Greetings fans! We are excited to share such a lovely wedding and couple with you guys today. Leah and Grant were married at the lovely, and recently renovated, Grand Hyatt Hotel in Buckhead! This was the first time Bowie and I had the pleasure of woking at this lovely hotel. If there is one thing I can say about this location, other than its beauty, it’s that they staff is fantastic. Anything we needed, any questions we had, all situations were handled with care and excitement. From the top executive right down to the hotel staff, everyone greeted us with smiles and consideration.

We were also very excited to work with a few new vendors this wedding. Terry from Special-T-Events was the head of the show and Flowers by Yona created all the beautiful flowers and reception design. It was a great team and a beautiful day! Take some time and check out Leah and Grant’s amazing wedding.

To the bride and groom: Bowie and I were so, so happy to be a part of your amazing day of joy and love. Your family treated us as we were one of their own and we were so happy to be there for everyone. Here’s to an amazing marriage full of adventure, love, excitement and great surprises!

Morningside Baptist Church | Le Maison Rouge Paris On Ponce Wedding

Morningside Baptist Church | Le Maison Rouge Paris On Ponce Wedding – Today we have Mrs. Danielle + Mr. Cary’s lovely wedding at Morningside Baptist Church and Le Maison Rouge at Paris on Ponce! Bowie and I were so excited to get to work with a brand new and AMAZING vendor Crowned Affair Wedding and Events for Danielle and Cary’s amazing day. They have an incredible team of ladies and gents and ran this event without missing a beat! We started their day out at The Melia Hotel in downtown Atlanta. We relaxed and chatted as Danielle and Cary got ready to say “I Do.” We headed over to Morningside for their truly beautiful and emotion ceremony. We stayed back and fought off a little rain to shoot a few images out in the beautiful courtyard. After that, we headed over to one of my favorite venues in the city, Paris on Ponce. It’s such fun place – the whole venue is FULL of props and little areas to shoot. The surprise to everyone is the event space. Danielle and Cary managed to keep the Paris on Ponce a tight secret. The wow factor was not one to be missed at Paris and as you walk into the space you are thrown into a time of the past. It’s a time of a bohemian state of mind, cabarets and dancing until the sun comes up – very Moulin Rouge! Well, Danielle and Cary’s reception was pretty much that, dancing until “the sun comes up” – even out the door to leave and go on their honeymoon they were getting down! Their incredible band, amazing dj and super fun crowd made this a wedding for the books. We wish the best to Danielle + Cary and so happy for you and your families! Cheers to you guys and as always, cheers to love!

Joseph Ambler Inn | Talamore Country Club Pennsylvania Wedding

Today we have a beautiful Joseph Ambler Inn | Talamore Country Club | Pennsylvania Wedding! Jesse + Rebecca are great friends of ours. When they were looking for a wedding photographer they had no idea that we would travel anywhere in the world to shoot a wedding! We were so excited to find out that there wedding was in Pennsylvania, so close to New York City, that we jumped at the chance to be there for their special day (and we got to take a few extra days in New York)! WIN WIN, Baby! Rebecca started getting ready at Joseph Ambler Inn, and adorable bed and breakfast in Ambler. If you happen to be in that area you should totally stop, stay and chat with the amazing staff! We stayed at the Inn for part of our time in Ambler and will totally go back one day to relax in the natural beauty of the area. Rebecca and Jesse’s also did their first look and a lot of their photos at then Inn. After all the photos we headed over to Talamore Country Club for the big event! Rebecca was so nervous as she walked down the isle but all day, as you can clearly see by the photos, she was one of the happiness brides I’ve ever seen. Jesse has one of the biggest hearts of any man I ever met. He shed so many tears that weekend for his family, friends and of course he beautiful wife. No matter what anyone says – I LOVE him for all the tears and a tearful groom is a photographers dream! (some of the bridesmaids poked a little fun as his expense – but in a light hearted way – everyone loves Jesse) 🙂 I wish Jesse + Rebecca an amazing and happy marriage. We were so incredibly thankful to be there to see the day they sealed the deal! Jesse + Rebecca’s family treated us like we were on of the bunch and we are always so happy to be around people full of love and joy for everyone (even if we were basically strangers). After the wedding, Bowie and I headed off for an amazing adventure in New York City (blog post to come) We were on Jimmy Fallon – eeekkkkk – like on the stage, it was SO cool! Cheers to Rebecca, Jesse, their families and cheers to love!

Greetings! Today we have Kinley + Reid’s amazing Greystone at Piedmont Park! We were so excited to be apart of their beautiful day. We started out our day at a hotel in Midtown for getting ready events. They we all headed over to the Greystone! We had the honor of working with a fantastic vendor, Stylish Styems. Stylish Stems created the amazing bouquets and boutonnieres as well as all the amazing center pieces for the beautiful reception. Their work is amazing so be sure you hear over to their site and check them out! Kinley + Reid has a beautiful day of love and laughter – and at the end were showered with dry lavendar. One thing I will never forget about their wedding was the amazing way the park smelled at the end of the night. With how much lavender Kinley + Reid had thrown at them, I am sure they smelled like lavender all the way to Costa Rica – their amazing honeymoon destination! We wish many years of happiness to our lovely bride and handsome groom! Cheers to love and Cheers to Kinley + Reid!
