Romantic Date Night in Downtown Nashville: Couples photos at the Schermerhorn
Imagine an early summer evening downtown - golden light, city buzzing, and you and your love walking hand in hand.
This recently engaged couple had a date night planned at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, and they wanted to make it extra romantic by booking a photo experience with me! This was their first visit to Nashville, and they wanted to remember it in an artful way.

Engagement photos that don't feel like an engagement session.
One of my favorite things about this session is that it never felt staged. I help foster an atmosphere for couples to connect and be present. Throughout their time together, they laughed and shared stories, danced and swayed together, and walked hand in hand while taking in the city around them. It was intentional, and it was 100% them.
The below scrolling images were all shot on 35mm black and white film.
