Cedarmont Farm Wedding in June

If you’ve been researching venues and a Cedarmont Farm wedding keeps popping up on your radar, there’s a reason for that. This Franklin, Tennessee property has it all — the barn, the historic house, the open fields, the intimate getting ready spaces. And you don’t have to sacrifice any of it.

I photographed a summer wedding here and it’s one of the more versatile properties in the greater Nashville area. As a Nashville wedding photographer, here’s what you’d want to know before booking.

Why Couples Love Getting Married at Cedarmont Farm

The thing about Cedarmont is that it doesn’t feel like one venue. It feels like several. Set on 40 acres, the property has rolling hills, open fields, and a pond with a cute little dock. There’s also a restored historic home surrounded by gardens. That variety is everything from a photographer’s perspective. It means no two weddings there look exactly the same.

The main house is charming and full of character without feeling stuffy. It’s also a really beautiful backdrop for first looks and bridal portraits. Right next to the main house is the bridal suite, which overlooks the pool and stone patio. It’s a super pretty space to get ready in, and it photographs beautifully with natural light.

The Ceremony and Reception Spaces

One of the most popular ceremony spots sits right in front of the house. It’s surrounded by trees so even on a bright June day, you have some natural softness to work with. After the ceremony, the open fields nearby are perfect for portraits during golden hour.

The event barn is equally impressive. It has floor-to-ceiling windows, crystal chandeliers, custom lighting, and a cocktail lawn. There’s also a lofted lounge for the groomsmen. It’s a barn that actually feels elevated. The windows make it a dream to shoot during cocktail hour when the light is still coming in.

Honestly, Cedarmont keeps on giving throughout the entire day. First there’s the bridal suite for getting ready photos. Then the historic house for portraits. Then the ceremony space surrounded by greenery, followed by the barn for the reception. Every phase of the day has a distinct and beautiful setting. You never run out of interesting places to be.

Summer weddings do mean dealing with full Tennessee sun for a good chunk of the day. However, the property has enough shade and variety that you can always find a good angle. And once golden hour hits over those open fields… chef’s kiss.

Is Cedarmont Farm the Right Venue for You?

Cedarmont is an all-inclusive venue. That means they handle planning, florals, catering, music, and decor all in one place. For couples who want a beautiful venue without coordinating a dozen different vendors, this is a super convenient choice.

In addition, it’s located in Franklin, just south of Nashville. So it’s easy to get to for guests coming from the city while still feeling completely away from it all. For Nashville couples looking for something outside of downtown, Cedarmont is a great option.

My couples usually tell me the same thing: having me at their wedding felt easy. Like they could actually be present and soak everything in, knowing someone was paying attention without needing anything from them.

That's the whole point.

You're not hiring me to direct you through a shot list or make you perform for the camera. You're hiring me to document your day as it unfolds. The way your mom looked at you during your vows. The toast that made everyone lose it. The moment you two finally exhaled and realized you were married.

If you're planning something outdoorsy, intimate, or a little adventurous, if you value natural moments, and want a photographer who feels more like a friend than a stranger with a camera, then you're in the right place.

You get to laugh, cry, and actually experience what's happening on your wedding day. I make sure nothing slips by. Your photos feel real because the energy behind them was real. No forcing, no performing. Just you, living your day.
