Cheekwood Garden Party Wedding - Kate and Jack
Kate and Jack’s Cheekwood garden party wedding photographed in Nashville, TN. Make sure to check out their seating chart that was actually a table of plants!
If you love a bright English garden party look, you are going to love this one. Kate and Jack (not of LOST or Titanic fame) were married this summer at the Cheekwood Botanical Garden in Nashville, TN. I don’t know if I have ever met a groom more excited to marry his bride. I think he would have run down the aisle to her if he was allowed to.
Kate and Jack met while studying biochemistry at Vanderbilt and are they are both currently studying medicine. I can’t imagine two people more destined for the jobs that they will have. Kindness and compassion flows from them. They are more than an excellent match and anyone that knows them is better for it.
We started the day off at Kate’s house for getting ready photographs. A family home is my favorite getting ready location. There is something about a grown adult standing in their wedding attire in the home that they grew up in that really gets me. The wedding party was made up of exclusively family so the whole day family was front and center.
Cheekwood was gorgeous as always and Kate’s dress really popped there. Wait until you see the back of her gown. Their garden party wedding decor and colors were incredible. I don’t think I’ve ever liked a seating chart so much. The table numbers and guest names were all painted onto terra-cotta pots that were filled with bright flowers!
I hope you enjoy some of my favorite photographs of Kate and Jack’s Cheekwood garden party wedding. Vendors are listed below!

Golden Autumn Cheekwood Engagement Session - Kaye & Edward
An autumn engagement session at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens. Photographed while the couple was in town planning their destination wedding.
Meet Kaye and Edward one of my newest soon-to-be bride and grooms! I am so excited to be working with these two and equally as excited that we were able to sneak in an engagement session while they were briefly in town from New York. Despite the looming threat of rain we had some really fun hazy, golden fall light! You can't go wrong with a fun, good looking couple at Cheekwood! Special thanks to Kelly Dellinger Events for sending Kaye and Edward my way. Please enjoy the sneak peek of their Golden Autumn Cheekwood Engagement Session! I cannot wait for your wedding!
