tiffany & andrew, i love how your beautiful and calm day led straight into a serious dance party – i like your style! :)

ahhhh, we’d almost forgotten what a weekend in our little home is like!!  matt and i actually had this weekend off, our first non-shooting weekend since March 8th, what?!  …to confirm your suspicion – yes, we’re nuts.  although nuts works for us, no?

we relaxed. after meeting with our newest bride saturday (who is planning a fabulous indian wedding at lake lanier :) ), we grabbed coffee and headed over to atlanta’s newest claim to fame, h&m.  filled to the brim with affordable style matt quickly dubbed it ‘the ikea of clothing’ while i settled on ‘heaven.’  it was sad (but probably good) that they were totally out of smaller sizes for us but we left with some sweet accessories and plans to return soon!  

from there we scoured a few thrift stores for a tandem bike to fulfill matt’s dream of us saving gallons of gas in style(?).  no luck on the bike or finding matt a vintage suit vest (another unique item he has his heart set on) but we aren’t giving up!  i can’t give up – how studly would my huz look in a slim little vest!?  that’s right!  ;)  

…moving on!  we wrapped up the weekend with a visit from my family to celebrate father’s day.  i cooked a gross combination of dad’s favorite foods so we spread out the eating experience over the whole day so we didn’t have to look at (for example) monkey bread and buffalo wings at the same time.  ugh, i’m still full and i’ll likely still be full tomorrow at this time, totally worth it since i have the best dad ever!  well on this lovely note i better get to sleep; we’ve set some intense goals for this week and i need to be ready to go in the am!  love!

ashley & joel are engaged!

this past sunday despite the oppressive humidity ashley and joel rocked their engagement shoot!  we met up with them during our favorite time of day, the golden hours, at the savannah rapids pavilion in augusta, georgia.  i noticed their connection right away; it can be difficult to feel comfortable with the camera right from the start but these two were so into each other they had very little trouble ignoring the lens. ;)  they told us how they got engaged and the way they took turns telling parts of the story was so perfect and sweet, i only know them a little and it made me so happy that they are together!  matt and i left the shoot more excited than ever about their wedding day and until then ashley and i will certainly keep in touch thanks to our parallel cooking obsessions!  without further ado, here are a few of our favorite images!

ashley and joel, when i said you guys rocked your shoot i meant it!!  you guys did an awesome job and i hope you love your images!  

tiffany & andrew are married!

when you know you just know; and tiffany and andrew knew.  

they met at a thanksgiving dinner, got engaged on a skydiving trip three months later and were married last weekend in the quaint little town of sandersville, ga.  like i said, when you know you know! :)

their wedding day was calm and smooth.  tiffany’s direction to the florist was just ‘pink’ and the florals were beautiful; she hired vendors she trusted and let them do what they do best, quite impressive!  the ladies danced and sang to some of their favorite old songs as they casually curled their hair and munched on fruit and cheese before heading down the aisle.  

a rare moment of sweet serenity for this energetic cart-wheeling flower girl!

i was really touched to see these two images and really wanted to show them together.  seeing these pictures like this speaks volumes to where their hearts were all day and says a lot about them as a couple.  love it. 

andrew and his older brother scott just before the ceremony.

this cake was stellar!  so creatively and carefully decorated…i probably took waaay too many pictures of it! :)

a quick break for a few outdoor couple shots before resuming partying!

matt and i are both pretty in love with this picture of grandma: :)

tiffany and andrew you two are incredible together!  it was so sweet to watch you enjoy one another and your loved ones, you have a very special group of people to encourage you in your new life together!  thank you so much for asking us to be part of your day!
