A Romantic Downtown Nashville Engagement Session

Okayyyy but Machael & Drew’s engagement session in Nashville?! Literal goals. We had the best time hanging out with these two (and their sweet pup, Rebel 🐾) while running around to all their fave spots in the city. The whole session was romantic, iconic, and full of the best kind of vibes… think timeless love with a side of giggles and golden light. We got to photograph them in places that feel like their story, which made everything even more magical. We’re OBSESSED. And we’re already dreaming about their wedding day!!! 🥹💍✨
