CJ’s Off the Square: Nashville Outdoor Wedding Venue

CJ’s Off the Square is a romantic Nashville outdoor wedding venue. If you’re a bride planning a garden wedding or you want to incorporate elaborate romantic floral arrangements, Maelyn’s and Dawson’s wedding is sure to leave you inspired.

The day started with a few clouds and a bit of rain. Unexpected rain can bring unwanted stress to your wedding day, but I always try to encourage my couples to embrace their day for what is it. No matter what the weather turns out to be, we will work together to guarantee your priorities are captured with intention and great care.

Maelyn chose to get ready at The Harpeth Hotel located a couple blocks away from CJ’s. I also stayed at the hotel and had the best experience. I definitely recommend The Harpeth for bridal parties, family, and wedding photographers for a convenient and luxury experience.

We captured the couple’s first look on the porch due to the rain. Their private vows spoke of tender promises and many heartfelt tears were shed. If you’re nervous about sharing your vows during your ceremony, exchanging them during your first look is a great alternative.

The rain cleared out just in time for their evening ceremony. With a beautiful glow of sunlight and the melodies of the quartet playing in the background, Maelyn and Dawson said ‘I do’ in the tranquil gardens of CJ’s Off the Square.

The florals encapsulated this venue perfectly. Everyone was in awe of the stunning arrangements by Cali Roots Design. I felt as if I had stepped into an enchanted fairy wonderland. I can’t imagine a prettier color pallet for the modern/romantic bride.

This wedding was a dream. From the couple to the venue, this day (and these florals) will forever be one of my favorite weddings I have ever been honored to photograph. If you’re looking for a Nashville outdoor wedding venue, consider checking out CJ’s Off the Square website for more information.

You desire an approach that is relaxed, unhurried, and centered entirely around you. With gentle posing guidance you when you need a little direction and space to let sentimental moments unfold. There’s no pressure to perform or rush through the day—just space to be present, enjoy each other, and let your connection take the lead. From our first meeting to gallery delivery, the experience is shaped around what matters most to you.

Getting to know you is one of my favorite parts of this work. I want our relationship to feel familiar long before your wedding day, so that when the day arrives, my camera feels like a natural extension of the celebration—not a stranger watching from the sidelines. By the time you get married, you know me, trust me, and feel comfortable having me there for the intimate parts of the day.

My couples come to me specifically for a relaxed, intentional experience where they feel known, cared for, and completely themselves. 

Known for professional, timely communication *and* stunning imagery, because you shouldn't have to choose.
