Waterfall Engagement Session | Nashville, Tennessee Photographer

September 6, 2017 | 3 Comments

Janessa and I go way back – all the way back to 2008. We’ve truly been friends since the moment we first met. So when she started talking about her dream of having engagement photos at a waterfall, I couldn’t help but jump in with suggestions. It’s no secret that Tennessee has some of the most beautiful waterfalls around!

After extensive research, we settled on Carmac Falls at Evins Mill (please note this is private property and you will need to contact the linked venue 24 hours in advance for permission to access the falls). The waterfall is gorgeous and the lure of having basically a private waterfall (for a fee, of course) was too good to pass down. Of course, there was a bit of hike to get to the falls. I, for one, was not prepared for how physically demanding that hike would be (…or maybe I’m just out of shape.)

Cierra & Remus: Forestry Engagement Part 3

January 26, 2017

In Part 1 of this Autumn Engagement session, Cierra and Remus were photographed in a golden field. In Part 2, our engaged couple found a scenic backdrop on a gravel path. Part 3, which happens to be this post, may be my favorite location I’ve ever found. Finding it at all was a happy accident!

While driving through the Morgan-Monroe forestry, looking for the path, we found ourselves driving around what I think is Lake Lemon. There were lots of little houses across from or backing up to this lake. In front of one house, across the road, we spotted a crooked little dock. There wasn’t much to it, but it was just perfect for what we needed!

I had packed in the trunk of the car a few items, including a step stool (I’m short) and a green, plaid blanket. I bought this blanket for my parents during my time in Peru – it’s made from alpaca wool! The green palette of the blanket was stunning against the blue-green of the lake. I wrapped Cierra and Remus in the blanket together (with no complaints) and started snapping away!

Cierra & Remus: Forestry Engagement Part 1

January 16, 2017 | Leave a Comment

A laughing couple lean in towards each other in a golden field in this fall engagement photo.

On Thanksgiving morning, while many people were preparing meals or sleeping in, I was busy doing what I love: taking photos! We drove out to the Morgan-Monroe forestry bright and early. (Really it was pretty overcast…so maybe not bright, just kind of early). We began taking photos on some steps by one of the lakes located in the forestry. The steps were covered with the recent foliage, fallen onto the ground. It was fall, ya’ll! Or more eloquently, Autumn.

Here are two of my favorite photos from our first spot, wooden steps covered with leaves:

A couple sitting on outdoor-steps in the Morgan-Monroe Forestry.
A couple laughing on outdoor-steps in the Morgan-Monroe Forestry.

We didn’t spend much time at this spot because I had another spot in mind and I wasn’t sure how to get to it. It’s always an adventure with me!

I actually want to show you our end photos first (backwards, I know), because my favorite location ended up being the first one we happened upon. I LOVE this set too though! On our way out of the forestry, we found these *perfect* weeds in a *perfect* field and stopped for some last photos.
