last saturday was the perfect day for a wedding. the fall air was a little crisp and the sun was kicking through the trees at the gardens at great oaks in roswell, georgia. it was anna and ray’s day- a day they had been waiting seven years for, a day so beautiful they deserved it. they were in high school when it all started; the first date was to stone mountain where they returned years later for a surprise engagement! i always get excited when i meet a couple who has come as far as they have; it bodes so well for a long and happy future. there are no doubts about this couple! here are a few of our favorite shots; let’s start off with anna’s great grandmother’s earrings. she wore them in her hair for her ‘something old,’ and they were stunning. what a creative idea!

there were lots of beautiful ladies ready for the bouquet toss:
anna & ray, thank you so much for having us! we loved how calm yet exciting your day was. we so respect your long commitment to each other and we wish you the best for years to come! i am so jealous of your asheville honeymoon, what a perfect choice for this time of year! i’m sure we’ll run into you soon, we look forward to it! congratulations!
some great ones. i expect no less.
These wedding photos are awesome! Ya’ll did a great job!
Anna looks beautiful and you captured her wedding so perfectly! :-) as usual, amazing!
kudos should go to anna for being so fearless when it came to laying in the grass- AWESOME!!! i absolutely love the shot of her dress from directly above, just might be my fav from this wedding…
I have to admit, Matt, the shot I called the dead bride picture at the wedding ended up being one of my favorites, too! They look so great, I can’t wait to see the rest! Thanks to you both for being so awesome!
I love the one of the bride fixing her veil. Her eyes look luminous.
