champagne pop


For Hunter, sharing a celebratory champagne pop with her bridal party before getting dressed was a cherished moment that set the perfect tone for a joyful day filled with love and laughter.

Bride only portraits


I absolutely adored Hunter's wedding dress, especially the boho sleeves, which added such a unique and effortless charm to her look. Hunter's wedding dress is from The Dress Theory Nashville and portraits were taken behind the getting ready suite at The Hitching Post Ranch.

the groom & bridal party photos


Hunter & Garrett stuck with the traditional approach of only seeing each other for the first time at the altar. So before the ceremony began, I made sure to get some portraits of the groom only and the bridal party. The Hitching Post Ranch has a vast amount of property to work with, especially if you are trying to keep out of sight of each other before the ceremony.
