Jesse & Cody {Nashville Elopement Photographer}

October 31, 2017 Kaitlyn Holeman

There are so many reasons why I love elopements, especially ones like Jesse and Cody's recent elopement at the Riverwood Mansion! These two lovebirds came from Springfield, MO with a few of their closest friends and family to celebrate their marriage.

The Riverwood Mansion is a beautiful place to say your vows, and Sue with Elope in Nashville created a lovely elopement ceremony inside the mansion for Jesse and Cody.

After taking photos there, we headed into downtown, which was their first time in downtown Nashville! Although they don't have any pups yet, they were certainly checking out every dog we passed in town -- so I won't be surprised if one joins their family in the future!

They also had a fun Friday the 13th invite and wedding ring case, so it's even more fitting to share it on Halloween! And just wait until you see her gorgeous hair which Cody did herself with the help of a friend!

Thank you, Jesse and Cody, for giving me the opportunity to capture such a special day for you.

Amy & Jay's at home surprise wedding! {Nashville Wedding Photographer}

February 6, 2014 Mandy2

I did a sneak preview of Amy & Jay's wedding a few months ago, but really wanted to do a full blog post from the day. I can't tell you how much fun this wedding was and how different from any other wedding I've ever photographed. First, most of the guests didn't know it was a wedding at all! They all met at a local restaurant (Mo'Cara) where friends and family thought they were celebrating Amy's birthday.

Then in walks the groom (who was supposed to be out of town) and the couple announces that the group will be heading back to their house for the couple's wedding! And what a sweet, intimate wedding it was. The ceremony was officiated by Amy's dad, with ring bearer Andy the pup hanging out in the isle getting petted by everyone he walked by. It was such a meaningful ceremony and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Plus, the bride wore a fabulous black dress (as well as all the bridesmaids) and teal heals - how great is that!

I loved meeting and working with this great group of people - they made me feel SO welcomed!

Enjoy!

Laura & Josh's Farm Wedding {Kentucky Wedding Photographer}

January 3, 2014 Mandy2

This outdoor wedding was so personalized and beautiful! I love all the details Laura & Josh put into the day, and even though we had a tiny bit of rain during the day it landed perfectly between the ceremony and reception-causing no problems at all. From the hand painted ring boxes to the hand written chalkboard (in leu of programs) everything looked great!

Laura & Josh were married in Hopkinsville, Kentucky at a gorgeous home of a friend. They choose to do a first look in the front of the house (with all the bridesmaids looking on from the windows upstairs - so cute!). Laura & Josh are seriously two of the sweetest most laid back people ever. Their small family wedding in the afternoon reflected how much their family and closest friends care about them. They had a larger group at the tented reception that evening in the backyard for dancing & celebrating!

I can't wait to share the amazing details and vendors that helped make this day perfect! Onto the fun stuff- the photos (and there are many, many photos :)

Thanks for looking!
