When Jessie contacted me to document her downtown Nashville War Memorial engagement session, I couldn’t have been more excited. I absolutely love photographing engagement sessions in downtown Nashville, but there’s just something beautiful about War Memorial and the are surrounding the State Capitol building.
It’s dreamy, historic feel is perfect for timeless, romantic engagement photos. And we were so lucky that the February weather cooperated with us for their engagement session! These two were so much fun to be around, and I immediately could see their deep love for one another. Jessie is friends with another HOP engagement couple…remember Josh & Katie’s Surprise Downtown Nashville Proposal? Jessie and Katie were sorority sisters! I adore connections between clients of mine.
Jessie & Chantry first met over six years ago! After years together and long distance dating, Chantry decided it was time to make it official. And then he planned the most perfect NYC proposal this past December (in Bryant Park’s Christmas Village after grabbing some macrons!) I mean, come on! Does it get any dreamier than that?
I just know these two will continue to create incredible memories together as they plan their perfect 2021 spring wedding! Congratulations, Jessie & Chantry!

There are some love stories you feel lucky to witness from the very beginning — and Gabby and Miles are exactly that kind of story for me. I had the joy of hiding among the vines to capture the moment Miles got down on one knee, and now, months later, I found myself standing on […]

October engagement photos at Cheekwood Estate & Gardens — Nashville, Tennessee There’s something about October at Cheekwood that feels almost cinematic. The light goes golden earlier, the gardens shift into their rich autumn palette, and the whole estate takes on this quiet, unhurried magic — which made it the absolute perfect backdrop for Jon and […]

There are venues that feel like backdrops, and then there are venues that feel like characters in the story. The Estate at Cherokee Dock is the latter — a place so layered with beauty that every turn of the grounds offered something new, something unexpected, something made entirely for photographs. — Rachael Knaak, Harp & […]

Some places hold more than memories — they hold the beginning of everything. For Ethan and Veronica, that place was Vanderbilt University.
