Alex and Tanoa are just fantastic together! They are so easygoing and just fun to be around. Absolutely loved capturing their romantic engagement session at Cumberland Park Amphitheater in the heart of Downtown Nashville. 

The waterfront was such a perfect location for their engagement session, as even the colors tied in perfectly with their outfits. :) 

Would you just take a look at that gorgeous engagement ring!? So looking forward to capturing their special wedding day this fall. 

These two are simply the best!!! So enjoyed their romantic shoot on this cloudy, yet dramatic day. :) Such a treat to have them in from London!! 

Aren't these two simply amazing!? It was so special to find these streets which very much reminded me of the romantic cobblestone streets of Rome, Italy. I told them next time they have a destination anniversary trip to definitely take me with them. ;)   

They have been married for 4 years and still act like newly weds. :) It's so sweet!!! 

Couples that laugh and dance together... stay together. :) 

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,
