I just can’t get enough of Meghan and Mena’s stunning wedding at the @powelcrosleyestate! 😍

The historic Powel Crosley Estate is truly a venue straight out of a fairytale right along the Sarasota Bay in Florida. With Mediterrean-style architecture, tall windows, and majestic balconies, you can almost imagine a princess wistfully gazing out at the water waiting for her long lost love to return from a voyage out at sea. ⚓

That’s exactly how Meghan looked as she posed framed by sunlight in front of one of the estate’s intricate windows. However, she did not have to wait long for her prince to join her. The two had their first look on the veranda then moved to the unique, all wood, rounded Ship Room to exchange private vows and a sweet kiss before their ceremony by the water.

I was so honored to have been a small part of this wedding. I wish Meghan and Mena all the best in their years to come! 🥂

If you’re interested in having me photograph your wedding, don’t forget! I’ll travel wherever you need me to go! Just fill out my contact form to let me know where I’m headed! Link in bio! ⬆️

With unique architecture and charming streets and parks, every nook and cranny of Chattanooga is the perfect backdrop for weddings, engagements, elopements, and more!

Emily and Zeke wanted to take full advantage of Chattanooga’s beauty for their photography and decided to get married in front of Chattanooga's courthouse. After signing their marriage certificate at the Hamilton County Courthouse, they immediately headed to the courthouse’s front lawn to exchange their vows. It was a sweet intimate ceremony with just their parents as their witnesses.

Afterward, we took a quick tour to some iconic Chattanooga sights for their newlywed photos. We began with a few simple photos showcasing the stunning autumn colors in the trees surrounding the courthouse. The red and gold fall leaves were a lovely contrast to the towering stone of the courthouse buildings. We ended our session with a walk around the Art District and across the historic Walnut Street Bridge to be able to shoot Chattanooga’s skyline.

Emily and Zeke were a wonderful couple to work with and we are so honored that they trusted OkCrowe for their elopement photos! For more Chattanooga elopement inspiration, head to the blog on our website! Link in bio! 👆

When the excitement of the ceremony and reception formalities are over, that's when my creative brain hits a second wind. I have time to step outside of the venue, to take it all in with fresh eyes. That's when scenes like this come to life and magic happens ✨

I’m so excited to share Taylor and Doug’s beautiful outdoor wedding at @oakleaf_cottage! 💖

Throughout their wedding planning, one of the biggest things that Taylor and Doug kept in mind was staying true to themselves. It’s so easy to get lost in the “wedding sauce” as Taylor put it that it’s easy to lose focus on why you’re getting married in the first place. So, for their wedding, they made sure to incorporate things that represented them as individuals and as a couple.

One thing that was important to them was sustainability. That’s one of the many reasons why they chose Oakleaf Cottage as their venue. At Oakleaf Cottage, not only are you hidden within stunning, picturesque woodlands, but you have the option to create an entirely environmentally sustainable wedding! 🌱

The beautiful natural landscape with rocky hills and tall trees was the perfect setting for their outdoor ceremony while the rich emerald and ruby tones of their chosen color palette were wonderfully complemented by the autumn background.

After they finally said I do, their guests celebrated by throwing sprinkles of dried flowers into the air as they walked back up the aisle in a beautiful ceremony send-off.

Taylor and Doug were such a wonderful couple to work with and we’re so happy we were a small part of their special day. If you have any questions about wedding photography or how to book OkCrowe for your wedding, fill out our contact form! Link in bio! ⬆️

Lauren and JD were an adventurous couple determined to have a beautiful outdoor wedding and the @grandviewlookoutmtn ended up being the perfect venue for them!

The outdoors have played such a big role in Lauren and JD’s love story. Their mutual love of adventure is one of the first things that they bonded over when they started dating. It only makes sense that they would want an outdoor wedding surrounded by all of the natural views that they love!

For their ceremony, Lauren and JD planned to have it outside on the Grandview’s patio. With trees above them and a sprawling view of the mountains beside them, it was the perfect place for them to promise their love for one another. Even if it rained, they were readily prepared with umbrellas on hand to keep their ceremony outdoors. After all, a little rain never hurt anyone - even on their wedding day!

Thankfully, the umbrellas weren’t needed and the entire day went by without a hitch. After their ceremony, the two took amazing portraits with the sprawling Chattanooga Valley as their background and at the end of the night, they had a charming send off beneath a shower of golden autumn leaves. 🍂

Overall, it was a beautiful day for a wonderful couple and we were so honored to have been there to capture every detail of it! 🫶
