How to have a Bridgerton themed wedding - key wedding aesthetics:

  • An elegant, and ideally historic venue

  • If you’d prefer an outdoor wedding, it should be in an elegant garden

  • A string quartet, and/or classical music played throughout the wedding day

  • The invitations should ooze as much elegance as the wedding itself will

  • Guests must be required to attend in either cocktail attire, or elevated garden party

  • A pastel color theme - either a singular color, or a mix

  • Florals, florals, florals and MORE florals!

  • If getting married in the summer, parasols and handheld fans are a must

  • If you’re working with a blank space, hang drapery to add elegance to the atmosphere

  • Candlelight - on tables, in corners, along stairs. Candelabras are also a romantic addition

  • Hang a few chandeliers in your venue

  • Get thoughtful and intentional with the details of the day

  • Have a wedding day editorial published that tells your love story and has a few photos for guests to read (and don’t forget to share a secret of two!)

Things to avoid when planning wedding with a Bridgerton aesthetic:

  • Avoid all white - you don’t want things to blend in or look bland. Instead, think Parisian pastels

  • Do NOT skimp on the flowers - the bigger the floral budget, the better

  • Minimize electric lights - they diminish the elegant and romantic feeling

  • Avoid modern pieces of decor and instead consider vintage pieces

  • Do not use throw away cutlery or dishes - instead use china, or something made to look like it

Best Nashville venues for a Bridgerton Aesthetic:

  • Cheekwood Estate & Gardens - A historic estate that has been perfectly preserved in time, making it one of the most romantic places to get married in Nashville

  • The Cordelle - A Victorian home from the 1800’s full of southern elegance and charm

  • Riverwood Mansion - A southern mansion tucked away in East Nashville

I’m a romantic and old soul, and I specialize in photographing intimate weddings.

You've intentionally invested so much thought into your venue, the beauty of how it’s designed, and your guest list. Most weddings move very quickly, filled with strict timelines, expectations of family, and a constant subtle pressure to perform. This pulls you out of the very moments you've been looking forward to and planning.

You deserve imagery that looks like how the day felt.

Without intention, even the most beautiful days can feel like they slipped away faster than you could experience and enjoy them.


This is for couples who:

-Care deeply about the experience of their day, and the beauty of how it's designed
-Don’t want the day to feel rushed or overly directed

-Want emotion filled photos more than staged ones
