RECENT WORK FROM ERIN LEE ALLENDER PHOTOGRAPHY.
Sneak Peek Autumn Glow Cedarwood Wedding- Jessica & Justen
A sneak peek of a gorgeous fall Jewish wedding at Cedarwood in Nashville, Tennessee photographed by Erin Lee Allender.
I met Jessica and Justen at Cedarwood's Style Show and instantly loved them. When they walked away from my booth I remember telling my husband how much I hoped they would book me. Well they did and on Friday I finally got to photograph their wedding. Here is a sneak peek of their gorgeous "Autumn Glow" wedding! They had a ceremony with some Jewish wedding traditions (wait until you see the chuppah!) and a stunning fall inspired reception that included the always fun (and always a little scary) Horah. Special thanks to Cedarwood, Designs in Paper, Liberty Party Rental, Patty Cakes, and Chef Christopher.
Family Farm Fall Session
A fall family session that took place on the family's farm in Franklin, Tennessee photographed by Erin Lee Allender.
This past fall I had the privilege of photographing a lovely family session on this family’s property outside of Nashville. The kids totally had my heart. They were the absolute cutest. The photo above was them showing me their monster impression. I love being able to take photos of kids being kids because honestly, is there anything better?
Magnolias & Pumpkins a Fall Wedding at Ruby – Meredith & Dave
Magnolias and pumpkins were the decor for this fall wedding at Ruby in Nashville, Tennessee photographed by Erin Lee Allender.
I ran into Meredith at a birthday and she gave me permission to write a short blog. I told her that I know most people only look at the photos in my blogs and that I write what I do knowing that only the bride and groom are going to read it. Well Meredith and Dave, you were incredible to work with. My second shooter and I kept commenting on how relaxed and sweet you both were. Your families were lovely and your bridesmaids were absolutely hilarious. I love that two incredibly caring people that want to make a difference in the world found each other and that I got to capture the day that they became a family. Congratulations!
Meredith and Dave were married in Nashville, TN at Church of The Redeemer and their reception followed at Ruby. Their florist, Rosebud East, did an incredible job mixing magnolia leaves and white pumpkins together to give an elegant fall look to their reception. Rentals by Liberty Party Rental! Please enjoy their photos!
Fall Hermitage Hotel Wedding – Emily & Stephen
A classic fall wedding at The Hermitage Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee photographed by Erin Lee Allender.
This is Emily & Stephen and this is their fall Hermitage Hotel wedding. Emily & Stephen grew up together outside of Nashville, TN. They went from grade school to high school together but didn’t start dating until they became reacquainted through mutual friends as adults. Stephen proposed at the viewing deck on the Eiffel Tower. What Emily thought was going to just be a photo taken by a fellow tourist, became Stephen on one knee proposing.
Emily and Stephen and their families were amazing to work with. I sincerely loved every minute of it. It was definitely a friends and family affair. Emily’s mom made the cake, A family friend did the floral arrangements, all the siblings and nieces and nephews were included in the wedding party. One of my favorite parts? The little flower girl HAD to have heels. Adorable. There were nods to Stephen’s alma mater UT in some of the colors of the flowers and the groom’s suspenders. As you can see in the photos there was so much joy and laughter all day long. AND they had a Garrett Popcorn bar which, although I'm a bit biased, is the best popcorn ever. Please enjoy the photos!
