Kami + AJ : Myers Point Barn and Bluff Wedding in Sewanee, TN

June 7, 2023 by Jensey 1 Comment

I’ll never be able to put into words what an honor it is photographing someone in “the industry.”

Anytime a makeup artist or planner mentions they hope we photograph their wedding someday, my gut response is always, “Are you sure?!?” This was the case with Kami, one of our Disney wedding planner friends. While we aren’t Disney cast members, the team at Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings and Honeymoons most certainly makes us feel like one of their own!

When Kami first booked her wedding date, it was our farthest-out booking and felt like it would never get here. Being from Tennessee myself, I couldn’t wait to photograph this charming little town; I’ve only driven through and had no idea what views were in store. <3

We *loved* working with DeDe, the planner’s planner! There can be a lot of pressure being the planner for a wedding planner bride, but DeDe was grace under pressure when it came to making a rain backup call and the whole day was just *so* easy. Well… besides that brief time after the ceremony (as we were trying to rush to newlywed portraits), when our car got stuck in the mud! It took Nate, the videographer, father of the bride, and 3 incredibly kind women in their nicest dresses bringing gravel to put behind our tires to finally get un-stuck!

Always a story, I tell you! And now, here’s Kami and AJ’s!!

Kami’s father waiting to see her in her dress for the first time, and on the right, her reaction when he turned around.
Kami stitched this herself. <3
I was heartbroken about the rain, but lucky for us, we were able to take incredible portraits in these covered pathways around The University of the South. <3
Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide who reads their vows first!
The rain paused *just* in time for our family portraits!
Head here for Part II!

Annnnd just like that, it was on to Myer’s Point Barn for Kami and AJ to get married!!

If you read part one, *this* would be the point of the day where our car got stuck. No photo proof of that though, so just take our word for it! When we got to the Bluff, it was lightly raining and made for the most romantic portraits!

What a difference a day makes! We had this rainy, foggy, mist-y scene for their wedding portraits…

… when 24 hours prior, this was our view from the bluff!

Impossible to choose a favorite. <3

DeDe was the real MVP for these with a million veil tosses for us!!

Finally, off to the party! <3

I will never *not* squeal seeing dogs incorporated into our couples’ wedding cakes!

Lucky for Kami, our pal JW is now serving Tennessee and it warmed my heart working beside him again! :)

Kami and AJ, we can’t thank y’all enough for bringing us out!!!! Is it too soon to do it again?! <3
