Knoxville Wedding Photographer – 2 Hodges Photography
Angele and Nathan’s wedding at The Standard in Downtown Knoxville, TN, had it all – some of the best DIY details we’ve ever seen, super sweet moments with family and friends, and our favorite, a ton of fun! To make it all happen, their wedding brought together an incredible team of Knoxville wedding pros including Heels and Veils, Melissa Timm Designs, Ogle Entertainment, and caricature artist Tony Sobota.
This bride is super creative and artistic. She also has one of the most compassionate hearts of anyone I’ve ever met. An Army veteran herself, she now works for Veteran’s Affairs (Nathan is still active in the military), and she also advocates for animals and especially canines. She incorporated all of these passions into her wedding day. With green as her main color (and of course green wedding shoes!) and white and gray as accents, she created fun signs, pin wheels, and doggie treats for guests to take home to their pets. She also had props for her guests to play with and miniature potted plants as wedding favors.
Angele and Nathan chose to have a First Look moment on their wedding day, and we are so glad they did! We love hearing brides and grooms admire each other when they first see each other on the wedding day, and we also love that they get to spend more of their wedding day together this way.
Prior to the wedding ceremony, wedding guests were welcomed in with champagne and doughnuts – this was so unique and we hope it’s something we see again! Then, the ceremony started with a photo slideshow before Angele walked down the aisle, and we love Nathan’s expression as he watches. One of our favorite moments came during the reception when Angele danced with Nathan’s son during the traditional father-daughter dance, and then Nathan danced with his two daughters during the traditional mother-son dance.
Sunset at The Standard happens to be incredible, so before the dance floor was packed, we took the newlyweds outside for a few more photos while guests were entertained by caricature drawings – they were a huge hit! The night ended with streamer bombs flying as the bride and groom danced. We hope you enjoy seeing Angele and Nathan’s wedding day memories!
To Angele and Nathan: We feel very blessed to have gotten to know you and be part of your wedding day. The entire day was perfection and no doubt the start to an amazing marriage and family. It’s quite obvious you have both touched many people’s lives, and we want you to know you have touched ours. Thank you for letting us be your wedding photographers.
