There’s something undeniably magical about the night before a wedding. All the planning is done, the countdown is nearly over, and the only thing left to do is soak in the moment before everything begins. For Peri and Alex, capturing this sweet in-between moment was so important. I was thrilled to be the one behind the camera for their night-before wedding photoshoot in beautiful Germantown in Nashville, Tennessee.
Peri had the idea to do a relaxed, romantic shoot the night before their wedding in the same neighborhood where their rehearsal dinner was taking place. Germantown is known for its cobblestone walkways, charming architecture, and cozy little bistro corners. Peri loved the idea of blending that historic elegance with the excitement of the evening. It couldn’t have been more perfect.
Peri looked stunning in a long white gown that was both timeless and chic. Alex complimented her perfectly in a cream suit and tan shoes. Their classic, elegant style matched the setting so beautifully, and together they brought such a calm, joyful energy to the evening.
While every corner of Germantown offered a perfect backdrop, my favorite part of the session was watching them relax at a table, drinks in hand, simply enjoying each other’s company. There was something so tender and real about that moment. It felt like time slowed down just for them. You could see the anticipation in their eyes and the happiness in their smiles. They weren’t just posing for photos; they were savoring their last evening before becoming husband and wife.
Capturing moments like this, the night before a wedding, is such a unique way to preserve the emotional lead-up to the big day. It’s not just about documenting outfits or locations, it’s about freezing the feelings of anticipation, joy, and the quiet excitement of knowing you’re just hours away from saying “I do.”
Peri and Alex, thank you for letting me be part of this beautiful moment in your love story. It was a perfect prelude to your stunning wedding day!
