Super excited to share a sneak peek of Melody & Phillip's wedding on the blog today! I know they just returned from their honeymoon & are settling into their new life together :) They are such a sweet couple, and it's so obvious they adore each other. A little rain did not stop them from enjoying their wedding day or doing photos outside! Enjoy the preview!

Camellia & Will {Nashville Wedding Photographer}

September 12, 2012 Mandy2

There are SO many things I love about this wedding. For starters, there is the couple - Camellia is just about the sweetest person ever and was a bride so genuinely excited about her wedding day it was hard not to catch her enthusiasm. She described this day as the best day of her life. Then you have Will - calm, collected and ready to marry the girl of his dreams. Their families and bridal party were wonderful too, supportive and fun - what more do you need :)

Secondly, they brought their dog to the wedding to get a few photos done with them. Even though it was just for a few minutes, I know that the photo below that includes Dixie is one of the couples favorites - definitely a great idea and something I'd encourage all my couples with pups to do!

Of course there is all the gorgeousness of our bride, the dress, the shoes, the flowers, the cake - everything was just lovely.

Let's get to the reception/dance party. Everyone at this reception had fun. And I mean everyone, myself included. It was impossible not to get caught up in the lighthearted, celebratory vibe that the entire reception had. It began with a traditional Persian marriage ceremony that Camellia's mother put together that ending in dancing, and the dancing continued throughout the night. They also got serenaded by one of the groomsmen, which was pretty great, and I can't leave out Camellia's dad dancing!

To top it off there were Will & Camellia campaign buttons, I'd vote for them.

Thank you Will & Camellia for including me in this wonderful day!

Margaret & Brandon {Downtown Nashville Wedding Photographer}

August 24, 2012 Mandy2

I'm so excited to share the full blog post of Margaret & Brandon's wedding today! They were married at Cellar One - a fun venue with an outdoor courtyard for the ceremony and an indoor area for the reception that opens up onto 1st avenue. This is such a great spot right in the heart of downtown Nashville! We had so much fun during their engagement session at Percy Warner park, I knew their wedding would be just as great, and it didn't disappoint. They are such a laid back couple and really made my job easy.

Margaret and Brandon didn't see each other before the ceremony and the emotion of the moment made everyone tear up. It was very clear that this couple is much loved by their family and friends.

And let's talk about the reception - and the dancing. Dancing complete with grandma singing all the words to Moves Like Jagger, while dancing the entire time & the groom and his groomsmen singing the Jack Sparrow song (you know, the one with Michael Bolton from SNL). It was so fun. In a million years I would not have thought I would type out these two sentences, but here they are!

Thanks for including me in your day - it was wonderful working with you!
