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!

The Rains Family {Nashville Pet Photographer}

I photographed the Rains last fall in their gorgeous Brentwood neighborhood. Ashley and Parker were joined by their tiny, fluffy Pomeranian pup, Elvis. Elvis was super sweet during the session--he loved being the center of attention and absolutely loved his people! Sadly, he passed away from health issues shortly after this session and is missed very much.

This blog post is all about celebrating his life and how much his people loved him!

George's 1st Birthday Pawty {Nashville Pet Photographer}

Everyone is in for some serious cuteness! This is a 1st birthday PAWTY (get it ;) for George, an Irish Setter. I first met George and his family last year when he was just a tiny puppy. I have loved getting to see him and his human sister, Blakely, grow!  

George's mom is Courtney, of Pizzazzerie, and she did such a wonderful job styling this little birthday pawty! Read her post to find out how she designed this super fun Curious George themed birthday celebration. 

George and Blakey had so much fun together eating cake and opening birthday presents! How perfect is that mini dog bone dispenser?!

Happy Birthday, George, and thanks so much for inviting me to your pawty! I had so much fun!
