Fall Bridal Portraits in Knoxville Tennessee

We all remember our childhood crush. Whether he was the dreamy boy next door or the 4th grade class clown, he lives on in half-forgotten memories…and in dad’s catalogue of embarrassing stories to tell at the worst possible times. But for most of us, that’s all a first crush ever is: a memory. For Fionnie, her childhood crush became so much more. On a radiant summer day at Marblegate Farm in Knoxville, Fionnie’s lifelong crush, Jacob, promised to love her forever.

John and Abigail Pothen were married in the summer of 2014 in a small Virginia chapel. Their wedding was beautiful, but with John entering medical school, they had to keep it simple. For their third wedding anniversary, the couple decided to renew their vows. Only this time, they were able to add the details that reflect their unique story.

Abigail Malone was recommended to me from my best friend, and after meeting her and looking at her website, I knew we’d be lucky to have her as our photographer!  She brought so much love and positive energy to our day and everyone has complimented how wonderful our pictures are.  She was extremely easy to work with and caught moments throughout the day that we, as well as our friends and family, will cherish for the rest of our lives. 

Love grows wild in this wedding styled shoot featured in The Southeastern Bride.

Abby was absolutely phenomenal. She is incredibly professional, and she knows exactly what she is doing. I wish she could photograph my whole life! The pictures are absolutely stunning from all of the times I worked with her (engagement, bridal, wedding). I can’t wait to find a reason to hire her again. She’s great to work with, and she has a deep knowledge of photography. I love her style, and I absolutely loved how she so perfectly captured all of the joy and emotions at the wedding. All of the pictures are so full of light and life. She kept us on schedule while still managing to capture all of the special moments in detail.

There is just something so magical about the colors of early November. The overcast sky seems to intensify the rustic and earthy tones that are so perfectly translated on film. I fall more in love with these images every time I look at them! I have some wonderfully talented friends to thank for making this […]
