Marissa and Ryan reached to me over Instagram. After chatting and getting to know these two I knew that we would become close friends. Marissa and Ryan both have this kind and lively yet laid back type of energy that can spread like a wildfire. The day she reached out and asked me to photograph their fall wedding at Clementine Hall I was beyond ecstatic. Marissa and Ryan are not only my kind of people but I had fallen in love with their wedding venue.
Clementine Hall is a historic wedding venue located in the heart of music city. Its architecture and design are simply one of a kind. It will leave you feeling completely mesmerized. Firstly outside the venue is a lush courtyard that is perfect for wedding day photos. Secondly inside the venue is an open space, with a floor to ceiling organ that sets the stage for your dreamy Clementine Hall wedding ceremony. Above all else it created the perfect setting for Ryan and Marissa’s dreamy fall wedding day.
Marissa and Ryans wedding was on an overcast day in October. Making it the perfect setting for wedding photos and it allowed us to take full advantage of all the pretty places. Their wedding colors were shades of reds, pinks and whites that added to the beautiful atmosphere of Clementine Hall. They committed their love for one another in front of their closest family and friends. Their wedding ceremony was both intentional and meaningful. Filled with many beautiful messages for these newly weds to take with them as they started this new journey together.
Once the day turned into night and it started started to get dark thats when all the party animals started to come out. Their wedding reception was simply one of a kind and it all started when their wild bridal party entered the reception. One hundred dollar bills started flying around after being shot out of a money gun and then the brides sister proceeded to ICE one of the groomsmen. Following this totally fun entrance by their bridal party Marissa and Ryan were announced inside Clementine Hall. They ended the night with an all out glow-stick celebration on the dance-floor with all their family and friends.
Check out this super cute video that one of their guests made during their experience at Ryan and Marissa’s wedding day at Clementine Hall.
