Whimsical Elopement at Cheekwood

February 1, 2025

If there’s one place that feels straight out of a fairytale, it’s Cheekwood Botanical Gardens, nestled in the heart of Nashville, TN. With its lush gardens, historic architecture, and charming pathways, it is a wedding photographer’s oasis and provided the dreamiest backdrop for Michelle and Jordan’s intimate elopement. They exchanged vows beneath a canopy of wisteria, in front of their closest family and friends, soaking in the magic of the moment. You could feel the pure, heartfelt love in one of the most romantic spots in Nashville.

From the emotional first look to the darling, intimate ceremony, every moment felt effortless and full of joy. As the sun started to set, they toasted their champagne glasses with their guests and enjoyed a perfectly crafted meal. Jarrod serenaded Michelle with an original song which was so sweet, it brought tears to her (and everyone’s) eyes.

As if the day wasn’t already magical enough, Michelle and Jarrod took things up a notch with a vintage red getaway car that made for the most dramatic and romantic night portraits. Under the glow of the headlights and some additional lighting supplied by *moi*, they leaned into each other, wrapped up in the excitement of the day, while the car’s glossy red finish added the perfect pop of old-Hollywood romance. The way the headlights cast a warm glow, the way Michelle’s dress caught the light—it was nothing short of cinematic. Their Cheekwood elopement was proof that when love, a little bit of adventure, and the perfect setting come together, absolute magic happens.
