An Elopement at Skinner Chapel

Nashville Wedding Collection, has had the pleasure of working with Reverend Brandon Rich, of Rich Events for many years now. While we do many large weddings with him throughout the year, we also do a large number of elopement weddings! Elopements are a very popular choice for many couples who are looking to either watch their budget or simply have a simple ceremony but still get awesome photos! Whatever the reason, couples come from all over the United States and other countries to get hitched here in Tennessee. One of the venues we shoot at regularly is Skinner Chapel. This chapel and the architecture surrounding it is simply breathtaking. Take a look at this elopement from this past week...

Vanessa + Josh A Wedding at Vanderbilt Legends Club

Vanessa + Josh had an absolutely beautiful wedding at Vanderbilt Legends Club. They were surrounded by their closest family and friends, most of which traveled a great distance to celebrate their love! Vanessa + Josh gave each of their guests a “Lucky 7” lottery ticket along with a lucky penny that read “Lucky in Love.” Josh is the 4th generation in his family to marry someone 7 years younger! So crazy!  Vanessa + Josh’s kind hearts and passion for giving back shined through on their wedding day as they made a donation to the Lymphoma Society in honor of their guests. It was truly a pleasure to spend such an amazing day with Vanessa, Josh, their friends and family!

Natisha + Xavier A Wedding at Houston Station

Natisha and Xavier just might be the most stylish couple we have ever worked with. They totally rocked their engagement session with an awesome wardrobe and personalities to match. We knew their wedding wouldn't disappoint, and we were right! Purple and bling everywhere and Natishas dress was absolutely stunning! We love shooting weddings at Houston Station, we always get great pictures there. The combination of this couple and that venue...perfection. Take a small peek at some of their day..

Carolyn + Jason A Destination Wedding in Wisconsin

Nashville Wedding Collection absolutely LOVES shooting destination weddings! This wasn't our first wedding in Wisconsin but it was our first time at American Club Resort. Let me just say, it is stunning! You wouldn't have believed we were in Wisconsin as it looked like somewhere on a beach. Even though we weren't able to walk out and take pictures on the actual property, we still managed to get some breathtaking shots of Carolyn and Jason. These two were so amazing, we are so honored they chose us to capture their big day. Take a peek at some of our favorite shots...

Kelley + Shaun A Wedding At Arrington Vineyards Stone House

From the moment I emailed back and forth with Kelley I was so excited to work with her and Shaun. They have an incredibly big heart for animals, which is something we are really passionate about. Their engagement session was a blast, we got incredible shots of them...we couldnt wait for the wedding day to arrive. Its no secret that we are suckers for small intimate weddings and this was one for the books! Everything, especially the couple, was just perfect! (With the exception of crazy hot and humid weather) We got stunning images, which wasnt hard to do with these two. Take a look at some of the highlights from their super special day...

Alisha + Bradley Old Natchez Country Club Wedding

Alisha + Bradley had amazingly beautiful wedding at Old Natchez Country Club. The golf course was full of endless photo opportunities. We absolutely love when we have brides like Alisha who allow for a large amount of time to take portraits. We used every second of time we had as our team, Alisha + Bradley cruised around on golf carts, stopping at each stunning location throughout the golf course. We feel so lucky to be the ones to document the emotion & love throughout the day as Alisha + Bradley celebrated with their closest friends and family!

Marilee + John Noah Liff Wedding

Marilee + John had a beautiful ceremony at St. Ann Catholic Church, surrounded by their friends and family. After the ceremony Marilee + John didn't waste any time getting the party started. They stopped at Tailgate Brewery to have a few drinks with their bridal party before heading to Noah Liff Opera Center for their beautiful reception. Their reception was quite the party, Marilee + her sisters even entertained their guests with an amazing dance! 

Cactus Creek Welcomes Baby Alfalfa

Nashville Wedding Collection loves everything about Cactus Creek. Connie and Ken are two of the most amazing people you will ever meet, their venue feels like a vacation anytime you are there and the horses...they are just amazing! We love getting to take pictures of our couples with the horses and while last year we got lots of great pictures with Freedoms baby, Clover, this year she gave birth to baby Alfalfa! Alfalfa is only 4 days old and full of personality and spunk! Freedom is an amazing mother..we all truly enjoyed getting to meet Alfalfa and watch how her mother cares for her. Take a peek at this sweet new addition!

