Sunrise at the Eiffel Tower | Paris Wedding Photographer

Paris Wedding Photographer Eiffel Tower

My time in France can only be described as magical. I have never felt so relaxed, refreshed, and free as I did there. Paris is such an incredible city with cute cafes on every corner and stunning architecture. I loved stopping in at a cafe in the morning for my breakfast pastry, followed by wandering around the city and reading in the Jardin du Luxembourg. I was continually amazed by the history and beauty that surrounded me. There is something so classic and captivating about Paris, and I can’t wait to go back. Let’s be real, I mostly want to go back to eat more pastries, gelato, bread, and cheese!

Waking up before sunrise for this elopement inspiration at the Eiffel Tower was absolutely worth it. Ines and Kenny are the sweetest couple–Kenny was so attentive and tender with Ines during the whole shoot. After the Eiffel Tower we went to the Palais Royale. I loved photographing among the tree-lined walkways and interesting geometric textures of the buildings. The majority of these images were photographed on Portra 400 film.

Paris is one of the dreamiest places for an elopement, wedding, or session. I would love to photograph you in Paris! Get in touch and let’s make it happen!

Ally and Ryan’s Sunrise Engagement Session in Downtown Nashville

Nashville Engagement Photographer

There aren’t many things that would get me up before sunrise and drive to downtown Nashville, but photographing an amazing, joyful, and fun couple is one of them! Ally and Ryan live out of state and so we decided to do their Nashville engagement session the day before their wedding. I had so much fun hanging out with them two days in a row! You can see from these photos that these two are completely in love with each other and have so much fun together. And Ally, of course, looked so stylish in her outfit from BHLDN. I was smiling the entire time, and it was absolutely worth the early wake up call! I can’t wait to share pictures from their wedding, but for now, here are some favorites from their Nashville engagement session.

French Impressionist Wedding Inspiration | Paris Wedding Photographer

Paris Wedding Photography

I have loved the French impressionist painters since I was a little girl and frequently paged through my book of Monet paintings. I loved the way Monet captured nature in his paintings, and how he used such a gorgeous blend of colors. This styled shoot was inspired by Monet, the other impressionists, and my summer trip to France.

The color palate of this shoot uses two colors seen in many of Monet’s paintings–blush pink and soft blues. Our bride wore two amazing dresses–a magical, blush pink Galia Lahav gown with a full skirt and glittery accents, and a delicate, pale blue Claire Pettibone dress with lace accents. Both dresses made a statement in Riverwood Mansion’s unique and colorful rooms. I love how Riverwood Mansion’s walls look like the colorful skies and water in Monet’s paintings.

Olive Juice Press created the most elegant invitation suite with delicate calligraphy, while Mezzanine Floral’s full, organic bouquet and Baked in Nashville’s assortment of bright (and delicious) macarons make this wedding inspiration both timeless and modern.

This shoot was photographed on both digital and film mediums. Portra 400 and Ilford Delta 3200 were the film stocks used.

Alex & Ben’s North Carolina Wedding | Asheville Wedding Photographer

Best Wedding Photographer in Asheville North Carolina I have been looking forward to this wedding for so long! Alex and Ben are such a special couple. These two care deeply about their friends and family, justice, equality, and loving each other well. Their wedding at Slightly Different Nursery in North Carolina was filled with bright colors, a stunning sunset, and a ceremony overlooking the North Carolina mountains. It doesn’t get more breathtaking than this!

I loved getting to photograph Alex and Ben’s first look, and the complete joy they had to be with one another! Another one of my favorite parts of the day was getting to witness Ben, Alex, and Alex’s dad all tearing up at the beginning of the wedding ceremony. There are so many genuine, meaningful moments in this day, which is always my favorite thing to photograph as a wedding photographer.

I have so much I could say about this wedding, but instead I’ll finish with this Brene Brown quote that describes this amazing couple so well: “We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.”

Here are some of my favorites from their day! If you connect with the photographs you see here, I would love to talk with you about photographing your wedding! I love traveling and would love to get the chance to return to North Carolina for another wedding.

Chelsea & Jake’s Nashville Elopement

Elopement Photographer in Nashville

Chelsea and Jake live in Baltimore, but have been talking about eloping for a long time. They were actually inspired by Kelly Pickler to elope in Nashville! Chelsea and Jake wanted a beautiful outdoor location near Nashville with overlooks, greenery, and water. I suggested Narrows of the Harpeth, and it turned out to be the perfect location!

