Melissa & Matthew's Destination Wedding

Even though Melissa and Matthew lived on the East Coast, they knew they wanted to hold their wedding at Matthew’s family farm in Middle TN. Because it would be a destination wedding for them and many of their guests, they knew the wanted it to be simple but also a fun gathering for everyone.

The ceremony was held outside a historic old church owned by a nearby family member. You couldn’t ask for a prettier backdrop.
