Blog shame. It’s when you love a wedding but get so behind that it takes you 3.5 years to blog it. Go ahead, make fun of me! I did it to myself. This one is a beauty. Sarah & Clint had a heartfelt Knoxville wedding at Riverdale School. Their morning ceremony preceded a brunch reception & the couple headed to their honeymoon that evening. This is the type of wedding that reminds everyone that the whole GETTING MARRIED part is more important than anything else. My favorite moments, hands down, were the ridiculously sweet vows & the romantic kiss. I highly approve of Clint’s choice for a groom’s cake- BANANA PUDDING! l I loved  that Sarah chose Tennessee’s state flower, the iris, for her bouquet. In all my time photographing weddings, I can’t recall another iris bouquet!  From personal details to joyous moments, I was so happy to be a part of my dear friends’ wedding.
Knoxville Wedding at Riverdale School

Knoxville Wedding at Riverdale School

This summer Knoxville wedding at Riverdale School felt perfectly Tennessee. The Riverdale School is a sweet historic schoolhouse situated in the Knoxville countryside. Sweeping mountain views & an adorable green vintage gym are perfect spots for a wedding. The blooming sunflower field at Seven Islands State Birding Park bloomed at the right time to give us a breathtaking setting for photos after we left the reception. Sarah & Clint were troopers during the humid August heat! Thank you to my second photographer, John Shim, who photographed some of the photos featured in this post. Check out Sarah & Clint’s feature on Southern Weddings!
