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!

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.

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.
