This couple has been great to get to know. I love connecting with my clients and Tom and Nina’s wedding was not only gorgeous, but full of very interesting details. From the story of how they came to choose the location of their wedding (Tom’s family’s estate, complete with a historical home built over 130 years ago by Highlands’ only dentist), the story of how they met (she called the wrong brokerage office for some advice on moving her IRA…Tom was ‘Broker of the Day’), his groom’s gifts (clocks made out of the pistons from the Jaguar v12 engine that is the coffee-table on BBC’s Top Gear - Tom is a huge car buff), to Tom’s cufflinks (his great-grandfather’s - the highly decorated General George H. Olmsted )….there is just so much to this couple and I enjoyed hearing all the stories.

Nina is gorgeous….I love how happy she looks here.
The flowers were done by the incomparable Dutchman’s.
This shot under the weeping willow is one of my favorite… 
I teared up when I took this one, Tom seriously is smitten with Nina and it shows!
The donkeys were so sweet.
The main house is rumored to be the oldest in the county….
Pralines were made on the premises - a must have for a truly Southern wedding…
These tents were huge! Mountain Party Tents made it all look so easy.
There were five smaller tents set apart from the main party tent to let guests get away from the noise for a little relaxation and conversation.
There were eleven foot tall iron trees drenched in flowers and candlelight….
Ahhh, if only I had a wedding picture like this of my husband and I….
Hassel did a great job of catching these moments.
See, he is such the smitten kitten!
Epting catering was phenomenal at making everyone happy they had attended!
Nina just glowed (here she is at the Old Edwards Inn) …..
Now, this is one wedding where I could not do it all myself. I can not thank my second shooters enough - yep there was more than one. It was a team effort on this, Hassel Weems shadowed the groom while I was at a different venue with the bride. Jeannie Edwards was put in charge of getting some great detail shots. And my college-going assistant, Krystal, stepped in to get some valuable experience shooting weddings. Add on my husband, Tim, serving as ‘pack-mule’, and we were a force. As we were leaving the wedding that night we lamented the fact that we didn’t have someone to take an image of all of us together - you know, Reservoir Dogs style! :) I could not have gotten it all without you guys. Thank you!!
Until then, I hope you enjoy the
