Lauren and Bo Cheatham tied the knot on November 18th, 2011. This was our last wedding of 2011 and it made for a fabulous finish! You might remember Lauren and Bo from their engagement session just a few months ago. They had a short engagement…but why wait? This couple is so apparently head over heels for each other. Their wedding ceremony was held at Salem Baptist Church and a reception followed with dinner and dancing at the infamous Sunsphere in downtown Knoxville. Lauren’s wedding cake and Bo’s grooms cake were two of my absolute favorites from this year! Scroll down to check out the cakes and some more of our favorites.

Kelly/Diveto Wedding–Isle of Palms, SC

Kristen — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 07:00:10 +0000

Jessica Kelly and Kevin Diveto tied the knot at the Citadel Beach Club in Isle of Palms, SC on October 9th, 2011. We happily made the trip to photograph their beach wedding and also enjoyed a nice vacation with our husbands. Their wedding was of course gorgeous, over looking the sand and the waves, but it was also SO MUCH FUN! Back in January, when I met with Jessica and Kevin, they shared with me their vision for their big day. I think it turned out to be everything they wanted and so much more!! Most destination weddings draw a close knit crowd of friends and family and this one was certainly no exception. Jessica and Kevin felt truly blessed to have had so many make the trip on their behalf. The couple even sent guests away with their own custom centerpiece representing all of the many beaches that have meant something to them as individuals and as a couple over the years. We had many favorites from this wedding. Be sure to take a look at their slide show for lots more…Click Below. CONGRATULATIONS Mr. and Mrs. Diveto!!

Parker/Overbay Wedding

Kristen — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 23:50:37 +0000

Needless to say, this was a very special wedding for me to photograph. The Parker/Overbay Wedding was the first wedding I have photographed for a family member. Jon Overbay is my husband’s cousin. After shooting some engagement photos for them down on “Pepaw’s farm” last year at Thanksgiving they asked that I photograph their wedding as well. Almost a year later–here we are! I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. The Overbay’s and the Parker’s made my job very easy. The venue, Hidden River Events in Asheville, NC, was rustic and very down-to-earth with breathtaking views of the NC mountains. I loved all of the details and colors they chose–all the way down to the mason jars!! Thanks again for asking me to photograph your big day. Catherine–welcome to the family!

Norris/Pratt Wedding

Kristen — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 11:37:07 +0000

Meredith Norris and Zack Pratt tied the knot on July 23, 2011. This was our last wedding during “busy season” and it was a good one! The couple exchanged vows in a ceremony held at Arlington Church of Christ and celebrated their nuptials with a reception at Beaver Brook Country Club. Meredith looked stunning in her wedding gown along with her bridesmaids all dressed in navy blue with beautiful purple bouquets designed by Lisa Foster. The groom and his groomsmen wore tan suites with navy blue ties accented with white polka-dots. We just loved the color palette from this wedding! Let’s just let the pictures do most of the talking. Meredith and Zack, we want to wish you the very best!! Enjoy your wedding slide show below…

Gouge/Reasor Wedding

Kristen — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 05:04:09 +0000

Emily Gouge and Chris Reasor are now Mr. and Mrs! It seems like only yesterday I was leading her group of 7th grade girls at Disciple Now. What a beautiful and elegant young lady Emily has become. This, for sure, was a special wedding for us because the ceremony was held in our hometown church, Colonial Heights Baptist. The day began as Emily and her bridesmaids got ready at the Allandale Mansion, where the reception would be held later that evening. The girls’ dresses were pale pink bateau neck cocktail dresses by Alfred Sung. Emily’s wedding gown was designed by Nicole Miller in a candlelight shade. The guys wore charcoal grey suits from Jos. A. Banks. The bouquets and floral arrangements were all hand created by the MOB’s (mother of the bride’s) cousin, Mrs. Elsa Parsons. They were gorgeous! The whole day was very classic and chic. The wedding was directed by our very own Heather Arms – usually Overbay Photography assistant extraordinaire. With her experience assisting at numerous weddings over the years, she was able to help Emily achieve the day of her dreams. After the ceremony, there was a “dessert reception” at Allandale, all created by Main St. Catering. There were tarts, truffles, treats, crepes, pies, ice cream sundaes, and of course cupcakes! They even fed each other their favorite cupcakes – Carrot cake for Chris & Red Velvet for Emily. YUM! Friends and family danced the night away and seemed to have a blast. The mansion’s side walk was lined with luminaries as guests said their goodbyes and the new couple took off for their honeymoon in Jamaica. We want to wish them all the love and happiness for many years to come. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Reasor!

Hughes/Gillespie Wedding

Kristen — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 05:43:45 +0000

Stacie Hughes has been one of my most loyal clients since the start of Overbay Photography. She and her family have been some of my biggest fans and for that I am sincerely grateful. When Stacie shared the news of her engagement, I could not wait for her wedding to arrive. We of course met several times before the wedding for her engagements and bridal portraits but I still couldn’t wait until her big day! The bride and groom withstood some rain the morning of the wedding–for good luck! Then, just in time for the ceremony, the skies cleared and the sun shined brightly above the mountain tops at the Ridges golf course in Jonesborough, TN. Check out Stacie and Josh’s slide show and some of our favorite moments below.

Johnson/Mash Wedding

Kristen — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 10:58:38 +0000

Candace Johnson and Jonathan Mash had a storybook wedding on June 11, 2011 at the Opryland Resort in Nashville, TN. As Candace was walking through the hotel young girls admired her and acted as if they had just seen a princess. Some even asked to have their picture taken with her. The bride and groom chose to see each other before the ceremony. I love it when couples decide to do this. It is such a sweet time. As they stood holding hands on opposite sides of a wall with more and more guests passing by, Jonathan responded to onlookers by saying “She’s taken!” Candace was so excited to see her groom. With her back turned, I over heard her say with a giggle, “He even sounds cute!” Then they met–at the Gaylord Opryland grand staircase. It was beautiful! The entire day was extraordinary. Their reception was held at the Water’s Edge where guests enjoyed dinner and dancing along with the Nashville Photo Booth, which made for some great photo ops. Take a look at some of our many favorites below. To the newlyweds, we hope you enjoyed every minute of your honeymoon in Italy. Next time–take us with you!!
