sometimes i forget how beautiful georgia really is- i get carried away with the misty mountains of north carolina or the sandy beaches of california and i forget, just for a second, how beautiful it is here. but it doesn’t last long- photography is the perfect career for reminding me to notice the beauty everywhere we find ourselves. and it’s especially easy to do so on beautiful afternoons in early fall, surrounded by swirling blue water, the first hints of fall color and a lovely couple in the midst of it all. we’re so glad we spent this afternoon capturing kate & stephen and we are looking forward to their wedding next year!
kate & stephen, thank you for such a great afternoon! we so appreciate you guys being willing to climb down banks and into the brush for these shots. :) we look forward to your wedding celebration!
i’ve known margaret for at least 12 years- maybe longer- and although i can’t remember the very first time i met her, she’s always stood out in my mind as one of the strongest women i know. she’s fiercely loyal, deeply caring and always ready with a witty quip that will never fail to elicit laughter or an ‘amen!’ she’s one of those people that keeps you on your toes- i can never guess what she’ll be up to next- in the last couple of years alone she’s become an inspiration to many as she’s jumped head first into running and working out, she’s worked tirelessly to complete her doula training so that she can encourage and support families during birth, and most importantly, she and adam have grown into a beautiful family and decided to get married. just beautiful. :) though i don’t know him quite as well, adam seems to be the perfect partner for margaret in every way. they match each other wit for wit and their relationship is full of laughter and the sly smiles that come with inside jokes and a deep understanding of the other. adam is a multitalented musician, producer and father and it’s so sweet to see margaret swoon when he’s around- she’s clearly smitten. capturing their wedding was such a joy!
margaret’s mom and best friend, emily, never left her side- it was so sweet and intimate to spend my time with just the three of them as they relaxed together before the ceremony.
meanwhile, matt was hanging out with adam as he helped his son, paul, finish getting ready- i love the tenderness in these images.
when you’re music lovers like margaret & adam, you call on awesome bands like ruby velle and the soulphonics and blackfoot gypsies and dance the night away!
margaret & adam’s wedding took place during one of the largest music festivals of the year- jazzfest. when they found out they chose to think this was the perfect setting for their wedding rather than feel stressed- love them for that! it ended up being the most perfect atlanta day full of people having a good time with friends and family and everyone enjoying the music together- so very margaret & adam. :)
mmtm & adam, thank you both so much for including us in this celebration- capturing every moment was a joy! we wish you the very best!
