From online dating to a real-life wedding, here is the story of Haleigh and Ryan’s Chattanooga weekend celebration.

We asked how these two would describe their love in 3 words. They said, “fun, fun, fun”! I have to completely agree, because throughout the weekend they planned so many adventurous and exciting activities like river rafting and a cruise on the river. Loreah and I knew this was going to be a great couple to shoot!

I mean, this photo of Haleigh and her bridesmaids pretty much confirms it!

I absolutely loved their engagement story. The day after Haleigh’s graduation, they went on a hike with their new puppy, Zona. Ryan set up a camera pretending to take pictures of Haleigh and the dog, and when she turned around, he held out the ring and proposed!

Back in September, Haleigh and Ryan were married at the beautiful Waterhouse Pavilion in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Nestled in their downtown district, it provided the perfect balance of open air romanticism with sparkling bistro lights and nightlife ambience. This moment of the two of them dancing in the city street captured that essence perfectly and is also a reflection of their joyful, fun-loving relationship.

Fun little fact: the couple went a little non-traditional for their wedding, opting for table-top smores instead of a cake. YUM!

I still can’t get over Haleigh’s wedding dress. The off-the-shoulder design with a vintage style lace made it both effortlessly timeless and modern. 

Thank you again Haleigh and Ryan for choosing us to photograph your special day! It was truly an experience that I will never forget.

XOXO,
