We are Rich and Heather Smith, a husband and wife team based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Rich is a wedding photographer, while Heather helps to keep the business running smoothly at home while chasing around our baby daughter and taking a few photos in the process. 

We are two extroverts who adore meeting new people. We love laughing, chai tea lattes, and Rich can't get enough of Heather's lasagna. We're addicted to LOST and are trying to kick our 24 habit. 

We are so thankful that our clients trust us to document their lives, and so we consider our blog a place to share our lives with you. Whether you are a friend, family, client, or stranger, please relax and enjoy a glimpse into our world.

Kristen Phillips | Bridal

As the title says — “Kristen Phillips”. She’s still getting used to the name change, I’m sure. But when I took these photos, she still had her maiden name. I’ve had to sit on these shots until after her wedding. Painful since I love these shots so much! She was absolutely beautiful in her wedding dress and incredible to work with. We went to the incredible art district in downtown Chattanooga for this shoot and had a great time. Enjoy!

Jessica’s Bridal

I was really excited when Jessica contacted me to do her bridal shots. I had met her at Calen and Jerad’s wedding as she was one of Calen’s beautiful bridemaids! When she arrived where we were going to be doing the shoot, I got really pumped because she looked absolutely stunning in her wedding dress! We had a great time walking around, enjoying the beautiful weather, having a lot of fun and getting some amazing photos of her. Check them out!

She looks like she needs to be a wedding magazine, doesn’t she?

I love taking photos of my clients when they’re not posing and they turn out incredible. This is a shot of Jessica when her friend McKenzie was fixing her dress for her. McKenzie did an amazing job of helping me out for a lot of the shots. Thank you!
