Franklin & Lana had one amazing wedding! Their Jewish ceremony was held last week at the Temple Ohabai Shalom & their reception was held at the Gordon Jewish Community Center -both in Nashville, TN. Close friends & family gathered around Franklin & Lana when they signed their Ketubba (a Jewish marriage document which was hand-made for them), then moved on to the official ceremony in the next room.
Both families were so vivacious & so much fun! They made us feel so welcome & so loved like we were part of the family! We really enjoyed meeting the Parghs & Sorins; & thank you all for letting us share this beautiful wedding!

We were so excited to shoot Josh & Laura’s wedding because they were SUCH a fun couple & Laura is an awesome wedding planner!
Those two things = one amazing wedding!
Laura looked absolutely gorgeous in her gown & nobody but her mother had seen her in her dress until the day of the wedding. Josh rocked out his pin striped suit with his blond spiky hair; & had created the greatest groom & groomsmen’s entrance we have ever seen! Seriously, guys, people will be talking about it for years! Josh’s groomsmen entered into Scarritt Bennett stomping & clapping to a very classy “We Will Rock You.”
Their reception followed at Gaylord Springs, & this was just full of fun moments & many surprises: Josh surprised Laura with a “special song” that he wrote for her, Laura surprised everyone with her size 14 sneakers, & all the wedding guests had an awesome time dancing the night away!
We want to give a special shout out to Mark & Noelle of McCoy Made because this was our first time shooting with them & they were awesome; & we want to say thanks to the coordinator Courtney Hammons because she did a beautiful job & even voluntarily worked on her birthday!
We’re going to have a few more video clips to share with you from from this wedding that are sooo funny! Until then, enjoy Josh & Laura’s wedding teaser below.

Adam & Stephanie, the sister of our good friend & wedding planner Emily of Simply Yours Weddings & Events, were married a few weeks ago at Central Baptist Church in Knoxville, TN. Without giving too much away, Stephanie was the third woman to wear her wedding dress; & you can read more about it on Emily’s blog. Their wedding centered around tradition, family, & the Legacy of Stephanie’s wedding dress; & because this dress was so important to so many women (especially Stephanie), we made this beautiful tradition the theme of the teaser.
Adam, Stephanie, & both of their families were very welcoming & we truly enjoyed spending this most special weekend with them all!

Congratulations, you two!

Jason & Katie had a beautiful ceremony at the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Nashville, TN. It was a hot, Hot day, but Jason & Katie stayed cool & gorgeous throughout! The night started with a cocktail hour at the Hermitage Hotel‘s foyer, then things really heated up once the reception started in The Grand Ballroom. Dining, much dancing, a short Same Day Edit we provided, & a few viewable images of the day from Gray Photography were just a few great things that happened during this reception! Every thing went so well, thanks to great families, vendors, & especially to Mary Natalie Hester! We really enjoyed sharing this most special time with you all. Thank you guys, enjoy the video!!
