Engaged! Marc & Nicole : Roswell, GA

Wow, I’ve been so busy managing my wedding work that I almost forgot to post Marc & Nicole’s engagement photos! These two are getting married in just a few weeks, and I can’t wait. Nicole is a very special person to me. She was one of my Alpha Gam sisters, and she was the maid of honor at the first wedding I ever photographed. She has been a cheerleader and supporter from Day 1 of my business, and I am honored that she invited me to document her wedding. We began their session at Summerour, a beautiful new event venue in Atlanta, and we finished up at the Old Mill in Roswell.

Married! Patrick & Meredith : Atlanta, GA

I had to begin with this photo because it’s one of my favorites:)Meredith and Patrick were good friends of mine during my early years at Georgia Tech, and I feel so blessed to have been a part of their wedding. The photo above was taken at Juniors, which is where they shared their first date. How sweet!

I am a big fan of classic style, so of course I loved Meredith’s dress. It was simple and elegant, and it suited her perfectly. I also love this photo I grabbed of the bridesmaids peeking in on Meredith’s progress. You can tell they’re all overflowing with joy.

Is this not one of the cutest things you’ve ever seen? Meredith’s grandmother is an expert at tying bows, but she can only do it from the front so she had to wrap her arms around Meredith’s waist. What a precious moment!

Meredith’s eyes looked stunning in every picture. They’re beautiful! And I love the way the wind is pulling at her dress in the second image.

Meet Patrick, Meredith’s lucky groom. He is such a gentleman and a sweetheart, and I could not be happier for the two of them.

It’s time to show off another favorite! While Meredith and Patrick prayed together during communion, Patrick placed a gentle hand around his bride’s waist. These sweet little flower girls decided they wanted to snuggle close, too, and the resulting image makes me smile every time I look at it.

The bride and groom rode to the reception together in a classic Rolls Royce.

When we arrived at Georgia Tech, I had a few moments alone with the bride and groom so that we could create some relaxed, romantic photos of them together. They interact so sweetly and naturally together. They were truly a joy to photograph.

The happy couple was going to leave through a path filled with bubbles, but the bubbles were left at the church so that family improvised and pulled some rose petals off of a few flower arrangements. I think the resulting image shows that their efforts were well worth it!

Congratulations, guys! I wish you two a lifetime of joy filled moments together.:)Thank you for inviting me to document your wonderful wedding.

Married! Stephen & Rebekah : Frost Chapel, Rome GA

Rebekah was an absolutely radiant bride. Her smile never faded. You can feel her excitement here as she finishes getting ready with her sister at her side and as she waits to see herself with her veil in place.

Gorgeous? Yes, I think so!:)

I wanted to show off her soft, feminine gown so I asked her to give a little twirl. I love the way it turned out.

I wouldn’t mind shooting in Frost Chapel more often. It’s absolutely beautiful. I love the drama created by the bright light coming in from the windows.

Now that you’ve met the bride, I have to introduce you to the handsome groom. Meet Stephen, AKA guy with the crazy awesome blue eyes.

Music was an important focal point of Rebekah and Stephen’s wedding. They had a bagpiper, fiddler, pianist and an a capella choir.

Rebekah looks so serene walking toward her love.

Again: Frost Chapel is BEAUTIFUL!

These lovebirds jumped on any opportunity they had to get close, even during the ceremony. I love ceremony snugglers!:)

MARRIED! Yey!

This is one of my favorite kind of portrait: sweet, simple and beautifully lit.

I couldn’t decide which of these two I liked better, so I thought I’d just share both. I love the movement and flow of Rebekah’s dress in the first shot, and her expression in the second is so sweet.

Rebekah and Stephen, thank you so much for inviting me to be part of your wedding! It was such a treasure to be able to document your loving and personal celebration.
