Kelly & Rick tied the knot on October 11, 2008. The ceremony and reception was held at the ever so charming Learning Center at Cheekwood. Courtney, from A Magical Affair, helped in making a flawless day even more flawless! Weddings like Kelly and Rick’s are a constant reminder why I love my job so much. I get to work with beautiful, happy, people that are in love! What more can I say! Congratulations Kelly and Rick!

The sun looked so beautiful streaming through the trees of the ceremony site!

What a great space for a reception!

I am not sure which version of this image I like best, the color or the black and white one?

Tiffany and Justin were married, on a pristine fall day in October, at the Historic Presbyterian church in downtown Franklin. The reception was held at Oak Lawn Plantation in Springhill, TN. One of the many interesting historical facts about Oaklawn is that it was once the home to George Jones & Tammy Wynette. Tiffany and Justin had the most perfect wedding day and it was a joy working with them! Below are just a few of my favorite images from their wedding!

Tiffany’s dress was so perfect for her!

Every girl loves shoes, especially these!

Tiffany looked like a classic Hollywood beauty!

Jen and Mark were married on the beach, in Hawaii, in September and had their reception, in Nashville, upon their return. While I didn’t photograph the wedding, I did have the opportunity to photograph their fabulous party, that was held at the ever so hip Cabana! Jen and Mark are such a wonderful couple and they truly compliment one another. In addition, they have incredible friends that love to have a great time and celebrate! I think that it is safe to say that fun was had by all!

The happy couple!

Adoring friends!

A romantic moment!

Jen has the most amazing girl friends!

I love the feel of this moment!

These two belong together!

Jessi & Nathan were married on September 27th at The Inn at Evin’s Mill. The location was unique, rustic, romantic and intimate! The bride and groom looked amazing and couldn’t take their eyes off of one another! The day really was perfect! Jessi & Nathan, it was an honor photographing your wedding and I wish you a long and happy marriage!

Evin’s Mill has so much charm and character.

I love the look of this old wall, it was the perfect background!

I have never seen a man look as good in a beard as Nathan!

Susan & Justin were married on June 21, 2008 at the historic Spring Haven Mansion. Once again I had the pleasure to work with another wonderful couple! One could really feel the love between this beautiful couple! I was a little worried about rain the day of the wedding but everything went off without a hitch and could not have been better. Thank you God! While I really love black and white photography, the majority of images that I am showing from this wedding however are in color, due to the fact the colors were so pretty and vibrant. Thank you Susan and Justin for giving me the opportunity to photograph your beautiful wedding day!

What a cool idea to have a fan be the program that is handed out to guests….especially when it is a little warm outside. I love the color too!

Susan’s nieces and nephews are absolutely adorable! I am officially ready to be a mother now!

The adorable niece!

The glowing bride to be!

I love how Susan’s dress contrasted with the bridesmaids dresses!

Sarah & Keith were married on June 14, 2008 at Westminister Presbyterian Church with a reception following at the beautiful Hermitage Hotel. Everything was truly perfect about Sarah & Keith’s wedding day! Here are a few of my favorite pics of the lovely couple and their beautiful wedding day. Congratulations Sarah and Keith!

The lighting looked so dramatic the way it fell on Sarah’s dress!

Sarah’s mom is so wonderful and proud of her daughter!

Westminister does not allow photography during the ceremony. I was able to get a few shots looking through the crosses of the doors however.

What a fun and wonderful bridal party!

A little more romance with the Magnolia tree!
