Vegan Tortilla Soup Recipe

I was planning on making this recipe a couple weeks when it was freezing cold, but life and work got in the way and I made it today and it's close to 90 out. This is nowhere near as pretty as anything that I photographed this past weekend at Food and Wine, but it still tasted pretty dang good. It's really garlicky which I love.. just make sure that you eat it on a day when you're not planning to be around people for several hours. Also don't burn your parchment paper like I did while crisping up your tortilla. Thanks to Running on Real food for creating this recipe. It really was delicious.  Get "The Best Vegan Tortilla Soup Recipe" Here.

Sneak Peek Thursday Elopement at The Hermitage - Cara & Ron

Congratulations to Cara and Ron who last night after 16 years of being together, eloped and were married at The Hermitage Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. The bride and groom and two of their longest friends flew in from Florida for the weekend to have a private wedding ceremony at The Hermitage Hotel. I was fortunate enough to be one of the few people there! I instantly knew that I liked Cara when we spoke over the phone (she's a crazy dog lover like me) and I was so excited to be able to capture such an intimate and special event. We took a few photographs around town and then the couple and their longtime friends had dinner at the Capitol Grille to celebrate. Here is a sneak peek of their images. And yes, Ron's bowtie is made out of turkey feathers. He's a turkey hunter and they were from one of his conquests.
