I recently had the absolute pleasure of assisting Ms. Rachel Williamson photograph this gorgeous Nashville wedding at Owen Chapel! As the second photographer, I had the opportunity to focus a bit more on the moments that were happening, which is what I love most! Erin & Ross were so excited to get married. Hands down, their enthusiasm was my favorite part of the whole wedding. I loooove their big smiles after the ceremony!

Here are a few of my favorites from the day. Enjoy!

Ceremony: Owen Chapel in Brentwood
Reception: Hillwood Country Club in Nashville
Main Photographer: Rachel Williamson Photography

A little preview of this gorgeous Nashville wedding I photographed yesterday at Sycamore Springs! Congrats to the newlyweds :D

I am SO thankful for Lauren & JD bringing me all the way up to Paris Tennessee to photograph their wedding. I had so much fun & I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet these two & their welcoming friends and family!

Gonna be honest, the fact that Lauren & JD are both incredibly smart & in medical school kinda intimidated me at first! But as soon as Lauren greeted me with a huge smile & a hug, I was good. Doesn’t she have the most GORGEOUS smile?!

Their ceremony was incredibly moving ( as evidenced by all the tears! love it!) & their reception was a party I’ll never forget! So, so fun. I’ve never seen a dance train include so many people!

Lauren & JD, thank you so much for letting me document your day! Best of luck as you return to med school as newlyweds! Here are my favorites of the day.

Choosing your own work for your portfolio is so strange. It’s no wonder good photo editors can be priceless to a photographer’s career.

I always find myself coming back to old photos, photos that I previously didn’t even notice or care much about. I’ve spent today updating my portfolio, so I went through a lot of my old work. One photo from my first wedding of 2010 really caught my eye. It’s so strange because I honestly didn’t remember this shot one bit. I didn’t even consider putting it in their blog post.

The bride’s dad, the ring-bearers, and flower-girls are standing outside the church waiting for the OK to start walking down the aisle. It’s the anticipation that gets me in this shot. It’s the jitters. And I know they have them because I get them too. Surely the bride’s dad is a bit nervous. He’s about to walk down the aisle with his daughter, yet there he is, helping the little ones make sure they know what to do.

I’m all about these subtle moments lately.

Time flies.
