Kelly & Dominic's Wedding at Christ the King {Nashville Wedding Photographer}

I really enjoyed my day with Kelly & Dominic. Everything was so beautiful - all the details, her dress, the flowers, the venue. But the parts of the day that really stand out to me are their ceremony and reception. Kelly & Dominic's ceremony was a full Catholic mass, and right away Kelly mentioned that it was the most important part of the day to them - which is so awesome and really how it should be, right? It was a beautiful service.

We did most of their photos at the ceremony site, but then I took the couple to the close by Sevier Park for some shots of just the two of them - I LOVE it when couples include time just for them!

Fun fact about this couple - they were best friends for 10 years before deciding maybe there was something else going on there too! I love that and I don't think you can start out marriage with a stronger foundation than 10 years of friendship first!

Speaking of friends, this couple's friends and family were so sweet to me and my team all day and were genuinely there for this great couple who they obviously want the very best for  - it made the day go so smoothly!

And the reception - possibly the best dance party I've ever photographed! So much fun and so many smiling faces - it was really hard not to join in :)

And now for the best part of any blog - the photos! (and there are lots today)

Thanks for looking,

~ Mandy

Amanda & Phil {Downtown Nashville Wedding Photographer}

I have loved working with Amanda & Phil so much, and their wedding day was such a lovely day. The weather was perfect, they were so excited to be married, and their friends & family were just wonderful! I knew they would be so much fun to photograph on their wedding day, especially since we'd been able to do engagement photos earlier in the year at Percy Warner Park.  

Amanda & Phil are a great couple, and their personalities combine in a way that makes perfect sense - a great match! I'm also so glad I was able to start the festivities with them & meet all their family and friends the night before the wedding at their Country Music Hall of Fame rehearsal dinner.

We started the day with getting ready photos at the Hilton, which is also where their beautiful reception was held. Their ceremony was in the Presbyterian church, a great downtown church. We actually wandered all over the downtown area to do photos - mainly on the Shelby Street walking bridge and the Schermerhorn Symphony Center - both great spots!

Okay, now for the fun stuff - here are some of my many favorites from the weekend!
