margaret & adam are married!

By Kate Altmix | Weddings | 2 Comments

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!

lexi & adam are married!

oh, wow. where to begin with these guys…?

let’s start with when we met them- at a walk through of their venue with their coordinator. they were OVERFLOWING with energy, creativity, ideas, energy, excitement and energy…and that was just lexi. adam was more reserved, but still witty, confident and engaging. together they were a power couple- you know one when you see one- they define that.

on their wedding day i walked in to find lexi and her ladies more than ready to get the party started! everything had been organized and planned and scheduled to a T and nothing was left but to enjoy it all; that’s what they were doing. i grabbed a few pics of lexi before we headed outside to take a few with her best friends and they ended up being some of my favorite shots of the day. ladies & gentlemen, i present to you the rockstar of the hour:

the image above and the image below are taken in the exact same location- i guess i thought it would be interesting to shoot against and with this beautiful light. i just shot from one side and then the other- not sure which look i like best in the end- they are so different! but really, lexi is so stunning, i could have shot her anywhere and been in love with the results!

while i spent time with the ladies matt rounded up the gents and grabbed a few portraits behind the venue. i love how matt uses space in his images- he’s the best ;)

matt took some time before the guests arrived to grab images of all of lexi’s beautiful details. while he was shooting he noticed this guy just chillin and made one of his favorite shots of the day:

i love each and every person’s expression in this next image- a beautiful mixture of pride and happiness:

adam & lexi wrote their own vows and had us all cracking up with their honesty and unique promises. :) it was a really personal and relaxed ceremony with a few extra impromptu ‘first kisses’ and lots of laughter:

lexi comes across as a person with a vision- and putting her wedding together compleatly proved that little feeling we got when we met her! all of the details were so perfect that we decided to put together a detail board to better display her brilliance:

there is something about this next image of their entrance into their reception that really just represents adam & lexi’s personalities, i love it!

there were totally adorable glam-ed out cameras on all of the tables for the guests to fill up and i have never seen them so utilized! even the bride grabbed one for a few seconds! from what i saw, i think there will be LOTS of laughs when those pictures are all developed. ;)

toasts were really emotional- full of hard laughing and even a little hard crying. i guess when you’re as passionate as lexi & adam, you have passionate families and attract passionate friends. it was really sweet to witness:

shortly after dinner the party really fell into full swing- here are a few of our faves from the rest of what was an incredible evening:

lexi is a natural rockstar and as such, is always in need of a mic. even during slow songs… i LOVE her!

lexi & adam, we had a blast at your wedding. everyone did. you created a day that was unique and fun and for that you are amazing. :) seriously, thank you so so much for having us there to capture all of the awesomeness that went down- there was a LOT. best wishes to you both!
