Crescent Bend | Derby Day 2014

For the third year in a row, ALM Photo captured the fun and excitement of Derby Day at Crescent Bend, a gorgeous property on the river just west of Downtown Knoxville. A full day of exciting events, including an auction, river boat ride, horse show and race betting; take place around the running of the Kentucky Derby. Thankfully the rain stayed away this year, and Allan captured everyone arriving on the red carpet. This is a fun event for us to photograph because we are encouraged to enjoy ourselves and enjoy the delicious buffet, taste tempting desserts like horse-churned ice cream and Derby pie, as well as traditional Derby Day drinks. I still don't like a Mint Julep, but this year I tried Kentucky Ale and it was tasty.

Oh, and you can't forget the fashion! Everyone is decked out in their finest Kentucky Derby garb for this party and there is a ladies hat contest and best-dressed man contest as well.

Here are some of our favorite images from the day. We love photographing events and would love to hear from you if you have an event needing coverage.
