Couple session · Nashville
In short
Couple session in Nashville starts at $325: 90 min on location with a photographer who works in Nashville, and 40 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 48–72 hours.
Why choose Couple session in Nashville?
A couple session in Nashville is a 90-minute anniversary or just-because shoot at two locations within walking distance, returning 40 retouched images within 48 to 72 hours, priced from $325. Downtown Nashville makes that walking rule easy: the Cumberland River, the skyline and the neon of Lower Broadway sit within roughly a ten-minute walk of each other. The one stop on that route that needs paperwork is the most photographed one, the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge, which Metro Nashville treats as a permitted film and photography location.
Worth knowing about Nashville
The Nashville Department of Transportation film permit, which covers still photography on Metro property, carries a $130 application fee and requires at least three business days’ notice. Using the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge needs a further usage agreement and its own fee of $200 for up to one hour, so a Nashville couple session on the bridge is filed for days ahead.

FAQ — Couple session in Nashville
Do we need a permit for couple photos on the Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge?
Yes, for a professional shoot. The Metro Nashville Office of Film and Special Events requires a Nashville Department of Transportation film permit, with a $130 application fee, at least three business days ahead, plus a separate John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge usage agreement costing $200 for up to one hour.
Which two Nashville locations work for a 90-minute couple session?
A river-and-skyline stop and a neon stop work best for a Nashville couple session, because the Cumberland riverfront and Lower Broadway are about ten minutes apart on foot. Couples who skip the bridge paperwork can swap in Shelby Bottoms Greenway in East Nashville, a short drive away, for open fields instead of the city.
