Goodness, anytime I have the opportunity to shoot at Cheekwood in Nashville Tennessee is an absolute dream come true. It’s one of my favorite locations because of the insanely beautiful landscape that make photos look like they’re straight out of a fairytale. Cheekwood is the perfect backdrop for weddings and I especially have loved the few micro weddings I’ve done there.
Amanda and Daniel are the sweetest couple from the Chicago area. They chose to do a intimate destination wedding at Cheekwood gardens in Nashville, Tennessee with some of their closest friends and family by their side. It was a perfect September day with gorgeous blue skies and warm weather. The ceremony was held in the Wisteria Arbor at Cheekwood which is one of my favorite locations on the property for a ceremony. It is intimate and small and the backdrop is to die for with the beautiful rolling hills of Middle Tennessee.
We did a first look before the ceremony and spent a good amount of time taking portraits of Daniel and Amanda together. Thats my favorite part. I love getting to spend an extended amount of slow time with the bride and groom getting lots of photos of just the two of them. Amandas flowers, hair and makeup were all perfect. She was a vision of beauty!
The dinner and reception was held in the Loggia area which was set up beautifuly by Emily and her team with As We Gather Events. I’ve worked with Emily a few times and it’s always such a joy to be a part of a wedding that she coordinates. The dinner area was absolutely stunning. So intimate and sweet. The catering staff (Dream Catering) did an incredible job with the food and the DJ kept the party going all night long on the patio when they were done eating.
