Jesse & Cody {Nashville Elopement Photographer}

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.

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

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!

Kia & Austin {Southeast Missouri Wedding Photographer}

This wedding is extra special to me because it was filled with my own family & friends from my hometown in Missouri. Kia is my first cousin, and I've looked forward to photographing her & Austin's wedding day for a very long time. Kia was a gorgeous bride - her dress from the White Room here in Nashville was amazing and fit her style perfectly - and Austin was as handsome as ever in his gray tux!

Kia & Austin's wedding day was filled with the challenges of weather that forced them to move indoors after having planned an outdoor ceremony, but the skies cleared for us to be able to go to their outdoor site for all their bridal party photos. I'm so glad it did because they are some of my all time favorites!

I loved being a part of this day with them, and I hope you enjoy their blog post today - it's so much fun reliving the day through their photos!

Lots of wedding gorgeousness ahead - and I really had to make myself stop including more and more photos - love this wedding & this couple :)

Enjoy!
