Nashville Winter Engagement Session | Narrows of the Harpeth | Darien Photography
Love will warm the coldest winter day. An engagement photo session at Narrows of the Harpeth, in Nashville TN. | Getting to know your wedding photographer during a fun and simple engagement session, will make you feel like you are hanging out with a friend instead of a stranger with a camera at your wedding day, highly recommend it! | Darien Photographer, Nashville Wedding Photographer.
Lisa is a producer from the CA Bay Area and Joe is a Water Resource Engineer from Murfreesboro, TN. They have been together going on 7 years. They met in Merced, CA at fire safety training for the Sierra Nevada Research Institute. Lisa was a field technician/undergraduate researcher; Joe was a graduate researcher. They were both on the American River Project, and spent their first summer camping all over the Sierra Nevadas for most of the week.
They got engaged on a “backpacking trip into Desolation wilderness with our dog Tobias and he proposed on the last day at a peak near our campsite.” When the pandemic started Lisa was working in CA and Joe was in TN. Lisa “took the night owl flight before the lockdown to be with Joe” and she has continued to work virtually since then.
Lisa and Joe are actually already married. They eloped in October 2020, but are planning to celebrate with family and friends at their first wedding anniversary mark.
Because it is technically a "one-year anniversary party," we are excited to focus on some of the more celebratory aspects instead of the practical/legal aspects of getting married. I also LOVE wedding dancing. We are also excited to see all our friends and family together. I am from California and Joe is from Tennessee and the groups rarely co-mingle.
I am so glad Lisa found me while searching in Google for a Nashville wedding photographer! When she hired me to be their photographer, I invited them to join us for a mini-session event I was about to host for Valentine’s Day “Love is in the air” at a modern farmhouse on Narrows of the Harpeth. They came to have some portraits taken, and I wished Miller and I had booked the house for longer, because we had to cut our conversation short to clean up before closing. It was a very cold winter day, our hands were purple after the quick session outdoors, but we had a great time and we had some wine, Valentine cookies, and a lively conversation.
I can’t wait to document their wedding celebration in October at Ravenswood Mansion in Brentwood, TN. I know it will be one for the books.
