no doubt you remember laura & matt from their rockin’ engagement session; it still has to be one of our favorite ever. after hanging out with them that afternoon we were ecstatic (to put it mildly ;) ) to shoot their wedding; they are so amazing to work with- full of creativity and smiles and love! laura and i have stayed in close contact talking details and sharing excitement; really by the time july 12th rolled around i felt such a happiness for them i couldn’t even wait to start shooting! …but i did, seeing as i arrived juuust as everyone was waking up, making it quite unpopular that i was even holding a camera! after some chick-fil-a everyone was ready for the day, quality atlanta cuisine will do that to ya! (man do we love cfa around here!) let’s start the day with hair, by the fabulous rachelle talley. she flew through unique style after unique style and still found time to help with makeup! she’s working on opening up her new salon so at the moment she’s in transition, contact me for her info if you’re interested. ok back to the day, i can’t ever resist a spray shot:

finishing touches before we head to the carl house:

while laura and her ladies packed their wedding gear into the cars the flower girls chased butterflies, how perfect is that? definitely like a movie, except for all of the buds they stripped off the poor plant each time a butterfly landed on a flower…still, just adorable:

finally we arrived at the carl house and after a few checks to make sure matt was nowhere in viewing distance of laura we dashed inside to the bridal room to finish getting ready:

across the hall the boys were relaxing and savoring the ac:

suddenly, it was time:

and then it was finished and we snapped a few shots of mr. and mrs. matt godfrey enjoying their first few moments of marriage before it was time to get the party rollin’. rarely do we mess with color but we were feeling the vintage look with this shot:

i am in love with this next picture! high five to my husband who managed to capture this flash, we always get excited when that happens (read: we are huge nerds, haha):

laura, such a classic and beautiful image:

ooo yeay! our first wedding with a candy bar!  laura had so many beautiful candies with adorable little favor boxes to create your own mix. i totally love this idea and the guests really enjoyed it too:
