I love sharing Styled Shoots. Typically, like-minded creatives bring their best ideas and talents to create a vision. My favorites are those that also help a cause. A talented group of people created this mock wedding. More than just fun, the goal of this shoot was to help a beautiful shepherd mix get a home. I’m happy to say it worked! Nashville dog photographer Mandy Whitley photographed this terrific event.
East C.A.N rescued Etta after her previous owner moved and left Etta and two other dogs in the backyard.
From Mandy: “This styled wedding shoot is inspired by the vibrant and artistic East Nashville community that is home to the beloved Riverwood Mansion and incorporates the couple’s love for animals. With a casually intimate ceremony under the shade of a 200-year-old magnolia tree and Southern front porch cocktails, the invitation encouraged guests to bring their furry best friends.
Eclectic decor from the hands of local artisans set the tone for a creative celebration of love.
The doggie details were thoughtful and cohesive with the overall vision while fulfilling our heartfelt mission to find Etta the rescue dog her forever home.
Elegant details, enchanting gardens and the stunning architecture of the historic mansion balanced the playful theme.”
