Cory & Kelsey: Nashville, Tn Wedding

I’m excited to post the full slideshow of Cory & Kelsey’s gorgeous winter wedding. The ceremony took place in front of family and friends at a beautifully decorated Eastland Baptist Church. Kelsey looked absolutely stunning in her bridal gown against the deep red and gold hues of the sanctuary. After a moving ceremony performed by Cory’s uncle, the couple and their guests enjoyed gourmet southern fare at the Bluegrass Yacht & Country Club. The food was fantastic, with the three cheese mac-n-cheese, corn pudding & green beans being my favorites! It can be challenging to distinguish a winter wedding from Christmas, but Kelsey and Cory added several touches (courtesy of designers Becca Hall & Carly Kiggins) that made their wedding unique. My favorite two things? The Christmas trees decorated with black & white pics of the bride & groom’s history and the table numbers displaying pictures of the bride & groom at different ages. The night ended with lots of dancing, many pictures around the Christmas trees & of course, singing “Rocky Top!”

Cory & Kelsey – it was so great to get to know you and be a part of your wedding day. It’s easy to see why you are so beloved as individuals and as a couple. Congratulations & may God richly bless your new life together.

Sincerely,
Shannon

Congrats to Jeff and Heidi, who recently gave birth to their twin boys! I’ve been excited to post their maternity session, shot in 94 degree Tennessee heat!! Many thanks to the very talented Becca Hall for set design and styling. We had fun creating a cafe setting with a vintage ice cream table in my backyard -complete with blueberries and Pellagrino. For it being so hot, I think Heidi looks amazing!

Grant & Katie: Birmingham, AL Wedding

In honor of Anthropologie’s new wedding line and some much needed warm weather, I wanted to post one of my favorite spring weddings. I love everything about this wedding! Katie is a super talented designer with Abilena Studio and it totally showed! The theme focused on birds and birdcages and they were everywhere, from the guestbook table, to the favors, to the antique altar. There were vintage tablecloths, a vintage inspired dress and Grant’s antique family truck. Katie designed all of the jewelry and her sister (a talented Seattle florist), Alexa designed all of the flowers. And did I mention that the bridesmaids dresses were from Anthropologie – beautiful! The result was a gorgeous southern vintage palette that was full of style and brilliant colors. Here are some of my favorites!
