Rusty and Meredith - Engagement Session

Matt Dunmore Photography — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 20:01:40 +0000

Rusty and Meredith… these two are into having fun. You can see in the slideshow that I was having trouble getting Meredith to give me a serious face. That’s okay, I can work with happy people too ;)

Just for those who want to know these were taken at the riverfront area. Starting in the sculpture garden where Rusty asked Meredith to marry him. Then along the way down to the aquarium we stopped over by the Hunter Museum and then went under the walking bridge along riverfront parkway. Then over by the Aquarium.

Thanks for fun guys. Looking forward to see The Shack! Click HERE for the slideshow.

I went to the Chattanooga Market the other day and I was walking around… seeing alot of the same things as usual (good stuff mind you but the same). THEN I came across this booth that had the coolest little baby items. Holly has put ties and bow ties onto bibs and onsies. Oh my they are so cool. Anyway I had to go home and get some cash to buy some. Anyway I took some pics of the booth and promised I would post them!

You might remember this couple from the engagement session I did with them a while back where we wandered around main street stopping traffic on the red art in front of the Mission. Well last weekend was their wedding!

We started at Jessie James Salon which just opened out in Hixson. Then went to Northgate Mall to Belk for makeup. The rest of the day took place at the Cross of Christ Lutheran Church. These two are so much fun and I am sure they are going to be laughing their way long into the future. Congratulations you guys. Sorry for taking so long to get this up too :S

The Vanderleest Family

Erin’s cousin Shawna and her family are moving to TX from the east coast and made their way through Chattanooga at the end of the week. It has been a pleasure to have them and it was certainly a pleasure to go out and take some pictures for them today.

The boys LOVE love trains so the Chattanooga Choo Choo was an absolute MUST. We spent a lot of time wandering around with them and taking pictures with all the different trains here and there. I think they would have stayed there for the rest of the night if we let them. Then we went down to Coolidge Park and Clumpies to round out the night.

Thanks for coming guys! Click HERE for the slideshow.

Josh and Jessica - August 2, 2008

It may seem strange but I really love being involved in the behind the scenes of weddings. Being with the bride as she is getting ready… seeing the groom wait nervously behind the doors before he walks in with the pastor… seeing the brides father look proudly at his daughter just before they walk down the aisle. I dont usually get emotional but I really do love it!

Saturday was no exception. I drove up to Knoxville on Saturday to be with Jessica and Josh celebrating their big day. There was plenty of emotion and fun. We started at the Salon Visage in downtown Knoxville in Market Square. Really cool salon with plenty of light and room to move around. Then it was off to Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church for getting ready and the ceremony. HUGE church! I thought I was lost once but just before I admitted it I figured out where I was :) The reception was at the Orangery Restaurant, which is a really cool place. Check it out in the slideshow.

Thanks again Jessica and Josh for having me along! I wish you all the best.

Vendors:
Dress - Budget Bridals by Connie

Then they went to Candies Creek Baptist Church for the rest of the afternoon. Reception was at the Museum at Five Points in downtown Cleveland.

Peter and Whitney Carlson from Dove Photography in Nashville called me one day to see if I was available to second shoot for them… at the time I didnt know that not only would I be shooting in the foothills of the Apalachian Mountains or that it was Whitney’s sister getting married, but that they themselves would be in the wedding! How fun. So as it turned out I was to be second shooting with their regular second shooter Jen Odom.

It was a great day. Lots of fun and emotion. Everything was beautiful and the storm of the century that moved through did so without interupting ANYTHING. I am serious there were surfing waves in the swimming pool outside the reception :D Thanks for having me guys and congratulations to Jessica and Alex.

You may remember this couple from just a few weeks ago when I did their Engagement Session. They got married last weekend up on Signal Mountain at Signal Mountain Presbyterian Church. It was a beautiful day off and on and everything was just perfect. After the ceremony, everyone headed down to the Chattanoogan for the reception. I have to say I really liked the Chattanoogan. And did you see those cakes???? Tara’s Mom made those! She does it for a select number of weddings each year. Give me a call if you want her number :)

Got to celebrate Whit’s first birthday with him on Friday. Fun little guy who likes to pull himself up on the back of the couch and plop back down and laugh… but he is not so keen on the birthday cupcake quite yet :) He mostly just slung that around and didnt eat much if any of it. Thanks for having me over guys! And thanks to Kristin for arranging the whole thing :)
