Gaylord Opryland intimate wedding // Cari + Brandon

Cari and Brandon chose a more intimate wedding elopement in Nashville at the Gaylord Opryland Venue, which was absolutely insane! I was not prepared for how massive and busy this place would be but was instantly drawn into the holiday lights and indoor greenery. Those things paired with all of the water features, it couldn’t have been better.

Cari was my hairdresser throughout my entire childhood so this was an extra special day for me to be apart of! She totally feels like another aunt to me and I was so emotional that she asked me to be there with them!

These two said their vows under a stunning gazebo with all of their close family and friends and then shared dinner with everyone afterward. It wasn’t your typical wedding, because they didn’t have a wedding party and the focus was only on the ceremony and dinner, so it was super relaxed and allowed everyone to enjoy the venue and explore Nashville.

Another unique thing about this day is that everything started after sundown so most of the pictures are done with flash or capturing the essence of the lighting around us throughout the night.

From the waterfalls, to the stunning Christmas lights outside with the horse and carriages, it really wow’ed us and I loved everything about being here with these two!
