There’s something truly magical about an autumn wedding in Nashville — crisp air, golden foliage, warm candlelight. That was exactly the mood when I had the honor of photographing this stunning wedding at The Cordelle.

 

 

Why The Cordelle is a dream venue

 

 

The Cordelle blends historic charm and modern flexibility in one beautiful space. It features a Victorian home, a Great Hall, a cozy Loft, and a lush 5,000-square-foot garden lawn.  

It’s tucked in downtown but feels like a hidden oasis.  

The venue’s team allows couples to bring their own vendors and make the design their own, which always results in weddings that feel personal and real.  

 

 

A wedding made with taste

 

 

This particular wedding was all about refined autumn elegance. The florals were rich, textured, and perfectly matched the season. Tables were set with care, soft lighting, and details that felt intentional and intimate. The bride’s room, though cozy, glowed with natural light — a photographer’s dream. The garden, though modest, became a serene frame for the ceremony, with leaves gently falling, adding to the atmosphere.

 

Guests moved seamlessly between the outdoor garden, covered porch, and the elegant hall. The transitions were smooth, and every moment felt “of the place.”

 

 

My approach as your photographer

 

 

In a venue like The Cordelle, it’s important to see the flow — where light falls, how people move between spaces, where the ceremony will be, whether indoors or under the garden sky. On this wedding, I looked for these moments: the quiet glance under autumn leaves, the laughter over dinner, the rich tones as the sun set behind the venue’s walls.

 

Every wedding I photograph, I aim to tell the full story — not just posed portraits, but the emotions, the transitions, the small in-between moments. And a venue like The Cordelle provides so many beautiful backdrops for those.
