August Weddings 2017

August 19, 2017: Hannah & Chandler Fahrner
Hannah & Chandler were married at the Alpine Christ Church Presbyterian in Alpine, TN, and the reception was held at The Clark House in Livingston, TN. This little church in Alpine is small but beautiful and intimate. The Clark House is, again, one of our favorite venues to film at in general. It has beautiful indoor and outdoor options, but what really puts it over the top is its floral and catering options. Mitchell White designs the floral arrangements and décor. The Fahrner wedding had touches of Disney charm worked into it, and  Hannah looked like a princess in her wedding dress. It had sparkly straps with a deep V neckline and a full skirt. Her bridesmaids wore long light pink dresses with silver design on them. All of the dresses were from Hello Honey, and they all carried gorgeous white and deep red bouquets by Mitchell. Their make-up was done by FACES and hair by Manhattan Salon, both in Cookeville, TN. The guys classy tuxes were from CityBoy Tuxedos.


Their love story, as told by Hannah:
       "Chandler and I met in the spring of 2015. I was participating in the Disney College Program and he was one of my leaders at my work location. We quickly became friends while working together and after four months when I left to go home we stayed in touch. We got to know one another through phone calls and Facetime for three months before we saw one another again. Our entire dating relationship has been long distance and has hard as that was we know it made us stronger for the future. We tried to see each other about once a month and after one year of dating Chandler asked me to marry him, and I said yes! A year of planning for the wedding, finishing my senior year of college, and packing to move 10 hours away went by so quickly. Our day was perfect, everything we had ever imagined."

Favorite part of the day:
       "Chandler's favorite part of the day was by far the firework send off. It was only appropriate that we end our day with Disney Fireworks to tie up our Disney Reception. Mine was the live band! The entire reception was set with a fun loving mood with the band that just kept the party going. On a collective note though, we both agree that our foot washing during the Ceremony was the most humbling and memorable part of our day. It was the perfect way to set ourselves up for success for our forever. To serve one another selflessly."

The couple's rings came from Cumberland Gold Jewelry. The beautiful Disney inspired cakes were crafted by the House of Frosting. The fun photo booth was by 5 Diamond Productions, whom we love working with. The photographer was Marissa Sorrell Photography, and the Fahrner pictures are gorgeous! And Kerri Apple was the coordinator and made the day go so smoothly. Here is their Intro!








August 26, 2017: Shea & Nick Wilson
Shea & Nick were married at the Saltbox Inn in Cookeville, TN. We LOVE the Saltbox and have filmed there many times; it's never disappointed! I have known both Shea & Nick for several years; I graduated from high school with Nick. I was so excited when they contacted us about filming, because it's always just a little more special when you know the couple. Shea was stunning in her strapless, lace-covered, fitted gown, surrounded by her bridesmaids in long taupe dresses. The guys wore handsome grey tuxes, rented from CityBoy Tuxedos in Cookeville. It was a great day for a wedding, and Shea & Nick seem to have so much fun together.


Their love story, as told by Shea:
       "Well that one is pretty comical..me and Nick had known each other in high school, but I laugh back now when I tell him "I would have never dated you when we were in high school" but now look at us! He had asked me out on date, which I accepted just thinking it would be a free dinner and that would be all that would ever come from it. He said I was very cold-hearted on our first date. He thinks I made him take me somewhere out of Cookeville so that no one would see us together (which was not the case, I just wanted to go somewhere different). On the date I told him that I was not looking to date anyone, and he laughed it off and said "Okay, we will see." We started to hang out with some of our friends together and then went out a few more dates, when one night I was leaving the house, and my mom started hounding me with 100 questions about where I was going and who I had been hanging out with. I told her, "Mom, it is nothing serious right now, IF it becomes something more, then I will tell you." When I had walked out of the door, and she immediately ran upstairs into our attic and grabbed my old yearbook out of a box and started flipping through it. She had always worked in the school system so she pretty much knew history of everyone, with me only answering 3 of her questions she was able to figure out who I was with just by looking through the photos. The only things I had told her was "Yes we went to high school together", "he is 1 year older than me", "and yes, he has 2 older brothers", she made it all the way in the back to the W's when she slammed the book shut and grabbed her phone and text me "IT BETTER NOT BE NICK WILSON!!!" I never replied back to her text, but she fell in love with him as much as I did after we had him over for family dinner. We had dated 1 year and 9 months before he asked me to marry him on Christmas morning (which was not his plan at all but he said he couldn't hold on to it anymore). I have been eating all of my words ever since, never say never!"

Favorite part of the day:
       "Nick and I both agree that our all time favorite part was our first look moment we shared together. Then, a close second favorite would be the reception and just having all of our favorite people that we love all in one place together to celebrate with us."

We got to work with Kerri Apple for this wedding as well! The photographer was Casey Mackie Photography. Cupcakes were from Lorie Wright at LaLa's Cupcakes in Sparta, TN. Landon with Cosmo Creations was the DJ, and they provided the photobooth as well. Beer was provided by Calfkiller Brewery in Sparta, TN, and the delicious catering was from Grade-A-Catering. The two were married by a close friend, Chris Howard.





July Weddings 2017

July 2, 2017: Melissa & Will Meyer 
Melissa & Will were married at Howe Farms in Georgetown, TN. It was our first time filming at this venue, but we enjoyed it so much. Everyone was easy to work with, and it was GORGEOUS. The website states that the venue is "nestled in lush, rolling hills just outside Chattanooga and minutes from Cleveland. More than 120 acres of natural, breathtaking beauty are complemented by wide open fields, stunning barns, plentiful orchards, tranquil lake views, and panoramic vistas. Ranging from sophisticated to casual elegance, Howe Farms offers a complete package for the perfect setting on your special day." Melissa was a charming bride, and the love between she and her family members was so heart-warming, only matched by the love between her and Will. Melissa wore a lace dress with a deep sweetheart neckline, a low back, and a long lace train. Her bridesmaids wore long navy dresses, and the men wore dark grey suits. We worked with Camellia and her girls from CAMfetti, and they made the wedding day run SO smoothly! They were both so kind, organized, and fun. We would love to work with them again. We also worked with Sara from Sara Kristen Photography, who is both a sweetheart and a beast behind the camera. Her photos from this wedding are so pretty. And the DJ was DJ Scuba Steve who we have worked with several times before. Not only does he play great music, but he interacts with guests and really makes it a great party. We loved this wedding and wish both Melissa & Will all the best!







July 22, 2017: Chrissie & Adam Perry
Chrissie & Adam were married at The Cathedral of the Incarnation in Nashville, TN and had their reception at Loveless Cafe. The chapel was beautiful, and we always love filming at the Loveless barn. They used the Loveless planner, Melissa Dodson and said that she was awesome to work with! Chrissie wore such a pretty dress with a fitted waist and a lace neckline. Adam wore a handsome navy tux, and they looked so happy on their wedding day.

Their love story, as told by Chrissie:
       "Adam and I attended the same high school but were just acquaintances. We ran into each other after college when one of my college roommates married one if his friends from our hometown. He asked me to dance at the wedding and we started dating shortly after! 2 years later he asked me to marry him! "

Favorite part of the day:
       "Our favorite part of our wedding day was our first dance!"

Hello Trolley provided transportation. Wedding invitations were ordered from Minted.comNashville Sweets made the pretty, nearly naked, yummy cake, which is featured on the video thumbnail. Caprice Palmer from The Enchanted Florists made the gorgeous bouquets. Choice DJs kept the party going. Sarah Sidwell Photography was fabulous and captured the day perfectly - here is a link to the Perry wedding!
