Nashville Wedding Photographers Laura K. Allen Photography & Design *Pre-pology for the extra long blog post. It’s 100-ish images.

Nashville Wedding Photographers Laura K. Allen Photography & Design Amy & Ben’s engagement session was held on a private estate in Hendersonville, just outside of Nashville, TN.  I hadn’t met them in person yet, but Amy and I had conversed via FaceTime when discussing their wedding photography needs.  On my drive there, I thought about how […]

I blinked and 2015 was over. At least that’s what it feels like, am I right? I have to admit, it took me a few weeks to want to blog about 2015.  As a wedding photographer, I’ve done “this” post each year, and it keeps getting harder!  It’s hard to accurately express the emotions you feel while […]

Happy 2016 from your neighborhood Nashville Wedding Photographer!

[…]

Becky & Dylan met with me at Radnor Lake in Nashville, TN for their engagement session.  This was my first time meeting them, as they live in Colorado and were in town visiting family for Thanksgiving!  Their session was filled with laughs and cuteness and they were total PROs in front of the camera! I […]

Nashville Wedding Photographer: Laura K. Allen Photography & Design I got an e-mail from Stacey telling me that her and her fiance had recently moved to Nashville (from Indianapolis) and were in need of an engagement session in their new city!  We chatted about how my boyfriend has family in Indianapolis, and if they happened […]

Nashville Wedding Photographer Laura K. Allen Photography & Design One of Nashville’s most beautiful (and historical!) spots is Ellington Agricultural Center.  When Baylee & Bailey (how cool is it that they have the same name!?) picked this spot to shoot their engagement session, I was totally on board.  These two are incredibly photogenic, and it […]

Now that the amazing 2015 Nashville wedding season has ended (mostly), what’s a wedding photographer like me to do? Engagement sessions of course!  My next few blogs will mainly be engagement sessions for my 2016 bride & grooms!  Up first: here’s Autumn and Stephen’s session at Nashville’s Percy Warner Park!! They were such naturals in […]