Beautiful bride, handsome groom, Heather and Ed made capturing their big day super easy! Full of smiles and so much fun to be around. The weather was perfect and allowed us to really capture some stunning images...including at the reception which was an all out blast!! 

Shelley + Mark Stone Hall Wedding

Shelley + Mark's closest family & friends surrounded them on their special day at the beautiful & historic Stone Hall. We loved that their officiant had such a close relationship with them, it reflected in the kind words he said about Shelley + Mark as he spoke to their individual personalities, their compassion for others and love for one another. Shelley + Mark chose to treat their guests with Steaming Goat Food Truck & Las Paletas Gourmet Popsicles.. both were AMAZING! Thank you Shelley + Mark for allowing us to document your day! May God bless each adventure as you start your life together! 

Rachele + Tim Cactus Creek Wedding

We absolutely loved spending the day with Rachele + Tim as they tied the knot at beautiful Cactus Creek. Their wedding day truly reflected Rachele + Tim's personalities, their love for music and each other. We loved the intricate details, even their candy & guitar picks were personalized! Throughout the day it was clear that Rachele + Tim's friends and family were talented musicians + artists as the entertainment for the evening was not a DJ or a single band, but their guests! Rachele + Tim blew everyone away as they preformed a song they wrote together for their wedding day, it was truly something to witness! 

Emma + Kyle Brentwood Country Club Wedding

We clearly remember meeting with Emma + Kyle and their sweet dog at Starbucks as they were in the early stage of their wedding planning, even before they decided on their venue! We love that we were able to walk on this journey with them! After months of planning, Emma + Kyle had a gorgeous wedding at Brentwood Country Club. 

Ricky + Connie A Skinner Chapel/Nashville Wedding Collection Studio Wedding

This couple is quite near and dear to my heart, as it was my sisters wedding! I couldn't be more proud of her and absolutely love Ricky! The ceremony was an intimate affair at the beautiful Skinner Chapel in Nashville followed by an absolutely gorgeous reception in our own Nashville Wedding Collection studio! HUGE shout out to our planner Kayln with Weddings by Kayln who completely transformed the space! Also, a huge thanks to our amazing DJ, Party Patrol, for the uplighting! Last but certainly not least, thank you to Stacey Holt our very good friend who did Connies hair!! Everything turned out just perfect! 

LYDIA + ERIC A Wedding At Nelson Andrews Leadership Lodge

We photograph weddings nearly every weekend out of the year and see so many venues over and over again. Nelson Andrews Leadership Lodge really blew us away! We were so so so excited for Lydia and Eric's big day to arrive after having such an unbelievably awesome engagement session with them. Working with the amazing planning team of Weddings By Kayln made everything run like a well oiled machine. Super awesome couple! They had a picture perfect wedding (literally) and I am so excited to share this sneak peek. 

JUSTIN + HANNAH A CEDARWOOD WEDDING

These two lovebirds tied the knot at beautiful Cedarwood, a place for fairytale weddings! No detail was overlooked and the couples love for one another shined clear and bright in the images we captured. We had a blast being a part of their wedding day, their families were so much fun on the dance floor! I also have to give a big shout out to the staff at Cedarwood, they were top notch and a place we cant wait to shoot at again soon. Take a peek of Justin and Hannahs big day! 

Elba + Delvin - Belmont Mansion Elopement

After loving each other for 12 years, Elba + Delvin finally tied the knot at Belmont Mansion. Elba is one of those people you feel like you've known your entire life. She immediately explained to us that her 97 year old grandfather from Guatemala had flown to Nashville just to walk her down the aisle. The fact that her grandfather, their children and closest family and friends were there to witness their marriage was so special. We felt so privileged to be apart of their day! 

 

 

Caroline + Matt - The Barn at High Point Farms Wedding

We absolutely love having the opportunity to travel to new places and explore new venues. Caroline + Matt chose the perfect, family owned venue, The Barn at High Point Farms just outside of Chattanooga. The character and intricate detail of The Barn at High Point Farms clearly reflected Caroline + Matt's taste and style perfectly. Days leading up to their big day the forecast was calling for a high chance of thunderstorms, which was terrible news for their outside ceremony. The morning of Caroline + Matts wedding there was no rain in sight, they were able to have a beautiful outdoor ceremony. Just after the ceremony a thunderstorm rolled in, which made for some amazing photos!

Caroline + Matt, rain on your wedding day right after your ceremony is definitely good luck, especially when the storm allows us to capture awesome images!
