A BOHEMIAN DREAM WEDDING AT MINT SPRINGS FARM NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE

SPENCER + ALISHA

First off, I want to apologize in advance for the outrageous number of images in this blog post. If you were in my shoes, you would probably have the same problem. You simply CANNOT choose favorites when it comes to this immaculate wedding.

Spencer + Alisha have been together for 10 years. YEAH. I am completely convinced that if you looked up he definition of soulmates, you'd find a picture of Spencer and Alisha probably laughing from their toes and smiling so carefree. They are totally that couple.

This was also the last wedding I shot before giving birth to our third baby boy. Shooting this wedding at 9 months pregnant was a once in a life time experience hahaha.

Alisha is a walking boho goddess, for real. I can attest that she actually looks like that in person. Her contagious laughter and selfless personality makes her even more likable. Spencer adores Alisha in every way. Just listening to him talk about her would warm the coldest of hearts.

We were beyond stoked to be working along side our faves, KLassey Productions and seeing Mint Springs Farm for the first time. That venue did NOT disappoint. Brides, I must tell you, if your planner isn't Sarah Wizz, you need to get a Sarah Wizz. Seriously she made the day sooo completely smooth and relaxed for Alisha and Spencer and we absolutely loved working alongside her and Ally!

Weather played some tricks for us in shooting but it worked out exactly how we needed it to. Hurricane Harvey was making its way through the mid-south when the Donaldson's were betrothed. The chilly winds and downpour rains made this exceptionally intimate and unique since we were limited in space to use. Alisha never once lost her grin even when she was getting rain blown on her during her bridals and letter reading. She was SUCH a trooper and ready to make the most of this Hurricane Harvey weather.

"Hurricane Harvey can't stop US"

I could sit here and ramble about all the inside joke, new friendships and priceless memories that were made on September 01 but I'll just let you see it with your own eyes <3

CONGRATULATIONS MR + MRS DONALDSON

JEREMY + AMANDA MILLER

Where do we even begin with Jeremy and Amanda? We had been waiting what seemed like forever for their wedding day to arrive. Exactly one year ago today, J + A invited us to travel to Eureka Springs with them and witness their union in a beautiful treehouse garden. How could we refuse?! We quickly found lots of common interests during their engagement session at Fall Creek Falls the year prior. Needless to say, they were our kind of people. Netflix bingers, that is ;)

We arrive to their quaint little cabin and instantly fell in love. It was already set for the newlyweds for when they returned from their ceremony later that day which made the perfect getting ready spot. Amanda and I traveled to Dead Swanky for her hair and make up appointment. Yeah the salon was called Dead Swanky..... and it was so freaking adorable. Jacob and Jeremy stayed behind and started getting ready there. We later met them back at the cabin and started getting Amanda ready for their first look.

We were so honored to have spent a few days with Jeremy and Amanda. We had been watching the weather for a week and it kept calling for rain. Immediately we start looking for places to shoot in case we get a downpour and it never once phased Amanda about getting her dress wet. The rain played with our emotions all day but that didn't stop us from driving all over town to find the best spots for their memorable day. Shooting in the rain has probably become one of my new favorite things to do.

Oh and elopements in beautiful places <3

After their ceremony we found a more secluded place for them to read their personal vows to each other and to share their first dance as husband and wife. Did I mention they danced to a bluetooth speaker under colored string lights we found on the side of the road? WELL THEY DID. I might have cried.

Jeremy + Amanda : We cannot thank you enough for giving us the opportunity to witness such a genuine relationship blossom into a everlasting marriage. Our hearts are beyond full from the amazing adventures we had and the unforgettable memories. We wish you many many years of happiness and comfort in knowing you two have found your soul-mates. We are glad to call you both friends! Happy One Year Anniversary, guys. <3
