The Cordelle in Nashville, Tennessee is one THAT venue that feels timeless the moment you step inside. Clean lines, historic character, and space to actually breathe. This wedding was intimate, emotional, and full of the kind of quiet moments that make documentary wedding photography so powerful. The thing I love most is that everything is in one place!! Making it easy for guests and the wedding party.
I am based in Memphis but travel often for weddings across Tennessee, and The Cordelle is the kind of place that makes the drive an easy yes every time.
Intimate Wedding at The Cordelle in Nashville | Tennessee Wedding Photographer



Why The Cordelle Is One of Nashville’s Most Beautiful Wedding Venues
The Cordelle sits right in the heart of Nashville but somehow feels tucked away from the noise. The architecture is historic and clean, which means it photographs beautifully in every season. Natural light pours into the ceremony space, the courtyard offers a calm place to breathe, and the flow of the venue makes the day feel unhurried.
From a photography standpoint, it is a dream. There is room for real moments to happen. No rushing from corner to corner. No awkward shuffling. Just people you love, gathered in a space that lets the day unfold naturally.






Photographing a Wedding at The Cordelle
My approach is simple. I am there to document what it feels like, not manufacture moments that never existed. Don’t get me wrong… I love a good editorial shot 😉
At The Cordelle, that approach really shines. The ceremony is intimate. The reactions are close. The emotions land differently when everyone feels connected to the moment. I give gentle direction when needed, but most of the day is about letting couples be themselves and trusting that the real stuff is already happening.
If you do not love the idea of being posed all day or feeling like you are performing for the camera, this venue paired with a documentary approach is a perfect match.

Even though I am based in Memphis, Nashville weddings are a regular part of my calendar. The drive is easy, travel is built into my process, and couples never have to worry about logistics or added stress.
I photograph weddings throughout Tennessee and beyond, and I believe where you are based matters far less than how you see people. If my work feels like you, the distance is just a detail.
