Engagement Sessions

DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE ENGAGEMENT | HALEY AND ZACH

August 13, 2023

Haley & Zach first saw us in action at Morgan & John’s wedding in Palm Springs. And then again, we ran into them a couple years later at Pierce & Alec’s wedding in St. Petersburg, FL. After getting the chance to see us in our element during real wedding days, and then see the images from those weddings, they said they knew we were the perfect fit for their upcoming St. Augustine wedding! The feeling was 100% mutual. These two are one of the sweetest, most romantic couples we’ve ever gotten to work with!

During our first call, Haley mentioned wanting to do engagement photos before the wedding day, but wasn’t sure when our schedules would all line up (with them in Florida and us in Kentucky)… Then she mentioned that they had recently planned a trip to Nashville to celebrate Zach’s birthday… We all saw the opportunity and decided to seize it! We LOVED getting to show these two some of our favorite spots around downtown Nashville. And we captured some amazing photos of them that really capture their sweet, romantic nature. Starting off at War Memorial, then finishing up our time together at the iconic Dream Hotel (who were sooo welcoming and easy to work with- thank you, Dream staff!).

Enjoy some of our favorites from our afternoon together! Cannot wait to celebrate with them in April!!

about us

we're shelley AND portugal

Before we were wedding photographers, we were just two kids in love. We met on Instagram and fell in love over FaceTime. A shared interest in roadkill portraiture is what brought us together (it’s a funny story), but what ultimately compelled us to take a chance on long-distance is the fact that we weren’t looking for surface-level. We craved a shared life full of connection, vulnerability, and the kind of love that changes you. Now we bring that same energy to your wedding day to capture the real story, not a performance.
