Amy + Mitch / Cathedral of Incarnation Wedding and Reception

I met Amy and Mitch last year when they booked their wedding, and did their engagement shoot! They are the sweetest couple, and I knew after working with them for their engagement shoot that we would have a great time with them on their wedding day. Amy and her bridesmaids were the prettiest group of girls, it was impossible to take a bad photo of them! I loved their matching robes that they got ready in, and their dresses were all stunning. Mitch and the guys were a lot of fun as well! Mitch isn't a huge fan of photos, (like my husband, LOL) but he was a great sport and tried to have a good time while we were doing formal photos :) :)

They had the most beautiful day. Cathedral of Incarnation hands down is one of the most intricate, beautiful sanctuaries in Tennessee. I'm always in awe of all of the beautiful details whenever I walk into the cathedral. Amy and Mitch chose not to see each other before the ceremony, and I loved the moment when Mitch first saw Amy start walking down the aisle. There weren't many dry eyes in the entire crowd.

Amy and Mitch, thank you for letting us be a part of your day! We hope you love the photos! :)

Briana + Josh / Cathedral of Incarnation Wedding + War Memorial Reception

Classy, beautiful, elite, and timeless are the words that immediately come to mind when I think of Briana and Josh's wedding day. After preparations at Omni Hotel downtown Nashville, they headed over to Cathedral of Incarnation for an afternoon Catholic ceremony. Cathedral is hands down the most ornate, beautiful church in Nashville. Briana is a classic beauty, and looked stunning in her Casablanca gown. I loved the regal colors they chose, shades of royal blue, powder blue, green and silvers looked amazing together.

After the ceremony, we headed to Vanderbilt (where they both went to school) for some bridal party photos, and then we headed to War Memorial to start their cocktail hour and reception. Their elegant cocktail hour showcased some of Briana's heritage with a fun mariachi band that everyone danced to... while sipping their drinks and enjoying hors d'oeuvres in the outdoor courtyard. Loved that!

The reception was breathtaking. A giant crystal chandelier hung above all of the perfectly adorned silver and blue tables, while dinner was hand served to all guests. One Night Band, a band hired to come in from Chicago, put on an amazing show and everyone had a great time! They finished out the night with a sparkler send off, and left in a vintage white Rolls Royce.

Briana and Josh, we wish you a lifetime of love and happiness! We loved spending the day with you two. Congratulations!!!
