First Look with Friends and Family

Bri and Corey understood the importance of incorporating their loved ones into their wedding day from the start. They decided to have a “first look” moment, where the couple sees each other privately before the ceremony, with their friends and family watching the beautiful encounter from the cottage balcony. This intimate and emotional moment allowed them to share their joy with their nearest and dearest before officially beginning their journey as a married couple.

Sparkler Exit

Jeff and Annette’s Story

A mutual friend set Jeff and Annette up to meet. This person must know them well to think they would hit it off. And did they ever! We first introduced you to them a few months back highlighting their Centennial Olympic Park engagement session. They are such a cute couple and their kids, amazing. Annette has two dapper boys while Jeff has a beautiful and slightly bashful little girl.

These two were so nervous before their wedding ceremony but as soon as they saw each other while Annette was walking down the aisle with her two boys giving her away, the nerves appeared to have drowned away. One deep breath and they were fine as long as they have each other. Once the ceremony concluded we went off to take their portraits on the grounds of the Country Club of the South and the weather couldn’t have cooperated more for a late afternoon in February.
