The Porter Flea!
November 29, 2011
Do you have plans on Saturday? If you do, change them, you won’t want to miss the Porter Flea Holiday Market, which will run from noon to 8pm at the East Park Community Center. What’s the Porter Flea you ask? Well, it’s a one-of-a-kind holiday market featuring handmade gifts from over 60 local and regional artisans and designers, half a dozen popular food trucks, and live DJs. A perfect way to get some Christmas shopping done while supporting small businesses from your community!
And, I will be there too! Yep, that’s right, come see me and get your photo made in my photobooth (with some fun holiday headpieces) and enter to win a free session!
Hope to see you there,
Mandy

I had the pleasure of working with the lovely ladies at Top O’ Woodland a few weeks ago during Rose & Marshall’s wedding and wanted to share more about them and their wonderful wedding venue. This is the perfect venue for a wedding with a smaller guest list and makes for a very intimate and lovely setting, with both indoor and outdoor space, including its very own koi pond!
Belinda Leslie bought Top O’ Woodland Bed and Breakfast in 2000 and currently lives there with her super cute pup, Osie. (of course Osie was a part of this photo shoot, you can find her below) Along with being the owner/operator of the B & B, she is also an accomplished opera singer, musician, and a financial investment advisor. Belinda gave me quite a history on this beautiful old home. It and it’s outbuildings have had many interesting uses since being built in 1898. The carriage house & garage part of the property has been the home of a wrestling practice area and a Dairy Queen. You can read more about the history of The Top O’ Woodland here.
Sue Davies-Rephan joined the team earlier this year and is now responsible for coordinating weddings and other events there. Between the two ladies they have been responsible for thousands of weddings, so you are definitely in good hands! Sue was wonderful to work with during the recent wedding I shot there and did a great job helping the bride & groom coordinate all their wedding details.
The Top O’ Woodland offers menus and preferred vendors for their couples, as well as complete set up of chairs & tables for your big day. They are also a popular spot for Nashville destination weddings, which is perfect for many reasons, including the fact that the house is a working bed & breakfast (so no worrying about somewhere to stay) and Sue & Belinda are both chaplains, so no worries about finding someone to officiate your wedding! They have several different packages for brides & grooms to fit everyone’s budget.
There are so many great details here it would be impossible to show them all in one blog post, but I’ll definitely do my best to include many of them here.
Thanks for looking & thanks Belinda & Sue for a fun afternoon!

My husband Walter and I were married at Top Of Woodland this past March (20th). We couldn’t have picked a better place…it was perfect. Sue was our chaplain and wedding planner and did a lovely job. We’ve since recommended Top Of Woodland to friends and family. Thank you for the great article and gorgeous pictures! You’ve captured the beauty and charm of the chapel!
