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 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 […]

Yeah, this wedding is gonna be 3 posts.  I won’t apologize…it’s just really that amazing! We started with a single image and I’m impressed how quickly the event came together. With farm tables, benches & tuscan chairs and brightly colored linens, the tent at The Governor’s Club was transformed. Gold chargers and bow tie napkins […]

Confession: I hate blogging. There, I said it. I need to incorporate it into my workflow, but I rarely find the energy or time to do it. That’s not fair to my brides. I’ve been a bride and I remember that seeing our images up on vendors’ sites was a big deal and SO exciting. […]

This wedding is so special to me!  One of my dearest friend’s sister, after YEARS together, was tying the night with her sweetheart! From the Christmas trees to the peppermint bark favors, this wedding was such an intimate and festive occasion!  A traditional church ceremony was followed by a homestyle meal, delicious red velvet cake and a […]

I have found the sweetest friends in my fellow wedding planners.  Meredith and Austin have been saving graces and incredible resources.  Although we each work in different areas of Nashville, these ladies have been crucial to my sanity.  Mer sent this gorgeous bride my way. Julie was the definition of “blushing bride” (how GORGEOUS is she?!): […]

I’ve held off on doing this post; not because I don’t want to (far from it!) but because, to date, it’s one of the most personal weddings I’ve worked/planned. Sometimes, an opportunity comes around to repay someone that you so desperately want to thank.  They deserve to know how much their kindness has meant to you and […]
