I absolutely loved Kylie and Vivek’s intimate botanical garden wedding! I’ve mentioned it before, but the State Gardens on UGA’s campus are a dream location for me. I want to take as many portrait sessions as possible in the rose garden!

The Chapel Athens Wedding

Weddings

Kaitlyn and Dillon’s wedding at The Chapel Athens continued the trend of their engagement session: celebrating the couple and the city of Athens around them. As it is practically my home town as well, I’m obsessed with some of the city portrait shots we captured between the wedding and the reception.

Today we are following Meredith and Hunter’s engagement session from Lake Herrick to downtown Athens! If you’ve followed my photography for awhile, you know that I adore three things: lakes, dogs, and gorgeous lighting. In this series of photos, you get a healthy dose of all three!

Today we’re traveling down into Central Georgia for Carlie and Kyler’s private estate wedding in Lyons! Since my career has started, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing a few private estate weddings and let me just say: I love them! The freedom and creativity by not having to conform to venue rules and restrictions really allows the wedding to shine!

Today I’m sharing a very special bridal session with Carlie at Birdie & Co Studio! The pure excitement of seeing everything come together in a top secret pre-wedding “test run” is a pure prelude of joy. The peace and lack of pressure on the day really comes through in these photos. It’s a sacred glimpse into those last few moments before marriage.

Engagements

Ashlyn and Matt’s engagement session in Madison, Georgia took place at a very special location to me: my backyard! I loved the way the light shone through the winter trees with the first hint of spring growth. Despite being a cold February day, the warmth of the sun and their love really glows.

Rachael and Mike’s wedding at Milton, Georgia’s Little River Farms was a classic, beautiful wedding.

It was perfection.

Hadden Estate Wedding | Watkinsville, GA

Weddings

Gracie and Luke’s wedding at the Hadden Estate had two of my favorite things: cowboy hats and a dog! There is something deeply nostalgic for the country life I grew up when I see cowboy hats and I love how they were incorporated into their wedding attire. Of course, any dog will always attempt to steal the show!

The Georgia Club Wedding | Statham, GA

Weddings

Caroline and Riley’s wedding at The Georgia Club was a wedding detailed to perfection! There’s something I love about a color scheme reminiscent of a coastal estate that Caroline’s choices absolutely nailed down. Between elegant white flowers and bountiful touches of blue, this was a timeless event!

Meadows at Mossy Creek Wedding | Cleveland, GA

Weddings

Carlyn and Forde’s wedding at the Meadows at Mossy Creek was an outdoor stunner! After watching the forecast all week leading up to the wedding, we knew it could be a close call for their outdoor venue. However, the rain quit falling just in time and held off through the ceremony!

For my first blog of the new year, we are diving into Ashley and Andrew’s wedding at 255 Milledge! I’ve spent so much time with them over the last year that this one feels exceptionally special. If you haven’t checked out their engagement session or their bury the bourbon session yet, definitely do so before checking out this one! I shared their rehearsal dinner last week as well. I’m simply in love with them.

When Ashley and Andrew told me about how they wanted to partake in the bury the bourbon tradition, I just knew I had to be there to help them capture the moment. I’ve loved getting to know these two during our engagement session. One of my favorite things about being a photographer is being invited into favorite traditions!

Kaitlyn and Dillon’s engagement session at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia is today’s featured blog. This is one of my favorite free session locations in Athens! A well-manicured garden or park always provided elegant, natural backdrops that enhance any session together.
