contact ever since. I was so happy when he called to get some pricing from me. Then I got an email from Jodie about a date much sooner ;) I am glad it all worked out cause they are a great couple and their friends are just as great.

Their wedding and reception both took place at The Gallery in Red Bank, TN. Beautiful art gallery at the foot of Signal Mountain. All in all it was a great day and I am glad I was able to be part of it. Congratulations guys!

Bradley and Tiffany – February 27, 2010

I have known Tiffany for a LONG time… ok well not that long but in terms of my normal client relationship it has been a long time. Let’s just say Tiffany was really on the ball planning this wedding :) You can tell too. Everything was just how she wanted it and she did all of her planning so she could just sit back and enjoy her day.

Which started at Stone Fort Inn, in Chattanooga, where the brides got ready for the day. They also hosted a bridal breakfast there at the bed and breakfast. I love the atmosphere there and the staff is always so great! I hit up the Read House to catch up with the guys for a bit before heading over to the Saints Peter and Paul church for the ceremony.

Reception was at the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club where the crew always puts out a great spread. The early afternoon reception time didn’t slow down the party at all! Congratulations and thanks for having me there guys!

Mary Beth and Jarreth – October 17, 2009

Matt Dunmore Photography — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:59:25 +0000

Etowah, TN… who knew. I got turned around more than once getting there and then again on my way home. Probably only an hour out of the way in total :) Oh well. All is well that ends well.

Mary Beth and Jarreth got married last weekend in Etowah. It was cold and cloudy but that didn’t matter to these two. They were as happy as could be. First Baptist Church of Etowah is huge and they had it packed out with family and friends. Rhon’s Distinctive Floral Designs did a great good with the decorations as usual.

The reception was at Tellico Yacht Club and it was great too. Cake by Magpies. Thanks Guys!

John and Melissa – September 26, 2009

Matt Dunmore Photography — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 01:47:57 +0000

From what I can tell these two have the best group of friends and family a couple could ask for. They were all just a pleasure to be around and work with.

My day started with Melissa, her sister and their grandmother at Salon LaBella. I arrived in a full downpour and left under sunny skies. Chattanooga weather can be so unpredictable. Then we all headed off to Lookout Lake Bed and Breakfast out in Lookout Valley for the rest of the day. John and the guys were already there when I got there. They were unloading the beverages for the reception. John works as a distributor so they had that angle covered pretty well. I dont think anyone went thirsty ;)

The wedding was held on covered patio upstairs due to the forecast for more heavy rains. Even though it didn’t rain anymore better to be safe than sorry :) Reception was both up and downstairs and was a lot of fun. Standing Room Only can put on a good party too!

Congratulations guys and thanks for letting me be part!

Lauren and her bridesmaids, special friends and family started their day at the Mayor’s Mansion for a bridal luncheon. Breakfast, mimosa’s, and pull cake… good stuff :) Then it was off to Hair a Go Go for hair and makeup. Kristen hooked Lauren up with a great up do and Sarah did a great job on her makeup. Girls went back to the Mansion to get ready for the rest of their day.

Toby and Beth – July 11, 2009

Matt Dunmore Photography — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 02:20:22 +0000

Hard to believe I am this far behind on blogging. I shot Beth and Toby’s reception almost a month ago and I am just getting some time to get caught up on photo work.

They got married the week before on the beach and had their celebration at Toby’s mom’s home in Cleveland. I was only there for the reception though :) It was a fun night of dancing and and unexpected swim at the end of the night thanks to the groomsmen! Most everybody in the bridal party ended up in the pool.

Nathan and Jen – June 27, 2009

Matt Dunmore Photography — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 02:38:15 +0000

I had the great oppurtunity to shoot with Nellie from Nellie Photography again at the end of last month. We shot a wedding together last February in Chicago and I helped Alison shoot her sister’s wedding in Nashville where I met both Jen and Nathan as part of the bridal party a couple years back. Anyway, this time it was Nellie’s brother Nathan who was getting married and they did so in St. Louis.

I was with the guys at the hotel as they got ready and headed to the church. Beautiful Catholic church in St. Louis. We did some fun group shots in the hottest weather ever! Seriously I think it was about 110 degrees! The Reception was in the St. Louis Zoo in an indoor pavilion which was thankfully A/C! What a great day and couple of great families. Congratulations you two!

Matt Dunmore Photography — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 01:27:06 +0000

What a great day! Ross and Taylor got married at Signal Mountain Presbyterian Church but our day started at my favorite salon… Hair a Go Go! Kristen Morten hooked Taylor up with her hair do.

The ladies then headed to a family friend’s house for a bridal lunch then to the church to finish getting ready. The guys showed up fully dressed and ready to roll :) The church was gorgeous as usual and Dr. Dudley did a great job.

Let the party begin. The reception was at the Double Tree downtown Chattanooga. What a party. The Standing Room Only Band kept the guests on their feet the whole night. Party went until 11:00 when the bride and groom were whisked away by a horse and carriage!

Chuck and Donna – May 16, 2009

Matt Dunmore Photography — Fri, 29 May 2009 03:19:06 +0000

I had the great pleasure to celebrate with Chuck and Donna on their wedding day. Started out at Lulu’s in North Chattanooga, which was way cool. I had never been in before and I was pleasantly surprised. The rest of the day was spent at the Fairyland Club on Lookout Mountain. They have built a gorgeous new area for outdoor events. It was really a great location.

Anyway it was threatening rain all morning and just as the ceremony was in full swing, the sky opened up and it rained pretty heavy. It was kinda fun and I don’t think anyone minded. After all the party was moving inside anyway. The folks at the club put on a good spread and Sweet Georgia Sound kept the place full of great music.

Thanks for letting me be part of your wedding day guys!

Andy and Evonne – March 7, 2009

Matt Dunmore Photography — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 02:00:26 +0000

I have sort of an idealistic view of wedding days. I always feel like they should be low in stress and high in joy. A true celebration if you will. I have obviously never been a bride and never planned a wedding ;) Evonne and Andy had the kind of day I think of when I think about weddings. They were both just filled with joy and love.

While Evonne was getting her hair done at Flirt which is a really cool place btw, Andy called and she lit up. When she hung up she said to her friends that were there with her “I am going to MARRY him!” It was fun to hear her so excited. Anyway thanks to Andy and Evonne for having me along for your celebration!
