There’s something incredible about a Nashville summer engagement session—the sun warming the streets, the vibrant city energy, and couples completely in their element. This summer, I had the joy of capturing C and S’s engagement. Their day perfectly combined meaningful locations, city adventures, and moments that truly reflect their story. From a morning at a spot filled with sentimental memories to a playful evening running around downtown, this session was full of laughter, joy, and pure connection.
Our session began at Lakeside Lounge, a spot that’s meaningful to C and S. More than just a bar, it’s a place where they’ve spent time with friends and celebrated milestones—including their engagement. As a result, the lounge offered a relaxed, intimate setting that perfectly captured the vibe of their Nashville summer engagement.
Being there with them felt like stepping into a chapter of their story.
As the evening set in, we moved to downtown Nashville to capture another side of C and S. Meanwhile, the streets, glowing in the sunset light, reflected their energy and playfulness. Downtown offered plenty of moments for genuine laughter, spontaneous movement, and natural connection.
Adventure is a big part of who they are, so their summer engagement session felt perfectly them. From climbing on a fountain to sharing a quiet kiss on a side street, each shot highlights a couple who enjoys life together—whether it’s out on the town or in a low-key favorite spot.

No engagement story is complete without a peek into how it all started. C and S met on Tinder, and their first date was at The Pharmacy, a charming burger spot. Their favorite adventure together? A trip to Las Vegas filled with food, laughs, and unforgettable experiences like dancing behind the DJ booth at Omnia Nightclub.
Whether traveling to new destinations, exploring dive bars, or discovering the next incredible restaurant, C and S prove that any activity can be memorable when shared with the right person.
This balance of spontaneity and connection truly shone throughout their Nashville summer engagement. The session felt like a perfect mix of city energy and personal intimacy.
Capturing C and S’s engagement reminded me why I love photographing couples who embrace their story, their city, and their love. Ultimately, their day was a perfect example of how a Nashville summer engagement session can be both intimate and wildly fun—just like the couple themselves.
If you’re planning your own engagement session or elopement, I’d love to help you capture the moments that make your story uniquely yours.
