Love Conquers Fear / Adam & Coleman in Covington, TN
Adam and Coleman conquered fears through love (and a little bit of Taylor Swift). "Because of you, I've conquered my biggest fear: being myself, my true self, in front of my friends, family, and God." THIS IS WHAT IT'S ABOUT, folks!
The overwhelming sense of community I felt from this couple and their guests has stuck with me because I can relate so much to the vows that Adam and Coleman wrote and spoke for each other. I, too, grew up with so much fear of the future and of what would become of my life if I were to live as my true self. In the face of fear, the people in Adam and Coleman's lives have decided to stick around because of love, and they triumph because of it. We all triumph because of it! What a gift this kind of love really is.

Wedding Teaser / Matt & Nafis at the Nashville Parthenon
When people ask my favorite thing about my job, I always start by saying how I love that everyone is smiling on a wedding day. Everyone is happy to be here and to have a good time. Matt and Nafis brought the joy, the spirit, the wonder, and then some, and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a group of people smile this big!
The venue, the Gucci rings, the vows! So many things to see and to remember. Congratulations, M & N on such a grand spectacle, fit for royalty like you both. 🤍❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎

For Love and Loss Until the End / Julia & Shelby at Meadow Hill Farm
Julia and Shelby radiate joy. What a gift it was to celebrate this wedding day with these two and their chosen family!
As a queer person, having a hand in a queer love story is life-giving, and let me tell you I GOT MY LIFE seeing these two commit to be each other's person. I've been to plenty of weddings, but even I found myself emotional when Shelby and Julia read their vows to each other. "I've always had a love-hate relationship with the phrase 'it's always been you'. If it had always been you, I would have accepted myself by loving you so much sooner." This is the story for so many of us who sometimes can't see a future for ourselves that involves the love that we deserve, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, or anything that may divide us. "Our love needed to grow, needed the safety to know that it can be free, good, and whole just as it is." UGH I could cry again if I don't move on!
"You're the soul who understands
The scars that made me who I am
Through the drifting sands of time
I got your back and you got mine
If you bear a heavy load
I'll be your wheels, I'll be the road
I'll see us through the thick and thin
For love and loss until the end."
from "Carried Me With You" by Brandi Carlile
J & S, yours is a wedding day I won't soon forget. Thank you for having me, and thank you for your bravery to celebrate your love through life's storms. Congratulations!
