I consider it one of my greatest priviledges in life that I am asked to document the beauty, the life and the story of weddings and people in Nashville, Iowa and destinations all around the world.

This blog is filled with the stories I witness. Enjoy them. And then tell me your story.

nashville wedding photography – riverwood mansion | AMANDA + DAN

Amanda and Dan traveled all the way from Michigan to celebrate their love with friends and family who had traveled from all over the country. They all met up in a magical little spot in Nashville, Tennessee called Riverwood Mansion. It was a beautiful, rather warm day filled with lots of love and joy. And it was a pleasure for us to be a part of it. Congratulations you two…hope you had a fabulous time snorkeling and relaxing in St. Lucia!!

I walked into the bridal suite and saw all of these little details and moments that made me happy.

Love these :) I loved the way Dan looked at Amanda during their first look. Love a happy bride! And a fabulous looking wedding party! Amanda watching guests arrive. Riverwood Mansion is a gorgeous place with an amazing staff. It was a true pleasure to photograph a wedding in such a gorgeous setting that was so fabulously run by the ladies of Riverwood. I’m excited to shoot another wedding there next spring! Okay, I might have teared up during the mother-son dance. And then it was party time!! :) Congratulations Amanda & Dan; we wish you a lifetime of enjoying life together. And no wedding is complete without some behind the scenes shots :)Nashville wedding photographer, Kristyn Hogan, documents the beauty, the life and the story of weddings and people in Nashville, Iowa and destinations worldwide.

The hills of Tennessee are so gorgeous. Tasty cake (as always) by The Bake Shoppe! Everyone loves a funny toast! And what wedding would be complete without a Michael Jackson dance off?
