Earlier this month, we had the honor of documenting the beautiful Nashville wedding of Lauren and Rob. Lauren is the younger sister of our former bride and a precious friend from my Belmont University days, Kristin, and we were so excited to be part of another of their family's celebrations.

Their wedding day was truly the fairytale that Lauren wished for, and no fairytale would be complete without a fairy godmother - in this case, wedding planner extraordinaire Kelly Dellinger. A little rain couldn't keep this event from being one of the most lovely we've ever seen, and the couple spent the day surrounded by and celebrating with the sweetest friends and family. 

The day began with the girls getting ready at Lauren's parents' house...

While the girls got ready, Rob and has groomsmen were hanging out at his childhood home just down the road...

Lauren's dress was an updated version of her mother's wedding gown, and she looked absolutely radiant in it.

Rob and Lauren chose not to see each other, but to exchange letters before their ceremony. This was such a sweet moment...

The ceremony was held at the beautiful Cathedral of the Incarnation in Nashville's West End neighborhood.

After a few photos in the church courtyard, we headed to the Frist Learning Center for cocktail hour and more photos on the beautiful grounds at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens...

Lauren and Rob were such troopers and stepped outside with me during the reception to get some beautiful nighttime shots on the property. This is one of my absolute favorites...

No Kapolas family wedding would be complete without a little Greek dancing. SO FUN!

I am so incredibly honored and excited (like the real deal jumping up and down kind of excited) to have Brittany and Jeff's Nashville wedding featured today on Vera Wang's Vera Unveiled blog!

This feature is extra special, not only because Brittany is a friend of mine from college, but also because I got to work with so many AMAZING wedding professionals, many of whom are fellow Alpha Sigma Tau alumnae, on this beautiful event.

I have to admit that I feel a little small to even be on the same web page as the Vera Wang logo - her work is so iconic and the brand is just so big - I mean, come on, who DOESN'T know the name Vera Wang? But I am so so so grateful for the opportunity to be featured on her site, and I am forever indebted to my incredible brides and grooms and the crazy awesome teams of wedding professionals that I get to work with at each and every wedding for helping to make my dreams (that often seem too big to ever be possible) come true.

A huge thank you to Jacob and the rest of the team at Vera for featuring our work!
