when we first heard from christian & alan it was through the most detailed inquiry we’ve ever received- they shared a bit about themselves personally as well as their vision for their wedding and their images- these two know what they like! since then christian and i have kept in touch and when their wedding started getting closer we were so excited to work with such a passionate couple! when the day finally arrived it was beautiful- i’m pretty sure that was part of their original vision, haha! their ceremony was full of little giggles from christian as she gazed into her groom’s glistening eyes. the sun was just setting and the golden light cast a glow over their intimate gathering- perfect for the start of their new life together! when i look back at her wedding now the first descriptive i think of is ‘warmth.’ the rich brown, orange and cream decor touched with sunset, the smiles and tears filled with love and happiness- what a complete joy to capture!
i began the morning with christian, her sweet mom and her closest friends. we chatted easily over doughnuts and diet coke- i could tell immediately we had a few important things in common! ;) matt began shooting a little while later at christian & alan’s awesome house (down the street from us!)- here are a few of our faves from the morning:
before we knew it the time had come for christian and alan to see one another for the first time. in true c & a fashion, they had the exact location chosen and when we saw the huge brick steps we immediately agreed!
after a few super adorable, super lovely moments they were ready to get started on some couple portraits. we didn’t shoot an engagement session with these two but their natural fabulousness rose to the surface as we worked quickly to make the most of our time. here are a few of the highlights!
we left the park for the ceremony/reception site to give everyone some time to freshen up and relax before everything started. champagne was poured for the ladies and we grabbed a few more images inside while matt and the gents enjoyed the sun and greeted the guests.
the ceremony flowed smoothly into the reception- illuminated by bright rays of sunlight, the guests chatted with the newlyweds, encouraging them, sharing knowledge, advice and hugs. the intimate gathering moved to the dance floor as the sun dropped lower and we pulled out our lights. the evening flew by and before we knew it we were calling our well-wishes to christian & alan right along with their guests.
christian & alan, we know how important photography was for you on your wedding day and we’re so humbled and flattered you chose us to make it happen! no doubt we’ll be seeing you around east atlanta; so glad we discovered that we’re neighbors! best wishes!
