Welcome Wallflower Wedding Photography!

Welcome to our newest ClarksvilleBrides.com member, Wallflower Wedding Photography!

Hello Clarksville,
We are Wallflower Wedding Photography and are a new wedding photography business which services the Clarksville and Nashville area. My wife, Shellene, is our lead photographer and I am Bill, the equipment and lighting manager. We also have a wonderful second photographer, Jen, who is present at all of our weddings. Shel, as most people call her, has three and a half years of experience as a wedding photographer and has pretty much been attached to a camera all of her life. Jen has been a photographer for 2 years and also loves capturing special images.
Shel's style is mainly photo-journalistic, hence, the name of our business "Wallflower". We realize the center of attention at any wedding is the bride and the groom, so we aim to be as unobtrusive as possible as we capture the images of your very special day. Since we just opened a few months ago we are offering our services at an introductory rate and look forward to you contacting us. Rest assured, though we are new, we are more then capable of providing you the professional images you deserve, as you can see in our website.

Joann & Ryan: The Venue

This week we're going to share some details from our current ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding. The feature highlights Joann & Ryan's wedding day at Kuttawa Harbor House last October. Their ceremony took place in the Harbor House garden, surrounded by waterfalls, weeping willows, and the gorgeous view of Lake Barkley. This was definitely the perfect venue for Joann & Ryan's intimate ceremony. They hosted a cocktail hour outdoors on the patio (thanks to fire pits & outdoor heaters!), followed by their reception, which took place upstairs in the Harbor Ballroom.

Joann & Ryan not only chose Kuttawa Harbor House for their ceremony and reception venue, but they also took advantage of the overnight accommodations that the Harbor House offers. The Harbor House can accommodate up to 16 guests, and their wedding/reception packages can include:
-Exclusive use of the Harbor House facility
-Overnight accommodations for up to 11
-Tables and chairs for 50
-Access to two kitchens for catering and overnight guests
-Additional overnight accommodations available
-Rentals, decorations, catering and planning available

Joann & Ryan had an amazing wedding day - it was such a fun event for such a fun couple - click here to check out the Featured Wedding on ClarksvilleBrides.com.
