It’s been a little quiet over here.

I just sent off previews from a wedding at the Knoxville Zoo and I don’t think I’ll ever be over it.

Rhinos. Giraffes. The sweetest details tucked into every corner.

Getting to photograph alongside the amazing coordination team there and spend time in their new reception space, The BARn, was really beautiful.

This was my last wedding before I step into maternity leave next month, and doing this at 8 months pregnant felt a little surreal in the best way.

Getting to document days that feel this personal, this intentional, this them… it’s everything 💚

I’ll be stepping away for a bit soon, but my 2027 calendar is open when I return.

More from The Roberts’ day at The Lunosa (Smokerise Retreat).

It was a really windy October wedding in the Smokies, like decor-flying, veil-doing-its-own-thing windy, but it honestly was one of the most beautiful fall days.

Brooklyn told me they were dreaming of something romantic and timeless, elegant and classic, so I shaped the gallery around that feeling and pulled inspiration from their decor and wedding colors. Natural color, soft warmth, and staying true to how the day actually felt instead of forcing it into anything trendy.

This was one of those days that just felt good to witness and photograph. 💚

Hey friends. 💚

January has been a full one over here. Editing, working a full-time job again during the week, growing a human, and finding my footing after the holidays. Even when I’m quieter online, the work is still happening and the stories are still coming together behind the scenes.

Looking ahead, 2026 dates are starting to fill, and I’ve already begun having conversations about 2027, which still feels a little wild to say. My availability will be more limited for much of 2026 while I’m on maternity leave from May through August. April, September, and October are currently full.

If you’re planning a wedding and wondering if we’d be a good fit, I’m always happy to talk and answer questions.

Closing out the year feeling incredibly grateful for the couples who trusted me with their stories and excited for what’s ahead.

This work means a lot to me. Every wedding, every season, every couple reminds me why I do this, and why I choose to approach it with care and intention.

As we head into the new year, I’m now booking 2026 weddings.
There are 15 days left in my early bird special with $200 off any booked package.

Here’s to endings that feel complete and beginnings that feel aligned. 💚

BevFest took place on Annie and Nic’s own family land, and you could feel the care and intention behind every part of the day.

From engagement photos to their wedding day, I had the privilege of walking alongside them through this chapter of their story. They welcomed me in so fully and trusted me to document a day that was deeply personal and full of heart.

Their wedding was unique, fun, and genuinely beautiful. Rain came, plans shifted, and they met it all with so much ease and joy. From private vows during a first touch by the barn wall to dancing with their people, everything felt thoughtful and completely theirs.

Thank you for letting me be part of something so meaningful. 💚

Ruffo wedding glow forever. These two laughed, dipped, and loved their way through the whole day and I could not get enough of it. That flying veil moment still lives rent free in my brain.

If you want this kind of real, joy filled storytelling for your own 2026 wedding, reach out. I am taking on a limited number of dates next year and my $200 off deal is active through January 15. 💚

I have been out capturing some of the sweetest love stories the past three months, and now that busy season is slowing down I finally get to share more of them. Starting with these two because their day reminded me why I love this work so much.

I do not have a Cyber Monday deal this year because my $200 off 2026 wedding collections has already been running and lasts until January 15. I want couples to plan without pressure.

I am booking 2026 weddings currently! January through April is open, October has only two weekends left, and I still have room November and December wedding. I am only taking one wedding per weekend so every couple gets my full care and attention.

If you want photos that feel true to your story and a photographer who keeps things calm, warm, and real, I would love to talk with you.

Message me any time or reach out at www.liminalbloomphotography.com. 💚

📧 IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR ALL CLIENTS 📧

Hi everyone! I have a few important updates to share:

EMAIL COMMUNICATION:
If you're a current or future Liminal Bloom Photography client, please take a moment to check your email inbox (including spam and promotions folders) for messages from [email protected].

This is my primary business email address where I send:
- Contracts and proposals
- Invoices and payment information
- Gallery delivery notifications
- Timeline check-ins
- Important wedding day updates

I've sent several emails over the past month and haven't heard back from some of you, so I want to make sure they're reaching you! If you should have heard from me and haven't seen anything, please reach out directly.

(Note: I still have [email protected] but I primarily use that for my personal business administration needs.)

