Engagement Pictures by Kate Whitmore

chris + courtney

Though I prefer to have every single post dedicated to entertaining + parties, I did want to sneak in a few of the engagement pictures shot by the fabulous Kate Whitmore Photography! She’s not only a talented photographer but also my future sister in law and one of my new best friends who continuously makes me smile and adore my new family! We headed out along with her husband, Brett (my fiance’s brother) to right outside of Arrington Vineyards in Franklin, TN  at sunset. Despite the fact that it was literally 99 degrees, we had a blast loving and laughing.

Without further ado, here is a peek beyond my “Pizzazzerie” life (one that is happily full of wedding dress shopping, book writing, puppy walking, and fiance cuddling) … :)
