Nicole got ready at a hotel with her bridesmaids and family, while the groomsmen got ready at their apartment down the road!

Nicole was just finishing up her hair and makeup when I arrived and her artists did such an incredible job!!! She was SO stunning! They did a high pony updo and this moody glam makeup with a darker lip. She was so gorgeous!! Nicole and her sister and friends hung out, had champagne and enjoyed their morning together!

Nicole’s sister helped her into her dress while the softest light came pouring through the windows. It was such a perfect day! Once she was ready, she went downstairs to see her dad for the first time. He had tears in his eyes with the rest of us once he saw her, it was such a special moment.

It was a Sunday so the boys were watching football when I arrived which was awesome hahah. Nicole gave him photos of her boudoir session for his eyes only, and he was so excited!

We all headed to the Bicentennial Mall State Park in Nashville for their first look! Nicole pranked him for his first look with one of their friends in a costume and iced him, it was amazing!!

They shared their first look and shared their personal vows together, and got emotional listening to each other committing their lives to each other. We also took wedding party photos next to the pillars at the Bicentennial Mall State Park and it was amazing!!!

Then we all headed to The Bell Tower for their ceremony and reception. Everything was mostly indoors with gorgeous windows overlooking the city. The entire evening was filled with tons of dancing to old rock music, speeches that had everyone in tears, and the best send off to end the night!!!

Congrats Nicole and Cody!!! It was such an honor to capture your gorgeous wedding day! xx
