Knoxville wedding photographer

Posted on June 11, 2011 by Justin Fee

Please enjoy these photos we are sharing with you here. Wedding photography is very special and I am truly honored when asked to be part of one of the most monumental days in a couple’s life. I also enjoy being able to capture the intimate moments no one but a photographer gets to share with a bride and groom – all the happy butterflies before the ceremony with the last minute dressings and quick chats between mothers and daughters as well as sons and fathers or close family members. Or after the ceremony when the bride and groom get to look at each other, away from the crowd, as husband and wife for the first time…truly a special moment. I try and capture these unique times equipped with over 10 years of professional journalism experience, having worked for different newspapers throughout the U.S. including the Knoxville News Sentinel and Ithaca Journal in New York. Magazines I have worked for include Time, People, and Knoxville Magazine. I hope to talk with you soon about your very special day. Justin Fee © photographfee 2011

Wedding photography to me is a chance to bring all of my skills as a truly dedicated and long time professional photographer together for a sometimes once in a lifetime event. People think about this day from when they are very young and it really has a lot of built up emotion for many brides and grooms not to mention all of the immediate families. Wedding photography is truly a gift for me to share in these individuals lives being joined together as one.

Charleston SC Soccer Tournament

Posted on June 7, 2011 by Justin Fee

This is video shot with the Canon 7D as well as the Kodak ZI16 and they were both shot in HD format by me as the photographer as well as editor here on this soccer project for a team of players mostly representing the Knoxville, Tennessee area. Why don’t you be the first to comment on this video; I do appreciate feedback on my work greatly. Thanks, Justin Fee

Knoxville New Sentinel Sports

Posted on June 2, 2011 by Justin Fee

These are three different assignments I photographed for the Knoxville News Sentinel last month during the championships or tournaments each teams were playing in. I have worked with the Knoxville News Sentinel as a freelance photographer since 1998. It is the closest style to my approach of photography that I most love to shoot. However, for the past four years I have shot more Magazine assignments as well as Commercial photography in and around Knoxville, TN with some assignments as far out as Washington D.C. This type of work is extremely fun too. Typical work for me comes from answering the phone and being able to turn around a finished product with speed, integrity, and professionalism. So if you have a need for a photographer please contact me for a consultation and happy voice on the other end of the phone. Hallelujah!

Three cities in March

Posted on April 19, 2011 by Justin Fee

These photos were all shot in a twelve day period beginning last month on Friday, March 18, 2011. The weather was perfect and actually the best vacation ever. The first location was traveled with my beautiful wife, Emily, who is featured in a photograph amongst all the other photos. The third location I traveled to was with my brother, Pate, who is also featured in a photo. I hope you enjoy looking at them as I truly enjoy capturing the small moments of time that are represented in God’s palette we call the world. Photos by Justin R. Fee © 2011

First Friday 3/4/11…Knoxville

Posted on March 10, 2011 by Justin Fee

First Friday in Knoxville, Tennessee was a nice treat this past “First Friday” in the month of March 2011. The venue we chose to attend was the Sunshere at the World’s Fair Park in downtown Knoxville, Tennessee. It has a big jump on the elevator from floor 3 up to 4 with about 4 floors passing in between with no stops. When we got to level 6 it was a blast with music and art all around with Knoxvillians milling about as we do. The food was free with All Occasions providing some great appetizers and sliced meat. Also we enjoyed a couple of complimentary drinks until 7 PM. All in all it was a nice evening for all in attendance as I could perceive…until next go around. Justin R. Fee

Sheep and Cattle Farm 2011

Posted on February 25, 2011 by Justin Fee

This is a trip to my wife Emily’s dad’s farm in Morgan County, Tennessee in February 2011. We went out to discover forty lambs that were all born in a span of two days. There were several mama sheep running around with hungry lambs baaing for milk all about the fenced in area. The mother sheep were all sired by one ram a full gestation period prior with the temperature of the air having a significant effect on why the babies are all born the same time. It was a nice day and a good visit for all of us. also we got to see the Red Devon cattle and Emily’s horse “Chota.”

“Drinks and bartenders” Feature

Posted on January 28, 2011 by Justin Fee

I was hired by Knoxville Magazine for their February issue to visit five local local restaurants and photograph five featured drinks that will warm your spirit. Each restaurant had a bartender to appear in each photograph with their specialty drink. The shoot was supposed to be shot down and dirty in one afternoon. However, it easily became a two-day project for me with restaurants needing to be rescheduled. I enjoy the Lord working in mysterious ways and I was excited to finish the job. Food photography and environmental portraiture are quickly becoming my favorite areas of photography. I hope before long I can be chosen to photograph a book that astounds people who enjoy good food and drink photography as I do. So here are my favorite pics from the shoot. I hope you enjoy them. If you’re wondering . . . I did sample a couple of these drinks, and they were “fabulous” by the way, to quote the bartender at the Orangery, Caleb Whitson, who is also an old friend of mine. Who knew drinking beers in college would one day turn out to be an asset?

Winter White Cosmo
Chez Liberty
Nick Spivey

Nick made this riff on the Cosmo using cranberry-infused vodka (they plan on making their own soon), Cointreau, white cranberry juice, and lime. This was a brisk, pick-me-up drink – very clean and refreshing.

CinnaPearTini
Northshore Brasserie
Stephanie Balest

Stephanie marinates diced pears in red wine, adds a splash of Grand Marnier and pours it all into a chilled martini glass with a cinnamon sugar-rimmed martini glass – or heats the wine and serves the drink gently steaming.

The Spaghetti Western
Bistro by the Tracks
Lana Shackelford

This decidedly metropolitan drink strikes me as a riff on the Manhattan. Lana mixes up Basil Hayben Bourbon, adds one of her personal discoveries, Luxardo Cherry Liqueur, and then shakes it up with lemon and ice. Once strained and topped with club soda, it’s an elegant way to warm up.

Twisted Mary Martini
Sapphire
Amie Snyder

Amie makes use of one of the most interesting new vodkas to hit shelves: Bakon Vodka. He muddles fresh basil and then adds Bakon vodka, muddled lemon, raw horseradish, olive juice, Zing Zang bloody mary mix and pours this concoction into a glass with a seasoned salt rim. That’s a festive way to punch up a brunch!

Brandy Flip
The Orangery
Caleb Whitson

Caleb looked back to a classic drink – the Brandy Flip. Using Ibis XO brandy, cream, and a little nutmeg makes for a pretty festive beverage, but what really makes a flip is a whole raw egg. Caleb shakes organic, free-range eggs to make this frothy reflection on the good old days.

Henley Street Bridge

Henley Street bridge closed January 3, 2011 for repairs that could take up to 2 and half years…hopefully not. A couple of friends of mine went out to document the event and were treated to a beautiful sunset.

Donovan Swick Fashion Show 2010

Posted on December 14, 2010 by Justin Fee

Donovan Swick, owner of Swick Aesthetics, hosted a fantastic fashion show at the Valarium in Knoxville, TN on December 14, 2010. The show included his latest fashion designs for the year ending 2010. I found the opportunity to be a part of this high energy environment to be extremely stimulating as an artist; and decided to add Photographfee to the list of photographers that were going to be there. I enjoy fashion photography and merge my background of Journalism with the fun and energetic atmosphere of a runway show. The designer at this particular show played a part of the show and directed the models at the end of the catwalk with a pipe in his mouth and long black object resembling a whip. The music was pumped out of gigantic speakers with a dj mixing the music provided by the muti-dimensional designer, Donovan Swick, in front of a crowd of about one hundred…wish you were there!
