June 2, 2017: Megan & Will Simpson
Megan & will were married at the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Jackson, TN. The reception was at The Opera House in Humboldt, TN. From the website, "the Opera House Event Hall is 7,500 square feet of beautiful open space on two stories complete with a gorgeous outdoor courtyard in Downtown Humboldt." It is a beautiful space with exposed brick walls and hardwood floors. The wedding coordinator/planner was Tammy Davis, and she kept everything running smoothly. Casey spent the whole day with Megan and her bridal party. Their hair and makeup was courtesy of Paige McCormick. Megan looked stunning in her dress; it had a deep sweetheart neckline and had a low keyhole in the back. She wore it so well, and her bubbly personality and brilliant smile made her truly a bride to see. Her bridesmaids wore blue-green high-low dresses with tank sleeves and a low-V neckline; this color looked so good on all of them! You can see all of them in Megan's "The Dress" video:
Their love story, as told by Megan:
"Will and I met 5 years ago while both working in the ER. I was very stubborn at first but eventually caved and went on a date with him! From there the story truly unfolds. After a few short months, I secretly knew he was the man of my dreams after he said, 'I love you' for the first time! After many trials and tribulations the perfect proposal occurred November 25, 2016 surrounded by both families who were in on the secret!"
Favorite part of the day:
"My favorite part of our wedding day was the first look! It was a moment I will never forget! Will is not an emotional person, but in that moment, the emotions were so transparent! It was also extremely special having our parents share the moment with us as they watched in the background.
"
The white bouquets with greenery were crafted by J. Kent Freeman. Their caterer was Carolyn Porter of Bradford, TN and the cakes were made by her daughter Tracey Sudzum. Their rentals were provided by M&M Rentals. Their DJ was Wade Evans of Nashville, TN, and he kept the party going all evening. Their photographer was Pure1 Photography; here is a link to previews from the Simpson wedding! And their party bus transportation was provided by Rhino Limo Services. Here is their Intro!
June 3, 2017: Kellie & James Locum
Kellie & James were actually married in beautiful Ireland! They celebrated with a reception with family and friends at the Duck Pond Manor in Sparta, TN, which we were able to film. The website tells a little bit about the history of the building. It was originally known as the England Mansion, and its building process began in 1861! The 5000 sq foot mansion was built using bricks fired in a kiln right in the farm. How cool is that? Tara Ballinger of Duck Pond Manor was the coordinator and helped everything to run so smoothly on their reception day. Let me tell you; Kellie & James were clearly smitten with each other, and everyone really enjoyed celebrating with them. Kellie was glowing, with her pretty white dress from Ready, Set, Grow in Cookeville, TN that was fitted at her waist with a full skirt. It had a sweetheart neckline, but with an illusion neckline with decorative lace down her arms as sleeves. James looked handsome in his grey suit from Kohl's and light pink tie. My favorite part of their wedding? Their ADORABLE puppy that made her way into many shots in the Intro.
Their love story, as told by Kellie:
"James and I met at TTU in the Fall of 2016 in the Tech Grill one afternoon. He sat down at the table I was at and asked me what kind of music I was listening to on my headphones. We've been together ever since."
Favorite part of the day:
"Simply getting to marry the love of my life is definitely the best part of our wedding. Talk about a dream come true to do life with my best friend ."
Wedding invitations were ordered from Minted.com. Tyrone Carver was the DJ, and we always really enjoy his work - great DJ! Barbara Anderson made the traditional fountain cake, which you can admire in the video below as well. Brandi Zeck Photography and Keepsake Photography both captured the day. We have worked with Heather from Keepsake many times, and we consider her a good friend. Brandi was great to work with as well. I'm fond of this Intro because of the happiness that is evident from the day as well as this pretty perfect song. Congrats again you two, and congrats on your new bundle of joy, Cooper!
June 10, 2017: Lindsay & Joey Meredith
Lindsay & Joey were married at Rosewood Chapel and Event Center in Gainesboro, TN. We have filmed at this venue many times, and it is beautiful and perfect. It has indoor and outdoor space, both with so much character! And its event prices are so reasonable for everything that you get! Casey spent the morning with Lindsay and her beautiful bridesmaids. Lindsay wore a gorgeous dress from The White Room in Lebanon, TN. It had a deep sweetheart neckline with a long trained and was embellished and trimmed beautifully. Lindsay was stunning in it! Her bridesmaids wore long burgundy dresses, also from The White Room. Here is Lindsay's "The Dress" video:
Their love story, as told by Lindsay:
"So a short version of mine and Joey's love story. Let's see! We met while we both were in college at tech but actually didn't talk to each other until through social media when Joey was living in Boston for the summer of 2012. We became really great friends for the next year and then became a couple in June of 2013."
Favorite part of the day:
"I had a couple favorites parts. One being that my whole family and his were able to be a part of our wedding. We were so happy and thankful to be surrounded by everyone that we love. Also, I really am glad we decided to wait to see each other until we walked down the aisle."
The tuxes came from City Boy Tuxedos in Cookeville, TN. They had a shuttle provided by Upper Cumberland Shuttle Service. Holes to Go from Nashville, TN were used for the putt putt, which was a big hit. Catering was by Carol's Catering in Gainesboro. The cake was by Tonya Stafford in Gainesboro. DJ was 5 Diamond Productions in Cookeville, TN, who we absolutely love to work with. Zach and Sarah Photography were the photographers; they are one of our favorites to work with. Here is the blog post from the Meredith wedding! It was a beautiful day and a beautiful wedding for a precious couple. Congrats!
