Winter Wedding at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center
I will always remember the flood of 2010. One building that sustained serious damage was Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center. They were closed for months, a chain link fence surrounding the building, no music coming from it’s heart.

My friend, Elizabeth James, wedding planner guru called me a few months ago to see if I was interested in photographing the first wedding at the SSC after it’s grand re opening and the first one of 2011. I said yes! What a fabulous decision!
A few weeks ago I met the bride, Cathy and Elizabeth at the symphony to do Cathy’s bridal portrait session. Here are a few of my favorites!
Saturday, January 1, 2011 Cathy married Ben! Here are some preliminary images from the day.
The entrance foyer was transformed into an elegant ceremony space.

Tulip Tree did a bang up job on creating a vintage winter wonderland.

Maples Wedding Cakes created a funky, elegant, organic cake with gray pearlized fondant. It was just beautiful. Reminding me not only of flower petals but also had a Chihuly feel to them. The cake was really yummy too. Wish I had a piece now. 
More favorites from the day in no particular order.
Cathy and her little sister sharing a moment before the ceremony.
Emotions flowed during the vows.

I wish you could hear what this sounded like. Heavenly.
The wedding guests were lead out to the front of the Symphony by these guys playing "When the Saints Come Marching In".

It ended with blustery wind and really cold temps but everyone's heart was warm for Ben and Cathy.
Reminiscing on New Year’s Day 2011
If I had to have a goal for 2011… it would be to travel more to locations far and near! I have been looking at some “vintage” images from the nineties and am really getting the itch.

Going to the Sun Highway in Glacier National Park, 1993
Another view from Going to the Sun highway. I was so in love at this time of my life, all ready to move to Montana for a man! I still love Montana and would love to go back.
