we first met jean only two weeks before her wedding! she had booked us through the mail and we’d corresponded via email so when it came time to meet her face to face we were ready…we thought.
we met her for a cappuccino and she began telling us her story. remember how i said we were ready? not true. the first thing she filled us in on was that she and bj had recently been married. jean laughed at our failure to hide our surprise and explained that bj was canadian and once they moved to atlanta it had been in their best interest to go ahead and tie the knot- we laughed for a while about how much pressure that took off their upcoming wedding! at the end of our meeting, jean left us with a quick warning about how crazy awesome their celebration was going to be. and oh, it was. here are a few of our faves:
the sun was out in full force and it was doing beautiful things with the decor! even the shadows were worth a few images:
old homes with staircases like this always make for interesting shots. i love how full this image is:
jean and her father arrived to the ceremony in a carriage and it was a big hit. the driver was even kind enough to stay after the ceremony and take the little kids for a trip around the block- what a great idea!
the place cards had little bells for the guests to ring and encourage the newlyweds to kiss- no broken glasses at this wedding!
little kids love matt, i think he nailed this next shot:
such a sweet moment during their first dance…
this is my favorite picture of jean; she just looks super stunning here:
jean & bj, it was awesome to spend saturday getting to know you and your families; thank you so much for choosing us to capture it all! you should probably know that matt said ‘eh’ after everything he said for days, haha! no doubt we’ll run into you guys around atlanta- we look forward to it!
