It was Meghan & Caleb’s big day this weekend and we were there to capture the celebration!  The wedding ceremony was held at Scarritt-Bennett where I’m sure all the out-of-town guests were in awe at the beauty of the awesome structure.  It was a 6:00 ceremony time, so darkness had already fallen which made for a soft-light glow from Scarritt’s historical lighting.  Meghan & Caleb chose to complete all their formal photographs before the ceremony, so once we heard that they were husband & wife, without hesitation, they were able to exit through rose petals and board their antique Jaguar provided by Matchless Limousine.  If you’ve never seen this car, it’s one of the nicest classic automobiles available for weddings in Nashville.  It’s pristine!  After a quick stop by the pedestrian bridge for a few photos in freezing temperatures, we were off to the reception off West End.  We were SO thankful that the Vanderbilt / UT game was earlier in the day in order to make traveling West End even possible.  At the reception, guests were treated to dining, dancing, and music provided by Spangler Entertainment.  Congratulations, Meghan & Caleb and thanks for having us as part of your wedding day!

What an action-packed weekend we had with the wedding of Ashleigh & Jeff.  From the rehearsal through the end of the reception (ok, and a little beyond), there was not a dull moment in sight.  We had an absolute blast with everyone who traveled in for the wedding.  Their wedding was at the awesome Gaylord Opryland Resort in the Delta Pavilion where everything was not only decorated beautifully, but also accented with the holiday decorations of the resort along with the garden sounds of flowing water.  With the daylight hours being shorter now, the ceremony took place at a very romantic hour of 5:30, so the garden accent lights made for the perfect glowing wedding atmosphere.  After wrapping up a small photo-tour toward the reception location, romance turned into partying!  Oh my gosh at the band!  This band totally rocked after traveling in from Chattanooga.  Only one break the entire night and the rest of the hours were full of jammin’ country music like most people have never heard live before.  After hours of partying, the reception came to a close, but the celebrations continued as guests wished to take advantage of their visit to Nashville.  Congratulations, Ashleigh & Jeff and thanks for a great wedding weekend!

It was only a couple years ago that we had a blast covering the wedding of Jennifer and John.  Fast-forward to this month and we heard the great news from them that they’re now expecting their first child, so when a maternity session was mentioned, we were like “YEAH”!!!!   With such good weather this weekend, we not only did some studio work, but also dashed outside to get a variety of images!  It won’t be long now and their lives will be even more exciting than before.  We’re looking forward to even more sessions where we’ll capture their little girl’s first year of growth.
