I had the pleasure of working at the wedding of Emily and Jerrod.  They were just the happiest couple, always smiling and laughing.

Their wedding was a gathering of family while showing their favorite thing - Tennessee orange.  They had their grand entrance to Rocky Top.

Great Art Gallery Wedding - Congrats Zea and Chris
Chris and Zea were inspired by peacock feathers for their wedding.  They used those colors in everything from the custom invitation to the bridesmaids dresses to the centerpieces and beyond.  They also used feathers randomly throughout.









The ceremony and reception was help in the Rymer Gallery downtown Nashville.


The table centerpieces were vintage blue and green vases the bride collected.


The cake was inspired by their favorite piece of artwork.  Instead of a groom's cake, they had cookie bars and milk shooters.

Congrats Kristen and Dustin
Kristen and Dustin were married on a beautiful day in downtown Nashville.  The ceremony was held at the Downtown Presbyterian Church, which contains both Egytian Revival architecture and decor.

At the end of the ceremony, the bagpiper let the guests around the corner and down the few blocks to the reception on Broadway.  Truly, a memorable moment.

The reception was held at the rooftop venue, Aerial overlooking the city.  The Groom is a member of the band,
Queens Boulevard, and during the reception the band performed a few songs for the bride and the guests.
