sarah & wilson are married!

By | Weddings | No Comments

saturday morning we woke up smiling. we knew the day ahead was going to take us to some of our most cherished places and we knew that sarah & wilson would have a wedding day full of sweetness and laughter. how blessed we are! i finished my once-a-week hair and makeup routine (weekdays are really chill around here… ;)) and we stopped in at the little coffee shop down the street before heading to the classic city- athens, georgia. we arrived early to scout locations for sarah & wilson’s couple photos and also to wander around the gardens where we celebrated our own marriage almost 5 years ago! when it was time, matt and i split up to capture the finishing touches of the getting ready process before we met back again for sarah & wilson’s sweet first look. as you’ll see, sarah surprised wilson with a stunning guitar and they spent a few quiet moments before their ceremony just sitting together while wilson played and sarah just relaxed and smiled. it was such a naturally beautiful and peaceful time for them to refocus on one another and the love they share. i really admire the way these two were able to shut out the bustle of the day and soak up every moment they were able to spend together. they make me smile. :)

i really love this image matt captured of the guys relaxing before walking down the aisle:

after the ceremony we grabbed a few more quick images of the two of them together before joining the party in the conservatory!


this next image is matt’s favorite ;)

sarah & wilson, thank you so much for allowing us to capture such a beautiful day! we really enjoyed being part of your celebration and re-living our own at the same time- thank you! :) we wish you guys the best!

kristen & ben are married!

By | Weddings | 3 Comments

we talk to lots of couples who are surprised to find themselves a little overwhelmed by the wedding planning process. truthfully, even when we were planning our own wedding matt & i had a few conversations about dropping everything and eloping! looking back, we’ve decided just a couple of things should always be considered: what is important to you as a couple about your wedding day and what would make your day most enjoyable and memorable for you and those you love. for some people that looks like a big dance party celebration in the city, for some that looks like a casual, southern affair in a converted barn and for most, i’d say the vision falls somewhere in the middle. either way, realizing what is perfect for your wedding day goes a long way towards defining your enjoyment and memories of your wedding. kristen & ben are the perfect example of a couple whose wedding was built around what would make them the most comfortable and relaxed on their wedding day. they decided to keep their guest list very intimate and their schedule liquid and open. their wedding and reception was held on the porch of a local restaurant, where friends and family gathered to sip cocktails and catch up over lunch. the atmosphere was calm and casual and kristen & ben were able to sit back and chat with their family and friends in a natural and easy way. such a perfect way for kristen & ben to spend their reception! :)

in keeping with the theme of family, kristen’s grandfather preformed the ceremony- his message to the couple was so sweet:


kristen & ben, thank you so much for having us capture your wedding day. we wish you the very best!

crystal & daniel are married!

By | Weddings | 3 Comments

crystal & daniel are best friends. they’ve seen each other through so many of life’s twists and turns and, as friends, they encouraged one another through everything. they share a passion for intentional community and seeing them surrounded by so many close friends on their wedding day made obvious how important they are in the lives of so many. but crystal & daniel don’t just share a deep love for their friends and family, they also share a passion and determination to help the less fortunate all over the world. it was through serving and sharing this passion that they fell in love. currently, they are both working with nonprofits, impacting the world around them with an incredible amount of energy and love. together, they are a powerful force of good- bringing happiness and healing to whoever is blessed to meet them. crystal & daniel are two people who share one heart. for us, spending a day with them and listening to their friends and family speak about their selflessness and dedication to making our world a better place, was such a blessing and such a joy to capture. here are a few of our favorite images from their day:

crystal & daniel allotted plenty of time for portraits after their ceremony- we loved it! :) we drove to several locations and explored a variety of landscapes:

FAVORITE:

reception time!

while crystal’s dad gave his speech, daniel’s dad translated his words into english- it was a happy but emotional time for everyone and seeing the friendship between their two families was so sweet:


crystal & daniel, we feel so blessed to have been a part of such a beautiful celebration and the beginning of your new life together, thank you. we wish you the very best!
