When Michelle contacted me to schedule a combined engagement and family photo session, I was so excited to meet her and her fiance, Chase. The two of them have been together for over 6 years and are parents to a 12 year old girl and 1-year-old boy. I hadn’t done an Ashland City, Tennessee engagement photography session, but it did not disappoint!
First, we had scheduled to have their Ashland City engagement photography session at Bicentennial Park in Ashland City, TN just outside of Nashville. Once we arrived, I realized the light wasn’t going to be ideal and immediately began chasing the golden hour light (as I often do). I found a little field just a couple of miles down the road that was perfect. This sweet family followed my lead, and we captured this gorgeous Nashville, Tennessee golden light engagement session.
They were troopers and ventured just off the main road in a field full of purple and yellow wildflowers. Golden hour light was hitting just perfectly and I got to know this beautiful love story, how Chase asked Michelle to marry him (finally!) on a Wednesday. And how they’re planning their dream beach wedding for next July. The love between them was so evident, as was the love between their two children.
I am so excited to share more from this family’s Ashland City engagement photography session. Thank you, Michelle and Chase for trusting me to document this time in your lives!

Garrett’s proposal to Alexandra was the latter. A Florida Couple, […]

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.
