Georgia Mountain Wedding : John-Paul + Rachel

John-Paul + Rachel made their wedding day a great reflection of themselves, which meant a whole lot of details, having the reception at a family owned cabin in the mountains of Blue Ridge, GA, and getting married at an old church built in 1911 that Rachel has always loved. It was awesome, Rachel hand crafted so many details herself with the help of family and friends. This wedding had great people and lots of down-home goodness. So glad to have met these two and gotten to photograph their day.

Thank you STYLE ME PRETTY for featuring their wedding!

Rachel was about to walk down the aisle, and her family members standing outside the church with her noticed like fifty bees inside of her wedding dress! There was a yellow jacket nest underneath the stairs that she stood on while she waited to go into the church. Luckily, no bee stings, just a very memorable moment. The entire church couldn’t help but laugh, and it made for some fun moments.

Jenny - Absolutely beautiful pictures! Congratulations Rachel & JP!

Dunaway Gardens Wedding : Jim + Sara

Jim and Sara’s wedding was just breathtaking!! So lovely and magical. They chose Dunaway Gardens for their wedding and reception, and it has so many photogenic nooks and crannies! It was an amazing day and we couldn’t have asked for a better atmosphere for shooting.

The huppah that Sara and Jim were married under was actually built by Jim himself! But first, before the ceremony, Brandon and I had the honor of being present during the signing of the Ketuba. It was such an intimate, special part of the wedding festivities.

Later, at the reception, there were lots and lots of hoola hoops, which all of the guests enjoyed! Hoola hooping is a big part of Sara’s life, and she is AMAZING at it!!!  Another fun part of the reception was the “hora” celebration where the bride and groom are lifted in chairs and surrounded by lots of dancing! Talk about an exciting time! Wow! So much fun!

Sara and Jim, the joy that you two share is contagious, and Brandon and I are so SO thankful that we were able to be a part of your day!

Thank you GREEN WEDDING SHOES for featuring their wedding!

Sara’s father made both her engagement ring and wedding band. I thought that that was so very special!

Michelle - Absolutely stunning work! The hula hoop shots are fantastic!

Callanwolde Wedding : Walter + Emily

The guests arrived at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center and took their seats as the strings played inside. The skies were cloudy and it even rained but just because the skies were not blue and the sun was not shinning didn’t mean that it couldn’t be a beautiful day. Brandon and I always love to photograph outside when ever we can, but the architecture inside Callanwolde provided some amazing photos. One of our favorite parts of Walter and Emily’s wedding was the “second line,” a Louisiana tradition. Walter is from Louisiana, so to pay tribute to his old stomping grounds, they incorporated the second line, which originated in Louisiana. During the “second line,” the bride and groom hold umbrellas, the guests wave handkerchiefs, and a marching band plays “Oh when the saints go marching in.” Everyone marches in a line around the venue. It is such a good time! :)

Thank you ELIZABETH ANNE DESIGNS for featuring their wedding!
