“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 . . .
You can’t deny looking through these photos that the nautical vibe was pulled off gracefully…
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…
About Ellen, Kerry speaks just as warmly: “I love how compassionate and patient Ellen is. No matter what obstacles are thrown in her way, she overcomes and perseveres with such optimism that it inspires me to try to be the best that I can be. She’s so loving, caring, and selfless in her sacrifices to help others. I’m enthralled with the way she looks at me, [even] after an exhausting weekend of traveling on the road. She’s my best friend, that no matter what stress or deadline might have me bogged down, she is there to listen and help me navigate through this world. I’m so lucky to have her in my life and completely blessed to be able to call such a beautiful woman my bride-to-be.”
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 . . .
