What a great opportunity we had recently when we met the families of Julia & A.J. after they were referred to us by our great friend Martin O’Connor.  The incredible wedding location for the ceremony and reception was none other than the specatcular Schermerhorn Symphony Center in downtown Nashville.  Schermerhorn is one of those places that simply offers your eye so much to take in that each time you visit there you notice something new and it never ceases to amaze the viewer at the detail of the location.  Julia & A.J. chose to have their ceremony in the North End of the building which allowed the columns to provide a balanced architectural surrounding.  The reception that immediately followed the ceremony was held in the West Side courtyard of Schermerhorn and the weather could not have been better.  Tents were of course installed as not only a precaution for rain, but also as an added design element for the feel of the reception.  What a beautifully planned wedding that we were honored to have participated in.  Congratulations, Everyone!

We usually have the opportunity to meet with brides and grooms months in advance which serves as an ice-breaker for all of us and usually by the time the wedding comes around, we’re very familiar with each other and have talked about just about everything having to with the wedding.  Well… with Renu & Dowin living out of town, our meeting each other came only days before the wedding and you would have never guessed it.  We hit it off immediately and the entire meeting was filled with laughter while we hammered out the last adjustments to the wedding day schedule.  The more Renu & Dowin filled me in on the wedding plans, the more wheels started turning in my head about the unique images we would produce on the actual wedding day.  The wedding location was a private residence that offered us the world in terms of visual impact, comfort, and class.  The entire property glowed as the late afternoon sun settled in.  With most of the formal images done prior to the ceremony, we wrapped up just a few after the ceremony was over which allowed Renu & Dowin a relaxed schedule for traveling to their reception at Brentwood Country Club.  The celebration continued with fine dining, toasts, cake-cutting, and dancing.  What was really cool about their wedding date is that it was also their grandparents’ wedding date as well, so they were presented with their own mini-cake for their own anniversary cake-cutting.  It was a spectacular day full of beauty, fun, and best of all… great people.  Congratulations to Renu & Dowin along with their families.  We enjoyed our day together!
