No one can say these past two plus years haven't been interesting and challenging. However, that doesn't mean I care to repeat many things about this time period! Lena and Ali had a wrench thrown in their wedding plans when Covid-19 changed life as we knew it. Metro ordinance restricted public gatherings to eight people, maximum. The couple relied on virtual technology to include loved ones who were unable to attend, and it was a lovely day despite awkward times we lived in. Their plan was to have a dedicated reception when the dust settled. Fast forward to May 14, 2022, they had a fun-filled Cafe Azafran reception in South Nashville!
This lovely couple got to enjoy two digital slideshows and albums, to commemorate both days!

When Covid restrictions eased up and hospitalizations went down, Lena and Ali made a date and I was honored to have been chosen to document this part of their story as well! Now friends, family, and neighbors could safely gather with the couple and celebrate their milestone together! The event began with greeting / cocktail hour, and live music by Jesse Labelle. Then dinner to follow, and it was delicious! Thompson Kitchen served rice, braised pomegranate beef brisket, edamame vegetable medley and more. The couple had a brief dance, and guests enjoyed visiting, listening to music, enjoying cocktails and dancing until it was time to close the joint down. Special thanks to my assistant, Katie, and Gina the wedding planner! Bar staff courtesy of The Drinking Well. Thank you Lena and Ali for trusting the my vision at their documentary Nashville wedding photographer.
