From Wedding Bells to Baby Giggles – Fall Family Photos

Maegan + Lee – November 2, 2026

THREE YEARS AGO, THESE TWO GOT MARRIED AT CHAPEL IN THE HOLLOW! 🥹❤️ And now, three years later, Maegan and Lee came back to celebrate their wedding anniversary with a very special little addition to their family!

MEET CAL!! 😍👶

Their adorable little nugget is seven months old, and he has recently discovered one of life’s greatest joys…

STICKING HIS TONGUE OUT AT EVERYONE! 😂 I CANNOT. Apparently, once you figure out how to do that, it’s just too much fun to stop. And honestly? I fully support this stage of babyhood.

Their anniversary family session was filled with beautiful fall colors, sweet moments, and plenty of baby silliness. It was such a treat getting to photograph these three together!

Three Years Later, a Beautiful New Chapter

One of my absolute favorite things about owning Chapel in the Hollow is getting to see our couples return as their lives grow and change.

Three years ago, Maegan and Lee stood here in the woods, exchanging vows and beginning their married life together. Now they’re back with their sweet little boy, creating new memories in the same place where they said “I do.”

HOW SWEET IS THAT?! ❤️

There’s something so special about photographing a couple’s wedding and then getting to see them again as parents. The love story is still unfolding, but now there’s another little person who gets to be part of it. And Cal was definitely ready for his close-up! At seven months old, he’s already developing quite the personality, and his newly discovered tongue-out trick made for some absolutely adorable photographs.

I love capturing these funny little stages of childhood because they change so quickly. One day they’re sticking their tongues out at everyone, and before you know it, they’re running around and getting into everything.

These are the little moments worth remembering.

Gorgeous Fall Family Photos in East Tennessee

And can we talk about their outfits?! Maegan had everyone dressed in beautifully coordinating fall colors, and they looked AMAZING against the gorgeous October foliage! 🍁😍 Seriously, she nailed the color palette.

I love when families choose outfits that complement each other without being overly matchy. Warm autumn tones photograph beautifully in the East Tennessee woods, especially when the trees are showing off their vibrant seasonal colors.

And this was such a gorgeous time of year for their session! The colorful leaves created a beautiful natural backdrop, and Maegan, Lee, and Cal looked wonderful together.

Between the pretty fall scenery, the coordinated outfits, and one ridiculously adorable baby showing off his newest trick, I was in photographer heaven.

From Wedding Portraits to Family Memories

One of the sweetest things about this session is knowing that Cal will have these photographs to look back on someday.

He probably won’t remember his first visit to the place where Mom and Dad got married, but he’ll get to see how loved he was, how happy his parents were, and just how enthusiastic he was about sticking out that little tongue. 😂❤️

And Maegan and Lee will have these photographs to remember this chapter of their lives, when their little boy was seven months old and everything was changing so quickly.

That’s what I love about photography. It’s not just about having pretty pictures. It’s about preserving the little pieces of life that make each season special. Three years ago, we were celebrating Maegan and Lee becoming husband and wife. Now we’re celebrating their growing family.

And getting to be part of both chapters is pretty wonderful.

Happy Third Anniversary, Maegan and Lee!

From wedding bells to baby giggles, three years and one precious little nugget later! Maegan and Lee, it was SO wonderful having you back at Chapel in the Hollow, and I loved getting to meet sweet little Cal.

Your fall family photos were such a joy to capture, and I love that we got to celebrate your third wedding anniversary in the same place where your married life began.

Thank you for continuing to let us capture your story as your family grows. Here’s to many more years of love, laughter, beautiful memories, and hopefully a few more visits!

And Cal, keep being your adorable, silly little self. That tongue-out phase is absolutely working for you! 😂👶❤️

Happy third anniversary, Maegan and Lee! 🍂❤️
