Hilton Head Callawassie Island Club, SC Wedding Photographer | Jimmy and Michelle

April 5, 2016 0 Weddings

After a few weeks and a sneak peek here and there and experiencing their amazing engagement session in Savannah, we show you all the full blog post for Jimmy + Michelle and their Hilton Head wedding. Although we touched on a bit about how their story unfolded, there’s nothing like hearing it directly from them and how each of them experienced their lives during from their dating days through engagement and on to this very special day.

The Couple: Brides Point of View

Jimmy and I met at our Kingdom Hall when he moved down from Connecticut. He was very shy and barely talked and I just crushed from far away until one weekend he went up to visit my cousins and she insisted he get to know me. The following day, October 17^th he contacted me and since then we have grown to be best friends. He made it very easy to let my guard down (since I was the type who claimed I would never get married… people even recorded me for proof!). We were friends for a while before we started dating officially. The following year on July 26, 2014 a very hot summer day my best friends and I planned a weekend to do things off of our bucket list (a list we need to finish before one of us gets married) and part of it was a scavenger hunt.

We went all over downtown Savannah finishing this scavenger hunt (which I did not notice had an engagement theme) and ended up at Forsyth Park. This was to be the location of our best friend photoshoot but to my huge surprise this was the spot I was to be engaged. A complete surprise to see him there. He was so nervous but it was so adorable and I was so happy it was finally happening.

The Couple: Grooms Point of View

It alI started when I came down alone for vacation to visit some family. On July 10th I visited the Kingdom Hall and to my surprise I met Michelle. She was completely stunning. I still remember what she was wearing that day. We briefly said hello and she told me Welcome to Ridgeland and then gave me her gorgeous smile. From that day on I was in love. Of course I was very shy as I wasn’t comfortable in such a new environment. A few months later we had went to visit in Atlanta. Mellissa her cousin talked to me more about Michelle and next thing you know I was talking to her the whole way back from Atlanta. It was amazing she has such a great personality. March 9th I grabbed the courage to speak to her parents and ask for their permission to date her. After that my life took a change for the better. A year and a half later I sat with her friends in Starbucks. We planned the whole engagement out and on July 26th 2014 it took place. I was so nervous when I arrived to the park as we had friends and family around. So I hopped out of a bush, walked up to her and proposed. Really don’t remember what I said as I was about to faint from the nerves haha. So here we are now and I can’t wait till October 10th to be with my amazing woman for eternity.

The Venue: Callawassie Island Club

Michelle’s great grandmother was there to witness the wedding and attend the reception. How amazing is that! We always look out for these cherished memories with loved ones while they’re still with us.

Congratulations Jimmy + Michelle. I’m sure you enjoyed your honeymoon in Paris.

Chukkar Farms, Alpharetta GA Wedding Photographer | Ruben + Sasha : Sneak Peek

November 2, 2015 0 Weddings

Their wedding day was overcast, cold and windy but both Ruben and Sasha wouldn’t have noticed. These two were so in love and were phenomenal to work with. We have never seen a couple so cool, calm and collected from the moment we arrived at their hotel until the end of the night. Here’s a little sneak peek of what’s to come from the Chukkar Farms wedding.

An amazing first look took place right before jumping on to a white trolley from Georgia Trolley Services.

Playing with the wind and her veil brought laughter.

Can’t wait to share more!

Buford, GA Photographer | Yaquelin and Alex

October 30, 2015 1 Fifth Avenue Event Hall, Weddings

So you might remember Yaquelin and Alex from their amazing engagement session and from the sneak peek we blogged about a few weeks ago. Well here we’re presenting the complete blog post. It was extremely hard to narrow down the photos for this blog.

The Couple: Yaquelin and Alex

These two were simply amazing. To see the love from within themselves, their faith and the love their friends and family displayed, they are sure to have a successful marriage. Alex is from Lawrenceville, Georgia and Yaqui is from Franklin, Tennessee. they met at a convention a few years ago in Dalton. They were both shy but despite the nerves he mustered up the courage to ask for her number and a beautiful friendship began.

