Summertime Fun!

Some folks have been using Facebook and email as methods to tell me they would like to see some updated pics of the family, (I wont name names). So here it is. I havent been posting much lately because It's summer and we are busy having fun, doing projects, and staying busy. Sorry for that...Not!

A while back we went to Market Square in Downtown Knoxville. All the kids wanted to do was play in the fountain the entire time.







Like brother like sister.


Afterward while soaking wet we decided to take some pictures??






Here we are the next day at Ruby Falls near Chattanooga. This is a huge waterfall 1,000 feet underground.


And Fat Mans Squeeze in Rock City.


Me, Austin, My Mom, and Ella poking out the side.


She had to stop and smell the flowers.




Another day we went crawdad fishing near the river. Here Ella is showing off her catch.


One morning I caught this deer eating out of our flowerbed, (or weedbed)!




A firefly in flight. These little boogers are hard to photograph!


Every night we have thousands of them in the yard. So many that Ella can sometimes catch them. When you hold them upside down they tend to light up.


Ella likes the lambs ear. "Daddy feew it, it's soff".


Sunset


And I had to post one of my other "baby". This was last weekend in Kentucky.


And she is my baby too. We painted the gallery white and are now in the middle of a kitchen remodel.


Until next time,

-Matt

Lee and Brandie's Wedding Peek

Lee and Brandie are such a fun couple! Their wedding was on Saturday and here are a few images I'd like to share. My assistant Ashley and I had an awesome time with them first at their church Fairview United Methodist in Maryville and then at Calhoun's on the River in Downtown Knoxville. Everyone seemed to have a great time especially when I pulled out my box of props!

One of the dads (I won't say who) was standing there for this shot asking "why?", my reply was "why not?". That seems to be my signature, to get a spectacular image of the dress. And I believe this one turned out well!


Mom helps fasten Brandie's shoes before the walk down the Aisle.


The window light was beautiful for this image!


The guys got an important walkie talkie call just before the ceremony began. It went something like this: "Why the h*## are you still outside we have 5 minutes before you are suppose to be on the alter?" Everything was under control!


Brandie and Dad.


Brandie and Lee at Calhoun's with the paddlewheel boat in the background.


The sunset was awesome!


My interpretation of the cake.


Fix that hair girl!


Mom and dad getting down!


Lee and Brandie actually met at a techno dance club!


As you can tell, the dancing was tiring!


The props were a hit as soon as we pulled them out!


I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek!

Brandie and Lee Engagement

So I've been slacking on the blog duties recently. Here is a shoot from last week of Brandie and Lee.

Fun in the SUN... (I mean Heat!)

I haven't even been gone from Texas a year yet and I totally forgot how hot it was already! The Fams and I went back for little over a week and fried like KFC. But we had a blast and took some pics of Mandy, Jeremy, Jace, and Cade while we were at it. The stockyards have such great backdrops for photo ops but man was it sweltering.







Afterward we made a visit to good ole Pappy:)


I wonder what Jace thought of this strange man in a box?
