Winter weddings have a whimsical magic about them. Belynda and Dawson’s was an evening candlelit event at the beautiful Wightman Chapel at Scarritt-Bennett Center in Nashville.
I love the white on white flowers, shoes, etc with turquoise and peacock feathers accents for for winter. And the super cute Mrs. Darnell hanger is just perfect to display the dress so we can see every perfect detail. Fresh by Carrie Ann always does an amazing job with flowers. We get excited every time we see he on the vedor list.
I love to see a bride’s face when she first sees the engagement book or other photo items we bring on the wedding day. Belynda thought of so many great details. The little make-up bags with initials are such cute gifts. The material flowers with lace from her mothers wedding dress were perfect accents for all kinds of items for the day. I have never seen a bride wear her mothers dress for the wedding day, but the have bits of lace to carry on the tradition makes me teary eyed.
Most of our couples see each other ahead of the ceremony for a private moment. Love the covering the eyes and seeing each other at the same time. They had so much joy on their faces. Dawson looked so relaxed after he finally got to see Belynda. Private moments are an awesome new tradition on the wedding day.
The guys look awesome in their Street’s Tuxedo Tuxes. These tuxedos always look great and the guys love how they fit. Dawson’s and his groomsmen look like they belong in a magazine.
The girl looked great in their Watters and Watters dresses. Just as the sun set it was time for the ceremony.
Scarritt Bennett is so beautiful with candles at night.

They were so happy after the ceremony. They were definitely ready to be Mr. and Mrs.
The cake was from The Bake Shoppe of Main Event Productions. There was a different delicious flavor on each layer. The guest loved trying all the great flavors.
Congrats Belynda and Dawson. We loved being a part of your day!

Liz is such a beautiful bride in her Lazaro dress. I love this dress line and it was a perfect fit to her elegant wedding at Hermitage Hotel in Nashville, TN.
I love our brides. I am convinced we have the nicest brides and grooms. Jessica and her family are perfect examples of that. It was so much fun to shoot Jessica’s bridal portraits on Thursday at Riverwood Mansion. The temperature was a little cool, but Jessica was a great model. Since her wedding is today we didn’t have to wait to show you some of her bridal portraits. Yeah!
C ongrats Jessica and Michael!

My other favorite thing about Halloween is we have been blessed to shoot a wedding on Halloween weekend at Cedarwood for the last few years. Yesterday we were there, for Reagan and Scott’s wedding. We just had to share a sneak peak of a few photos. Cedarwood is truly the most amazing wedding location in Nashville. A crisp fall day, amazing flowers, and multi-colored leaves blowing in the wind set the scene for a romantic and magical wedding day. We never get tired of this beautiful antebellum location.
Reagan and Scott were married under a beautiful fall sky with a full sword ceremony to send them off. They both radiated happiness the entire day. I don’t think I have ever seen a bride smile more than Reagan. She looked amazing in her Ralph Lauren Dress.
A litle bit of Halloween whimsy adds some extra fun to the wedding day.
Every nook and cranny at Cedarwood has some great Fall decor. The details are what make a wedding special.
