Justin + Meya Elijah / Scarritt Bennett Wedding and Hilton Downtown Reception

We started with Meya and her ladies at the Hilton in Downtown Nashville. They had an amazing suite for everyone to gather and get ready. She did monogrammed gift bags for her bridesmaids complete with monogram robes and darling silver slippers.

Meya and Justin didn’t do a first look so we started with the guys on the Pedestrian Bridge and then the ladies followed. We love shooting bridal parties on the bridge. It’s just so unique to Nashville and even on a hot day, there’s always a nice breeze.

We traveled to Scarritt Bennett for the ceremony. I’ve been shooting Scarritt Bennett for many many years and I just love it. The grand arches and expansive stonework always wow everyone. The sanctuary looked amazing!! I don’t know if I’ve ever seen so many flowers. Meya’s mom walked her down the aisle and it was an amazing moment. After the ceremony, we had just a little sunlight left for some sweet bride and groom photos.

The reception was back at Hilton downtown Nashville, and the ballroom looked a-mazing. Meya and Justin hired Angela Proffitt, celebrity and luxury wedding planner to design and orchestrate their wedding day. Angela always delivers … And this reception was no exception. To say this reception looked like something you’d see on a celebrity television show would be an understatement. Candlelight, eggplant tablecloths, silver sequin table coverings, sparkling crystal accents, and sweet lavender flowers were a feast for the eyes. And….Can we talk about that sweetheart table? It looked fit for a king and queen. Meya changed into a party dress and everyone danced the night away. They did their exit with silver poppers and it was such an amazing end to an amazing day!

Meya and Justin…Congratulations on your marriage!! You are such an amazing couple, inside and out.  We can’t wait to see what the future holds for you both! Thanks for allowing us to be a part of your magical day.
