On a beautiful, early summer day in June, Maddie and Jay said ‘I do’ in a romantic, intimate Franklin, TN wedding. Surrounded by immediate family, Maddie walked down the aisle in a stunning, classic Essence of Australia gown. Jay, beaming with tears in his eyes, couldn’t contain his excitement. The love surrounding the two of them was beautiful to behold. And after their ceremony, they celebrated with their families on Jay’s family’s farmland.
As intimate weddings and elopements are becoming more popular, and Maddie & Jay’s romantic early summer Franklin, TN wedding was nothing short of breathtaking. Since COVID restrictions caused them to reimagine their original wedding plans, their wedding was much smaller, but still so meaningful. Beaming parents and siblings, uncles and aunts and grandparents doted on the couple the entire evening…and I don’t think Maddie could stop smiling the entire day! Plus, can I just say how much I am loving getting extra time for couples portraits with my couples? And holy moly I love how gorgeous theirs are! Their Franklin, TN wedding party happening in the backdrop made for the perfect way to document their portraits.
When wedding plans changed, Maddie said her only wish was to just be married. And at the end of the day, whether a large fete or small celebration, the most important part are the promises made. And that is absolutely beautiful.
