Is there anything more perfect than a laid back fall wedding?! So pumped today to share some more of our favorite images from Dani and Chris’s fall destination wedding at The Cordelle back in September! September in Nashville can have tricky weather sometimes, but we ended up with the most beautiful sunny, no humidity day, which was amazing!

Dani and Chris travelled to Nashville from their home in NYC for their wedding. What I love about these two is how chill they are together, and how much they wanted their wedding to reflect that. Their jobs are pretty high stress, so when they aren’t working, they are all about hanging out with each other (and their cat!), and exploring the city. They wanted their wedding to have somewhat of a relaxed backyard feel, so The Cordelle was the perfect venue (especially with the addition of cornhole–featuring the alma maters Vandy and UCLA–during cocktail hour!). They had an incredibly sweet and intimate ceremony on the lawn, officiated by Dani’s brother, and then had the best time partying the night away with their closest friends and family (and, of course, donuts!). It was so sweet to watch them at several points during the reception as they were just in their own world, over the moon about finally being married!

Keep scrolling for more of our favorites from the day!

BEHIND THE LENS

A note from Jen

Purpose and passion and the lessons of over 17 years of weddings...

I'm writing this today staring out at the bright blue Colorado sky, near Boulder, CO where I live with my husband of nearly 17 years and our 8 year old son. We moved here to chase the mountains and adventure and a life fully lived, after over a decade in Nashville, TN. 

It might seem silly to say that I believe part of my purpose here on this earth is creating photos at people’s weddings. But here’s the thing. Life is absolutely going to life. There are going to be days and seasons that are freaking hard and awful and the world feels like it’s burning down (literally, metaphorically, in all the ways). And there are going to be days full of so much love and joy and bliss and peace that you wish you could just bottle it up for all time.

And I feel so strongly that that’s WHY a wedding matters. And why your photos matter. And why making it so intentional and purposeful to you matters. To create the space to intentionally create beautiful new memories together. Because it’s a weekend to say that this love (yes, all love) and these people (yes, all people) MATTER. It exists. It is real. And it’s worth celebrating the f*** out of. In a radical defiance of everything telling us to be scared and wall up our hearts.



And it’s worth documenting. My purpose in this is to be present with what’s there on your wedding day—all the joy, love, and whatever else is showing up—and creating the record of it. A record of what is true to you. So that when the days hit hard, you can point back at this anchor of joy and love, and know that it exists. It is real. It is worth celebrating.

Sending all the love, wherever this journey of life is meeting you today. xoxo, Jen
