Sewanee Wedding Photography: Whitmire-Bordley Wedding

After too long a wait from the busiest part of the wedding season, I finally have been able to get through some of the wedding photos from Mary and Lawson's wonderful wedding a few weeks ago. It took place in one of my favorite locations - Sewanee! Lawson grew up there and Mary went to school there, so it was special to both of them.

The weather was superb and the flowers were incredible which was no suprise since Ken Taylor was in charge of them.

Mary started out getting ready in Rebel's Rest, which is a fantastic old cabin with more history than I'll go into here, but once finished, we walked across the street towards All Saints Chapel where we did some photographs and let Mary's dad see her for the first time. I love watching bride's fathers fight back the misty eyes and Mary's dad was no exception.

The ceremony was great and was lead by Rev. Tom Ward, the former Chaplain at All Saints. The entire Chapel was filled with candles, more than I've ever seen for a service there. It was beautiful! Lawson, a great photographer himself, had to get a couple of shots of his new bride on his wedding day which I was glad to capture.

They rode to the reception in Lawson's brother's old topless Blazer. He took them to Upper Cravens which looked more beautiful than I've ever seen it before thanks to the amazing decorating and Ken Taylor's talent with flowers.

There was plenty of dancing to the Jimmy Church Band and everyone had a fantastic time.
