Heyburn & Jessica Delight Guests with a Campfire, Cupcakes & Lattes at their Houston Station Wedding
Friday, April 26, 2013
Jessica and Heyburn hosted their wedding ceremony and reception at Houston Station. Their wedding is certainly Pinterest worthy but it wasn't born from Pinterest wedding. Instead, this is a wedding of a bride and groom who look inside for inspiration - from hosting a campsite to not even having true wedding colors. Design was tasteful and sophisticated but was second to the overall experience. They wanted to make sure their day encompassed what they love as a couple - favorite cupcakes, DJs, and a venue that spoke to their values.

Ninety-nine percent of the time, our wedding stories are told from the bride's perspective, or that of the wedding planner. Today we're in luck! Kimberly and Jason came together to tell us about their Nashville Zoo wedding and boy am I happy they did. What a team!

Modern Meets Vintage at Chris and Dawn’s Traditional, Low-Key BBQ Wedding
Friday, April 5, 2013
You may remember Chris and Dawn's wedding from our mix-gender bridal party feature a few weeks ago. Their selection of their bridal party based on relationships versus tradition really stood out. As Dawn put it, we..."didn't want to limit ourselves to people who are all the same sex. Those are the people we wanted behind us as we said our vows."

A DIY Bride’s Classic Scarritt Bennett Ceremony Followed by Intimate, Aerial Rooftop Reception
Friday, March 29, 2013
Hillary of Your Day of Fairy Tales has a knack for attracting creative do-it-yourself (DIY) brides who are smart enough to know that they can't DIY their planning! Take Whitney and Matt's wedding. Whitney DIY'ed many of her design details but left the heavy lifting on her wedding day to Hillary. She didn't want to work at her wedding day nor lean on the help of her family or friends. The result was a day that everyone could sit back and enjoy.

Kelley & Denard’s Vibrant, Countryside Wedding at Front Porch Farms, Photographed by The Collection
Friday, March 22, 2013
It's been over a year since The Collection first featured Kelley and Denard's wedding on their blog. But, their wedding was so memorable that it remains a favorite. I'll admit, I'm a sucker for their color palette of red and turquoise. No matter how many times I see it, when it's done well, as their was, it blows me away. While an unlikely match up, the red and blue are a perfect complement! The colors popped against the beautiful, natural backdrop of their countryside wedding venue, Front Porch Farms. And it helps that all of the wonderful details and vibrance were meticulously captured by The Collection.

Jordan and Jay Host Their Impressive, $5000, Do-It-Yourself Wedding in their Nashville Backyard
Friday, February 15, 2013
I'm absolutely amazed at how much creative, focused people can achieve when they plan weddings. Take Jordan and Jay. Their wedding was $5000 but it could easily pass for 5xs that budget. They knew what they wanted, what they valued. Then, they splurged on photography and a planner, asked for help and DIY'ed what they could.
No matter what your budget - be it $5k or $100k, you want to spend your money wisely while ensuring your day reflects what you value.

Josh + Alyssa Wed at Franklin’s Trinity View Farm; Party at Recently Renovated One @ Cannery Row
Friday, December 21, 2012
Recently, we featured the new brand of Nyk and Cali, Wedding Photographers, you can view that blog here and now you can see one of the weddings they shot this year! I was drawn to Josh and Alyssa's wedding on their blog partly because they are lovely and quite obviously in love, but I also like their venue! It's new to me and gorgeous. The "barn" looks like it could be transported and live happily in France or Italy, while still fitting perfectly into the Tennessee countryside.

Friday, December 14, 2012
Some brides hire their photographer because they love their style or they fit their wedding budget. To Shannon, who married Blaine in July, those things obviously mattered. But what was most important was that she hire a photographer who was professional with a calm demeanor. "She understood all the elements of stress that can go into a wedding day and she wanted to work with a photographer who was creative while also helping the day run smoothly without added anxiety."

Lucy and Corey were married in May of this year in Tinley Park, Illinois, which is outside of Chicago.

I reached out to Joon to learn a bit more about how a Nashville photographer ended up in a Chicago suburb photographing a multicultural wedding. Here's what Joon had to say...
