franklin, tennessee wedding by joy marie | autumn + kyle | nashville wedding photographer

Autumn & Kyle are incredibly unique and beautiful people! This is perhaps the most laid back couple I have ever photographed. They exchanged vows in the quaint King’s Chapel in Franklin, Tennessee. Autumn walked down the aisle barefoot to bluegrass music strumming in the background. Love that! This happened to be a VERY special wedding for us because Kyle’s mom, Karen, is a very big part of our lives. Karen, aka “Ms. Karen” is a dear family friend who helps us with our boys during this very busy time in our lives. If you happen to be a working mom, you know the immensity of this role. Ms. Karen is the true definition of a Godsend, and we couldn’t imagine our lives now without her! We have tremendous love for Karen and her husband, Jack, and they’ve truly become family to us.

That being said, shooting this wedding sort of felt like when I photographed by brother’s wedding eight years ago. Just a joy to be around such special people. Both Autumn and Kyle come from amazing families, and this wedding was really a result of the creative collaboration of those closest to them. All of the decorations, flowers, bouquets, corsages, centerpieces, etc. were made by Autumn’s parents and five siblings. Even the food was catered by her cousins. They all did a fantastic job! It’s weddings like these that are a great reminder of what this special occasion is really all about. It was an amazing and beautiful day, and I feel blessed to be the one who captured it. Congratulations, Autumn and Kyle!

nashville b’nai mitzvah by joy marie | matthew + ian | the temple + hutton hotel

On the rare occasion that my schedule permits me to shoot something besides weddings, I love having the opportunity to work with special people like The Jacobs Family! I had the privilege of connecting with them for the Nashville B’nai Mitzvah of first cousins, Matthew & Ian, both such INCREDIBLE kids!! These two amazing families are so kind, gracious and know how to throw a spectacular party! The ceremony was held at The Temple, followed by the celebration at The Hutton Hotel. I’m pretty sure this was Nashville’s Mitzvah of the Year! Mazel Tov, Camp Jacobs, for allowing me to be a part of such a fun & special day! Be sure to check out the slideshow too!

A big thanks to coordinator extraordinaire, Jayne Bubis, for doing such a wonderful job putting this event together, and Goldie Shepard for catering such an AMAZING feast. It’s always a pleasure to work with both of you!

nashville bar mitzvah by joy marie | brandon | hillwood country club

It’s not often that I get the opportunity to photograph a Nashville Bar Mitzvah, so it was a special treat to be a part of Brandon’s big day.  The ceremony was held at The Temple, followed by a rockin’ celebration at Hillwood Country Club! Thanks, Levy Family, for being such a great family to work with, and allowing me to take part in such a special occasion! Mazel Tov!
