Stunning Spring Dara’s Garden Wedding

Stunning Spring Dara’s Garden Wedding in Knoxville, Tennessee

I knew after my first meeting with Abreanna and Roman that their Dara’s Garden wedding day was going to be special. From the way they talk about each other, to their genuine love for God, there was no doubt in my mind this was going to be one of my favorite weddings! And then I learned they were having a Dara’s Garden wedding and I was thrilled! We have looked forward to photographing weddings at this venue, and Dara’s Garden did not disappoint! The charming white farm house, in a wooded wonderland of trees, and a perfect pop of floral accents…needless to say I was in creative heaven! If you’re still looking for a venue, you should definitely check our Dara’s Garden in Knoxville, Tennessee!

The day was filled with incredible moments, but my personal FAVORITE moment came when Anna and her dad walked down the aisle during the ceremony. Not a single eye was left dry. Even people who were self-proclaimed “not emotional” started wiping their eyes. It was such a beautiful depiction of Anna’s strong relationship with her family. Both Roman and Anna have incredible parents on both sides and it was so evident throughout the day how much that has impacted them!

The Dara’s Garden wedding reception was absolutely stunning and full of hilarious toasts, tons of laughter, and some truly inspiring dance moves. Abreanna’s father gave the blessing and a heartfelt speech about his love for his little girl. Roman’s sister gave a funny, but touching toast to the couple and her new sister-in-law.  Through all the toasts from friends and family, the message was clear: Roman loves Anna so deeply, takes care of her, and pursues her every day. They are best friends, and they both consistently put each other above their own needs, and we know they are going to have an incredible marriage!

Overall, the celebration was BEAUTIFUL and it was such an amazing joy to be part of Abreanna and Roman’s day. I am so excited for them as they begin their marriage!! Here are a few of my favorite shots from their Dara’s Garden wedding day.

hi, i'm danielle—

In the past 10+ years as a Wedding & Portrait Photographer, I’ve found that, aside from arming myself with my cameras to catch swoon-worthy moments of my couples on their day, I’m also bringing a few other unexpected things. 

Like my tough love mom-voice that will keep your bridal party in check, my air of calm if you’re feeling overwhelmed, and the corniest jokes so no one has the jitters in front of the camera!

Because so much more goes into getting those gorgeous wedding photos than just hitting “click!”

and I'm not just bringing my camera to your big day.

Wanna know what you need for
