As the wedding photographer, I had the privilege of capturing a beautiful fall morning at Hachland Hill. Immediately upon arrival, sunlight gently filtered through the cabin’s rustic windows, casting a warm glow. As a result, the atmosphere was serene and peaceful. The girls laughed and chatted while doing each other’s hair and makeup. Additionally, delicate sprigs of baby’s breath adorned their hair, adding an ethereal touch. In fact, it felt like a scene from a storybook. The charming cabin, nestled in Nashville’s heart, ultimately set the stage for an intimate wedding celebration.

Private Vows Over the Running Creek at Hachland Hill

Later that day, the couple exchanged private vows by a picturesque creek. The cool air, mixed with the sound of running water, created a magical ambiance. Surrounded by lush foliage and falling leaves, their words reflected deep love and commitment. Interestingly, both spoke the same Jane Austen quote, which perfectly mirrored their hearts’ desires. As their photographer, I was thrilled to capture this serendipitous moment. Indeed, it was a beautiful reflection of Hachland Hill’s ability to create intimate, nature-filled experiences.

The Wedding Reception Under the Stars

Next, we moved on to the reception, which seamlessly blended rustic charm with elegance. Set under a white tent, the crisp fall air added warmth to the festivities. Meanwhile, laughter filled the air, mixing with lively conversation and clinking glasses. Guests enjoyed delicious food, including the popular late-night hot dog station, which quickly became an instant hit. As their photographer, I loved capturing these fun moments, which added a relaxed and casual element to the evening.

As the night unfolded, the dance floor buzzed with energy. Friends and family joyously celebrated the couple’s journey together. Without a doubt, I couldn’t wait to capture the joyful moments of everyone dancing under the twinkling lights. By the time the evening came to a close, the intimate vibe of the venue grew even stronger. The core group of guests, with joyful hearts, made their way back to the cozy cabin. From there, they continued celebrating in a close-knit atmosphere. The rustic beauty of Hachland Hill, therefore, perfectly balanced elegance with comfort. In fact, it felt like a relaxed camp gathering with loved ones.

My Favorite Personalized Details

One of my favorite personalized details of this wedding was the adorable Lego boutonniere the groom wore. It was such a creative and fun touch, reflecting his playful personality and love for unique, one-of-a-kind details. The tiny Lego figurine added a special charm, making his look stand out and showing his sense of humor. Another fun and memorable detail was the late-night hot dog stand at the reception. After hours of dancing and celebrating, guests were treated to a nostalgic snack that perfectly blended casual comfort with the elegance of the evening. It was a perfect way to end the celebration — with laughter, delicious food, and a relaxed vibe. These little touches, the Lego boutonniere and the hot dog stand, truly reflected the couple’s personality and their desire to make sure everyone had a blast while celebrating their big day.

“I cannot stress this enough: book with Sammy Mckenzie. We first met her through booking a couples photo shoot in 2022 and knew, even before we were engaged, we had to have her for our wedding! She is communicative, attentive to every detail, incredible at giving direction without micromanaging, and is genuinely so much fun to be around. I am amazed how perfectly she captured our day exactly as we envisioned it! She has a range in her work from softness and warmth to the best flash dance floor pictures ever! If I could give her 1,000,000 stars I would ❤️ Sammy is THAT girl and I would trust her to book with her again a hundreds times over.”
