Despite Covid pushing our team session back for months, we are still so grateful we were able to travel to Nashville for these team portraits last month! Our team photo-shoot with Sarah Nichole Photography was amazing.
We really love creating this blog post each year so that our friends and couples can get to know US a little better. We share who we are, what we do and 3 fun facts you may not know about us!
