Happy Friday, everyone!

Today is a beautiful day to share some favorites from Amanda & Ryan’s gorgeous and classic Scarritt Bennett and Riverwood Mansion wedding last weekend! Amanda and Ryan met during their freshman year at Vanderbilt, and the area around campus has always held a special place in their hearts–especially Scarritt Bennett. Amanda always dreamed of being married there, but knew their availability was limited. One year before the wedding after a walk around campus, they found themselves outside the chapel and Ryan dropped down to one knee, with her grandmother’s ring in hand, and asked if she would marry him there on June 11, 2016. Amanda found out that Ryan, knowing how important it was to her, had already booked a date for them! How romantic is that?! These two love spending time together, and had such a great time with all their friends and family on their wedding day. There were so many special moments with family, and a lot of fun had on the dance floor!
On to some of our favorites from the day!