We were all a little nervous the day of the elopement because it had been raining allllll day, but right before we started shooting the clouds parted. We started with a first look on the Pedestrian Bridge and some photos downtown before driving over to Narrows of the Harpeth. Jake and Chelsea’s officiant was awesome and hiked to the top of the overlook so they could have a picturesque ceremony in the midst of the trees. We then had time to take couple photographs, ending at the waterfall. All of a sudden we felt a couple sprinkles of rain…followed by a torrential downpour! We were still 10 minutes from the parking lot but these two were so relaxed about the whole thing. On the drive home there was the most gorgeous double rainbow I have ever seen! I don’t think we could have chosen a more perfect day or location. Congratulations Chelsea and Jake! It was such an honor to witness and photograph your elopement.

I would love to help you plan your perfect elopement. Contact me to get started!

Kim & Matthew’s Cheekwood Wedding

Nashville Wedding Photographer at Cheekwood

Kim and Matthew had the most beautiful, laughter-filled, and meaningful wedding at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens. One of my favorite parts of this wedding day was Matthew and Kim’s Ketubah signing ceremony. In Jewish weddings, the couple actually gets married before their official ceremony! Surrounded by their closest family members, Kim and Matthew read wedding promises and sign an intricate Ketubah document. This was one of the most touching parts of the day, with Kim crying as she spoke her wedding promises to Matthew. After the Ketubah signing, the couple had a beautiful traditional ceremony in front of all of their guests. Another reason I love Jewish weddings is the hora during the reception! It’s seriously so much fun!

Kim and Matthew, it was an honor to be a part of your wedding day! Thank you for treating me like family and pulling me out on the dance floor. I had so much fun with you and your friends and family! Congratulations on your marriage!

Catherine and Tim’s Joyful Cedarwood Wedding in Nashville

Historic Cedarwood Weddings in Nashville

I’ve gotten to know Catherine and Tim this past year and I know them to be fun, joyful, and totally in love! So, of course their wedding day at Cedarwood was filled with meaningful details and so much laughter. Catherine’s dad had us in stitches with stories of Catherine growing up, and everyone went all out on the dance floor!

If you’ve followed my work for any amount of time you know that I am all about photographing real moments. There is nothing that makes me as happy as getting to document emotion-filled, funny, and touching moments during a wedding day. These moments are often fleeting, and so it is such a joy for me to get to give these photographs to my couples to keep forever! I also know how important it is to photograph your wedding day details. You have worked so hard to create details that are beautiful and meaningful, from carefully designing and ordering your invitations to creating a display of your grandparents’ wedding photographs. I want to make sure that I also style and document these special details in a beautiful way. I love photographing at Cedarwood because they know how important these details are to couples, and style everything so perfectly!

It was so hard to narrow down images for this blog post! I hope that the pictures I have shared here allow you to enter in to the beautiful details and genuine moments of Catherine and Tim’s Cedarwood wedding. And, if you connect with what you see here, get in touch to talk about having me photograph your celebration!

Fairytale Wedding at Graystone Quarry | Nashville Wedding Photographer

Nashville Wedding Photographer at Graystone Quarry I think the best way to describe Morgan and Chad’s Graystone Quarry wedding is a complete fairytale! This wedding was filled with so many laughter and tears–I often cry at weddings, but I’m pretty sure every single guest teared up as they read their hand-written vows to each other. Morgan could not have looked more beautiful in her Hayley Paige gown, and Graystone Quarry created a stunning, classic backdrop to their elegant wedding. Probably my favorite detail from the day was Morgan’s jumpsuit she wore during the sparkler exit. It was made from her mother’s wedding dress! How amazing is that!

One of the things I loved most about this wedding is how many loving, genuine moments filled the day. Morgan and Chad call each other “sweetie” all the time, and they truly are sweethearts! I hope you feel the love, joy, and laughter that filled Chad and Morgan’s wedding celebration as you look through these photographs.

Kim and Matthew’s Cheekwood Engagement Session | Nashville Wedding Photographer

Nashville Wedding Photographer at Cheekwood

This Cheekwood engagement session with Kim and Matthew makes me smile so much! These two were so sweet together and laughed throughout the whole session. I love when my couples trust me completely and really allow themselves to relax and have fun in front of the camera. One of my favorite things as a photographer is getting to capture the candid, in-between moments. These photos often end up being my favorites! I am sharing so many sweet “outtake” pictures from our time at Cheekwood because I love them so much! Also, can we talk about Kim’s gorgeous outfits?!

Kim and Matthew will be getting married at Cheekwood in May, and I am so excited to return to photograph their wedding! Cheekwood is such a gorgeous venue, and the best part is that it looks different during different seasons. I can’t wait to see all the gorgeous May blooms!
