Summer Celebration With The Bridge Building Wedding Reception

March 18, 2024

Nashville Wedding Reception at The Bridge Building | Jennifer + Ethan

Summer Wedding in Nashville

Some weddings stay with you long after the last dance, and Jennifer and Ethan’s summer wedding in Nashville, Tennessee, is one of those unforgettable celebrations. As their Nashville wedding photographer, I had the absolute pleasure of documenting every sincere moment, from the intimate morning preparations to the lively reception at The Bridge Building Wedding venue, with the stunning Nashville skyline as a backdrop. This beautiful couple and an incredible team of vendors made their day a dream come true. 

Our day began in one of the most iconic settings in Nashville, the Hermitage Hotel. This stunning, historic hotel is known for its luxurious charm and beauty, making it an ideal spot for any couple’s getting ready photos—especially if your wedding venue doesn’t have a dedicated space for preparations. Conveniently located downtown, the Hermitage offers elegant suites with natural light pouring through the large windows, providing the perfect backdrop for those candid, emotional moments. As Jennifer and her closest friends and family prepared for the day, she radiated with happiness. One of my favorite parts of the morning was when she surprised her bridal party with personalized gifts—a beautiful way to set the tone for the love and gratitude that would shape the rest of the day.

After the excitement of the morning, we made our way to the historic Vine Street Christian Church. With its timeless architecture and tranquil courtyard, this church created the perfect setting for Jennifer and Ethan’s first look. As they saw each other for the first time in their wedding attire, you could feel the love and emotion in the air. We took advantage of the beautiful courtyard for stunning wedding party portraits before the ceremony began.

The ceremony was captivating. With their closest loved ones gathered around them, Jennifer and Ethan exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony. Jennifer’s father welcomed everyone with a song before walking her down the aisle. Moments like these make weddings so unique and meaningful, and I’m truly honored to have been able to capture it all.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their wedding party boarded a trolley, making their way to one of Nashville’s most unique venues—The Bridge Building. This Nashville wedding venue combines industrial chic with breathtaking views of the city skyline like no other. It’s perfect for couples who want their wedding to feel as though it’s intertwined with the energy of the city.

Jennifer and Ethan’s reception was absolutely stunning. The space was decorated with beautiful white florals and lush greenery, creating an atmosphere of understated elegance. The floor-to-ceiling windows showcased the Nashville skyline as the sun set, providing a vibrant backdrop for the night’s festivities. Hosting their reception at The Bridge Building Wedding venue perfectly captured the essence of Nashville. Their guests enjoyed the lively energy of the city while celebrating in a space perfectly crafted for an unforgettable wedding.

The live band kept the energy high, and as the city lights twinkled in the background, guests danced the night away. As the evening came to an end, Jennifer and Ethan walked through a tunnel of bubbles, surrounded by their guests, before hopping into the most charming vintage getaway car.

As a Nashville wedding photographer, my goal is always to capture the moments that will become treasured memories. From the morning at the Hermitage Hotel to the lively celebration at The Bridge Building, every moment of this day was a reflection of the couple’s love and the vibrant spirit of Nashville.

If you’re considering a Bridge Building Wedding, know that it is truly an amazing Nashville venue. The combination of historic charm, breathtaking skyline views, and proximity to Nashville’s lively atmosphere creates a unique celebration. Whether planning a small, intimate affair or a grand celebration, The Bridge Building offers flexibility and an ambiance that will leave your guests talking about your wedding for years to come.

Reflecting on Jennifer and Ethan’s special day reminds me why I love what I do. It’s not just about the beautiful photos or the stunning venues—it’s about the unforgettable moments that make each wedding unique. 

Congratulations to this fantastic couple! It was an honor to be part of your day. Enjoy scrolling through some of my favorites from their Bridge Building wedding.
