Lisa and Ryan were married on June 20th at the historic Union Station Hotel.  Despite the heat, they had a wonderful wedding day.  Here are a few of my favorite images of their special day!

Union Station Hotel is a beautiful place to get married, or just a wonderful place to stay when visiting Nashville!

Sabrina and Matt were married on June 7th at the beautiful Riverwood Mansion.  Photographing at Riverwood Mansion is an absolute pleasure, because it provides the ideal environment to create beautiful images!  Throw in a gorgeous bride and groom, the people they love,  and pretty light and you will find one happy photographer!  It really is true that the wedding day passes so quickly….Sabrina and Matt’s wedding was no exception and felt like a blur!  It was such an honor to be the one to preserve the moments from Sabrina and Matt’s wedding day!  Here are a few of my favorite images of their perfect day!

The mansion is so pretty and well cared for.  What a great place to get married!

Gorgeous Sabrina getting ready for handsome Matt!

Sabrina has an excellent eye for details!  Purple shoes….I love it!

I really love it when the bride wears a veil….especially one like this!  The flowers are a pretty touch too!

Sabrina and her girls enjoying the moment!

Sabrina and Mom feeling the joy!

This is probably one of my favorite moments ever from a wedding!  When I told Matt’s Dad that this was his opportunity to tell his son how proud was of his son, he ended up getting really emotional.  I felt so privileged to witness the show of love that this father felt for his son!

There is something so classic and handsome about a man in uniform!

Waiting for the ceremony to begin.

What a perfect place to commit your life to someone!

These two are definitely in love!

What a beautiful couple!

You can never go wrong with pretty colors and a wine theme!

Love, humor and laughter is a wonderful combination!

 Sarah and Mathias tied the knot, on June 6th, just outside of Nashville, TN.  The ceremony and reception took place at the beautiful home of Sarah’s parents.  Everything about the day could not have been more perfect!  Thanks to Rachel and her team, with Something Blue Weddings and Events, the day was smooth and organized.  Anyone who knows me, knows that I love photographing garden weddings…this one was certainly no exception!  Yes, there is always an added stress with garden weddings, in that you never know if the weather is going to be on your side.  But when the weather cooperates, it typically makes for a magical day…which was the case for Sarah and Mathias.  I could ramble on and on about how amazing this wedding was, but I think I will let the images tell that story.  All I can say is that the Williams sure do know how to throw an amazing party!

Stunning dress on the hanger, but even more stunning on Sarah!

Mathias looking handsome as ever!

Sarah’s dad(Buck) is a Music Agent/Manager in town and lined up amazing music for the night.   The Wallers were really amazing!

Buck (dad) arranged for some special musical guests, whom he was worked with in the past, to perform as a special gift to Sarah & Mathias!  The drummer is Bill Berry(REM), Buck is playing harmonica and the guitarist is Mike Mills(REM).
