When you think of Nashville engagement photography, what comes to mind?  Two young people in love, farms, fields, fences, horses, boots, and a gorgeous sunset sky.  Correct.  And that is exactly what is in store for you below as I feature Amber and Brian’s engagement photos.

I haven’t known Amber or Brian for very long at all.  They came across my photos on Facebook and TheKnot, and my shooting and editing style perfectly matched what they were looking for.  Nothing excites me more than when a potential client inquires with me and they know for certain that my work is a perfect fit for their wedding.  Once we talked over the phone, it was obvious that our personalities were also a great match.  Fast forward a few weeks, and we are at the Paradise Ranch & Retreat in Springfield, Tennessee for their engagement session.  Paradise Ranch is truly a Tennessee paradise.  They have around 100 acres of gorgeous rolling hills, horse pastures, barns, ponds, and creeks.  They also have a fabulous new wedding venue that has everything you’d want for an outdoor/rustic wedding in a beautiful country setting, but what sets them apart is that they have an indoor event space – fully heated or air conditioned!  BINGO! Jackpot! Winning!

We had the most perfect weather in January (67 and sunny – I LOVE Tennessee).  See for yourselves how amazing Amber and Brian are together.  They laugh and smile like it’s their job.  I’m so lucky to be able to work with couples like them.  I get to see real true love and excitement for the future in such a raw and personal environment, while capturing it so that it lives on forever.  Friends and family can enjoy these moments today and their grandkids will also enjoy these family treasures to keep their memory alive.

Their wedding is in October at the Five Star Retreat – it’s going to be incredible.