THANK YOU TO MY RECENT COUPLES:
To every couple I've had the absolute honor of working with over the past month - thank you from the bottom of my heart. Meeting you, witnessing your love stories, and capturing your wedding days has been everything to me. I'm currently working through your galleries with dedication and care. The Ruffo gallery is being finalized this weekend, the Bevins gallery is next in line, and I'm working through everyone else in order of wedding date.

THE REAL, RAW TRUTH:
I'm going to be completely transparent with you all because that's who I am as a person and business owner.

The next two weeks are the most intense of my entire year - I have 5 weddings and 1 elopement between now and early November. September and October are my busiest months, on top of my unexpected plot twist of finding out I've been pregnant since the beginning of September.

The first trimester has hit me incredibly hard. Without my ADHD medication and dealing with severe morning sickness, my usual streamlined, fast-paced workflow has shifted from hare mode to tortoise pace. But I want to be crystal clear - I am still working. Every single day that I'm not photographing a wedding, I'm editing galleries, managing administrative work, and preparing for next year.

It took me a few weeks to readjust my systems, restructure my workflow, and find my new rhythm around this unexpected news. But your galleries remain my absolute priority, and they are coming. I'm just being honest about the pace being slower than my usual turnaround.

2026 WEDDING AVAILABILITY:
I am still booking 2026 weddings for the following time periods:
- January - April 15th
- October - December

I already have two October weekends booked, and I'm limiting myself to one wedding per weekend per month. This ensures I can give each couple my full attention, energy, and the quality of service you deserve.

HOLIDAY MINI SESSIONS:
I'm genuinely sad to share this, but I will not be hosting holiday mini sessions this year. The earliest I'll be clear of most wedding galleries will be the beginning of December, and I cannot add more to my editing plate at this time. My wedding couples come first, always.

Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and your continued trust in me during this season of my life and business. Your support means more than I can express.

Swipe through to see all the beautiful weddings I've photographed since September 5th 💕✨

With gratitude,
Kirsten

Life threw us an unexpected harvest.
We’re expecting baby #2 in late May/early June - a surprise addition we definitely weren’t planning for. Sometimes the sweetest blessings come when you least expect them, kind of like finding the perfect apple you weren’t looking for.

Here’s what this means for you:
If you’re a May-August 2026 couple, check your email. I’m reaching out personally about next steps because my due date falls right in the heart of wedding season and I can’t safely commit to those dates. I’m heartbroken about it, but your day deserves someone who can show up fully.
September onward? We’re good. Your weddings are still happening.

To my October and November 2025 couples - thank you for your patience right now. I’m in the thick of first trimester while unmedicated for my ADHD (can’t take my meds while pregnant), and it’s been a ride. I’m still doing everything I can to make sure your day runs seamlessly, even when my brain feels like it’s running through mud.

For 2026: I’m still booking January through mid-April for full wedding days. After that, I’m capping at 4 weddings per month because two kids and a business means I have to be realistic about my capacity.

I’m also taking on second photographer gigs (if anyone in the area is looking for a good associate, please message me!) and shorter elopements (under 3 hours) - I work with Simply Eloped in Gatlinburg if you know anyone looking for intimate celebration coverage.

Early bird special still running: $200 off any wedding or elopement package booked before 1/15/26.
Every booking right now is helping us prepare for my unpaid maternity leave, and I’m so grateful to everyone trusting me with their celebration during this wild season of life

Sometimes the orchard gives you more than you planted. This is our beautiful, unexpected harvest. 🍎💚0

Arielle and JP’s July wedding at Holston Springs Farms was one of those days that just felt sacred. Not only did I get to document their vows, I also connected with two beautiful humans whose love is rooted in faith and in the way they show up for each other.

They’ve since made the big move from Knoxville to Nashville, and I couldn’t be happier for them. Walking into their reception and seeing the engagement photos we took displayed as centerpieces actually made me tear up — one of those full-circle moments I’ll never forget. And honestly, how many brides can say they were serenaded by their new husband on their wedding day? Pure magic.

From Arielle’s first look with her dad to their braided cross unity ceremony to the private last dance before their bubble exit, every part of their day was intentional and overflowing with love.

Huge shoutout to and Chandler(.sparks.weddings) for making their very last-minute venue pivot feel effortless — like it was always meant to be. 💚
