Katie & Tom’s Wedding at the ACAC

By Matt Altmix | Weddings | No Comments

Katie & Tom live in Chicago, they were married in Atlanta, and celebrated with a karaoke band from Canada. They are very much in love with one another, their friends, and life in general, and the aura of happiness around them pulled everyone into their celebration. Also, karaoke was a fantastic idea, why haven’t we seen that before? I couldn’t help but laugh as we worked through these photos in preparation for sharing them here- there were just so many amazing moments during their day and it started with their very closest friends, a couple mimosas, and plenty of smiles and encouragement.

Why didn’t I wear a blue suit for my wedding? Gentlemen take note:

We love shooting at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center. The mix of modern and industrial is nice and the possibilities with the space are endless! Katie & Tom made it their own by adding a backdrop and incorporating more blue and natural details inside- look for more details later in the post.

Family style- such a sweet and intimate way to serve your guests. Since this reception felt like everyone was one big family- it was perfect to serve dinner this way. Love it.

Check out this little isolated spot for a few more couple portraits- I love how soft and peaceful these look.

Meanwhile, rockaraoke was in full swing! The band had a list of songs (tons and tons of songs) that they could play so when you went up to sing you were accompanied by a full band- everyone is a rockstar!

Katie & Tom, congratulations! We are so happy for you two and thank you for allowing us to capture such a beautiful day.

caitlin & wes are married!

By Kate Altmix | Weddings | One Comment

i’m sitting here stumped, trying to decide where to even start with these two. matt and i have so much respect for them- their passion for helping, encouraging and supporting others seems limitless, their energy and happiness is contagious, and they are just so much fun to be around! we share their love of great food, great drinks and great times surrounded by our favorite people- which makes their very special wedding day one of our favorite to date! matt and i got married lots of years ago, when we were really young and pretty clueless about weddings, but if we were to get married now our celebration would look pretty close to exactly like caitlin & wes’s day. they supported some of our very favorite atlanta businesses and had an awesome time in the process- perfect! they started their day early in the morning by running a race together to raise money for the winship cancer institute at emory, what a beautiful start to their marriage. these two are just the best!

i really love this next image of caitlin- she is stunning! -she is also kind, strong, passionate and smart and i think this image captures it all. :)

as the sun set during caitlin & wes’s wedding, a beam of light traveled up through the congregation, illuminating everything in it’s path. by the end of the ceremony it was resting on caitlin & wes- the beauty of those final few moments of their ceremony was not lost on anyone. :)

caitlin & wes celebrated their marriage at monday night brewery– the perfect spot for a relaxed, awesome party. this was the first wedding reception we’ve photographed in their space and i highly recommend it to anyone looking to serve their guests delicious, carefully crafted brews in a comfortable, post-industrial environment. you should also serve gelato sandwiches because, well, they are the most wonderful treat ever and they are also carefully crafted in atlanta- by honeysuckle gelato and the cookie studio. and before the sandwiches, you should definitely serve the best bbq in atlanta. are you starting to get a feel for how awesome this day was??

recognize these two? we photographed caitlin’s sister’s wedding almost two years ago! it was awesome to see so many familiar faces!

wes, speedskater:

caitlin & wes, thank you both so much for having us! we had a great time capturing all of the beautiful moments of your celebration- what a great day it was! happy marriage!

Jules & Rob’s Wedding at the Biltmore Hotel

By Matt Altmix | Weddings | 4 Comments

***Update: to hear about this beautiful day from the bride, herself, click through to this post on Style Me Pretty***

Jules & Rob are the kind of people who live dreams. They actually do the things most people just think about- they fell for each other while Rob was in New York for a weekend filming a documentary, and Jules moved across the country so they could be together just three months later. A year and a half later they made the move to Atlanta and together they explored and embraced their new city. One year later they were engaged and planning the wedding of their dreams- a celebration filled with old Hollywood glamor, 1920s allure and enchanting details. Jules & Rob are genuine, passionate and happy- the kind of couple you feel privileged to know. It wasn’t easy to narrow down the images we wanted to share with you, but for now, here are our absolute favorites.

Jules & Rob, thank you so much for including us in such a spectacular celebration! We enjoyed capturing every minute of your wedding day- there was so much goodness all around. We wish you the best!
