i just loved nicole and eric's wedding!  it was such a happy and sweet event.  it was full of family and full of love.  i have had the opportunity this year to shoot a lot of weddings of couples who have been together for a long time, and there is just something so fun about seeing these two people who know each other so well, love each other so much, finally get married. 

eric "bedazzled" nicole's.  does it get much cutter than that?  i think not.

now on to part two of ashley and matthew's nashville wedding!  as i said before, i have known the reeds' for a few years through doing young life at webb (where all the reed kids went) and also, caroline (matthew's sister) is one of my best friend's, best friend's....does that make sense?!?  anyway!  all that to say, it has been really fun getting to know ashley through the whole wedding process as well.  she is so fun, so laid back, and super easy to get along with.  there is one thing that ashley and i definitely have in common.  we both LOVE our dogs! :) as i mentioned in the rehearsal dinner post, they had dog themed table assignments, and olivia is ashley's dog.  i have always loved pugs, so for me, meeting olivia at ashley and matthew's engagement session was pretty much love at first sight.  and she did not dissapoint the day of the wedding while getting ready.  she was hilarious!  she definitely knew something was going on, and she did not know what to think about it!

the past few weeks have been crazy and have totally flown by!  i can't believe how long it has been since i have blogged an actual wedding!  this past june had to be one of the hottest months that i can remember.  i had a bunch of outdoor weddings and receptions, which i LOVE, but it was really really hot!  a few weeks ago i shot a wedding weekend in nashville at a couple of my favorite places!  the rehearsal dinner took place at the belle meade plantation.  it was such a great place for a cocktail and dinner party!  i have known matthew and the reed family for a while now through young life, so i was so excited when ashley asked me to shoot their wedding!  the weekend was full of so many great details and it all started at the rehearsal dinner.

i absolutely LOVED this idea for place cards.  each table was named after a different family dog, along with it's sillouette.  how cute is that?!?!

the day has finally come!  it is national release day for the dirty guv'nahs new album "youth is in our blood."  you absolutely need to buy this cd TODAY!  and while you are at it, you should probably just go ahead and buy tickets to their show at the bijou theatre here.  the show is september 24th and it is pretty much going to be awesome!

i cannot even tell you how much i loved this wedding.  from the dress, to the details, to the location......oh, how i LOVED this location.  and the light.  oh, i just loved it all!!  brenna and her family worked so hard on this wedding, and as you are getting ready to see, it paid off!!  they did EVERYTHING themselves!  the flowers, the beautiful centerpieces, the detail.  i was just so impressed.  not to mention, i LOVE brenna and her whole family.  they just took me in and made me feel right at home the whole day.  anyway, on to the photos!

brenna and the girls started out getting ready at her parents house.  i just thought that this was the perfect window for a dress shot.  i love back lighting a lace dress so you can see all the beautiful detail.
