Still looking for your Nashville engagement or wedding photographer? Let’s chat!
PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
Easily the most iconic spot for engagement sessions in Nashville is the Pedestrian Bridge. With it’s view of the skyline, this is such a perfect ‘Nashville’ location for your session! While it does have it’s own challenges (hello people everywhere) I absolutely had to include this one! Plus, below the bridge provides beautiful arched architecture for portraits, too!
CENTENNIAL PARK
Centennial Park engagement sessions offer couples so many varying looks! With the iconic Parthenon, tall columns give beautiful architecture for portraits. The pond gives me the feeling of Central Park here in Nashville. And I can’t forget the beautifully blooming gardens in spring and summer!
WAR MEMORIAL
Easily my favorite spot for couples to choose for their engagement session is at War Memorial. What’s not to love about the statuesque and luxe feel of this place? From the tall columns to the green trees surrounding, the light filters in beautifully. This iconic Nashville landmark is often a spot my couples choose.
ARRINGTON VINEYARDS
An Arrington Vineyard engagement session or proposal is also a top spot in my book! I know I say that about so many, but I often photograph proposals at Arrington Vineyards…and for good reason! From the beautiful views to the rows and rows of grapevines, the light here is simply majestic.
PERCY WARNER STATE PARK
Percy Warner Park engagement sessions offer so much variety! Of course, the iconic Percy Warner ailee steps are probably the first thing that come to your mind. But did you know that there are other spots within the park that offer gorgeous options for engagement sessions? Plus, fall engagement sessions at Percy Warner are hands down some of my favorite!
DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE – SKYLINE
A Nashville engagement session post wouldn’t be complete without including the Nashville skyline! This ever-changing skyline is always a favorite of mine. This gives a true and authentic downtown Nashville feel.
LONG HUNTER STATE PARK
Just stepping a little outside of Nashville and you’ll find the gorgeous Long Hunter State Park. With gorgeous lake views, beautiful fields, and glowy light, I love how versatile this location is! Couples choosing a Long Hunter State Park engagement session love the water and being outdoors. And whether in spring or fall, it’s always beautiful!
Ellington Agriculture Center
An engagement session at Ellington Agriculture Center is truly a hidden gem! I absolutely love how gorgeous this spot is, and the options it provides for different looks!
