Hattie & Randy live just down the street- I love that I can not only call them friends, but neighbors! Having just covered their rehearsal the day before, I was so pumped to head back down to Serenbe to capture their wedding day. Here are a few favorites but head over to FB for more, or to their gallery to view all of their images.
we first met colleen & don at one of matt’s favorite places in atlanta, taqueria del sol, for a dinner of cross-cultural tacos and lots of talk about house hunting in the city. those two facts alone should give you enough information to know that this was a couple after our own hearts- we knew right away that working with them would be a joy. and thankfully, they decided we were a good fit too! so when the day finally came, we were excited to see them again and ready to create some beautiful images! the naturally stunning grounds of serenbe were all but glittering with sun (forecast? rain.) when we turned onto the lane that saturday morning. we squinted against the flood of yellow sunlight as it blanketed the cool greens and we smiled as every detail of the grounds set the stage for an epic wedding and celebration!
i arrived at the ladies’ cottage just as the florals showed up and ooed and ahhed with everyone else over their delicate colors- the perfect compliment to colleen’s natural elegance. everywhere i looked was a beautiful images waiting to be taken, seriously, look:
as the ceremony drew near, we zipped through fields and forest to arrive just in time to walk down the aisle. i love that matt was in the perfect position to capture this sweet moment between colleen’s parents as they looked over the beautiful scene of their families and closest friends waiting in the clearing for their daughter and her groom. such proud parents:
after colleen & don had an intimate moment to soak in the goodness of their new life together, we began exploring the amazing grounds of serenbe. we could have spent the entire day shooting around the property but there was a party to attend! so we made the most of the time colleen had allotted and loved every second of it:
the reception started with a sweet first dance and continued into a great celebration of dancing, laughing and general fun! the band was full of energy and a few suprises- talking more than one guest into a solo dance on stage! a few of our faves:
colleen & don, thank you so much for including us in your beautiful wedding day! we really loved capturing you guys together- your happiness together is evident and infectious; we wish you the very best!
