Kate & Matt :: Green and Beautiful :: Nashville Wedding Photography

I feel like it’s been years since I posted a wedding feature to the blog. It feels good to be sharing more photos with you since all in my life has been chaos the last few months. I do promise, a personal post will be coming soon. In the meantime, Kate & Matt are up and I am excited to tell you about their day! Amelia and I shot their gorgeous September wedding and it was sooo much fun!

Kate & Matt had a beautiful wedding at Historic Cedarwood. The day was cloudy, but you wouldn’t notice it with the love of friends and family and the amazing details that graced the grounds of Cedarwood. Kate & Matt also made every effort to have a green wedding. From recycled paper and organically grown herbs, flowers and gorgeous arrangements with eggplant and grapes. There were recycling bins located all over Cedarwood to encourage guests to reuse their bottles and paper items. I’m telling you….the staff at Cedarwood made certain the details were spot on!

The laughter of the girls was contagious. They are Kate’s closest friends and family. Kate was so laid back and nothing seemed to stress her as she prepared to see Matt for the first time.

Before the ceremony, Kate & Matt had their first look. She was barefoot, jumped the creek and waded through the woods without a care for whether her dress would show dirt or water. We WERE careful, but she and Matt were sooo much fun to have a picture adventure with!

It’s a blessing to have this many friends who love you….

Kate really loved the antique red truck at Cedarwood. It was one of her favorite things about the property (and mine too!)

I absolutely loved the set-up of the cake cutting for this wedding. The cake was seated on a piece of tree trunk and it was a great way to keep everything feeling really organic without losing any beauty of the design. God really is the best designer and gives us everything we need without having to make it pretty ourselves.

Kate and Matt, is was a joy serving you and your families. You are a beautiful couple and I wish you many years of happiness and God’s blessings on your life! Enjoy your slideshow – with music provided by Julianna Zobrist!
