Samantha and Reece’s Bell Tower Wedding in downtown Nashville

Meet the couple

This beautiful couple met serendipitously through their friends on a weekend trip to Nashville. They immediately hit it off and never looked back. They’ve been together for five adventure-filled years and decided it’s about time to tie the knot. For the proposal, Reece took Samantha back to where their love story began for a weekend at Opryland resort for a Valentine’s Day getaway. At the end of a romantic dinner, he popped the question, and of course she responded with an emphatic, “Yes!”. During their five years together, their relationship has grown stronger than some after a lifetime – he has already been deployed four times. They’ve experienced the highest highs and lowest lows together. Their special kind of love is inspirational, and their bond is unbreakable.

One of my favorite things about their relationship is that they find happiness in the simple things. A perfect evening for them would include grabbing some sushi, watching Brooklyn 99, and playing cards or board games together.

A Bell Tower Wedding in Nashville

A Bell Tower wedding is a wonderful option for a couple wishing to celebrate in downtown Nashville. The Bell Tower is simple, elegant, and centrally located to everything in the downtown lower Broadway vicinity. We very easily traveled by Uber to the Nashville pedestrian bridge and Cumberland Park to photograph their wedding party portraits. It’s always an iconic location with a breathtaking backdrop. The Bell Tower is also walking distance to lower Broadway, so your guests can continue the party when the reception ends.

I couldn’t be happier for these two, and I can’t wait to see what their future holds.

Thanks for trusting me to capture your special day, Samantha and Reece!!
