Though the rain clouds looked dark and threatening on Saturday, they weren’t going to dampen Nicole’s spirits. Even when a light sprinkle caused a ceremony delay, she was completely calm. Nothing could upset her, because Saturday was her wedding day, and regardless of whether or not the rain held off or came down in sheets, at the end of the day she would be Mrs. Marc Felice, and that’s all she cared about.

Marc & Nicole’s wedding was held at the beautiful Glen Errol Estate in north Atlanta, and it was a beautiful setting for their intimate outdoor celebration. The grounds were absolutely beautiful, and I had a wonderful time wandering around the Estate with the two of them during their portrait time. These two are truly each others best friends. They love each other, encourage each other, strengthen and support each other in times of joy and of great sorrow, and it was wonderful to be a part of their wedding. I hope you enjoy their photos as much as I do!

Nicole’s dad passed away a few years ago, so she had her florist tie his wedding band and a photo of him to her bouquet so that he would be with her as she walked down the aisle.

Doesn’t she look stunning? Wow!

Thanks to Tim Harman for coming to second shoot with me! While I was hanging out with the girls, he grabbed a few shots of the guys. Doesn’t Marc look so handsome in his khaki suit?

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Felice!

Nicole really wanted to take photos down by the lake, so that’s where we started.

Favorite!

Oh how I loved being a part of this wedding! Like Christine, Amanda, Corrie and Rebecca, Erika is one of my Alpha Gam sisters. I met her when we were both freshmen in college, and I was so excited when she called to tell me she wanted me to photograph her wedding. As you may remember from their engagement session earlier this year, Dan and Erika are an amazing couple. They are thoughtful and intelligent and their love is beautifully simple. They just love being together.

One of the many things that I love about Erika is that she is seriously stylish. She loves tall, pointy shoes, tailored suits and fabulous cocktail dresses. I knew that her wedding would be full of amazing details, and she did not disappoint! I went a little crazy photographing all of the details, and I tried to cut down how many I shared here, but I just couldn’t help myself. Everything was so beautiful, so I hope you enjoy seeing everything!

Her wedding was full of vibrant, warm fall colors. I adored her bouquet. Isn’t it lovely?

This was one of my favorite details from the day. Dan and Erika wanted to have a truly unique way to remember their guests, so they set out treasure chests full of stones which their guests signed. Of course I had to join in the fun!

Say hello to the beautiful bride…

… and to her handsome groom.

Dear Erika: You are flawless. The end.

I had the pleasure of having my good friend Mark Turner along to second shoot with me. He grabbed this shot.

While I was grabbing this one. It’s so fun having a second photographer around to capture all of the different angles!

Like I said: sweet and simple.

Hello gorgeous

I love capturing these in between shots. Dan was just helping Erika walk through the squishy wet grass, but it turned into a cute photograph.

Everyone spent most of the morning wishing the rain clouds away. The clouds didn’t budge, but it didn’t rain either. I think Erika appreciated the compromise. She opted to have both her dad and step dad walk her down the aisle, which I thought was really sweet.

The Windermere Gold Club is a beautiful place for a wedding. I love the willow trees.

Dan and Erika wrote their vows together, but they left two lines blank so that each of them could write a surprise promise to the other person. Erika spent a large chunk of her morning working on coming up with something romantic and personal. Dan decided to go the true and hilarious route, and this was Erika’s response. Priceless!

Married!

Again: I went a little crazy with the details. I won’t apologize, though. They were worth going crazy over, and they are definitely worth sharing.

I love the way Dan and Erika hold each other.

I love this, too. Dan wrapped his arms around Erika as they watched their parents and other guests dancing together. Do I need to say it? Yep, it’s cute!

Confession time: These might be some of my favorite engagement photos. No, really. I know I’m not supposed to have favorites, but I can’t help it. I love these Rebecca is one of my sorority sisters. I lived with her for a year when I was in college, and she was Christine’s maid of honor. She is one of the sweetest, most joyful people I’ve ever met, and she and Trey are so cute together. Every smile shared between them is genuine. Every kiss is a foot-popping kiss. They love to laugh and dance together. Long story short: they were a dream to photograph. I hope you enjoy their photos as much as I do!

Don’t you just love Rebecca’s plum colored dress?

Favorite!

Rebecca brought along her white dress specifically so that she could wear these bright red shoes. She’s a girl after my own heart! She told me all about her super cute wedding shoes, and I can’t wait to see them in September.

More favorites This house was absolutely beautiful. It looked empty, so we took the opportunity to shoot on the front porch.

When I first talked to Rebecca and Trey about where they wanted to do their engagement session, they mentioned that they were outdoorsy people, so I knew immediately that Serenbe would be the perfect location. Don’t you think so?

I don’t get to see sunsets this color very often, so I’m always really excited when I get to see one in Georgia.

Rebecca and Trey, you guys ROCK! I can’t wait to celebrate your wedding with you in September!
