Lydia & JT attended the same high and middle schools in Georgia but didn’t actually cross paths until years later. After matching on Bumble while both living in Chattanooga TN, it didn’t take long for them to bond over movie nights and quality time at the dog park with their pup, Dani. Before they knew it their friendship became something more.

It was so special to take their engagement photos in the place they fell in love, Chattanooga. We spent an amazing Sunday morning with them in Coolidge Park overlooking the Tennessee River. Celebrating their wedding day in the mountains at Inola Blue Ridge was just as incredible. Their day was filled with pockets of happy, sweet, beautiful moments that represented the incredibly kind (and super fun) couple they are. Lydia’s dress was AMAZING – I mean, look at those sleeves. Her pearl-studded heels where gorgeous too. Every little detail was so delicate and pretty, and every minute spent with them was fun and easy. What a couple y’all. We had a great time touring the “village” at Inola while taking couples portraits, and I have to admit dining on empanadas during the process was pretty awesome too. They even served frozen margaritas at the reception. Talk about a good time! We truly loved spending the day with them and can’t wait to see what the future holds for the Kieffers! Congratulations once again you two.
