Takesha & Shawn {Nashville Elopement Photographer}

March 28, 2018 Kaitlyn Holeman

I recently had a wonderful time capturing another elopement in Nashville, this time for Takesha and Shawn!

They had the sweetest elopement at Ellington Agricultural Center, which was officiated by Elope in Nashville. These two lovebirds wanted this celebration of their marriage to be just the two of them. They had a great time spending the weekend in Nashville at the Opryland Hotel after their ceremony.

I loved working with them, and they were both so kind and fun to be around! Although this elopement was animal-free, they do have two boxers at home that they plan to bring from Indiana to Nashville next time they visit -- and I can't wait!

There are so many reasons why I love elopements, especially ones like Jesse and Cody's recent elopement at the Riverwood Mansion! These two lovebirds came from Springfield, MO with a few of their closest friends and family to celebrate their marriage.

The Riverwood Mansion is a beautiful place to say your vows, and Sue with Elope in Nashville created a lovely elopement ceremony inside the mansion for Jesse and Cody.

After taking photos there, we headed into downtown, which was their first time in downtown Nashville! Although they don't have any pups yet, they were certainly checking out every dog we passed in town -- so I won't be surprised if one joins their family in the future!

They also had a fun Friday the 13th invite and wedding ring case, so it's even more fitting to share it on Halloween! And just wait until you see her gorgeous hair which Cody did herself with the help of a friend!

Thank you, Jesse and Cody, for giving me the opportunity to capture such a special day for you.

Amy & Jay's at home surprise wedding! {Nashville Wedding Photographer}

February 6, 2014 Mandy2

I did a sneak preview of Amy & Jay's wedding a few months ago, but really wanted to do a full blog post from the day. I can't tell you how much fun this wedding was and how different from any other wedding I've ever photographed. First, most of the guests didn't know it was a wedding at all! They all met at a local restaurant (Mo'Cara) where friends and family thought they were celebrating Amy's birthday.

Then in walks the groom (who was supposed to be out of town) and the couple announces that the group will be heading back to their house for the couple's wedding! And what a sweet, intimate wedding it was. The ceremony was officiated by Amy's dad, with ring bearer Andy the pup hanging out in the isle getting petted by everyone he walked by. It was such a meaningful ceremony and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Plus, the bride wore a fabulous black dress (as well as all the bridesmaids) and teal heals - how great is that!

I loved meeting and working with this great group of people - they made me feel SO welcomed!

Enjoy!
