I can’t believe we have now lived in Nashville for over a month! (More like a month+week and a half!) How cliche can we get…but seriously, time flies when you’re having fun! I’d really love to do more personal posts on the blog…so I thought I’d just give a little update on how things are going
So far we’ve had a chance to do a little exploring….including snapping a few pictures at the lovely Centennial Park. Yeah yeah, that’s where everyyyyyyyyone goes to take pictures, but hey, we had to get a little bit of the touristy stuff out of the way
We also explored downtown along Broadway a bit one day, so fun!
Ok, so we’re a little ridiculous and goofy haha. We also went to a show at the Rutledge to hear our friend Jeffrey East open for Jessica Roadcap, super fun! That’s really all the exploring we’ve intentionally done haha…because let’s be honest, it is HOT and HUMID….and I’m a little bit of a wimp. Which I think I’ve managed to work into most conversations….because as it turns out, I’m a little awkward around people I don’t know super well, HA! Who knew?Kidding, kidding. I mean, well, ok I am a little awkward, but we are making tons of fabulous friends so far who don’t seem to care too muchI can’t thank our new photographer friends (and old photographer friends!) enough for making us feel so welcomeYou all are awesome!
We have had lots of adventures so far though! About a week and a
half after we moved in (and after I had already commented on how many wrecks we had seen on Old Hickory Blvd.), we were rear ended at a stoplight. Thank God, no one was badly hurt. It probably should have been way worse than it was! From the picture…you also would probably think the damage wasn’t even that much haha, but turns out it was. We finally found out this week that the insurance company was going to consider it totaled and were able to get a new (to us!) car. Good times!
Another thing we LOVE about Nashville? Frozen yogurt. O.M.G. Menchie’s in Lenox Village is my drug of choice (it’s closest to our house), but Sweet Cece’s is pretty awesome too! We’ve been here long enough to develop an addiction, then have to break the addiction so we wouldn’t break our budget haha.
In photography news….we have booked our first Nashville area wedding! We will be shooting Kristi and Eric’s wedding in October at the gorgeous CJ’s Off the Square in Franklin! We visited CJ’s last week and are pretty much in love…such a gorgeous venue! And it is run by some of the most fabulous women everWe are working on getting to know more of the awesome vendors around the area also. Lots of love to go around in the Nashville wedding market!
Speaking of Nashville weddings…a few weeks ago I got to second shoot for Jamie Clayton, a super fun up and coming Nashville photographer! The wedding was at Christ the King in Nashville, which was just gorgeous! Once the couple sees all their images, I will hopefully be able to share a fewGet excited!
So pretty much, we love it hereI feel like this is turning into pretty much a post about nothing, but I really appreciate you taking the time to take a glimpse into our lives. I’m not gonna lie…it hasn’t been the easiest month of our life. But as our new friend Jonathan Campbell keeps reminding us…it’s ok to be scared. And it’s ok to go after your dreams. And if making it through hard times and being a little scared is going to make us stronger, then we’re well on our wayHehe. It’s so hard to believe that August 1 will be two years we’ve been married, and September 1 will be the second year of the existence of Jennifer Creed | Photographer, and that this is the THIRD year of my life as a wedding photographer! Crazy!
My challenge to you today is to get out and do something that will advance your dream….no matter what it may beHappy Monday everyone, and happy dreaming!
