Kristen and Walter are one of those couples you don’t want to see go. Spending time with them never felt like “work” and I enjoyed getting to know them as we created a picturesque lakeside wedding day for these two. Despite the challenges of turning 2 private residences into wedding venues, this wedding was absolutely […]

Fall of 2014 was absolutely nuts. I had 8 weddings in 8 weeks and with a full time job, I knew it was going to be a challenge. Luckily, I had some of my favorite couples lined up for fall weddings and a stellar vendor lineup for each event!  I kicked off my 8 week […]

I love when a mom wants to be involved with the wedding planning as a sounding board, but with the absolute conviction that the decisions are to be her daughter’s: the brides. A well oiled mother-daughter team can be such a blessing to a wedding professional and I was so lucky in this case to […]

I loved Tina and Daniel’s love story.  I love how he dotes after her and how excited her family was to welcome him into theirs.  I love the way they look at one another and how cool and collected she remained throughout the wedding planning process. I love when a bride truly listens to me. […]

I’ve known Natalie for almost 15 years.  She was actually one of the first girls I met on campus at MTSU and she instantly intimidated me…she was older AND in a sorority!  Fast forward a few months and we are sorority sisters, planning events, attending social gatherings and pomping homecoming floats.  When she contacted me […]

When the ladies of The Collection email and ask if you want to play at Belle Meade Plantation for a styled shoot, you try not to geek out where people can see you. 🙂 A great chance to update our portfolios and stage something beautiful, we jumped in and the final creation was definitely my […]

I liked Liz from the first phone conversation. Her spunk and energy were intoxicating and we shared a common bond: state employees! She was incredibly organized and excited so pulling the final details together for her fall Green Door Gourmet wedding was a pleasure.  The smiles on their faces NEVER LEFT!  They were one of the […]

I have enjoyed looking back through these wedding photos to create these blog posts.  So much hard work and love went into this event.  Jena and Trent added some really incredible personal touches to the day, but my favorite part: the flowers! Jena and I searched online for months for inspiration to tie in the […]

Kelli and Garrett are one of the sweetest couples I’ve had the pleasure of working with!  Their love for one another is infectious and they are surrounded by an incredible support system of friends and family.  From world travels doing mission work, to stateside adventures with their families, these two travelers have a true passion […]

On a spectacular September evening, Brigid and Troy were married at their home overlooking Old Hickory Lake. From the pool-side bluegrass band to an appearance by The Grilled Cheeserie, this wedding was full of exciting details, great music and incredible celebration!  The amazingly talented Tyler Andrews was in attendance to capture this sweet couple’s beautifully styled and detailed lakeside […]
