Absolutely Iconic State Street Engagement Photos in Bristol

Iconic State Street Engagement Photos in Bristol, Tennessee

Seth & Whitney are truly one of the most fun couples to be around. I spent the evening walking through Downtown Bristol for their State Street engagement photos and I’m sore from all of the laughter!

Their proposal story is too good not to share. Seth had planned to propose to Whitney for quite some time and had to make sure that everything was perfect before he got down on one knee! He reached out to her best friends to help coordinate the event and make it truly special for Whitney. They had an entire weekend in Gatlinburg with their closest friends planned when he painted her a beautiful sign that asked her to marry him! They proceeded to celebrate all weekend long in the stunning mountains of East Tennessee before returning home to plan a wedding!

As if that isn’t the most romantic proposal — their State Street engagement photos were seriously from one of the cutest and most fun engagement sessions to date! Whitney wore a floral white dress and then switched into a cute olive top and some high waisted jeans for their second location at Old Sullins College! Per norm, her makeup was FLAWLESS but who could expect anything less from a professional makeup artist? (She’s done SO many shoots with me! Have you seen her work from our shoot published in Betrothed Magazine?!)

These two are seriously the dream team. Their sense of adventure and zest for life shines through, especially when they’re together. They’re best friends, and we truly can’t wait to celebrate their big day with them!

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

In the hundreds of weddings I’ve photographed, I’ve created as many different flat lays as you can imagine. And so I’ve curated a complete list of must-have items for you to gather so your detail photos are even more special. For the free list, enter your email below:
