Nashville Ellington Agricultural Center Engagement | Kimberly & Shane

April 3, 2025

I absolutely LOVED getting to meet Kimberly and Shane for their Ellington Agricultural Center Engagement session ahead of their intimate wedding at St. Mary’s later this spring.

When we started planning K and S’s engagement session, they sent a new-to-me location that I visited the day before and instantly fell in love with. Ellington Agricultural Center has antebellum architecture, a gorgeous arched tunnel, multiple gardens and green spaces, and lush cedar trees.

It was great getting to know a couple who was so elegant and down to earth during their session. We approached this session exactly how I always work: with simple and classic posing that highlights their personalities, lots of different angles, and exploring all the different backgrounds of this location. They are getting married this May at St. Mary’s of the Seven Sorrows here in downtown Nashville and I can’t wait to see them again and document their intimate Catholic Wedding Mass.
