“I choose you to be no other than yourself. Loving what I know of you, and trusting who you will become. I will respect and honor you, always and in all ways. With you I pledge to repair one small piece of the world. I take you to be my spouse, to have and to hold, in tears and in laughter. In sickness and in health. To love and to cherish from this day forward, in this world and the next.”
I can’t describe this wedding without using the word, “breathless.” Whether from the bridal party session on the balcony of the church in downtown Nashville, to the blustery, windy First Look, to the passionate dance party at the reception! It’s catching-your-breath-on-a-roller-coaster sort of excitement…
Setting the stage for today’s wedding is the beautiful old Belle Meade Mansion. The stately old building, softened by an overcast sky was the perfect backdrop for the day, full of character . . .
The family history in the wedding we’re sharing today is truly deep-rooted! … We loved this Loveless Cafe wedding day!
When you look at the images from Melissa and Ryan’s wedding, it’s hard to not fall in love with the gorgeous old mansion that sets their stage! Whether from the textured walls to the beautiful old furniture and frosty windows, everything gives off a sort of timeless class and elegance, which carries over into the wedding itself…
One of the things that makes a wedding unique are the details. Behind several elements of Kristi + Logan’s wedding were little stories that added such depth of character to the experience as a whole, something we love when capturing people’s special day! . . . Towards the end of the night they danced to a song at the wedding called “Managua Nicaragua”, on special request of Logan’s grandmother. This song was played at her wedding, and Kristin & Logan happened to be going to Nicaragua for their honeymoon! Logan’s grandmother was the “Jitterbug Queen of Atlanta” way back in the day, and this was her moment to shine. Just check out the sweet images of Logan dancing with his grandma during this special song . . .
If you were in Tennessee during the 3rd week of January this year, you know that Nashville got record breaking amounts of snow! Nashville was a winter wonderland. A snowy wedding has been on my photography bucket list for quite a while now and it was so worth the wait — just wait till you see how gorgeous Catherine’s white dress looks surrounded by the glowing snow right before sunset!
One of my favorite images from all of last year came from this wedding — take your time as you scroll through the ceremony photos — the look on Allison’s face as she and Darren walk down the aisle makes me remember why I love being a wedding photographer every time I see it. The joy, love, anticipation, excitement — its all there in her eyes.
