Just the dreamiest sun filled happiest engagement portrait session of Brian & Sue Ann on the iconic Pedestrian Bridge in Nashville, TN.

It’s all in the details- look at the sequence of her gorgeous outfit - the wardrobe selection was perfect and look at that beautiful engagement diamond.

Sue Ann competed for Ms. North Carolina pageant and am absolutely not surprised. She is stunning inside and out. Brian, you are one blessed man. :)

We danced our way through this session with our own personal band serenading us right on the riverfront. What a fun birthday surprise for Brian!

Model couple, much?! This downtown location was the PERFECT location for these couple photos.

I don’t think there’s much sweeter than forehead kisses.

Brian & Sue Ann are just out of a movie. Absolutely adored this downtown nashville photoshoot.

This couple is just wonderful. Needless to say, I had such  blast working with them and capturing their joyous celebration their announcement of a lifelong commitment to one another!!

This setup was one of my most favorites. In the past, clients have talked about bringing props, but none have gone as far to create this rustic, charming picnic set for a romantic, dreamy look! 

They are so hilarious. I absolutely love how Ross makes Lauren laugh all the time. :) 

They are so adorable together... I love how Ross makes Lauren laugh all the time. Having fun while shooting is what it's all about!! :) And the titles of the books were so perfect.

To get this shot, I basically laid in the grass to get an earthy, close & artsy look... and I love how it turned out. 

SO beautiful. Look at that gorgeous engagement ring!! 

These antique books were absolutely perfect!! I mean best LOVE poems... come on. :) 

I love the way she looks at him. ;) 

And here is that adorable picnic setting. Can't get enough of this look. 

Even the picnic blanket was a special family quilt, which makes the memory all the more worth treasuring. 

The golden wisps of sunlight in the back of this image literally makes me SO happy!!! Wow, they are one good looking couple. :) 

"It's one of life's greatest treasures... to love and to be loved in return." 

I think this quote pretty much encapsulates these photos: "It's one of life's greatest treasures... to love and to be loved in return." 

Just the perfect amount of blur in the background and the right amount of love. 

They could really both be part-time models, haha! :) 

One of my favorite shots. Surrounded by nature. 

And of course we must have the beautiful artistic look. 

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." 

"Who is that coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved?" Songs of Solomon 8:5

I love the verse on Songs of Solomon talking about Solomon's wife leaning up on him, which is a mirror image of when we fully trust Jesus, we are able to find rest, peace and protection, and that's what I am reminded of when I look at this image of Lauren. 

Smiles, smiles & more smiles. 

And for another look, I LOVED this rusted iron shed. The blue tones look so good on their skin. 

Nothin' like a nice floppy hat... Lauren pulled it off so well, haha! 

Marcella Vivrette Smith Park in Brentwood was such a lovely location to capture this amazing couple. 

The balloons, the symmetry of the barn, this beautiful couple... I love this shot! 

I'm not on the fence about how this image turned out. They both have a light in their eyes that is irreplaceable. 

I hope you have enjoyed these photos of this beautiful couple as much as I've enjoyed shooting & sharing. 

Love & Light Forever,

Where do words begin to describe this stunning bride. When we first started dreaming up this shoot, I envisioned a high fashion, retro, modern yet classic style of shooting... photos that make Courtney look timeless and elegant, just as she is. I couldn't be more pleased with the result. The photo shoot took place in Marathon Village and stylist assistant Callie McKinney did a fabulous job making our bride look incredible. 

This bridal photo shoot took place in Marathon Village and Courtney is truly one of the most radiant, gorgeous (inside and out) brides I have ever seen. The exquisite beauty captured and photographed on the outside only mirrors the gems within.

Courtney is truly one of the most radiant, gorgeous (inside and out) brides I have ever seen. The exquisite beauty captured and photographed on the outside only mirrors the gems within. She is a full time missionary and musician in downtown Nashville with the non-profit organization Provision International and is incredible at what she does. 

These images filled with rich light and color make my heart so happy. Doesn't this stunning model look like she came out of a Vogue magazine? This artistic, abstract photograph is so ethereal and dreamy... as if she was dreaming about her special wedding day, yet resting in the peace of the here and now.

This bridal portrait session was more like a glamour photography session and she might as well be a high fashion model for Vogue. :) 

The creamy tone and stunning pattern and style of her wedding dress were well suited for this downtown Nashville venue on Clinton Street. 

Roses are red, violets are blue...Rustic wooden backgrounds and joyful expressions make for a lovely shot. 

Look at this beautiful bride's wedding and engagement ring... the yellow gold and diamonds perfectly suit her... Her fiancé at the time sure picked a perfect ring for the perfect bride to be. 

The windblown look is enchanting on Courtney! 

Thank you for taking the time to view Emily Anne Photography's blog... I hope you enjoyed the photos as much as I enjoyed creating them. Please feel free to share this post with your family and friends. Until next time! 

Light & Color,
