Gorgeous Outdoor Wedding in Franklin, TN

Cheers to bride Stephanie! She had an absolutely stunning outdoor wedding in Franklin, TN. The natural beauty of the venue along with the beautiful decor created a celebration that was captivating, and romantic. See the gorgeous ceremony, and watch the wedding party’s exciting dance rehearsals in the couple’s video below!

This fun wedding video was shot by the bride and groom’s guests. They had a fabulous time capturing all the fun pre-wedding activities, and the ceremony with their own cameras along with the WeddingMix app.

Our wedding ceremony was unique in that a good amount happened prior to my processional. I really wanted to be able to come back and listen to everything that was said prior to my walk down the aisle, plus everything after – I figured emotions would make it hard for me to remember everything! I especially wanted to capture my groom’s reaction when he heard and saw the surprise bagpiper, his reaction to seeing me for the first time, and my walk down the aisle.”-Stephanie

My dress was not a top 3 item, so when I was finding that all the dresses I loved cost amounts that competed with my top 3 budget items and budgeting, I took to second hand shops. I ended up finding a brand new dress that I had tried on at a bridal store on Ebay for $350.
