Wedding Date: June 16th 2025

As a photographer, I’ve had the joy of traveling far and wide for weddings and events, but anytime I get to head down to Tennessee, especially the Nashville area, it feels like coming home. I have a deep love for this part of the country and good friends nearby, so capturing a wedding like this one was an absolute gift.

Madelyn and Jeremy shared their first look tucked quietly at the edge of the forest. It was private, peaceful, and filled with love. You could see the nerves melt away as soon as they locked eyes. The wedding party brought such a joyful energy, and I loved how each bridesmaid wore a different dress in the same soft powder blue. It made the portraits pop in the prettiest way. We had fun exploring the grounds with the whole crew before the ceremony, laughing and soaking in the warm Tennessee sun.

They were married outside in the garden, surrounded by golden light and the hum of summer. The moment they walked back up the aisle, officially married, they were beaming. It’s the kind of happiness that’s contagious. Afterward, we took some time just the three of us. I always treasure this part of the day, when everything slows down and the couple can breathe, reflect, and let it all sink in. We wandered country roads, found a quiet creek, walked under trees thick with green, and watched as the sky turned into a watercolor of pinks and purples. Nashville gave us one of those sunsets you don’t forget.

Back at the reception, the laughter didn’t stop. Madelyn and Jeremy played the shoe game and had everyone absolutely howling. The toasts were sweet, the dance floor was packed, and during their first dance they serenaded which was pure magic. After the parent dances, the energy kicked into high gear as they were lifted into the air and everyone joined in the celebration.

They ended the night hand-in-hand, walking through a tunnel of cheering loved ones holding sparklers. It was the kind of send-off that makes your heart ache in the best way.

Madelyn and Jeremy, thank you for bringing me along to document such a joyful, heartfelt, and unforgettable day. Your love is electric and this was one for the books.
