Atlanta Wedding Photographer Lauren Wright : Blog

I love celebrating all sorts of weddings. Big, small, full of details, full of love, full of family and friends and full of quiet moments – I love being a part of every wedding that I get to document. The longer I shoot weddings, though, the more I fall in love with simple, intimate ceremonies and relaxed receptions where the bride and groom actually get to see each other, spend time together and greet all of their guests. There’s something so special about these weddings, and Jan and Michelle’s wedding was a beautiful example of a perfectly intimate wedding. They just love each other, and it’s written all over their faces.

Confession time: I LOVE these photos. LOVE them! It’s taken me a while to share these because there are so many to share, but your wait is over! Karen is a dear sorority sister of mine, and I was so overjoyed to be part of her wedding. She and JT were married in one of the historic chapels on the Berry College campus, and they could not have asked for a more perfect day.

If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you know that I often gush about how much I adore my gorgeous brides and my handsome grooms, and I always talk about how cute my couples are. And let’s face it – I photograph some REALLY beautiful couples – but every once and a while I have the pleasure of photographing two people whose hearts are so beautiful I look at their images and I see more than just what they look like. I see their passion to serve God and to serve others. I see how much light they bring into the lives of the people around them. I see the strength of their families and the determination that they have to build a home that honors their Savior. And I truly believe that I am the one who was blessed to be a part of their wedding. This is one of those couples. Matt and Patti are very different people, but they serve the Lord together with equal joy, and documenting their love reminded me what I love so much about weddings.

So to Matt and Patti, thank you. I hope these images bring as much joy to your hearts as they bring to mine. Thank you for being such great friends.
