Travellers Rest Engagement Session – Emily and Johnny
Emily and Johnny are getting married in December and they are the cutest couple! We met up with them at Travellers Rest in Nashville yesterday for their engagement session. They are both so upbeat and after working with them yesterday, we’re really looking forward to their wedding!
There were all of these little pumpkins laying around from a kids festival they had at the plantation earlier in the day. We thought we’d have them lay on them while I climbed a tree to get this. :)

Then they climbed a tree…

We’ve learned some new tricks over the past couple of days so of course they got completely overused during this session – it sure is pretty though!

It’s been a pretty rainy dull week around here so we were so excited when the sun came out in just the most perfect way a couple of hours before the shoot. It complimented the autumn leaves so beautifully!

and then back to the cool new trick again. This is my favorite!

Thanks for joining us Emily and Johnny! Have a great weekend everyone!

Nashville, TN Engagement Session
My crazy college friend Jennifer is getting married next summer to her perfect match. :)

They got engaged at the Parthenon – right here to be exact –

We had such a good time with these guys – Jennifer can keep everyone laughing constantly and I was surprised to find out that Andrew is quite the funny guy himself – he was always so shy in school! Anyway, they wanted to play a little football during their session and man! They are rough!

Jennifer doesn’t always play by the rules when running the ball to the end zone. Hey Jen – we were thinking this one would be great for the save the date cards! ;)

How much air can you get?

Playing in the weeds…

and then collapsing in the spot lights at last…

It was great to see you guys again! Love you!

Sheraton Hotel Wedding, Nashville, TN
Friday the 13th was Nicki and Jeff’s Wedding day! They planned an old Hollywood themed wedding at the Sheraton downtown and the scene was stunning! What a fun wedding! Here are the favorites….

Lorrie Bradshaw did everyone’s makeup. She is fantastic!


The Sassy Ladies

We always go scope out the location before the wedding day to look for ideas and we fell in love with the dramatic lighting in the hotel lounge. It went well with the Hollywood glamour idea.

and of course the pool table was a fun find! :)

The Groom

The beautiful ceremony was performed by Mary Griggs.

Nicki’s mom…

The first kiss and Sean hiding behind a pillar to get it. :)

Mr. and Mrs. Winsett

A gorgeous dinner reception was planned in the Pinnacle.

The view of the city is amazing up there and the room spins so you can see all sides of the Nashville skyline.



The end…

What a beautiful evening! After this, we slept for 3 hours and then drove to Atlanta, GA for Saturday’s wedding. More photos of that event coming later today so check back soon!
