This GORGEOUS couple is amazing!!! I had so much fun creating these beautiful wedding pictures for them. They actually married back in India and recently moved to the states but wanted a more  Americanized look for their wedding photos, so that's exactly what we did! 

Check out this stunning 2nd outfit look!!! Perfect for their anniversary engagement shoot at Centennial Park! Look at how dreamy their 2nd outfit was! 

The Parthenon in Nashville was the perfect place to shoot for a classic romantic shoot. :)

Wow, Meadow is absolutely stunning inside and out. Her wedding preparation photos were a dream. And she looked gorgeous, like a regal princess straight out of a castle in Iceland!! 

Also, look out, Nashville, this lady's coming for you... she's an incredible musician and artist and writes her own heartfelt music. You can check out some of her music HERE

Elizabeth is currently pursuing a career in nursing... and you can bet she's gonna be one of the best out there!

I just love the rustic/ambient feel of this coffee shop. Always on the lookout for fun new spots in town and this one was definitely a hit! 

This candid lifestyle portrait shoot was so fun to do. Special thank you to the Coffeehouse in Franklin, an amazing local business. If you want wonderful hot drinks in the heart of downtown Franklin, you should definitely check it out! 

I absolutely love indoor portrait sessions!! So much fun! 

Hope you enjoyed. :) 

Love and Light,

Gorgeous golden sunsets, dreamy rustic fields? This shoot with Sydni for her graduation senior portraits was an absolute dream! She looked like a model straight out of a magazine. 

This Franklin High School Class of 2017 Graduate made my job the easiest. Sydni is so easygoing and was so fun to work with!! 

These photos were shot in an open field in Franklin, TN, about 25 minutes south of downtown Nashville. 

Eleanor Roosevelt once elegantly said these moving words that truly resonate with Sydni's passion to follow her dreams in her desires after high school graduation. 

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

— Eleanor Roosevelt

Bennett's session was an absolute blast! This Class of 2017 Brentwood High School graduate has a bright future ahead of him!

Bennett just recently received his Eagle Scout award. Not only is brilliant but he is also persistent and dedicated having pursued this achievement! 

This family so dear to my heart, and I am absolutely thrilled with how theses photos came out. Shot on a beautifully cloudy day in Biel (Bienne) Switzerland near Lac Bienne. 

The Swiss landscape never ceases to amaze me. The gorgeous lakes rippling the reflections of the magisterial Swiss Alps in the background are breathtaking. However, nothing fills me with more joy than capturing love and the people that make the scenery all the more beautiful. 

This sweet little one month old baby girl is absolutely gorgeous. Although, my dream is to shoot Swiss weddings... or a romantic dreamy wedding in the Swiss Alps one day, I am completely satisfied capturing newborn life.

Would you just look at those beautiful eyes. She's absolutely adorable!!

Love is one of the greatest gifts we can give to our children. Love and nurturing... there's no bond as special and as unique as a love of a mother for her daughter or son. What an absolute blessing it was to freeze in time these special family moments. 

Traveling is one of my greatest joys in life, so this trip to Switzerland was absolutely over the top! I love when my work brings me to different nations. 

Wow, these two were such a blast to work with. Kishore decided to surprise his newly wed wife with a 1 year anniversary photoshoot in Brentwood Park Marcella Vivrette to commemorate their first year together. Isn't that absolutely precious? 

We shot this anniversary shoot at the golden hour at dusk at the Marcella Vivrette (Smith Park) in Brentwood, Tennessee in late July (half way between Franklin and Nashville). The location was absolutely perfect because we had plenty of gorgeous fields to shoot through as well as a perfect line of trees in the back. 

I always love finding out interesting facts about my clients, and found out that these two were originally both from India. Being half Indian myself, I immediately felt a connection on another level as we were able to talk about the culture, food, and traditions.  We decided to shoot with two different outfits: one formal look as well as a casual, natural look to diversify the looks. 

Their chemistry was so adorable and beautiful, it almost felt as if we were shooting their engagement photos! So natural and fun together. 

Albert Einstein once cleverly wrote, "You can't blame gravity for falling in love." While that statement has some truth to it, this beautiful couple had so much love and joy. 

"Let us always meet each other with smile, for smile is the beginning of love." - Mother Teresa. I absolutely love this quote because, many wedding, engagement, and anniversary shoots later, I have found this statement to ring true. The couples that express the greatest amount of love and affection are the couples that laugh and smile.

Hope you enjoy viewing these photos as much as I enjoyed capturing these precious moments. 

Misty was an absolute delight to work with. This beautiful woman is an inspiration to me in more ways than one. We created this photoshoot to commemorate her 9 extensive month fitness journey culminating with a fitness model competition. 

Paleo eating, gluten free, dairy free, clean eats and working out 2 times a day 6 days a week. That takes motivation strength in more ways than one.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson professional wrestler and actor, couldn't have said it better himself, "If something stand between you and your success, move it. Never be denied." That's precisely what Misty did. I am privileged to capture Misty in this beautiful way, with sunshine, ethereal dresses, and with bohemian floral headbands. 

I am privileged to capture Misty in this beautiful way, with sunshine, ethereal dresses, and a bohemian floral headbands. What a dreamy, magical portrait photoshoot this was shot in Franklin, Tennessee at the wonderful Harlinsdale Farm. 

Ah, words cannot express how lovely this family is and how happy I am with how these family photos turned out!! 

Shot on a beautiful cloudy day in the Appenzell region of Switzerland outside this absolutely adorable tea room! From our view we could see perfectly green rolling hills framed by the Swiss Alps in the distance.

This photoshoot was the perfect combination of both modern and yet rustic styles and the most beautiful people! 

It was truly a delight capturing the Adams family. What a gorgeous, rustic shoot in Franklin, TN on an overcast day. And these two adorable girls.... ah you just want to squeeze them! :) 

We had quite a windy day... but, don't worry! The "windblown look" is in style. ;) Nothing like a beautiful outdoor family photoshoot. 

Princess Diana said it quite well, "Family is the most important thing in the world."  

I'm absolutely in love with the photo of this daddy and his girls. Every daughter desires to be loved and cherished by her father, and this photo encapsulate so much love. 

Sisters. Sisters can truly be the greatest friends in the world. These two precious sisters did so well posing... well actually being natural for the camera... I asked them to smile and they naturally and instantly embraced each other. So sweet!! 

Look at those pretty smiles. Family portraits are the best!!! 

Giggles & laughs. Smiles & hugs. A precious memory forever frozen still in time. These are the reasons why I, as a portrait photographer, am in love with my job and the privilege to meet such incredible families like the Adams. 

I hope you enjoyed these photos as much as I enjoyed creating them & please subscribe to my blog so you don't miss the next post!

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, 

Emily Anne

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!
