LGBT Carriage Lane Inn wedding

MaryLynn + Teresa | LGBT Carriage Lane Inn Wedding

Some love stories arrive after years of life experience, reflection, and the wisdom of knowing exactly what your heart has been searching for. That’s the story of MaryLynn and Teresa — two dedicated medical professionals, both with children from previous marriages, who found in each other the love and partnership they had always hoped for.

After four years together, they knew it was time to celebrate their commitment surrounded by those who love them most. And with the uncertainty of changing administrations and what that might mean for couples like them, there was also a beautiful urgency to not wait a moment longer to say yes, forever.

The wedding took place at Carriage Lane Inn in Murfreesboro, beginning in the charming garden courtyard. Beneath the canopy of shade trees, their vows felt intimate, grounded, and deeply personal — the kind of ceremony where love is unmistakable in every glance, every word, every smile.

The celebration moved inside to the historic home’s banquet room, where guests enjoyed the comfort of a climate-controlled space filled with laughter, clinking glasses, and plenty of dancing. The atmosphere was electric — not just from the music and the energy of the reception, but from the overwhelming support of friends and family who came together to honor this union.

MaryLynn and Teresa’s day was a true reflection of who they are: thoughtful, grounded, joyful, and deeply in love. It was more than a wedding; it was a celebration of resilience, family, and finding the person who makes every step forward feel like home.

As their storyteller, I felt honored to document not just a wedding, but a moment in history for two incredible women — a day filled with love, courage, and the beauty of living authentically. The couple wanted an LGBT friendly Nashville wedding photographer who blended into the background, documenting their day as it unfolded naturally—I am privileged to be that photographer of choice. Congratulations to these two lovely brides.
