Make your engagement photoshoot day extra special. Turn it into a fun and memorable date night too! Scheduling a photoshoot for your engagement session is already so exciting because you get to dress up and spend the quality time with your future spouse. I always think it’s a great idea to extend your special day or night by grabbing a bite to eat after or even as simple as getting some ice cream.

I am going to map out a few places you could go for an ‘After Engagement Photoshoot Date Night’ in the Nashville, Franklin, Chattanooga areas here in Tennessee. Make it as simple as you want or as fancy.

Nashville, TN

• Jeni’s Ice Cream: There are a few locations around the Nashville area. This is the infamous ice cream spot that you really cannot go wrong with. They sell premium ice cream with so many different flavor options. Quick and delicious option!
• Pins Mechanical: If you guys are little kids at heart, you have to check out Pins Mechanical. It is a bar and arcade mixed together. They have mini bowling, pinball machines, giant Jenga, ping pong and much more. It is a blast!
• Cheekwood Botanical Gardens: This is for all the nature lovers. This place is beautiful and has 13 gardens, a mansion, and an arboretum you can explore. This is a little more peaceful and laid back. Maybe grab a coffee or ice cream and walk around here afterwards.
• Once Upon a Time in France: Are you a romantic? This is the place to eat dinner after your engagement session. This place has delicious food and an even better atmosphere. They say you will instantly feel like you are in the city of love when you walk in the doors!
• Arrington Vineyards: Maybe you want to have a glass of wine after. This is the place to go. It is stunning and also has the best tasting local wine in town.

Franklin, TN

• Franklin Theatre: This historic theatre is a great place to have a date night after your engagement photoshoot in Franklin. They host live theatre performances, movies, dance performances, music performances and much more. This place is iconic!
• Cork & Cow: This place is outstanding. They offer a high-end dining experience with seasonal menus of classic and experimental dishes. You will be very happy and full after you leave here.
• Stonebridge Art Gallery: If you love art, you must go to Stonebridge Art Gallery. It is a unique and unpretentious gallery and framing studio located in “The Factory” in Franklin, TN. They collect, curate, frame, and sell art from around the world and next door. 

Chattanooga, TN

• Together Cafe: How cute is this name? This is a little coffee shop that serves amazing drinks and has the cutest interior to go with it. Ask them for their signature drinks and just hangout together.
• Chattanooga Aquarium: This is pretty self explanatory! Spend the day or night after the engagement photoshoot looking at fish and all the wildlife from the sea.
• Gooney’s Family Fun Center: I wanted to point this one out for those who love mini putt-putt. This place has two 18-hole mini putting courses. Those who are a little competitive, this is where you will want to go.
• The Hot Chocolatier: Who doesn’t love some chocolate or hot chocolate? This is the sweetest (actually tho!) place ever. You can get artisan chocolate and all different special hot chocolates in all different kinds of flavors.

These are just a few ideas and locations you could go to after your engagement photoshoot if you are in the Nashville, Franklin or Chattanooga areas. You really cannot go wrong with any of them. Make this day or night fun and special!
