There is something special about a Nashville Engagement Session that tells your story through places that already mean something to you. For K and J, that meant starting their late spring engagement session at the Noelle Hotel, where they will be getting married next year, before ending the evening at Belmont University. Each location represented a different part of Nashville while perfectly reflecting who they are as a couple. It was such a fun evening to document, and I already cannot wait to celebrate with them again on their wedding day.
