Westfalia Farms

I was so excited when my friends at Westfalia Farms welcomed me back for another photo session to show off their beautiful location and take some updated family + staff photos. It seems like it was just a few weeks ago we did this session, but it was actually quite a while ago. Since then, they have added even more amenities and beautiful landscaping, so if you think this venue is lovely in these pictures, be sure to check out their Facebook/Instagram feed to see all their amazing updates. I’ve loved following their journey as they’ve opened this wedding and event venue and am so happy to see it blossom and succeed! If you are looking for a venue for your upcoming business retreat or celebration, be sure to check them out. You’d be in very good hands with Westfalia!

Becky + Eric, Winter Wedding

The one thing you can expect with this Tennessee weather is that there really is no predicting it— you can only rely on a forecast so much! And the day of Eric and Becky’s wedding was no exception. Storms blew through that morning, giving way to a steady rain that lasted past noon. Then we had a little break in the rain for an hour or two, and just as we were getting comfortable, the strong winds came back and brought a cold chill to the air and more raindrops.

But we could not have been working with a better bride and groom for this crazy weather day! Through all the uncertainty and changing of plans, Becky and Eric had smiles on their faces and joy in their hearts. They met each little setback with cheerfulness and didn’t let anything put a damper on this special day. I’m sure there is a metaphor in there for marriage and love and such, and it is one that would describe these two and their relationship well. I have a feeling no matter what this crazy, unpredictable life throws at them, at the end of the day they will be walking hand-in-hand and happy to be by each others’ sides.

Becky and Eric, thank you so much for letting us be a part of your sweet, sweet day! It was such a joy working with you all! May you have many beautiful, sunny days ahead of you.

Becky & Eric are from Paris, TN, so a little Eiffel Tower made its way into some of their details. :)

I love all the special, personal touches that were incorporated into this wedding! Eric is a sergeant at the police department, so Becky had this garter custom made just for him.

This first look with her mom was one of my favorite moments of the day!

Though I love a good blush-toned bouquet, these jewel tones just speak to my heart! Perfect for their winter wedding!

Becky’s brother was on her side— we love a “Man of Honor”!

The chapel at Waddell Place makes a gorgeous ceremony backdrop!

The Sanner Family

Bless this momma’s heart, we tried to get this session done for about a year, and between weather and changing schedules, we had to reschedule a few times. We finally got it done though, and I was so happy they didn’t give up on me. :) It was a little chilly the morning we did the pictures, so I worked quickly to get the kiddos back inside in the warm heat, but they did great and gave us some big smiles! Such a sweet little crew, and definitely worth all the scheduling (and rescheduling!)
