Megan + Joe | Smyrna, Tennessee

YAY! So happy to blog this next Spring wedding! As always, better late than never. This one was recently published in Nashville Lifestyle Weddings Magazine! Megan and her bridesmaids graced the cover of the magazine and I am so happy for them! This beautiful bridal party deserved it. I am going to share just a few highlights below, as their wedding will also be featured on Snippet and Ink soon. Can't wait!
Megan and Joe wed at the stunning Bloomsbury Farms. I can't say enough about this property and family. Venue owner, Lauren, is beyond easy to work with. She is the most gracious hostess I have met to date, wedding or not. Her property has beauty in every nook and cranny, it is where they live, work, love… and it shows. It made for the perfect backdrop for Megan and Joe's classic wedding style with southern flare. 
Despite the 100% chance of rain, chandelier shattering, high winds, transportation failure x 2… the day was as gorgeous as ever. Literally blue skies above the rolling hills at the farm and a cool breeze in the crisp air (we got lucky with the winds holding off until later in the night). Their team of vendors rolled with the punches, making it such a wonderful event. I was so thankful to be there and apart of their day. Austin Gros was a subtle machine (ha) capturing every detail and moment so quickly and perfectly but also being as laid-back as they come. It was a pleasure to work with every vendor and watch this stunning wedding come to life! (All vendors listed at end of post)

Love reliving this joyful day! I have known the bride and groom for years (we all attended HS together... and yes, they are high school sweethearts!) so it was so amazing to reconnect and see where their relationship has taken them. They are so happy together + and I loved getting to know their friends and family. Especially the bride's beautiful mom and sister, who feel like own family! Can't wait to see where 2016 takes them.
XOXO

Nashville Adventures

Last Fall flew by and I was lucky enough to visit Nashville not once, but twice! My first trip was absolutely so fun. I met an April bride and groom there with their family to knock out a few big wedding details! Megan and Joe (bride and groom) are too fun, we laughed the whole time while they narrowed their menu options, cake, etc. We met with the lovely Amanda Gros for Megan's bridal hair and makeup trial and she knocked it out of the park. Megan was stunning! I can't wait to see her all done up on the big day. They also showed me around Nashville, Vanderbilt (Megan's Alma Mater) and Franklin! So many lovely places but none quite as beautiful as their wedding venue! :) I'll spare their wedding details for now as we lock in their final details and get prepared for the BIG day… It's going to be an amazing one.
I went back to Nashville shortly after with friend and photographer, Jennifer Pharr. We had a blast road-tripping our way up there for the Pursue Workshop and then shot a little styled bridal session that packed a ton of SASS. I am still blown away by Nashville's hospitality and sweet locals. I reached out to a few talented vendors who graciously came to the gorgeous Bloomsbury Farm to make magic with us! They made the whole shoot extra special for us.

Love these photos from Austin Gros so so much. Shades of blue have never looked so good. I am beyond giddy to head back to the Cordelle in Nashville for SEE Sessions with Jessica Sloane in February and then back to Bloomsbury in April for one heck of a wedding. You can see more from our styled shoot at the farm on Wedding Sparrow in a few weeks, and in my portfolio.
