Same-Sex Wedding at Sycamore Farms in Nashville | Allison & Bryn Sneak Peek

A heartfelt sneak peek of Allison & Bryn’s same-sex wedding at Sycamore Farms in Arrington, TN. Emotional vows, a romantic first look, and a breathtaking chandelier-lit first dance captured from above.

Allison and Bryn’s wedding at The Barn at Sycamore Farms in Arrington, TN—just outside of Nashville—was nothing short of magical. This same-sex wedding celebration was filled with heartfelt emotion, powerful vows, and unforgettable moments.

Allison looked stunning in a lace bridal gown with puff sleeves, while Bryn, looking equally as gorgeous, wore an effortlessly chic all-white jumpsuit. Their first look was tender and emotional, setting the tone for the day.

When they read their private vows, all of us photographing them cried right along with their guests. They called each other “soulmates,” and it couldn’t have been more true. Their love is radiant, and their joy in finding one another is contagious.

One of my favorite moments was their first dance. I climbed up to the loft to capture the scene from above, and it took my breath away. With a crystal chandelier and soft white draping overhead, Allison and Bryn moved together while family and friends looked on with quiet admiration. From that vantage point, I could see the entire room wrapped in love and support—it was the kind of moment that reminds me why I do what I do.

Over the past year, I’ve had the joy of getting to know Allison and Bryn, and photographing their wedding day felt like celebrating two dear friends. I truly love this couple, and I’m so honored they trusted me to capture the beginning of their marriage.

This sneak peek is only the beginning—there’s so much more to come from Allison and Bryn’s LGBTQ+ wedding at Sycamore Farms.

Same-Sex Engagement Session in East Nashville Greenhouse & Shelby Bottoms Park | Allison & Bryn

Bryn and Allison’s early April engagement session in East Nashville featured a greenhouse and Shelby Bottoms Park, golden hour light, and custom rings. Nashville same-sex and LGBTQ+ wedding photography.

Bryn and Allison’s engagement session in early April was full of joy, laughter, and so many special details. They each proposed to one another—yes, separately—which made their story even more memorable. Both are wearing custom rings by Consider the Wildflowers, adding meaningful and personal touches to their photos.

We explored two East Nashville locations: East Nashville Greenhouse with bright, airy spaces and the open paths of Shelby Bottoms Park. The session was timed for golden hour, giving the early spring light a warm, glowing quality.

Documenting this engagement feels especially exciting because I’ll be photographing their wedding next week! Bryn and Allison’s connection, playfulness, and care for each other shine through in every image.

I photograph weddings and engagement sessions for LGBTQ+ couples in Nashville, celebrating every love story with respect, care, and joy. My goal is to capture authentic, meaningful moments for all couples, creating images that reflect your love, personality, and celebration—without judgment or discrimination.
