colleen & don are married!

By | Weddings | 6 Comments

we first met colleen & don at one of matt’s favorite places in atlanta, taqueria del sol, for a dinner of cross-cultural tacos and lots of talk about house hunting in the city. those two facts alone should give you enough information to know that this was a couple after our own hearts- we knew right away that working with them would be a joy. and thankfully, they decided we were a good fit too! so when the day finally came, we were excited to see them again and ready to create some beautiful images! the naturally stunning grounds of serenbe were all but glittering with sun (forecast? rain.) when we turned onto the lane that saturday morning. we squinted against the flood of yellow sunlight as it blanketed the cool greens and we smiled as every detail of the grounds set the stage for an epic wedding and celebration!

i arrived at the ladies’ cottage just as the florals showed up and ooed and ahhed with everyone else over their delicate colors- the perfect compliment to colleen’s natural elegance. everywhere i looked was a beautiful images waiting to be taken, seriously, look:

as the ceremony drew near, we zipped through fields and forest to arrive just in time to walk down the aisle. i love that matt was in the perfect position to capture this sweet moment between colleen’s parents as they looked over the beautiful scene of their families and closest friends waiting in the clearing for their daughter and her groom. such proud parents:

after colleen & don had an intimate moment to soak in the goodness of their new life together, we began exploring the amazing grounds of serenbe. we could have spent the entire day shooting around the property but there was a party to attend! so we made the most of the time colleen had allotted and loved every second of it:

the reception started with a sweet first dance and continued into a great celebration of dancing, laughing and general fun! the band was full of energy and a few suprises- talking more than one guest into a solo dance on stage! a few of our faves:


colleen & don, thank you so much for including us in your beautiful wedding day! we really loved capturing you guys together- your happiness together is evident and infectious; we wish you the very best!

we first ‘met’ ami on valentine’s day in 2008. she left us some love on our spankin’ new blog and when i linked over to her site an hour passed before i realized it- i was hooked! both relatively new to the wedding world, ami & i found we had a lot in common and our relationship has continued all this time- thank goodness for gchat! we were lucky enough celebrate with her as she and her sweet husband renewed their vows last year in atlanta and we hope to continue the ATL hang outs with a little bark in the park action this fall! i think charlie & stellbell would be fast friends, don’t you? :) anyway anyway, since we love ami so much, we are especially flattered to see jennifer & morgan’s wedding featured on her site- elizabeth anne designs! click around and explore over there- but beware, the eye candy is addicting!

first of all, i’ve never been a huge fan of cake. i grew up with cookies and brownies on my birthday- always avoiding the sponginess of dry, artificially flavored birthday cake. BUT THEN- i grew up! i started going to weddings! i started to work in the wedding industry- an industry fraught with cake obsession- and i had to give it another shot. this time it was different- i LOVED it! fresh raspberries, smooth ganache, rich vanilla- thank goodness i tried it again! i’m pretty sure i’d have been kicked straight out of this industry if things had gone differently… ;)

so it is with that introduction that i introduce you to a perfectly delightful website called cake & pictures -‘an exclusive directory of simply the finest wedding photographers in the world’ where you’ll find a lovely shout out to amy & dan and lil ole altmix photography, thankyouverymuch! so please jump on over to their site to leave them some love and check out the sweetness:
