Gatlinburg, Tennessee Destination Wedding | The Venue at Greenbrier Estate
My sister Rosi and Greg got married!!!!!!!! —— Woot Woot!!!!!!!!!!!!
They both swore it would never happen… But life is so interesting that ya just never know the bigger picture. Honestly, I think my entire family fell in love with GREG WAYYYYYYY before Rosi and Greg ever even uttered those magic words to each other. We love how good Greg is to my nieces and to my sister, despite her… How can I say this???… “UNIQUE personality, tendencies, and quirks”.
Rosi is Loud, Crazy, Opinionated and Pushy. Greg is Not loud, Not crazy, keeps his opinions to himself, NOT pushy, and totally a laid back person. Their relationship cracks us all up and NONE of us really understand how it works but it does and it works very very well.
Once again I was shooting Photo and Video for this wedding so I had my work cut out for me.
Rosi & Greg had their Destination wedding in Gatlinburg Tennessee at The Venue at Greenbrier Estate. What an amazing venue. The view was breathtaking and the caliber of customer service was equally on par with everything else. There were so many twists and changes and last minute things that needed to be taken care of that we were honestly not ready for, but Melanie and Trev handled all of our chaos with ease. We felt so spoiled by them. It genuinely felt like we were amongst very attentive family.
After the ceremony, I was setting up lights to begin Formal Family Group Pictures when Melanie ran up to me and said “Jaime…. The rain just stopped”. We both knew it was now or never. If we didn’t get Pics and Video of Rosi and Greg outside right now, this second, we might not ever get them. We also knew we had a very small window of time because it was supposed to rain again, + The sun was setting and to make my job even more difficult, IT WAS SOOOOOOOO DAMN HOT & MUGGY outside that it was almost unbearable to be out there. NONE of what you just read bodes well for pictures and video.
It was so hot and humid that we only managed to get a few natural light pics and video clips before they started to melt in front of my eyes. My poor sister looked like she was going to faint so we had to go back indoors.
When it was time for the grand introductions to kick off dinner, the best move we made was to TRUST DJ Trev and do the intros in a very specific way that works for this venue’s layout. Trev and Melanie own the venue but Trev is also the main DJ for Rock The Party DJ service and I’m so glad he was our DJ and Master of Ceremonies. SO MUCH ENERGY!!!!!!! So articulate!!! So on Point!!!!!! Our guests ATE IT UP!!!!!
One of the most BEAUTIFUL things about Rosi & Greg’s wedding guests, is how diverse this crowd is. This diversity is reflected in the palette of music too. A less experienced DJ could have easily been intimidated. However, Trev delivered on point and made sure we had our musical generes covered. From our English Oldies to the our new school Country,Pop, Rap, and Hip Hop, + our Cumbias, Rancheras, Quebraditas, Bachatas, Merengues and Reggaeton. He did such a great job.
Rosi & Greg had family and friends come in from Arizona, Boston, California, Illinois, Indiana, and Texas. The love is deeply felt for these 2. Over 100 people showed up for their destination wedding. So happy for them.
At some point I passed my camera to my Sister in-Law so that I can do what I always want to do at other peoples weddings but never get to because Im a professional… Duh. Go CRAZY!!!!!! —— LMAO!!!
ROSI & GREG - Such an awesome couple with an awesome family and group of people behind them, supporting them in their marriage as they move forward into the next chapters of life. We Love You both and wish only the best for you. Thank you for letting me be your Photographer and Videographer.
