we first met jean only two weeks before her wedding! she had booked us through the mail and we’d corresponded via email so when it came time to meet her face to face we were ready…we thought.
we met her for a cappuccino and she began telling us her story. remember how i said we were ready? not true. the first thing she filled us in on was that she and bj had recently been married. jean laughed at our failure to hide our surprise and explained that bj was canadian and once they moved to atlanta it had been in their best interest to go ahead and tie the knot- we laughed for a while about how much pressure that took off their upcoming wedding! at the end of our meeting, jean left us with a quick warning about how crazy awesome their celebration was going to be. and oh, it was. here are a few of our faves:
the sun was out in full force and it was doing beautiful things with the decor! even the shadows were worth a few images:
old homes with staircases like this always make for interesting shots. i love how full this image is:
jean and her father arrived to the ceremony in a carriage and it was a big hit. the driver was even kind enough to stay after the ceremony and take the little kids for a trip around the block- what a great idea!
the place cards had little bells for the guests to ring and encourage the newlyweds to kiss- no broken glasses at this wedding!
little kids love matt, i think he nailed this next shot:
such a sweet moment during their first dance…
this is my favorite picture of jean; she just looks super stunning here:
jean & bj, it was awesome to spend saturday getting to know you and your families; thank you so much for choosing us to capture it all! you should probably know that matt said ‘eh’ after everything he said for days, haha! no doubt we’ll run into you guys around atlanta- we look forward to it!
that baby is awesome!!! hhahaha
oh my – such great shots! :-) I especially love the baby one!
I knew looking at your pictures on your website you guys were so talented. I had no idea it was possible to capture the wedding day moment by moment to last eternally in beautiful pictures. Thank you so much- now that blur of a fairytale day I can treasure forever. I would not be able to do that with out your amazing eye for photos.
Thanks guys!
Gorgeous photos. You two truly have a gift for capturing the essence of an occasion in a visual image. Several of these pictures make me think of a sweetly haunting musical phrase; their impact lingers.
We enjoyed having you there. You are extraordinarily unobtrusive.

These photos are amazing!!! Jean, you look absolutely BEAUTIFUL in all of them!!!
Matt and Kate – You two really did a great job!! The whole day I kept thinking – I wish I were getting married in Georgia rather than Connecticut so that you two could do our photography! Know anyone in CT that’s as good as you guys? :)
The photos are just as beautiful as the people that were involved in the wedding. Beautiful people, beautiful hearts, beautiful pictures.

These pictures are gorgeous and I cannot wait to see the rest of them. I agree with Sarah- you two are wonderful and I wish that I lived in Georgia so that one day when I get married, I could hire you as well!
It was a beautiful, blessed day and these photos truly capture that.

Matt and Kate these pics are amazing!! You guys did such a great job!
