Y’all! When I first noticed that they were calling for rain on this lovely couple’s wedding day, my heart dropped! I just did NOT want it to rain on Mary Pat and Joey’s wedding!! I absolutely love outdoor wedding ceremonies and wanted so badly for them to have their outdoor fall wedding they had been planning for so long. I prayed for days that the rain would go away or at least wait until after the ceremony! When I woke up every morning, the first thing I would do…check the extended forecast for the week. I’m definitely my father’s daughter in that way! The morning of the wedding, still calling for rain! UGH!!! I fully prepared to crunch the timeline and get as much as I could before the rain and storms moved in. I was going to move as fast as possible! I had talked with Mary Pat about it over the phone and she was just so calm and had such a great go-with-the-flow attitude. That’s one of the many reasons I loved having her as a wedding client! When an outdoor wedding is looking like it is going to be rained out, you would think that the bride would be stressed, emotional, and cranky. This was just not the case for Mary Pat!

Can you believe that it never really came a downpour on us?! We did get sprinkled on and at the end of the ceremony, it became a light rain. I think we would all say that we feel blessed that it never actually stormed on us like the forecast was predicting. I truly love the images that we were able to create…even with me rushing the timeline a little to make sure we got as much as we could if it did decide to rain.

Their grey, blush, and burgundy wedding color palette makes my photographer heart swoon. Their wedding colors complimented the trees that were just starting to change for fall and their daughter’s flower girl dress was just the prettiest little dress I’ve seen! Did I mention yet that their daughter is just the CUTEST little girl!! Just wait until you see the photo of her twirling in her dress! Speaking of photos….I’m sure you want to see them now instead of reading my rambling.

You’ve been warned…there are a ton of wedding photos below this point!

we started out the wedding day at michael’s father’s house in nashville.  his home was absolutely stunning and it was the perfect location to capture the getting ready, bridal party, and first look images.  the ceremony and reception took place at Events @ 1418 and it was sooooo gorgeous and the staff was amazing to work with!

allie and michael were such a joy to work with from start to finish. i absolutely loved their engagement session images that we were able to capture in downtown nashville and now i can’t wait for them to see all of their wedding images.
