Hannah and Johnny’s September wedding was a Tennessee DREAM. Since I typically photograph Catholic weddings here in Nashville and the Southeast (so, church weddings), outdoor weddings are always a fun creative challenge. And this one? This is what styled shoots try to look like, but real life. Hannah and her family put so much intention into the design of this wedding.

Savannah and Tanner had their short and simple Catholic wedding ceremony at St. Ann’s Catholic Church (one of my favorites!) in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It was a beautiful, rainy, and emotional ceremony that was an honor to photograph.

Kimberly and Shane’s traditional Catholic wedding at St. Mary’s in Nashville was one of the most inspiring weddings MOP photographed this Spring.

Their wedding was the definition of simple, elegant, and focused on all the right things: Christ, each other, and spending time with close loved ones.

The biggest phrases you will see on photographers websites of all budgets are if they describe themselves as “editorial” photographers or “documentary” photographers or both. So, let’s define our terms before we talk about anything else.

To the couples who are already excited about finding the best fit Catholic wedding photographer, Amazing! Let’s make some art that captures the intentionality you are implementing in your day. Skip on down to the bottom! To the other brides and grooms who maybe don’t understand the hype, or, for whatever reason, don’t feel like they fit the “mold” of needing a Catholic photographer, I see you, I was you, and welcome.
