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!

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.

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.

Southern Wedding Inspiration at Front Porch Farms | Nashville Wedding Photographer

Las Paletas Popsicles Wedding Popsicles

In think January is the perfect time to go back to warmer, brighter days and share this Front Porch Farms wedding inspiration! Southern summers are all about colorful flowers, flowy lace dresses, eucalyptus garlands on dressed up tables, and lots of sweet, romantic kisses. This Front Porch Farms wedding inspiration is Southern perfection. There are so many playful, colorful, and happy details in this styled shoot. The bride’s Rue de Seine full lace dress and colorful bouquet fit perfectly with the groom’s handsome tan suite. The couple also shared Las Paletas popsicles, a Nashville staple. One of my favorite details is the invitation suite by Happy Tines, especially the little map to lead wedding guests to Front Porch Farms. We are thrilled to have our Front Porch Farms inspiration featured today on Every Last Detail!

Best of 2016 | Nashville and Destination Wedding Photographer

2016 has been quite the year for me, both personally and for my business. I graduated from college, photographed a full year of weddings, and started on my Masters in Social Work in Ohio. This year has been emotionally challenging in so many ways, but it has also been filled with a lot of joy and blessings. I can’t believe I’m one fourth of the way through graduate school and almost fully booked for 2017!

This year, I have had the privilege of photographing couples in Nashville, North Carolina, Washington D.C., Boston, Minnesota, East Tennessee, and Ohio. I have worked with so many amazing vendors at venues across the country, and have been lucky to be featured on incredible wedding blogs like Green Weddings Shoes, Grey Likes Weddings, Ruffled, Wedding Chicks, Inspired By This, Burnett’s Boards, The Perfect Pallete, Rustic Wedding Chic, Southerly Grace, Fab You Bliss, and Boho Weddings. I’ve seen so much growth in my business and feel I’ve truly refined my style.

For all the good things that have happened in 2016, I am ready to say goodbye to it and move on to 2017. I am ready for a little break from school and weddings…some time to recharge and find rest and inspiration for the year to come. 2017 is going to be filled with even more travels (including trips to France and Iceland which I am so thrilled for!) and so many incredible, kind, and joyful couples. I am truly thankful for everyone who has trusted me to photograph your wedding day. It is such an honor to get to be a part of something so intimate, special, and emotional.

It was so hard narrowing down my favorite photographs from this year, so get ready for a long post! But I am so in love when these photographs and I hope you’re able to feel the emotions captured in these images. And if you’re planning a wedding and connect with the work you see here, contact me for details about having me as your wedding or elopement photographer!

~ much love, Amilia

Bold & Luxe Southwest Inspiration at Graystone Quarry | Nashville Wedding Photographer

Nashville Wedding Photographer at Graystone Quarry Boho Wedding

Graystone Quarry is a new wedding venue south of Nashville…it’s actually just a few minutes away from my house! I absolutely loved partnering with an amazing team of vendors to create this luxe and bold wedding inspiration. Curated details like potted cacti, crystals, and faux fur parallel the outdoor setting of exposed limestone. The color palette transfers from the ceremony space to the gray farm table with ghost chairs where a luxurious flower garland runner makes a bold statement. This boldness is mirrored by the bridal bouquet and choice of a black lace crop top with a gauzy skirt from BHLDN for our bride, as well as the marbled invitation suite by Designs in Paper.

This Graystone Quarry wedding inspiration is featured on Ruffled! Here’s what they had to say: Today’s color palette is right at home in the fall season, blending rich fuchsia and burgundy with just the right touch of gold for a look that’s extra cozy and romantic. The talented team of Amilia Photography, Alexandrea Cantrell Weddings, and Enchanted Florist joined creative forces to bring us this bohemian styled shoot at a rock quarry, proving that something beautiful can always come out of any unique location!

Enjoy some of my favorites from this styled shoot! I hope it inspires you, especially if you’re planning your own Graystone Quarry wedding!