The Ceremony:

The day started gloomy and gray with a constant mist but that didn’t damper their spirits. All they could think of that day was the fact that they each were going to marry their best friend and spend their lives together forever. Nothing was going to change that. It was so beautiful to witness. Their first look took place on the white lattice bridge over the lake at Vines Botanical Garden in Loganville, Georgia. It was the perfect setting. It’s a beautiful event facility connected to a manicured park with lakes and trails. The weather cooperated for us despite the forecast.

The Reception: Fifth Avenue Event Hall

After the ceremony, the reception took place at Fifth Avenue Event Hall in Buford, Georgia where the couple danced the night away. We had so much fun with these two along with their family and friends. Congratulations Yaquelin and Alex. May you always remember the love that started it all. We love you!

Bisham Manor Wedding Photos | LaGrange, Georgia Photographer | Styled Shoot Published in Strictly Weddings

September 2, 2015 0 Published Work, Styled Shoot, Uncategorized, Weddings

This past spring we had the pleasure of working together with a wonderful team of wedding professionals to highlight one of the best-kept secrets in Georgia. Located in LaGrange, Georgia, the Bisham Manor is a Tudor-style castle with all the luxuries of a modern mansion home.

The location: Bisham Manor

Inspiration for this styled shoot came from the architecture of the house itself. The goal; reflect the custom, bespoke feel of the venue with the modern artistic style of today’s bride. An airy color pallet of blush, gold, ivory, and pale blue-green hues were contrasted nicely by the earthy, rustic tones of the stone and brick walls of the mansion, as well as the dark green landscape surrounding the property.

We are proud to announce that the highly regarded online luxury wedding blog, Strictly Weddings has just published this shoot on their website! Check out the feature located here.

Many thanks to the editors at Strictly Weddings for their consideration. Their blog post has many images; however, we’d like to share some of our personal favorite here.

A classic Mercedes-Benz roadster was just another of the many details that made this project such a wonderful collaboration. Something we affectionately call “Southern Tudor Couture”.

Majestic Fairy-tale Location

The Bisham Manor is no ordinary house. It’s custom made. The same is true of the beautiful wedding gowns used on this day. Couture dresses made of silk gazar and french lace with hand-sewn cathedral veils call to the modern style of today’s bride. A tall, expertly decorated wedding cake helps mimic the height of the house.

England’s Finest China

Imported fine china with a British-European style complimented the high-end English Tudor history the home was designed for. No two place settings are alike, thus tapping into today’s style of layering patterns and textures for ultimate design.

Vintage Styling

Luxurious linens dressed the tables and beautiful floral arrangements echoed the color scheme, providing a very modern, contemporary feel to the look of the shoot.

Once again, we would like to express our sincere thanks to the Bisham Manor staff and all of the vendors listed below that bravely navigated morning thunderstorms and a very hectic schedule to make this shoot possible. If you are engaged or planning a wedding, we highly recommend all of them for your special day.

Atlanta Wedding Photographer|Mark + Kim

August 11, 2015 0 Callanwolde, Weddings

Love comes together from all angles to make the greatest combinations. A perfect example of this can be found with Mark and Kim. He’s from Jersey; she’s from the Bahamas. He’s an avid fisherman and she loves to work with numbers. Nonetheless they unite to become one of the most caring, fun-loving couples around. Nowhere was this more evident than on their wedding day. An easy-going outdoor ceremony with laughs layered all throughout. Their happiness is ever so evident on a variety of bridal portraits across multiple settings within the Callanwolde Fine Arts grounds. Even though we’ve photographed multiple weddings and events here; never have we been able to make such extensive use of this gorgeous venue on one occasion, covering both the inside and outside spaces of the property. It’s a testament to the value they place on photography. So many thanks to this wonderful couple for such a great experience.
