Nashville gives us so many beautiful backdrops, from skyline views and historic architecture to golden fields and quiet parks. Your session should feel relaxed, connected, and true to your story.

When to Schedule Your Session
Engagement photos can be taken any time during your planning process. Most couples choose a date eight to twelve months before the wedding so they have plenty of time for save-the-dates and website updates.
Choose the right season
Plan for ideal lighting
Consider your wedding timeline
Build in flexibility
Nashville offers beautiful light year-round. Spring brings soft greens, late summer offers warm golden tones, fall gives rich color, and winter offers clean and quiet backdrops.
The best time for photos is usually the first two hours after sunrise or the last two hours before sunset. I help you select the perfect time based on your location and the look you want.
If you need photos for your invitations or save-the-dates, schedule your session early so you have plenty of time for printing.
Weather can shift quickly in Tennessee. Keeping one backup date in mind helps your session feel stress-free.
If you are unsure about the best season or timing, I guide you through every decision so your session feels natural and beautifully lit.
What to Wear for Your Engagement Session
Keep it simple and neutral
Avoid heavy patterns
Plan two outfits
Choose pieces that move well
Dress for the location
Soft tones, light textures, and clean colors always look timeless. Neutrals help the focus stay on the two of you.
Bold prints or busy patterns can distract in photos. Solid colors or subtle textures photograph best in Nashville’s natural light.
Most couples bring one elevated look and one casual look. It gives you variety without changing the energy of the session.
Flowy dresses, soft layers, and breathable fabrics create natural motion, which photographs beautifully.
Your outfit should complement the backdrop. I help you choose options that fit your chosen Nashville location and the season.
How Engagement Photos Complete Your Wedding Story
Engagement sessions give you more than beautiful photos. They create space for the two of you to slow down, connect, and enjoy this season together. Many couples tell me this is one of their favorite parts of the entire wedding experience.
You get comfortable in front of the camera
You capture this chapter of your story
You have photos for save-the-dates and décor
You build trust with your photographer
By the time the wedding day arrives, you already know how I work and what feels natural, which makes your portraits smooth and stress-free.
Engagement photos reflect real life, not just the wedding day. They show your connection in a relaxed, everyday way.
Your images can be used for invitations, wedding websites, guest books, and displays on your big day.
Working together before the wedding helps your day flow naturally so your portraits feel effortless and authentic.
