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!
If you’re still searching for your Nashville engagement photographer, contact me and let’s chat!
