Kelly & Dominic's Wedding at Christ the King {Nashville Wedding Photographer}

I really enjoyed my day with Kelly & Dominic. Everything was so beautiful - all the details, her dress, the flowers, the venue. But the parts of the day that really stand out to me are their ceremony and reception. Kelly & Dominic's ceremony was a full Catholic mass, and right away Kelly mentioned that it was the most important part of the day to them - which is so awesome and really how it should be, right? It was a beautiful service.

We did most of their photos at the ceremony site, but then I took the couple to the close by Sevier Park for some shots of just the two of them - I LOVE it when couples include time just for them!

Fun fact about this couple - they were best friends for 10 years before deciding maybe there was something else going on there too! I love that and I don't think you can start out marriage with a stronger foundation than 10 years of friendship first!

Speaking of friends, this couple's friends and family were so sweet to me and my team all day and were genuinely there for this great couple who they obviously want the very best for  - it made the day go so smoothly!

And the reception - possibly the best dance party I've ever photographed! So much fun and so many smiling faces - it was really hard not to join in :)

And now for the best part of any blog - the photos! (and there are lots today)

Thanks for looking,

Sarah & Tommy {Nashville Wedding Photographer}

Sarah and Tommy had the sweetest backyard wedding this fall, and I'm so excited to share some of the images from their day. We had such gorgeous fall colors, and the weather was just perfect. They got married in their backyard, which backs up to the Harpeth river - so it was like we were at our own private little park. They also had a access to a neighbor's horse farm, giving us yet another fantastic location to do photos. Everything about this day was perfect, especially all the details that Sarah put together! Those included the backdrop for the ceremony made from their neighbors reclaimed barn wood, home made candles, horseshoes, great plaid dresses for her bridesmaid - right down to the BBQ food truck that served the meal - it was all so great!

And as you can see from the photos below, this couple and their friends and family know how to have fun, and have such a great sense of humor!

A big thanks to my second shooter, Erin, and to all the vendors involved (listed below) who helped make this day wonderful!
