I want to create imagery in moments that feel like you. With the utmost intention in everything I do, this experience should feel like yours.

Pour a glass of wine and stay a while, won't you?

The night before the wedding is always one of my favorite parts of a wedding weekend. The evening is filled with anticipation, emotion, and celebration. Katie and Hayden’s stylish and moody rehearsal dinner at 5th & Taylor in Nashville was the perfect way to celebrate their big weekend.

Held in one of the city’s most sophisticated and artful spaces, this dinner was stunning. With moody, romantic details that echoed the restaurant’s rich textures and artistic flair, everything felt elevated yet intimate.

5th & Taylor Rehearsal Dinner: A Stylish Celebration

Planned and designed by the talented Kasey Schaffer Events, this dinner embraced the natural ambiance of 5th & Taylor. I personally loved the faced linens she incorporated, which perfectly complemented the painted faces that line the restaurant’s walls. It was a subtle design moment that tied the space and decor together effortlessly. The tablescape featured textured linens, beautiful florals, and flickering candles. It was the kind of space that made you want to linger, converse, and soak in every moment.

Before guests sat down to dinner, we captured a few portraits of Katie and Hayden who were dressed to the nines and glowing with excitement. Katie wore a ring that once belonged to Hayden’s late mother. It was such a special moment and a sweet way to carry her memory into the weekend.

A Warm Welcome to a Beautiful Weekend

Throughout the evening, Katie and Hayden were all smiles, greeting friends and family, sharing toasts, and savoring the start of their wedding weekend. You could feel the love and excitement in the air. After hearing all the wonderful things family and friends had to say about them, it is clear these two are very loved. Not only that, but they are the perfect pair.

Katie and Hayden, it was an absolute joy to capture this moment along with all the love and laughter that surrounded you. What a wonderful way to kick off your wedding weekend!
