erica & garey are married!

By | Weddings | 2 Comments

when we first met erica & garey it was for drinks and snacks at a cozy little bar near our house. i smile thinking back on that evening because it was when we first realized what an inspiring life erica & garey lead. their enthusiasm for everything is contagious and their hearts are huge. i don’t know that we’ve met another couple so down to earth who live their life so purposefully. not a day passes where i haven’t heard of them biking more miles than i can imagine, rallying a bunch of friends for dinner or attending or volunteering for something awesome that i’ve never heard of! they’ve even finished full triathlons to raise money for charities close to their hearts- so now do you love them as much as we do? thought so. now, let’s move onto the day of their wedding- an absolutely perfect fall day in atlanta! the guys spent the morning catching up and enjoying a few good brews while the ladies chatted and snacked on amazing treats from lotta frutta and took turns having their hair and makeup perfected:

the ladies arrived at the old decatur courthouse together and stepped out into the most beautiful warm sunlight! we took a few minutes for portraits before the guys arrived to do the same:

back inside, sheltered from the wind, the girls relaxed together waiting for the ceremony to begin:

erica & garey were all about getting some awesome couple shots! we took our time and explored random corners and walls in downtown decatur- ending the shoot in a dramatically lit parking deck for some glamor before heading back to the courthouse for the party!

the party started the minute erica & garey arrived- guests cheered, high-fived and generally celebrated as the couple made their way to the dance floor for their first dance as mr. & mrs.:

well, i just realized that we posted tons of pictures from their recessional from the ceremony and now we’re about to post a bunch more of them leaving their reception- i guess they are just excellent at making epic exits? i mean that in the nicest way possible!! seriously, some of our favorite exit shots ever:


erica & garey, love you guys! you’re such an amazing couple to spend a day with and we really are honored that you guys chose us to capture everything. hope you are loving married life; we look forward to seeing you guys soon!

the golden months

so, fall is upon us! i didn’t want to talk about this too soon and jinx the crispness right out of the air (um, STARBUCKS) because atlanta is fickle about letting go of her strangling humidity and heat. but, i hope i can finally say it’s fall. autumn. the golden months. my favorite time of year.

jut a few days ago i woke up to 50 degrees and glorious sun so after happily digging out sweats & long sleeves to walk stella with matt, i headed out to embrace fall. i quickly lost myself among the soup veggies at the farmers market and followed that with a similar black out experience on the baking aisle at the grocery store a few days later. all that really means is we ended up with TONS of fall fare before i even really considered if we could eat it all. thank goodness for our little half-freezer as it is now burgeoning with carrots, celery, parsley, basil, cabbage, green onions, beans, peas & tomatoes all chopped and ready to be thrown into a pot. we really should have a soup party and then serve lots of baked goods for dessert as my pantry is similarly stuffed with fall baking goodness. party time!

all this to say, i feel most inspired at this time of year. watching stella gallop (yup, i should post a video of this phenomenon) around the back yard invigorated by the cool air i find i can relate. matt & i have been finally getting around to some house projects we’ve avoided all summer- back yard work to prepare for our gardens in the spring, replacing some boards and repainting the front porch and we even potted some MUMS for a little color (moms everywhere applaud!). but in addition to the housework, we’re dreaming. somehow this is more of a goal setting season for us than new years and we’re coming up with a lot of ideas and goals for the next year- personal & business. so as i sit here coffee in hand, the cool breeze blows through the window beside my workspace and i’m reminded that we have a beautiful life. despite it’s kitchy-ness, we really are blessed with so much and i only hope we do the very best we can with all of it. happy fall, friends! you mean so much to us!
