randi & michael are married!

By | Weddings | One Comment

i’ve been so excited to tell you all about randi & michael for a while now- we met them on a chilly winter day for some hearty, delicious pasta at one of our favorite little places in atlanta. a good start to anything, i think! we quickly learned that randi & michael love food just as much as we do- randi is actually a chef! and next we found out that they are actually into photography as well! aaaand so we love them. that is just how these two are. they are so interesting and interested and they’ve traveled all around the world experiencing so many places and adventures. but they are just so relaxed and down to earth about it all. we walked away from dinner having learned so much about so many different things but really feeling like we just had two new friends! their ever-present smiles are truly an overflow of how much they love life, one another and everyone around them- it’s such a joy to know people like randi & michael.

randi actually got ready at michael’s parent’s home- in his childhood room! i love everything about that.

meanwhile, their guests began to assemble at the ceremony site, enjoying a cold drink as they mingled in the warm afternoon sun:

a close friend of randi & michael performed their ceremony which was so sweet and personal…and pretty quick too! before we knew it they were whisked away for a few quiet moments together:

i really do love this next image. after the ceremony emotions tend to surge- feelings of pure joy mix with relief and excitement and just the magnitude of it all- beautiful:

after a quick look around their dinner setup, randi & michael were introduced and began their first dance as a new family!


randi & michael, we feel so blessed to have been part of your wedding day. you two are just beautiful together and we are glad to know you. we wish you guys the very best and we cannot even wait to see your images from your romantic parisian/italian honeymoon!

mary katherine & nick are married!

OH, these two. they’re just more perfect together than you can imagine. sometimes, you see a couple and immediately feel that they…just…FIT. mary katherine & nick are this way. it’s hard for even close family and friends to articulate how deep their bond goes, how well they complement one another and just how happy everyone is to see them begin their own family. their comfort level together is tremendous and they really do move as if, one. they are so aware of one another, but it’s not conscious, it’s seen in small movements and following their eyes, they just understand one another so intimately. but even through this connection, there is a shared love of their families and friends. their wedding day was full of sweet vignettes- little conversations ending in laughs or hugs or eye squinting smiles- such a beautiful picture of their life together. it was such an honor to capture it all.

i love this quick moment of mary katherine with her mom. they are SO close and nick has such a great relationship with his mother-in-law. it really does speak volumes for how well he treats her precious daughter! ;)

mary katherine & nick were married at the wimbish house, a beautiful and intimate space in midtown, atlanta. the mansion, now event space, provides an atmosphere of hanging out in the home of the bride and groom- so perfect for mary katherine & nick’s easy going personalities:

these next images are just moments after the recessional. i love how beautifully and peacefully they soak up their union:

mary katherine & nick share a love of literature and their wedding decor certainly reflected that! she chose some of the novels i cherish most as her table markers. i really do love her for that! they also used old champagne and wine bottles to help set the scene- perfect, since they met across a restaurant’s bar!

towards the end of the night their guests gathered on the front porch of the wimbish house and enjoyed cigars and after dinner cocktails. these are some of our favorite images:

as the sun set, guests trickeld back inside for some dancing and socializing before calling it a night. what a beautiful, smoothly orchestrated wedding day. courtesy of the wonderful, nicole halverson fantz.


mary katherine & nick, you guys are awesome together! we wish you the very best and we are confident that you guys have such an amazing future ahead of you! thank you both so much for allowing us into your lives to capture your moments together. :)
