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!

amy & donny are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 5 Comments

amy & donny are academics- so brilliant that you should totally be intimidated by them- but somehow, they are also so warm and full of laughter that you immediately feel comfortable hanging out together and sharing a meal! i don’t know many super-geniuses that i can say that about. ;) aaanyway, their story is just as incredible as they are- they met only 3 weeks before donny moved away from the city they both lived in and they felt such a strong connection that they decided to give the distance a shot! that couldn’t have been easy at all. but here we are, two years later, sharing their engagement photos! and i couldn’t be happier for them. or for us, because they are awesome and we get to shoot their wedding!

something else you should know about donny- he loves trains. really, all forms of transportation. he studies them, refines the systems and makes life better for all of us. or, at least, that’s what i understood of what his doctorate is going to focus on- i maaay have butchered that. ;) anyway! it involves him loving trains. so, when they first contacted us to tell us about their engagement they already had a fantastic plan for their engagement photos- the southeastern railway museum! and it really was perfect. until the wind kicked up and it started pouring rain- but really, even then, they popped out their clear umbrella (purchased in case of this exact scenario) and we powered through for a few more shots! here are just a few of our favorites:

just when we thought the rain had stopped…


amy & donny, we are so glad that we are going to be a little part of your wedding! you guys are such a joy to be around and we really hope that you love these images of the two of you as much as we do!

krystina & brian are married!

By | Weddings | 4 Comments

i really do love the way our workflow plays out- matt does initial sorting & rawing, we separately choose our favorites and i edit them all. the images that overlapped are our ultimate favorites and end up on the blog. it makes sense, right? it…works! MOST of the time.

enter krystina & brian and their awesome wedding day. and ONE HUNDRED overlapping favorite images. a record. we agonized over cutting it down to these 77. yes, this post is going to be THAT long. but i just know you’ll find krystina & brian as compelling as we did! there was so much…life!…to their wedding day. spending the morning with krystina and her best friends was great- every word and action was filled with emotion- be it happiness, love or surprise! it was easy to feel comfortable capturing someone as genuine as krystina- she has such a confidence and wit and no one is ever in doubt as to exactly what she is thinking. she is passionate about her friends and her family and her love for brian is so apparent. but more on that later- we’ve got to start scrolling through these images or we’ll be here all day! i love this sequence matt captured of brian tying a groomsmen’s tie:

a little anonymous introduction to the lovely krystina:

and an equally mysterious introduction to brian:

i just love this series of krystina and her dad as they waited their turn to walk down the aisle. they laughed and talked and fought back tears as they watched their family and bridal party take their places- their relationship really is so special:

one of my favorite images i’ve ever taken:

here comes the groom!

these next three images were all taken while one of krystina & brian’s sweet friends was reading a passage to them- i love the expressions in all of the images, we couldn’t pick just one!

krystina’s parents:

as their recessional played and krystina & brian walked back down the aisle, they didn’t take their eyes off of one another- love these:

krystina & brian broke away from the celebration long enough for a few quiet moments for couple photos around lake lanier- and we are so glad they did:

i’m obsessed with this image- their classic good looks, the colors, the overall feeling…

when we arrived back at the reception everything looked beautiful! krystina’s decor suited their wedding day at lake lanier islands resort perfectly:

the next 14 images are from krystina & brian’s first dance. it was awesome. krystina has been dancing from a very young age and her love and talent shows in these images. what impressed us was brian’s ability to keep up with her! their dance was choreographed, i think, but their excitement and happiness really made it seem so natural- they’re just adorable:

i just feel like i should stop and applaud all over again!

these next few frames are from the thoughtful (and emotional) toasts given by so many of their friends and family members:

and then on to dancing!

someone organized a flash mob. you read that correctly. first, just a few girls seemed to know a dance to a certain song and then a few more jumped in and then even more! before we knew it the dance floor was packed! i love all of the expression in this frame from their dance:


krystina & brian, thank you guys so so much for asking us to be part of your wedding day. you guys are such a beautiful couple and capturing you, together, on this perfect day was such a joy for us. best wishes!
