katie & ryan are married!

By | Weddings | 8 Comments

i’ve talked about this before but when we first met katie i immediately liked her- her obvious excitement and impressive organization struck me first, immediately followed by the realization that she’s one of those girls that you can’t help but admire. she’s naturally beautiful (it would make anyone crazy to know the amount of makeup she wore on her wedding day- close to NONE.), quick witted and kind. she is just so down to earth and inclusive- always looking out for others and caring for them, even when they least expect it- like on HER wedding day. i spent the morning of katie & ryan’s wedding capturing her as she complimented her bridesmaids as they finished up their own hair and makeup and talked with them about their own lives as if it was just any other day. if katie felt any nerves she certainly didn’t show it as she lounged in a perfectly casual oxford and sandals and chatted away- making sure everyone was enjoying her wedding morning. as the day went on i realized a couple more details about katie- one i suspected already- she has impeccable taste in fashion and two, she seriously knows how to let loose and have fun. all in all, it was the perfect day to be a photographer!

you guys, THIS DRESS! simply amazing. i love how the ruffles seem almost casual as they flip and curl in every direction. and then there’s the overall silhouette- so chic:

ryan! so dapper in his own tailored tux. classy:

katie & ryan decided to have their first look at their ceremony site- but to reverse the roles! so katie waited in the front as ryan walked in from the back, such a sweet moment:

this church is very special to katie and her family- her mom and dad were married here and so was her sister! so, taking pictures inside the sanctuary was a must:

after a little break (where katie changed back into her oxford to relax-good call), it was time for the ceremony to start:

we stayed after the ceremony for a few family portraits in the sanctuary and, as the families were gathering, matt grabbed this shot of the newlyweds having their own sweet moment in the midst of the post ceremony excitement:

from the church we headed to the tellus science museum for their reception. when we arrived, the sun was low and the grounds of the museum were washed in gold- we were so glad katie & ryan were willing to take some extra time for a few more couple photos:

then it was on to the reception!

i love this image from the garter toss- as much as we love our lights, sometimes shooting ambient is just so beautiful:

katie enjoyed the first half of the reception in her wedding dress before changing into another, more casual but equally fabulous dress before the real dance party kicked in.


katie & ryan, love you guys. and congratulations! thank you so much for letting us be a part of your wedding- we so enjoyed capturing you guys!

sarah & jonathan are married!

By | Weddings | 6 Comments

over the past few years that we’ve been in business matt and i have slowly adapted to planning everything in life about a year in advance. special occasion weekends are permanently blacked out and we are always googling weekend festivals and events we want to attend only to find out that they haven’t even set a date yet! planning so far in advance works for most things but every once in a while we find ourselves looking at a blocked off date with a decision to make. luckily, in this case, that decision was a BREEZE. so, instead of running the grueling publix georgia half marathon we had on the calender, we very quickly changed that to shooting sarah & jonathan’s wedding celebration. so for that, and many other reasons, i love them. :)

people often ask us about our favorite weddings and we always give the same answer- the best weddings are the ones where people have the time of their lives- dancing, laughing and enjoying every single second of the day. from now on we may just send them the link to sarah & jonathan’s wedding. seriously, it was so awesome. sarah & jonathan are so blessed to have such deep, beautiful relationships with their friends and families and also for their friends and families to be so close to one another! capturing the love and unity around us was almost overwhelming! in such a good way. ;) everyone laughed from the depths of their bellies and big tears were always accompanied by even bigger grins. there was an almost tangible excitement that ran through their wedding day; from beginning to end it was an honor to be there to capture it.

matt’s first stop of the day was one of our favorite spots in atlanta, brick store. jonathan and a few of his groomsmen spent the first part of his wedding day just as any good beer-company-in-planning executive should.

meanwhile the ladies were laughing and awwing as they asked sarah to recount her engagement story. from there they reminisced about all that led them to where they were that day and there were sweet hugs and smiles and more laughter and not even a hint of anxiety among them!

sarah & jonathan decided to see one another before their ceremony so we could take our time with couple portraits, yess!

sarah & jonathan chose to get married at the same church where her parents were married which is just so meaningful! when we arrived at the church after couple portraits, sarah’s mom pulled us aside and showed us this perfect little room where she had one of her own wedding portraits taken. sarah & jonathan were up for a few more and we are so so glad! these are some of our favorite images from their day!

sarah & jonathan’s reception at the old decatur courthouse started on a high and stayed there. their first dance song was brilliantly performed by a couple of their close friends and after the cheering from that moment died down jonathan’s masterfully created playlist began. and continued. all night. it was fabulous.

sarah & jonathan brought some props to pass around once the dancing really got started- GREAT idea! everyone loved it:


sarah & jonathan, thanks so so much for allowing us to be part of such a wonderful day! we are SO excited for you guys and we hope to hang out soon and hear about your st. john getaway!
