Bavly & Mariam's proposal at Cheekwood

The place

A setting for your story.

Acres of botanical gardens around a 1930s Georgian mansion on Nashville's west side, one of the rare venues where the walk itself is a scene. We've filmed a wedding here, in Massey Hall.

Point a camera in any direction at Cheekwood and something is blooming behind the frame.

Every month at Cheekwood blooms differently, and the film's palette follows. Spring runs saturated and soft, summer goes deep green, October trades blossoms for amber in the trees. There's no wrong month here; there's only planning the walking routes around whatever is at its peak.

From behind the camera

  1. Golden hour by the reflecting pools. We guard that window in the timeline
  2. The garden rows are reaction-shot territory; the second camera lives there: a bridesmaid about to cry, a mother holding a tear
  3. Seasonal bloom changes the film's palette. Tell us your month and we plan for it
  4. The mansion steps give the classic wide frame for your exit
  5. The walk between garden rooms is a scene in itself. We choreograph camera handoffs so the film never skips the transitions
  6. We've filmed a wedding here, in Massey Hall, so the planning call starts from rooms we already know

From morning to night

Let the day unfold.

  1. The morning

    The gardens are at their quietest before guests arrive. We open the film with empty-path frames and the mansion in still morning light.

  2. The ceremony

    Two cameras on the vows, mics doubled as always, and the second camera spends real time in the garden rows, because that's where the faces are.

  3. Golden hour

    The reflecting pools at golden hour are the frame this venue is known for. We guard that window in the timeline like it's a vow.

  4. The night

    The mansion steps give the exit its classic wide frame. Sparklers or not, that's the closing shot, and we're set for it before anyone lines up.
