Rustic Chic Outdoor Nashville Wedding
Terian Farms – Lebanon, TN
CONGRATULATIONS ALLISON AND AUSTIN!!
Tonight we are featuring Allison and Austin’s beautiful rustic chic outdoor Nashville wedding at Terian Farms.
I received an e-mail from a potential client last year who was looking for a wedding, maternity, and newborn photographer. I seriously thought to myself, ‘is this for real!? this is my dream client!!’ I rapidly responded that I thought that I would be the perfect photographer for her since I am a full-time wedding photographer who also has a side company called Bump and Bonnet – where I specialize in maternity and newborn portraits. We met one evening for coffee in Gallatin where I brought examples of all of my work to show her, and got to learn more about her and Austin. She was barely showing signs of being pregnant, but I could see the light in her eye when she talked about the baby coming and their wedding plans. She knew how blessed she was and knew that she had to have professional photographs of each part of their journey. I couldn’t have been more pleased when she booked me for all three amazing life events. We started with her maternity session, which was the first time I met Austin. His hair was much longer back then. Lol He was so sweet and completely comfortable in front of the camera. There was definitely love in the air that beautiful evening and a fun and playful vibe between them. Allison had the most perfect baby bump – and stayed in such incredible shape! Then baby Millie came… oh my gosh… the sweetest and prettiest little newborn I’ve ever photographed. Austin and Allison were helplessly in love with Millie and even more so with each other. We took family photos and the three of them together just melted my heart. Just a few months ago Allison brought Millie back to my studio for a milestone session around 7 months when she was starting to sit up on her own. Her breathtaking blue eyes and adorable smile seriously gave me baby fever. She was perfect.
Although it seemed as if the family was absolutely perfect, there was one more thing to do. And I COULD NOT WAIT. By this time, I feel like I’m part of the family! Typically, I see my brides in person once or twice before their wedding day. I’m pretty sure Allison and I were together a dozen times over the past 18 months or so. So, we’re close. 😉
Cowboy boots, lace, and white hydrangeas compliment Terian Farms’ barn and the rustic wedding theme perfectly. Allison’s bridesmaids were absolutely stunning and wore light blue and soft pink dresses with their cowboy boots. It was the perfect pairing for this Nashville country chic wedding. Allison was jaw dropping in her lace Maggie Sottero gown and Austin was looking damn good with his handsome haircut, vest, and bowtie (which was the perfect color to accent his gorgeous blue eyes).
First look with her bridemaids!
