Puppy-Filled Wedding Inspiration at Riverwood Mansion {Nashville Wedding Photographer}

I am so excited to share this springtime Riverwood Mansion wedding inspiration! This was my first ever styled shoot and I loved partnering with the lovely ladies at Riverwood Mansion in East Nashville. Of course I couldn't do a wedding styled shoot without filling it with as many dogs as possible! We had 7 in total, of all shapes and sizes. The star of the shoot was Etta from East C.A.N. At the time of the shoot, Etta was looking for her forever home. She has since been adopted! The rest of the pups came with our weddings guests and the mansion's staff members! 

We incorporated our love of animals with a casual and eclectic wedding on Riverwood's front lawn, right under a 200 year old magnolia tree. I honestly can't think of a more fun way to get married! There was even a mini fenced-in dog park fenced where the pups could play.

A huge thank you to all the wonderful local vendors and models who made this possible - it was so much fun working with all of you! Make sure to scroll to the end of the post to see all the vendor information!

Ashley & Kurt's W.O. Smith School of Music Wedding {Nashville Wedding Photographer}

Ashley and Kurt had a beautiful and lively wedding at the W.O. Smith School of Music here in Nashville. The day was filled with so much laughter, love, yummy food, and dancing! All of Ashley and Kurt's friends and family members were so kind and loving--it was so sweet to see the way they celebrated the couple throughout their wedding day. Kurt and Ashley are big golfers and they honeymooned at a gold resort in Idaho! How fun! Here are my favorites from their wedding day.

Christine & Brendon Wedding Sneak Peek {Nashville Wedding Photographer}

Two days after their fun downtown Nashville engagement session Christine and Brendon were married in an intimate ceremony at The Hermitage Hotel. They had only twelve guests, all of whom were immediate family. After the ceremony, we walked to the beautiful War Memorial for photos with the couple, followed by a dinner reception at the hotel. There are so many wonderful pictures to share from this wedding, but, as usual, this sneak peek is all about the bride and groom. Stay tuned for their full wedding blog post!
